BlackDevilX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awesome Video Games Ep32]

Flawless Execution.

Your jokes this time around, such as making bad dude Lester, bring over a game genie, and have it classified as some sort of drug paraphernalia was classic. Even having the addiction, and the smoking nintendo. With that being said....

I cant believe im giving you a 10.

This episode had to be, in my opinion, one of your best ones to date.
The addition of lester, truely gave this flash a boost. He actually had me laughing my ass off. "Just like the bears, im bad news" - I loved that line. it was executed so smooth in conjunction to that whole bit, and the fact that you edited it the way you did made it epic.

The camera angles didn't bother me much this time. But did yout quality decrease? I dont remember it being so pixely.

You turned the tide on this one my man, and all i have to say is keep it up. You got me hooked with lester, make him reoccurring.

P.S. I was wondering when you'd throw in the game genie. I was like No way when you did.

[Bowser's Kingdom: Eps 10]

Ehhh

I am not into the whole, documentary genre of ANYTHING, so i found this rather hard to sit through. You really shouldn't have named this an episode, considering it WAS in fact a documentary. It should have been named...Bowsers Kingdom: Behind the Flash, instead of an actual episode. (yes i mean i know its the title of the flash, but it shouldnt go in with the episode listing due to the fact that it isnt a part of them)

If you were attempting humor, i must say, you barely got a chuckle out of me sirs. The only thing that i chuckled at was at the last thing the hammer dude said ( I apologize i don't know his name, i just know hes from SMW). But even those bloopers failed to be funny.

Usually, i like your stuff. I mean you guys have talent, relying on second rate chars( i dont mean sprites in general, but a goomba, and a koopa? Whoda thought!), and tons and tons of dialogue with barely any action, i think thats a achievment all in its own. But this didnt impress me at all. I can see that you slugged your way through this, because i feel you guys could have done a better one if you tried, but even so, i don't prefer documentaries.

You had a lot of great set ups to excute your jokes, but you didnt do them right, and some dragged out too long, which bought the premise of them down.

On a lighter note, the voice acting was superb and i did enjoy listening to the goomba, and the hammer bro. I love charlie the unicorn-esque type voices.

[Project: Game Over Ep.2A]

Hey...not bad!

That was pretty good! I liked the effects! Everyone seems to have them but me >=/ Anyways, it was good. However some of the voices fit, and some dont. I liked eggmans personally. Also, nice touch with the 3d like effects in the fight scene.

My only complaint is the errors in the dialogue. Some of the times, someone would say one thing, and the subtitles showed something else. Its kinda confusing. Also even though this was great, it feels kinda rushed.....but its still good nonetheless

P.S. I know how you made this, it be best to disable the right-click menu XD

Dan-Dark responds:

oh yeah! I think it's my faul because I almost don't speak english, I write the dialogue in spanish and other dude make it in english, the error is: my voice actors speak it at other way how they wanted XD. for that reason, the voice and the subtittles weren't similars.

[|~SpeedAnim:BattleCool~|]

Pretty good!

It was good for something produced in 3 days. The animation kinda reminded me of CCC style, but maybe because the lack of color. But kudos for such an animation in such a short amount of time XD.

[I hate MAC ads]

Your still being biased against PCs

You've stated that they 'diss' each other, but all it was an obvious observation at the Mac, who was CLEARLY outwitting the PC more then the Mac, So if they were out to diss eachother then why did you make the PC act retarted, thus creating bias.

But then again i could be wrong considering recently, the PC guy has been doing some pretty funky stuff in the commercials (yoga, therapy, etc).

If you hated Mac ads then you should have had them stand on equal footing and not make the PC seem like some immature kid.

The idea was solid, but it wasnt what i hoped for. You didnt point out nearly all the reasons why a PC is better.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Both computers have their high points, I'd say. And yeah, making PC act like an idiot half the time didn't help the unbiased attempt... but that was more about parodizing how PC is typically portrayed in the commercials. And Mac is conceited, so personally I find that just as annoying as PC acting like an idiot half the time... but alas, not all is perfect. One of the weirder things about the 'biased against PCs' argument is that, in all honesty, I'm biased against Mac, but the way I handled the parody would make one think otherwise. I probably should've brought up the points I discussed in the scrapbook in the actual script itself... oh well. Thanks for watching.

