OverlyEquipped's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Kickstarter Video]

Ooh crowdfunding has never sounded so enticing~ Excellent work, Harry.

[HELLBENDERS - Applooza]

This first episode left me in tears of laughter, multiple replays, and simply having me wanting more and more come out from these two beautifully deranged sociopaths!

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 7]

This was pretty difficult to watch I must say.

Noticeably, the quality of these shorts with animation, consistency, and humor were slowly depleting as one went to the next.

[VO Home Studio : Space]

This was incredibly informative, I was able to understand the difference entirely, and it certainly is affordable with the piles of clothes that I can easily stack!

Thank you RicePirate, for solving all of my problems.

RicePirate responds:

Lol there are other obstacles to deal with in regards to recording quality, but I hope it helps!!

[Shadow's Quest]

Shady

There's so much to be said about this.

First off, the loader does not work. Now I'm not really familiar with it myself, but double checking for things like that is always best, I mean, you wan't people to watch this either way, right? The music you choice was slapped on terribly. I assume you thought that increasing the volume on these SFX would make it more intense when it reality all it does is cause some terrible popping through my speakers, you should of known this when you test played the video and right before uploading it. Then there's this issue of dialog you created which seems to be the typical writing for a fan fiction. You break the forth wall over and over again and it's done poorly. You have don't explain anything well enough to follow along with besides "Shady characters have been attacking Mobius". This isn't an animation more so it is just some lazily made motion comic that tries to be Super Mario Bros. Z like everyone else.

It's another generic story of Shadow with how much of a mysterious and lonesome character he. This idea behind him and certain areas of the 'community' that pulling a gun and sword out from under his ass just makes him the coolest and the 'gratest' is terrible.

(That was more of a rant then a review in the last semi paragraph, but everything above still remains)

1. for the last freakin time!!
read the damn description!!!
2. no, i didn't think that increasing the SFX would make it sound more intense!
3. If i explained what the "Shady charactershave beeb attacking mobius" then you wouldn't have much to think on about the next episode!! now would you?!
4. its NOT gonna be ANYTHING like SMBZ, DAMMIT!!!
5. hes not gonna be... wait i won't say, and he's had those... wait i won't say that till later in the story

Thank you for commenting!!

[mario: the smash bros!]

Try harder, I'm sorry.

This was not entertaining to watch, and I'm sure you got this program.

I don't think I should really even acknowledge the fact that you created a flash without gifs and more so stretched them out and framed them out poorly. This wasn't entertaining to watch, and I suggest you try to learn more about the program if you want to work hard on a project with Flash. Newgrounds shouldn't be built around animations such as this one. I don't want to come off as spiteful, but you need to rethink what you post and what you should very well not.

[Game Mashup Part 2]

Screensaver

I don't really see anything here that resembles much of a story other than video game characters all live within the same universe.

I watched your first episode and it really didn't do anything for me. Personally I'm exhausted with the whole premise of using sprites as a means to tell a story when you are very limited on just how far you can go with little dialog to back it up. Maybe I am being a little harsh on this, but this video just felt like a screensaver to me. People can find GIFs to use in Flash easily, so the most I can give you credit for it doing that and adding a couple of lines in that Cranky says. Judging by the length of how short these videos are now, I don't see this working out for the next couple of videos you have planned.

[Mario's Cataclysm]

Remember VGDC, guys?

I don't believe that this really deserves anything higher than a four star rating out of ten in our days. . . .

It's nice to know that you were 'inspired' to create this, and that's fine, but there were enough of these back how ever many years ago when these were relevant on places like VGDC. I chuckled, though I'm not saying it's amazing, great, or even 'epic' as so many are calling this right now. I'm not saying it's terrible either, I just think that these types of parody flashes of bloopers need to stop already.

So that's why I judged this so poorly, because there is nothing I can say to review this other than make something original or inspired of what you like instead of what someone else made.

I imagine though that the members of this site who rated this positively are too young to even know what I am talking about, but hey "haters gonna hate", right?

[SOS's Sonic Adventure 2]

I'm sorry. You get a 2 for effort.

You both don't really put a lot of effort into what you create, do you?

The fact that you both just got this out and ready for SoS kind of baffles me. With both of your work it is always just this poor quality taste and humor really. It seems like you write these scripts up on the fly honestly. In fact it's even worse than the first Sonic Adventure 2 Parody because you focus more on one or two parts of the story comple-- SUDDENLY WE'RE ON THE SPACE COLONY. This is the same thing you do with everything by the way, where you seem to have a collection of your graphics bundled up in a folder that was probably made back in 2007 or 8'.

I remember when I was at a much younger age finding these kind of things hysterical. Before I had a real grasp on the concept of what everyone was doing with tweens and Flash, now at this point it's just effortless to say the least, because you use it for everything. Comic Sans, really? This video honestly feels like you guys just made this sometime years back, dug it up unexpectedly, and decided to add the introduction with you both to make it special for SoS 11'. I'm most likely wrong, but the quality of everything really does not meet the standards for this day and age.

The voice acting you have in here suffers with terrible voice direction; it's either "wacky" and "zany" or "deep" and "rough" with an obvious voice modifier in the mix. It's sad really that even the music is slapped in without any real transition or sync.

There really isn't anything I can say besides this. Animations should be done and planned out, especially if you are doing this for something big like SoS. This is amateur at best and it will always be at this rate.
