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.

Metal Gear Crisis 1.1

"."

date: March 23, 2005

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.

Sky Boarder III

"Good work."

submission: Sky Boarder III
date: February 5, 2005

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.

Author's Response:

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!

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.

what the fuck? you're an idiot and obviously know nothing about flash.

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.

I didn't know Salad Fingers was doing Voice-overs for dating videos. He should consider doing commercials for Mastercard.

You should really change the name of the movie, because as soon as he said "no one remembers my birthday", I knew where it was going.
I think it'd be worth it to change the name, if possible...otherwise it's a great movie.

Tsunami Loot-up

"."

submission: Tsunami Loot-up
date: January 8, 2005

WHY ARE PEOPLE OFFENDED BY THIS?
It's not like this game is any different from your typical shoot 'em up. It's just shooting people and taking their money. Why is this any worse than GTA? In GTA there's a lot more shit going on that is way more messed up than this. Just because it's "too soon" and shit like that doesn't mean that it's any less acceptable than other games.
And deathmonger666 said "At least the violent movies or games that i watched or played or that had a sick humor at least is fiction", which is bullshit, because nothing is really fiction. GTA: shooting people, car-jacking, sex with hookers, all that shit is done in real life. It's not fiction. That is bullshit.
And who ever said it was based on the tsunami in Asia? Nobody ever said it was, and just because you think it's such a tragedy that this happened doesn't mean that it should be related to it.
If this game came out a month ago, nobody would be like "Oooh, you can't make games about tsunami's, people die from those!"
So maybe the idea for the game might've been sparked because of the tsunami, it doesn't mean that it should be shunned so easily. I mean it is a god-aweful game, it's repetitve and boring and it has no point, but keep your fucking panzy opinions to yourself.
And another thing, why is this topic so touchy, and people can't make fun of it, if there's shit going on in Iraq that's just as fucked up and people can make fun of that?
Over 100,000 innocent civilians have died in Iraq because of the Fucking American soldiers and nobody talks about how wrong that is. Shit is fucked up everywhere, GIVE IT UP! You can't act like your opinion matters if you don't know your shit. Don't watch the fucking corrupt news and act like you know how the world is. The news is biased and they lie about everything. Iraqi's have nothing to do with anything "evil" in this world, it's the media who's making them look like it.
You're all shallow mutherfuckers if you act all high and mighty when you have no idea what the fuck's up.
It's a fucking joke, and who the fuck cares if it's a touchy subject. If you give such a fuck like you act like you do then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I don't see any of you assholes donating, but fuck that they don't need any more money. If anything, donate to Iraq because nodoby gives a shit about them, though they need it just as much.

Why was there a strobe light in a mental ward?
You were right, it was pointless. Nontheless, better than most stick figure anamations. Just a little played out in my opinion.
Style points go down, but I still enjoyed it enough not to hate it. At least it wasn't crappily done, otherwise I would've been pissed off and this review would be a lot harsher.
Good work.
