hell yes. hell yes.

As I have told you multiple times on aim over the long process of you making this crazy thing, BAD ASS.

A marriage of good music with animation that matches up with it perfectly. Coupled with a great dusty orange art palette and brilliant cinematography.

It just all ties together so well and I am SO GLAD its finally done.

AlmightyHans responds:

man thanks so much dude. and you cannot comprehend how glad i am it's done.

CoolDrMoney responds:

You were supposed to skip that part

cute!

there is potential here. while your character has no insane amount of detail (which is perfectly fine) he is recognizable (which is good).

the animation seemed a bit odd. the frame-by-frame parts that were traditionally animated seemed to have much thicker linework than the parts where you just tweened body parts around. There were some places here where you were trying to make your character "swoosh" and stretch and smear to show fast movement, like when he knocked things off the tablet.
I think you could go alot crazier with this sort of thing.
It almost seemed liked you were afraid to take it too far.

But this sort of character is the perfect vehicle for taking it to far. He's a patchwork blob! Have him really FLAIL!

Also good choice in music. Not enough people have been exposed to the rock opera grandeur that is the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Also, and this pertains to the let-yourself-go-crazy thing i wrote above, this seems like the sort of character that is funnier the more its injured. Like a Wile E Coyote but much cuter.

Hot sauce in eyedrops, while a cute concept is a bit nonsensical if only because there FAR WORSE and FAW MORE HAZARDOUS fluids that can be mistaken for eyedrops.

Hell, there are drinking games devoted to squirting hot sauce in one's eye!

i've lost track.
what was i talking about i cant remember. IGNORE ME.

RiverJordan responds:

People find this review Helpful! And so do i!

Now personally i'm not "scared" to take it too far, this idea started out with me saying "there's a visine for that" in school waaaaay too much and people were annoyed, and then i drew a little cartoon of a guy with a toothpick in the eye, and it ended up as this.

Already i've planned for 2 more patchman flashes, one he does fail hardcore, but another its... a different kind of fail :P You'll see i guess.

FLAILING WILL HAPPEN!

Thanks for the review! :D Everything that you've said is taken into consideration :D

comedic brilliance

nothing more
nothing less

what little animation there was, was decent too

a wonderful lampooning of simplistic text games and such
well done

Kyaztro responds:

rtil you are smelly

and your big ugly face is as dumb as a butt

good day to you sir

xtil responds:

Good day inded ! All glory Kim Jong Il ! No Motherland Without You !

bleh

"This was rushed, did it in 8 or 9 days so I didn't put quality into it."

it shows.

i'm sure this review will be deleted, but I just wanna say I think its in rather poor taste to half-ass a newgrounds tribute. which you pretty much admitted you did.
people will lap this up anyway, but c'mon man. its a TRIBUTE
care a little.

also you dont need to use motion-tweens for every tiny motion a character makes. the reason khale, freetown, and throwback move the way they do is because the artists behind them are trying to make the characters seem ALIVE by thinking about how they move and why they move and how to make them move. its about thinking about forms, and weight.

not just slinging a bunch of symbols together, moving the pivot points, and rotating them all over the place.

also
theres a reason the better animated series on this site dont use the pencil tool.

because its UGLY.

the only person i know who can make the pencil tool look nice is Luis. Go watch his pico cartoon. its magical. other than that though it looks bad in the hands of everyone else who uses it.
it just screams "I AM A ICKY DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION FFFFFF"

make sure to mark this review abusive, everybody.

thewax70 responds:

Dude, I completely agree with what you said. I did say I rushed and I meant it. I over-tweened, not much frame by frame, etc. Its just a tribute, thats it.

funny

Cute.

I like that, as opposed to trying to get voice actors to attempt to imitate the cast of the game, you instead used actual sounds from the game.
Which is a good idea. I doubt there's too many people online who can do a voice as deep and russian as the Heavy.

Also the whole theme felt like a real "Meet The" with the whole pseudo-interview mixed with scenes of a character doing their thing inter-spliced. Although honestly this is nowhere near good enough for you to need to stick "This ISNT THE REAL ONE GUYS" which is dumb to see there.

Noone is gonna think Valve made this. I mean its 2d for christs sake.

Whoever you got doing the Spy's voice did a good job. The spy doesnt have alot of lines in the game, BUT the voice you chose for the Spy in this, does indeed sound like the character.

So with these factors alone, the characterization and humor in this elevates it above your typical crappy newgrounds video game parody.

The animation in this is rather inconsistent.
It jumps from being funny caricatures of the characters with somewhat sloppy tweened animation (the scene with the sandvich, the scene with the pyro), and then flies into the other end of the spectrum where the animation was more traditional but alot jerkier and alot funnier (the demoman getting stabbed in the neck, the scout running away, etc).
Also, the spy doesnt look much like the spy. With the other characters you managed to capture their faces pretty well. But the spy has a huge nose. Where was his nose man?

WHERE WAS HIS NOSE?
ok im done typing hnnnnnggggg

JoeandTom responds:

Somebody needs to clean their vagina... That time of month again for you Zekey?

But seriously, please read the full description next time before you write a review. The only "voice acting" in this was me doing the camera man which I purposely made nearly inaudible. Everything else was just in-game voice clips by valve put together to form sentences and conversations in an audio editing program.. a lot of thought actually went into this... Almost.. 'too much' thought one might say?

But yeah, thanks anyways.

mmmm

monsters
neon colors
weird music
real animation

yes this is quite good!

TheBoogley responds:

thanks!

lovely

you know....

i'm not certain
but I think you are a fan of Mew.

also this cartoon was rather spooky, what with the combination of the black stilt man on the cat's grave and the reappearance of said cat in odd places.

yup

Foxcato responds:

Hehe I think so too:)
I've been in love with their music since I heard Snow Brigade back in 2004.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Also I'm already hard at work on my next project as I've decided to try and be more active this year.
