"I'm with the audience at the end... booooo"

submission: Marios song

the lip-sync wasn't bad, but.. that's all there was to this movie. Mario lip-syncing to Kung-Fu Fighting, and a bunch of random eyes blinking at him. Well. That's... great. Seriously, this was lame.

Score: 4

"I see promise, but I'mah check "needs improvement""

submission: Cat (short film)

date: February 24, 2006

Your characters looked good, and they moved relatively well. That's the good news.

the bad news - The beginning lags to hell, and you really shouldn't have given the whole plot away on that first screen. Seriously, I finished reading it and was waiting for a long time for it to move on to the next screen.

then it got into the movie, and there were no sound effects, no voices, nothing. Okay, must be a music video, right? Nope. The song ended about halfway through the movie. That's annoying too.

Okay, then when they're running through the woods, yeah - it slowed down to like 2 fps, even when I dropped the quality to low. Too many objects that are too complex. You need to optimize your objects. If something doesn't need to move indipendently, it should be combined with the background, or whatever it moves with.

The rest of the movie had some speed issues as well, I'm guessing you've done no optimization at all.

But seriously, the artwork showed promise, as did your skill in animating the characters. You just need to get better at the mechanics of cartoon making.

Score: 7

"Best use of the hamsterdance song ever."

submission: Dance dün hampster

That was very entertaining and well done. It was also random. I like random (heck, just watch my cartoons, you'll see I like random). Excellent job there.

Score: 9

"YES! yes."

submission: The Squares

Yes. This is good. I enjoyed this. The pineapple at the end was a nice touch. Oops! I gave away the ending! That was quite thoughtless of me. Excellent. I have voted 4.

Score: 8

"Nice, entertaining"

submission: Magnificent Chubbalope #1

date: February 22, 2006

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series, it was very entertaining. I don't really have any suggestions, it was very well done. Good job.

Unfortunately, I watched several toons, then my browser crashed, and I came back to write reviews.... And now Newgrounds is complaining that I am not putting enough thought into my reviews... Come on, people, I don't really have anything else to say. I suppose I could tell you a joke. Stop me if you've heard this one.

Three strings walk into a bar. The first string walks up to the bar and says "I'd like three beers, please." The bartender leans in close, narrows his eyes, and says "We don't serve strings here."

He goes back to his friends. "We'd better go someplace else, guys," he says. "No," the second string says. "I'll get us some beer." He goes up to the bar. "Hey, man. Three beers." The bartender grabs him and starts to choke him, the veins on his neck bulging, his teeth clenched as he says "WE DON'T SERVE STRINGS!!!"

He goes back to the table with his friends. "Ok, let's go someplace else." The third string says "No, we're here for beer, and I'm gonna get us some." He goes into the bathroom and messes himself up, and gets himself all tangled up, and then goes up to the bar.

"Three beers." The bartender looks at him really close. "Are you a string?" he asks. "Nope," replies the third string. "I'm a frayed knot."

That joke only really works when said out loud.

Score: 8

"Nice concept"

submission: Cheney's Texas Takedown

date: February 22, 2006

I like it. The artwork is well done, and the gameplay is smooth. I'd like to see more variety in the kills, frankly, It'd be good if they didn't just vanish - it'd be better if they clutched their heart, their heads blew off, shot in the leg, what have you - something random with each hit, maybe 5 or 6 different deaths. Just a suggestion.

Score: 7

"Well animated, cleverish"

submission: Sonic Breaks his Neck

date: February 22, 2006

Pretty good... Not as hilarious as I was hoping, but well drawn and well animated. I liked Amy's blood, that was a nice touch.

Well, since I watched like 4 cartoons, then my browser crashed, and then I came back online to write reviews for them... Newgrounds is complaining that I'm not putting enough thought into my review. Fine, Okay.

Um.

Tails was pretty crazy. The incredible hulk theme was a nice touch.

I really don't have anything else to say.

Score: 6

"Better than I expected"

submission: AGNRYMAN ANTICS

date: February 22, 2006

I was expecting a pube muppet kinda thing, with almost no animation and just a character talking in a computer generated voice... I was pleasantly suprised. Crappy animation, bad drawings, horrible spelling - this toon has it all. Good job.

Score: 5

"Set your sound to "stream.""

submission: A VD Message

date: February 21, 2006

If it had just been in sync with the audio... then it still wouldn't have been anything special, the only jokes in there were from Spinal Tap, I was kinda hoping for something entertaining to watch. Some visual gags would have been good.

Score: 7

"It's all right"

submission: Mario Bros. Arcade

date: February 21, 2006

The sprite animation was superb, the sound sync was good, but most of the jokes seemed to be all setup and no punchline. I'll go over my ratings here.

Graphics - 10 - As I say, your sprites looked perfect, not a thing wrong with them. Well, the only thing I could suggest is that it woulda looked better if the fireball had been spinning like it really does in the game, 90 degree rotations only, instead of smoothly. But seriously, that's nitpicking, so I didn't detract from your score.

Style - 7 - Yes, Mario Bros hasn't really been done before, but Mario in general has, and unfortunately, to death. You stayed relatively original with your jokes, but there just aren't that many Mario-related jokes left.

Sound - 7 - The quality of the sound is a little low, which I suppose made the thing load faster, but it woulda been nice if it sounded a little better.

Violence - 9 - Most of the violence in here was kinda ho-hum, but I did laugh when Mario was frozen and shattered into a bunch of pieces. You got bonus points for that.

Interactivity - 5 - Not a whole lot that I noticed, but what was there seemed to work fine.

Humor - 4 - Like I said, most of the jokes were all setup and no punchline. There were a few decent ones, but I only found myself laughing one or two times.

Anyway, it didn't suck - I don't feel like I wasted my time watching it... But I was a little disappointed. Nicely animated tho.
