"Guns and action... and shooting"

submission: Bionic Commando Assault

date: December 14, 2006

FIrst off - you used a bit of my music! :D You're the first to do that... it brings a little tear of joy to my eye.
As a long-time fan of Bionic Commando, I was kind of hoping for more bionic arm-action... but given the shortness of the animation, complete with intro-drop from helicopter and so on, I'm satisfied. In my opinion, the animation is good as an iconographic little dive into the Bionic Commando universe - like you wrote in the description, it doesn't have much of a storyline, but hey, it's based on a game. I appreciate it for what it is, and that's action.

Score: 9

"Very residents!"

submission: -LSD-

date: October 24, 2006

Honestly, at first I thought it was a speak-track from the Residents, but I guess not?
In short, fabulously executed visual style, complete with the grainy, dirty Cunningham-ish acid feel, and a Lynch-y weird progression. I probably would have opted for a more varied soundtrack, but that's really just a matter of taste. Excellent work!

Score: 7

"Proper humor"

submission: New Numa

date: September 8, 2006

I'll be honest, the video itself wasn't exactly as good as the original. It just didn't have the uniqueness, the unexpectedness. Still, it did have a certain "kitsch" quality, a sort of "trying to hard but being aware of it" kind of funny.

But what *is* funny is reading all these reviews with people who are going on about how this should be banned from the internet entirely and what not... all you people, take a look around Newgrounds, or maybe around the stuff you yourselves have produced, and think about how much of it is just narcissistic, self-glorifying shite that couldn't keep a millionaire on crystal meth entertained for five seconds. The crappy bluescreen effects on this video are trying harder than most of these people ever did, and it's a fucking *joke*. Cheer up and be a little less concerned with "proper" humor please.

Score: 9

"..."

submission: The Ultimate Showdown

date: January 22, 2006

Two words: CHUCK and NORRIS. That bit was so goddamn funny!

Score: 4

"Nothing new."

submission: NG 1337 Translator!

date: November 27, 2005

Hey, it's not *BAD*, but I've seen (smaller) programs that do the same thing better from 15 years ago. How about some options:
Normal letters / CAPS randomisation, with a way to choose which type to favor
multiple variations on various letters
Only use "numeric" leet (1337)
Only use "sign" leet (|_££┼)
Include some (random) original caracters
and so on...

Fun, but not special.

Score: 8

"Meta-parody"

submission: lordofthematrixwars

date: November 6, 2005

I totally agree - this fan-stuff is all over the place. Which means that this submission can be watched two ways - as a parody of parodies, or as a standalone submission. Some people may not appreciate that, but I think the idea alone is hilarious!
An idea for your next one - make something that is TOTALLY violent, and TOTALLY interactive, and so on... to match the rating criteria!

Score: 8

"You f*ck cows in retrospect, c*ntface manwh*re"

submission: A New Bunny

date: July 9, 2005

A lot of people would probably call this lame or cheap or whatever, but I laughed my ass off. Especially the long rant in the end... I've never heard anyone say "man yoghurt" in such an absolutely mad tone of voice.

Score: 8

"Zappa tribute"

submission: Muffin Man

date: July 8, 2005

Aw hell yeah, anything by Frank Zappa can't be bad! Seriously though, it's well made, and of course, Frank has made sure that it's funny as well. I loved the twirly colourful muffin display towards the end!
One thing though - is it really ok to use copyrighted music?

Score: 9

"The 184 shades of brown"

submission: The 5 Shades of Brown

date: July 8, 2005

Great little piece of work, but there are a few issues... first, the theme is pretty loose, but that isn't neccesarily a bad thing. Second, if you use gradients and fading screens it isn't really 5 shades of brown. It would have been more fun to see the creators trying to work around the rule, instead of just bending it.
Of course, aside from the rules you set yourselves, there's nothing to point at. It's got good animation all around, decent sound, and fun contents.

Score: 8

"We're off to never-never-land"

submission: I Just Want To Get A Nap

date: July 8, 2005

Haha, the cliché is spot on... I particularly loved the chorus with the aggressive synth and the rap going on! The quickly changing imagery works well, mimicking the style of the music videos. The lyrics are quite hard to hear, but luckily there are subtitles..
Overall it's just a nice animation with a particularly well made music side!