[4 Swords Misadventures 5]

Chris Houlihan O.o

It took me an extra 7 years to find that room. And i only found it because of Game FAQs XD.

Ironically, i never go to the flash portal, but today for some reason once again i stopped by and bam! Caught this one early!

I Lol'd alot.

Super Saiyan Cucco, it only seemed natural considering how much they kick your ass in the games (Bombs, Din's Fire, Flame Arrows, Ice Arrows. They take a lickin n keep on kickin...your ass that is XD)

I loved at the gossip stone bit, and the 8 bit thingy. Very well played out man.

All this, and i have never played four swords still! I think Im going to play it now XD.

VicHD responds:

Hey, BDX long time no see.

You should give the Four Swords games a try. It may not be what you expect,though, since my series is loosely based on them. I was only able to play the GBA version, I haven't played GC version yet, but I will someday.

Thanks for reviewing man.

Oh and remember, beware of those cuccos in the games. lol

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 2]

Hilarious!!

First skit, right off the bat, i started laughing so hard. And the LOL's didnt stop there. You fluently kept the humor going, instead of starting off strong and then failing along the way. Amazing Job guys.

The 'Sonic Sez' opening had me laughing. But I dont get why you didnt throw in a "Thats No Good".

Anyways some of the stuff has been done before, but i guess its tough considering all the big ones have been done before.

Impressive artwork all of you, Even though some didnt compare to others, i enjoyed it. I wish i could have joined, but alas, i have no talent for animation.

[Awesome Video Games Ep29]

Do you EVER listen to your reviewers....

Or do you just keep doing whatever you want? That godforsaken camera angle is driving me nuts!

This is not flash, this is a video with a preloader. Stuff like this belongs on youtube. The only flash elements in this are a preloader and tha background in which you host your video clip.

GRANTED it is probably hard work, and im not denying that, but this really doesnt belong here. You would fair MUCh better on youtube, or something then NG. And yes i have seen your videos on youtube.

Your opening is becoming quite erksome. To tell you the truth, maybe you should ATLEAST change the opening to something that involves what your reviewing.

Good job on the review however, i actually learned something about Dr.Mario and that was his backstory. I didnt know that that incident caused him to become a Doctor in the first place.

AND IN A TOTALLY UNRELATED COMMENT.

Change your clothes plz, unless your knocking these out in one day, thats kinda depressing.

Glad you liked the Dr.Mario story dude. It's an epidemic of 8-bit proportions!

[Animation Challenge Wk1-3]

Irritating music!

GOD! Have a toggle or something! It was pounding my head!

Anyways Nice, i wanted to learn to make a walking animation, but i didnt no where to start, but Burrning Bunnies Gave me a good insight, Draw the frame first then animate the clothes. So i thak him for that, Everything else was fine though. And CHilly Philly your awesome at explosions.

But do somethign about that MUSIC! I almost turned it off!

Rudy responds:

Yeah, I'll have a toggle or change music button in the next addition :) Thank you.

[Awesome Video Games Ep22]

You tried...

You tried to be funny, but im sorry i found this to be annoying. That "Awesome Video Games/ Video Games are Awesome" thing kept annoying the HELL out of me. I understand you tried to create a theme like Gamer Tonight theme, but you overdid it. It was TERRIBLY irritating.

The camera control in this was absolutely terrible, the whole zooming in effect was WAYY over done and to the extreme. Granted NES Golf was terribly horrid, i remember this. It would have been nice if it actually an older man not some kid with a fake mustache.

Also some of the things i dotn understand is, you jumped right behind the couch where the 'Kids' Walked in. ANY idiot would have seen you. But since it is fake, ill just give it, OK.

However i do grant you that it was alright, and the game was mildly amusing. And the video quality was great, but even great video quality doesn't do justice for poor humor, terrible camera control and annoying tendencies.

P.S. Change the title from Awesome video games, because your KILLING Egoraptors buzz man!
