Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Cringe Detective]

The special effects in these are getting so good! The green goo, the grave, the skull and candles... all shown at the best possible angle too. And I wonder if those glasses have changed, initially they seemed entirely white, now they seem to have a certain texture to them...

This was great. Short but: surprisingly introspective after all. Yet what do these really contribute hmm, there's no real motive, no punchline, social satire in subtle form maybe...

Rating mostly for visuals and theatrics. It's captivating. Message uncertain.

[Super Mario Land in 7 minutes ANIMATED]

This wasn't how it really ended was it?! XD

Love this. So much visual comedy, so much charm, the timing and pacing's pretty much perfect, with both jokes and overall progression, so much space in those levels too, sending the Sphinx across the dunes to get the ball and all... nice when the scenery's not just a background but actually something you interact with. The angles switch up frequently too.

Not sure I ever contemplated the surreal sceneries in these games, alien ships and all, with ties to the real world... it's a whole new world here, though familiar too, and the game really had some of the most iconic; atmospheric VG music ever.

Nicely done. Wholesome; great fun.

Would be so much better with sound. XD But fun stuff!

[TRIPPING BALLS]

Oh this was trippier than I expected! :D Just the three faces but they morph and loop so well, and so does the background... the pattern there seems all the more difficult to discern, is it a pattern, is it more like a spectrogram of sorts... towards the end that bit reaaally gets trippy! Curious if it's all automatic though? Seems all the more complex if not, and you barely even notice at first...

Trippy stuff.

chicogenerico responds:

oh well! the background its a trippy video i found on the internet and edited with the pixelation of clip champ , i think it also looks extremly trippy towards the end and i love how it turned out... probably cause i was also tripping balls when i made it.

[Just Checkin']

So genius. XD Not just the wordplay but the expressions, the build, the way the chess player just stands there and stares intently, that suddenly there's a crowd gathered after the grand Checkers speech, the atmosphere change as the notion of poker chip checkin' comes into play... this was so wholesome. Animation; acting; scripting; all. Even the end bit of music fits right in.

Appreciate that it all ends in as harmless a way as it does too. The emotions are tumultuous but always sensible; in the end it's just all good fun after all. And a nice run.

[Clock]

And it actually works! It's actually an actual clock! :O That seems eternally stuck on the time at which you first view it. Like time is eternally frozen. Like it's Clock Day forever. Hell yeah.

Intriguing. Don't think I ever learned the AS for time-related functionality like this...

[Investments : Foamy The Squirrel]

'All that which you can afford to lose' XD

I love the wording in this one... Pilz-E's a fascinating squirrel. In a way a strange kind of genius...

[Stupidity Hurts : Foamy The Squirrel]

Think I'm starting to feel like paying attention to stupidity is to an extent not that different; in some regard a wasted mindset... society's dumbed down for sure, but maybe it's not that intelligence is the direct opposite of blissful ignorance. Maybe you can grow a level of acceptance and understanding that allows for a similar sense of peace, and thus ranting about the stupidity in this world just... isn't a very constructive thing. Doesn't make it less stupid. Doesn't let you see what isn't stupid. Is a focus that begets stupidity too; allows for endless rants thereof.

Think I'm losing my interest in these a bit. He's spittin' facts yet I find I wish it was constructive more than rants.

[The Diseased Outdoors : Foamy The Squirrel]

Artistic or no it's always okay. XD

Quick but well-scripted this one... I like the green scenery too. Nice views.

[Editor in Grief : Foamy The Squirrel]

That actually ain't all bad! It's poetry, it is...
