I honestly would have never expected something of this level of quality to be capable on newgrounds. The artwork was sub-par, one of the best I have ever seen on newgrounds. The voice acting was enthusiastic, and well portrayed for both the grandfather and grandson.

The music was clever, funny, kind of sad towards the end, and just all around had a great kick to it. A tale of greed leading to tragedy / robo-genocide, leading to revenge, leading to deception and downfall, and then back to soon to come revenge. Had a dark feel while still keeping that uplift of the song sung by the grandfather to it.

Pretty much to sum this all up, this is a perfect kind of flash. Has everything you'd want in a flash: action, comedy, emotion, great music, great artwork. Phenomenal job, James Lee.

I felt the story was pretty amusing, the jokes were well done, particularly Francis healing the girl. I'm not too familiar with the game, but I didn't need to be to laugh at the flash. But some parts I felt could have been fixed up on. The voice sounds namely. The beginning, I felt was a tad bit slow. The pootube, the bathroom, the sleeping, I felt that you could've left those "times after infection" slots for better imagery, but that's just me. Plus, the rest more than made up for it.

Now, in regards to Psychopatrick88, how can you seriously say he should listen to the reviewers people are giving him when most of them are just nonsense? "YOU DON'T DESERVE YOUR SCORE!!" "THIS WAS BORING AND UNFUNNY!" He should respect THESE kinds of reviews? And even when it got to Joelasticot, while his review was somewhat constructive, it was more arrogant than anything else.

Reviews are about naming ways to improve flashes for next time, not for shooting down what you thought sucked, without at least offering an alternative. And as for "offering" him story ideas to make his better. That's just straight up arrogance, nothing more. And if the reviews are complete nonsense and disrespectful, why should he "open his ears" to them?

Anywho, nice work on the flash, looking forward to what comes next from you bud.

Even after voicing in one of the "Ego Tributes," I'm still not too keen on the idea, for one reason.

Your project gets trashed by people over and over for the sake of it BEING an EgoTribute. Here's the way I saw it:

Your animation design was something else, you had some very detailed design, if it when there was actual animation, it felt as though it had that "sandpaperesque" feel. But it was impressive to see, and visually nice.

The voice acting was decent, but the sound quality was not. My recommendation would have been to either tune up the noise removal with whatever recording gear you used, or to have just gotten voice actors from VAC, Newgrounds, or VAA with better mics.

I'm not too familiar with ZOE, but it did make me laugh when I saw robot with breasts then with that panel that looked like a penis. The jokes, were okay. A couple made me laugh, but all in all, I wasn't particularly amused.

But the thing I see in your flash is true talent. You have great design schemes, and I think, that if next time you push for a completely original on your own idea versus a tribute, you'll get a much better response, and above all else, it will be entirely your call. You won't have to worry about matching up to EgoRaptor's work. And frankly, with the talent you got with animation, I think it's a much more productive spending of your time to make something that comes from you, so it's 100% your touch, and 100% your work. Not that tributes are a bad thing, it's just that too many people mistake tribute with rip-off. Sometimes that's true, in this case, I wouldn't say so.

So all in all, good work.

I marked it as 6/10 for the reasons stated, but I still marked it as 5/5 voting because of the effort I saw.

Keep at it man.

That was some of the most enjoyable 60 seconds I've experienced all week. Dave's craziness, the mate's escaping the loony bin, and just all of Dave's mannerisms. "Yar ye be talking behind me back, yar." Just everything one could ask for in pirate related
shenanigans.

Yar, yee deserve a 10/10, the victory of this competition, the buried treasure worth 150 deblums...and all the corn in Iowa, lad. Excellent work, matey.

I remember this song when I played this game on Subsistence. It was MGS at it's peak, and you recaptured it perfectly. The orchestrated form you give it versus the MSX music it originally came with, seriously makes your version sound better than the original, and I'm not overexaggerating when I say that.

All in all:

10/10

5/5

Bumping you to a 4.40, you deserve a higher score than that bud, this is gold. Keep up the great work.

What can I say bud? This was a rather impressive demo reel. You have a great great GREAT deal of variety between each of your voices, and not one two voices sound similar, they all sound unique, they're all great voices someone could use in a flash, and they all have emotion and life in them, so it's good to see you're emoting well in your voices, you definitely have a knack for performing the various voices well, so nice work man.

My only suggestion, is while you gave a good amount of voices for your demo and voiced as each one for just the right amount of time, I think you could've maybe added a few more voices to the demo to round around 1:10 or around that range, just for genre variety, like action voices or horror, but either way, doesn't matter cause you got yourself a great demo here. Nice work bud. :)
