I still can't stop laughing at the way Zach calls me a Hillbilly.

BrokenMOJO responds:

Him going from 0 to 100 instantly is always hysterical. Good shit, keep it up dudes.

What a pleasant surprise to see something new from you, dude! I can't wait to see what else come of these 3D skills you've been developing!

--not really a review

MiddleFingerRings responds:

Thanks Josh! Nice to hear from you. :)

That was fuckin brilliant, man. A great combination of music and visuals. You never stop improving Xavier.

KartuneHustla responds:

Thank you man!

Hey Dude,

Could you come to California and treat my walls... if ya know what I mean?

Love,

Tomar

RicePirate responds:

Oh, I know how to treat your walls... those dirty, dirty ... naughty walls. I know just how they like to be treated, alright.

Sometimes I think you take it just a bit too far..

But hey, I laughed. Great job on this, guys. The execution really just worked for me. Really over the top, but really getting INTO CHARACTER. I can't imagine anyone else backing that up as Sh0T-DOwN did, and I think you two make a good team.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Yeah, I decided to really be OVER THE TOP because I wanted to really express that that owl is absolutely FED UP with that kid. I did a chunk load of cursing and didn't even realize it. Most of the lines were actually improv. We do make a good team, and are planning on making more things in the future. I'm glad you liked my voice and his art! :D

A parody of his comic?

It wasn't a parody of his comic. It WAS his comic. Except tweened and with weird music.

NekoFluff responds:

ok X3 look at the comic, then look at my flash. *Not the same* i animated his comic. thats all.

Har har

It was cute, I guess. I noticed you ranked culturally relevant satire or whatever up there at the top, which I guess this was intended to be. It just didn't seem like so much of a satire as you just listed off things that everyone's already noticed. The sarcastic parody of a parody of parody comment just sorta made me roll my eyes.

The voice acting thing really didn't hit home as much as I would have expected, although I'll be so bold as to guess I'm one of these estimated 5 voice actors on newgrounds. If anything, I was kinda disappointed by how uninspired the voice acting parodies were.

The most ironic part to me was how you specifically acknowledged the importance of timing in comedy. I felt that the lack of comedic timing was actually one of the greatest shortcomings of this flash.

All in all, I think you're a good artist and I'm glad to share a newgrounds with you.

BiffTheTimid responds:

Actually, the voice actor things were added after I had already moved on to tip number 5, but I felt it was a bit too short, and didn't illustrate my point enough with just dialogue. The girl one makes me laugh, if anything, I like it.

I'm sure I'll be hearing more of you in the very near future so I'll keep an ear out. Wait, I think there's two movies with you on the front page right now! Or maybe just one, I've lost count. Keep up the good voice-acting.

Solid Animation

Great animation. Loved every bit of it. Granted (hahahahaha), it was a bit on the short side and the pacing was a bit slow, but I still very much enjoyed it, especially the easter egg. Also, my evil laughter was pretty gay but at least nobody else has mentioned that yet <_<. Oh, and I'm NOT PRO!

Evilcactus responds:

I liked your laugh it was just right i think. Josh you're a professional if you get payed to do something; and you said that you got a couple of cheques for parts...so you are a pro!

Forget the joke for a sec, how bout the execution?

Needs a lot of work in the voice acting and comic timing departments. Honestly, that interaction between the two characters felt painfully fake. Then the part at the end was timed very slowly and awkwardly so you were not only well aware of what was about to happen, but you cringing at the thought of just how obvious and lame it was. Maybe that joke could have been very funny if it was well-executed, but that's something we'll simply never know... unless we watch American Dad! =D

JunkYardAnimations responds:

ha, you're funny. fag

If I rated flash based on voice acting alone...

Well, it seemed like conceptually you could have gone somewhere cool with this. I can't help but feel that you fell very short of that. I saw some compliments specifically on the voice acting in a review and thought, aw I better check this out. I cannot understand why, of all things, the voice acting would stand out to someone. Aterga101, try as she did, gave a very deadpan performance and destroyed some potentially funny lines. It sounded like a dry read throughout and was spoken hastily and with little emotion. To her defense, perhaps the script needed some proofing. I can sympathize that sometimes the scriptwriter's first language isn't English, but that shouldn't stop you from getting a proofreader.

I am not obsessed with animation technique, but this seem to very little art in it and rather a small collection of symbols (mostly those making up Samus) tweened to the point that it become very obvious and unsettling.

Grats on your awards and front pages though. You clearly impressed a lot of other people who weren't me and that's just dandy.

Shadowii2 responds:

Yeah, I do know those facts, Im trying to add some expression things like if Samus is supposed to say "stop that". I write "annoyed" next to it.
But voice acting isnt that easy thing afterall since I always screw up with optimization so even if the voice acting is good, they complain that voices are too quiet etc etc.

Thanks for your opinion anyway TomaMoto.

Jackovv! Do not touch my borner!
