ShadowWarriorLuke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arnie's Adventures (VGDC)]

I fail to see what I'm supposed to be laughing at

So then, the first scene. A fart joke. With fireballs. The second scene, Arnie falls in the water, is fished out and then falls in again. Am I missing the joke here, or is that it? The third scene admittedly got a smile out of me when Arnie knocked the axe onto the bridge but that's it. I could see what would happen in the funeral a mile away.

This kind of humour's usually only funny to me when it's so over the top that it's ridiculous. That aside, I'll admit the sprite usage is good, but couldn't it have just gone to the menu instead of playing that intro bit before the menu pops up every time?

[4 Swords ep.1 Remake]

Ha!

So Kuro did a voice for you then. Heh heh.

Anyway, this was a definite improvement over the original. The voices being redone was a good move. I'd add a scene select at the start and end though. Shouldn't be too hard seeing as there's already the next/previous scene buttons in place I think.

Here's to episode 3 being finished when it's finished.

[FFVI: Shadow vs. Sabin]

Surprisingly... good

I was honestly expecting some half-assed, badly animated mess that looked like the characters were gonna fight turn-based and slow-moving. This was actually quite well-animated. Stuff to help you out:

- Ctrl + T opens up a window in Flash to allow you to resize the sprites (similar to Ctrl + W in Paint)

- Compress your audio. There's a tutorial on how to do that on the submission page.

One last thing. If you make a FF series, don't bring Kefka back from the dead. That's just overdone and lame. Anyway, nice work. I usually vote 0 on FF works, but this got a 3 out of me.

ThatMan86 responds:

Thanks a bunch for the advice, I did not realize how much smaller the Flash can be when the audio is compressed.

[Bloody Rabbits.]

Bloody rabbits!

I feel priveleged because I got to see this in the presentation earlier today. And it's still funny now. So yeah.

I need to work on my one I guess...

[SC Saturday Night Live #6]

Trippy!

And that is why it's fun. And now I must indulge on a feast of pancakes.

[Kingdom Hearts May Cry 2]

Wonderful masterpiece...

Amazing how so many people get pissed off when you do a phony sequel that "doesn't meet their standards" or whatever, but I guess you did this for the funny reviews or something.

HOWEVER! I noticed a mistake. FF fans usually orgasm over Sephiroth more than Cloud. Or Kefka, but thankfully he's not in any KH game.

Now to fit in with the rest of NG. *ahem* LIEK OMG I WANT TEH TROO SEQUAL 2 KINDUM HARTS MAY CRY 1 WICH WUZ L337 K BAI!

[Hunter Zero Ep.3]

Cliffhangers...

Always... cliffhangers... still, shows you can tell a good story. I noticed that the sprites do that "jumping" thing still. If you zoom in to 800-1600% and line them all up with onion-skinning on it should get rid of that problem. Not much else to say other than I'll be awaiting the conclusion.

[Yuan & Botta 1]

You are awesome

This is pretty much covering both flashes. Congrats on being the first person to submit ToS flashes to the portal. Shaun of the Dead rocks, that scene from Family Guy is the greatest "previously" scene ever and Tales of Symphonia is one of the greatest RPGs for years.

I'd have given a higher mark if you'd drawn backgrounds, but besides that, these are both great. Lip-syncing was really well done and the character models looked really good.

[ludas animans Ep. 6 Pt. 4]

Epic conclusion

And after a year of anticipation, I finally get to see what happens. I could always see that you were good at fight scenes from the earlier episodes, but they're nothing in comparison to this. Everything, from the backgrounds to the music to the choreography of the fights, was flawless. Now I'm interested as to what Chris will look like in his new form. Guess I'll be waiting another year for that. =P

Hey, hey, don't put me down just yet. I don't think it will take another year to release the next episode since there won't be as much action sequences that will have me wracking my brain trying to come up with something. It will take me a little while to rip Chris' new sprites along with recoloring and resizing them, though.

[Shadow's Revenge 1 Redux]

Not the biggest Shadow fan ever...

But I gotta admit that the action was pulled off pretty well in this. Some of the music was a bit off in places but otherwise a pretty good movie.
