Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Every GSG Short from 2012]

What a massive sequence of entertaining shorts throughout the years! :O And great choice for the first one, it gets me hooked right from the start, easy to watch through short after short as if they were made to be watched this way. Nice idea!

WaldFlieger responds:

Awesome, thanks so much! :D

[Shaun and Terry]

Where are all those arrows coming from?! Well, the subtle naivety here's pretty entertaining, feels like an ambient slice-of-life sequence featuring two unorthodox characters. The humanoid forms of the characters is intriguing, makes you wonder what's going through their minds as much as how they react to all that's going on, hard to tell what they're thinking, why they do what they do... feels like something I'd want more of. Growing to know them in response to how they react to humans would be pretty interesting. Nice stylistically silhouetted style of animation too!

ThatGoatface responds:

Thanks for the response! Great overview and nicely worded, gives me things to think about :)

[Film Studies]

There are some pretty twisted movies out there indeed! Gets me thinking of Un Chien Andalou (that wouldn't be one of the ones you watched by any chance?). A short and spot-on skit on the supposedly meaningful abstractionism of the artform! Nicely done.

DanyellSmith responds:

Thanks heaps for the review! But no, I wasn't specifically referencing Un Chien Andalou, though from what I have seen of it, it has very similar content to what we studied.

[Pico: High-Fly]

lol, that ended quickly. Not sure what's going on, as I'm sure you know considering description, but up till that point of glass-shattering conclusiveness it was all going pretty well! Nicely animated, with a suitably catchy soundtrack. That 0 vote hmm... going for some reverse psychology maybe? :P Happy Pico Day!

-cd-

Clatform responds:

honestly, though, i had a broader storyline on the back burner that i just couldn't have the time to finish. The outcome would've been a lot different than just mostly meaningless scenes.

[FrogMan and Pico]

Heeey this thing is finally done! :D I recognize the first couple segments of it, but all the rest... there's so much new stuff! Also, Tom actually voiced his character? :O Nice work fitting in all the trademark submissions at the end there, entertaining Tank Man chase in particular, even that inescapable cock joke and appropriate wordplay. Seems like 2013 was that one year when things seemed to be crumbling down, but since then everything's going uphill again! As in, downhill, well, you get what I'm saying. In the end it feels like there's been a ton of effort and time poured into this one work, it turned out great! Happy belated Pico Day! (and btw.... what's missing? O_o)

artistunknown responds:

Hey, I've been waiting to see a review from you, 'cause I knew you were looking forward to it. Yeah, the first two scenes are pretty much the same as the ones that were already submitted though the first scene had some things improved and added, plus all the dialog was re-recorded! Also there's like 10 or so minutes of new stuff!

Yep, Tom Fulp voiced himself. Sometime last year I thought to myself "I just HAVE to have Tom Fulp cameo in this somehow" so I thought "why not have a hologram of him to greet people coming to Newgrounds?" so I reached out to him to record the line and he was happy to do it!

I made sure to make it feel like the fake submissions in the montage felt like stuff that could actually be submitted to Newgrounds, and yeah, I had a lot of fun making the Tankmen bit. I had been wanting to animate that since 2013! There was even a trhowback to Tankmen 2 with Pico thrusting the tank, like Captain did in it ;3 And yeah, cock jokes are the best.

Yeah, things did seem pretty bleak in 2013, which is what initially inspired me to make this. Things did get slightly better though in 2014 aside from the closing of the NG store (which I managed to work in since it still wasn't finished by then), but things are looking pretty great now!

And yep, there was tons of time and effort put into this. While I didn't work on it straight through, it was still probably a solid year of work. I'm glad it turned out great! ;3

And yeah, the whole "something's missing" thing was just a jokey attempt to get a daily feature (indicated by the daily feature trophy under the tree in the last shot) and it turns out that it is truly missing forever, 'cause i got 4th! Ah well, the reception's been great so that's all that matters!

Thanks for the review! ;3

[Ash gets arrested]

Hah, he's like a cartoon version of Houdini! XD Nice one.

-cd-

HDRevill responds:

Haha thanks man!

[Link VS Sonic VS Red]

lol, entertaining competition! Though Red can carry waaay more than that fo rizzle. Hundreds and hundreds of Pokeballs! Nuggets! Candies! Antidotes! Three fishing-rods minimum! Unlimited items all stuffed into that one backpack!

-cd-

Crunchlins responds:

Thanks for watching ^_^

And yeah, they can all carry a lot more, it just wouldn't have made for good scripting if I listed everything, haha.

[Champions! (LoL cartoon)]

Ahh that Ducktales theme was the one, was wondering through the video which one it was, just couldn't place it, but I love that melody. Animation, music, everything here is just awesome. Nice work!

Wolfmercenary responds:

Thank you!

[Cyy [β] - Grinding]

The sad sad truths behind the grinding! :O Feels like it could have had more of a purely comical effect, but did entertain. Keep it going!

Silverelick responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll keep that in mind for future projects.
