The most innovative thing i've seen on NewGrounds in a long time. Fresh, new...it was actually enjoyable to watch. I've gotten tired of the same old shit on NG, so this is nice to see.
Good job.

Well, here we go again..
I remember it like it was yesterday...but it was really months ago, when "One Ring To Rule Them All3" came out. I just absolutely HAD to write a review about it, as I felt somebody should have...it's not an easy job but somebody's got to do it. And I don't mean a nice review, with ribbons and bows attatched to it, and a little pretty pink flower to show how much his work means to me, I mean an honest review. Nobody else really thought to do it, I mean, why take a stab at someone who thinks he's so high-and-mighty as the Great and Powerful Legendary Frog, right? But I did it anyway, not really to get under his skin, I really didn't even expect him to read it, it was just a simple message to the viewers at NewGrounds to help them better understand the man behind the tweens.
The funny thing is, he read it.
Not only did he read it, but he also took it upon himself to RESPOND to it, something he hasn't done for...well...I don't even know, probably never. And I was amazed. I mean honestly, who would've thought, hey? He's obviously waaay too busy "MAKING" his own animations, but God bless him he still has time to sift through the reviews and respond to the ones that really get to him. And then he wrote, "this review isn't going to change the way I do things at all."
...Hmmm.
Now I'm no rocket scienteer, but I think that by RESPONDING to my review, you just DID change the way you do things. It bothered you and you know it, and you couldn't handle it. You're just a kid who wants to be loved by everybody without having to do any real work to earn it. You want to be respected without having any respect. You saw my review and thought to yourself "Shit, he's right. I am a total hack, and seeing as I don't have any self confidence I guess my only option is to defend myself against what he's saying about me."
A real man would just shrug it off his shoulder and move on without thinking about it, but you choked man. Good job.
Now on to the movie itself.
I have to say, with all honesty, I didn't laugh once. I didn't even crack a smile. For God's sakes, I didn't even think about smiling, not even out of pity for your poor, poor writing skills. This was beyond unfunny, I was actually in a worse mood after watching it then I was to begin with. Aren't comedies typically funny? And Metal Gear? What's your motivation there? It's been done, it's been done often, and often it's done better. Don't believe me? Watch "Metal Gear Fiesta", it's actual entertainment. It's less coherent, yet somehow at the same time, it's actually more coherent due to the fact that it gets the job done. It sets out to be a comedy and it accomplishes that feat. Meanwhile, yours sets out to be a comedy and turns out to be...well, just sad.
Here's a noodle scratcher; does anybody remember why LF got all his NewGrounds fame to begin with? Was it his writing? I don't remember people talking about that part. It was his ANIMATION, right? ...but now he doesn't even do that anymore...all he does is "write" the script...if you wanna call it "writing"...I would prefer to call it "stealing," but that's only if you look at it from the point of view of the people who have done these jokes before him...but I guess that's a matter of opinion.
It's a shallow world out there, even for underground entertainment that tries to keep to it's roots. It's even in the name; NEW Grounds. It's for new artists to showcase their talent, but now we've got egotistical asswipes like LF ruining it for everyone.
Here's exactly how NALO saw it, "Slap the "Legendary Frog" name on my work and I'm set for life. All I have to do is degrade myself to the level of commercialized Hollywood and I'm in, and people will remember me forever."
Here's the thing dude, nobody thinks about you when they click on this movie. They see "Legendary Frog" and that's all they care about.
Long story short, it's just a matter of time before people realise what the fuck's up.
Try to bring it LF, just try to step to this review.

So the dude did her in the ass, then punched her in the face, and you gave it a "teens" rating....I guess russians are more accepting to ass-sex in cartoons than americans are....but I wouldn't really know that anyway, being Canadian as I am.
The animation was nice, but the story was hurting. Also, the ass-man's voice sounded like it was recorded in an empty room.

Good work.

I'm watching your score slowly grow higher and higher, and you should be proud. You deserve it, you worked hard and it shows. And though this isn't my type of game, I still respect all the hard work you put into it and can clearly see the effort it took for you to create this. It is quite a unique game, and it's very well put together to create this world you've made.
To be honest with you, I probably can't see myself playing this game personally, but I know a lot of people are going to appreciate in a different way, so congratulations on your success.
Good luck in the future. Really nice work, you have impressed me.


Micol-Rankin-Games responds:

Thank you very much Bob. I really did devote all of my time to this game for a while. I hope to someday have a TEAM of people to make games with, but for now it's only been me. So to do this game is truly a difficult task for one man........I appreciate the fact you took notice. Thank you for playing, and I'll have different types of games coming this year 2005 will be the year of Micol Rankin Games!

stolen

Don't steal stuff and claim that you made it, asswipe. And don't claim that you "just recently learned how to perform trigonometry with actionscripting" when all you did was use the flashsite's game. They were the ones who worked hard on it, and you take the credit? Anyone who needs more proof, read bender_homer's review.
