my opinion:
Nice
one suggestion ( dont have to listen) where it says images and gunsights, when ya put the curser over it, those box things look weird, maybe clicking on the words woulld be like a link.
Il take my bad spelling and grammer elsewhere now......

Flash intros and nonstandard fonts are the work of satan. Ditch the mouseovers, Ditch the special font. Put a hole in a concrete wall with your head if you consider adding any kind of background music. Shoot yourself if you decide frames might be cool.

Oh, and add a "home" link.

well i dont know what frames are so i dont have an opinion on them...

the intro is only 70k so it is not something "extravagant" just some spice.

so i should just use plain old sucky airal/times font for our suad, and look like every other boring text only site on the intardnet?

dont get me wrong, i appreciate the critique, just dont want the site to be some boring old same old same old.

The boring same old, is the boring same old because it works, it works well and looks good. Pretty fonts and flashy effects look great, for about 30 seconds(this includes the dozens of times the same crap has been used by other sites), and then only serve to annoy the visitor. Default fonts tend to be default because they're easy to read. Using fancier fonts for things like buttons is okay, but its not something that should be done on the text of the page.

The size of the intro is irrelevent, as an extra link to the video it's okay, but adding it to the front of the site just gives someone an extra wasted click to get into your site.
