Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[it'll be okay in the end.]

...And In Addition To That...

...There will always be more fish in the sea.

(This entry was simplistic, but effective nonetheless. Good luck on your next entry.)

[Lucky Day Forever-trailer]

Hot Damn! I Can't Wait!

The animation is just gorgeous. That mega metropolis is really thriving with life and business. Plus, this one looks like it's going to be a real emotional drama as well with developed characters.

So what's this movie about?

[All Aboard the Pain Train]

Heh Heh. CN Real. That IS Hell.

Because when the "Cartoon" Network stops playing 24/7 cartoons, you know it can't get any worse than that!

Good animation, and darkly humorous. Good Job.

[Operation: Graveyard]

Top Notch!

This is martial action at its finest, frame by frame animation and all. The art pretty crisp too, and nice to see Nene become an action girl now and then.

So lemme guess, Darnell's gonna come next and be the one to rescue Nene right?

[Cyberen in: The Finale]

Beautiful... Here's To A Magnificent Troll! :')

For those who aren't in the knowledge of the history behind this masterpiece of an in-joke, Cyber-ren was a disgruntled Invader Zim fan and used to be a member of a notorious spamming group known as the "Barney Bunch." Whether this trolling was meant as means to vent frustration towards Nickelodeon for canceling such a wonderful darkly humorous show I do not know...

Their legacy as Barneys, although subtle, is quite notable enough. They are the reason why the search engine on this site negates the word "barney" from your searches. Basically it was a group similar to various "ock groups" except everyone masqueraded as a different version of Barney the Dinosaur. Members included NaziBarney, SovietBarney, GheycookieBarney(The "gheyest" cookie in the cookie jar), StrawberryBarney, and our hero Cyberen who was formerly known as "ItchyBarney." It was formed around the idea that "Barney the Dinosaur" was a gay pedophile who molested other characters from kiddie TV shows (Like Arthur, The Wiggles, Teletubbies, and a few Nickelodeon shows like Rugrats). One of the most notable of their rule 34 fanfiction was this juvenile copypasta about an alternate character interpretation of Drew Pickles being not only a deeply closeted homosexual but "The gayest man in the world." Their little stories were crude, immaturely wrote, deviant, sexually explicit, and scatological to say the most, and were posted in forums with the intention to disgust and irritate fellow NGers. Besides spamming the BBS, they also committed numerous flash atrocities, which they would spam up the portal with. These little animation mostly consisted of still pictures or Barney and Drew Pickles spinning and broken text speech. There was also another time when StrawberryBarney made an extremely annoying fart noise as a sound file which was looped in their entries. They were also notable for introducing many innocent eyes to Hello!.jpg or "Goatse" as it is more commonly known. And boy! The spam floods were HUGE! Granted, as with other spam groups, they too had their "lighter" creative side that actually cared about the state of Newgrounds to an extent. Keep in mind that their time was also the time when the NG fanbase was divided into two extremes: "The Foamheads": Foamy fanboys and sullen jerks who embraced the cheapness of Neurotically Yours, and gave artists like Illwillpress a free ride with easy awards while ignoring actual struggling and hardworking artists, and spam groups like the Star Syndicate, who spam the portal to strike down at the masses by trolling the humorless Foamheads on behalf of the ignored artists. The Barney Bunch slides towards the latter on the scale. So like most spam groups, there was a member or two who was actually talented, and had interest in animation, and was pretty good at it, and that guy was ItchyBarney(Seriously, check out Cyberen's other stuff like Drewventures in Drewland. [It's strange, but definately higher quality than the usual output of the BarneyBunch). The Barney Bunch soon came to an end when they engaged in the notorious act of "file swapping." Basically they would make average quality works that would get passed by the voting masses (Hentai quizzes, tutorials, etc.), and put some sort of script in the file that would swap the movie with one of their usual "DREW PICKLES MOLESTS BARNEY!" crap. If I remember correctly, this actually resulted in the entries winning awards! Nontheless, The Barney Bunch were banned for this misdeed along with accusations that they put viruses in their movies. (Which is untrue, for that was the work of a loser named Err0r.)
The Barney Bunch may be dead, but it members live on. Itchbarney has been reincarnated as Cyberen, and is doing swell.

Anyway, this animation was truly a spectacle. It was quite a nostalgia trip for me. Those times were heavy times, but fun and good times too. It just goes to show you that sometimes the most interesting stuff from NG is not always what goes on in the flash series, but what goes on behind the scenes in making them.

cyberen responds:

If Newgrounds has a wiki I suggest you write a page about the Barney Bunch.

[Batman Gets Pranked]

Classic Prank, But There's A Gaping Plot Hole...

Why is the Joker in the Wayne Manor? Why is Batman still wearing his mask in the shower? In fact, why is he even parading as his superhero persona in this supposed Wayne Manor? Is this even Wayne Manor? Maybe this is not Wayne Manor, maybe this is some other person's home, like Vicki Vale's or someplace, and Batman is just here for that person's protection, but he needed a shower because he smelled real bad, so he decided to take one for the request of the housemate, but the Joker managed to sneak into the household, and snuck into the bathroom just to pull that prank before causing more trouble like holding the housemate hostage. Or Maybe, the supposed person who Batman is supposed to protect in the house IS the Joker, because the Joker is really good at disguising himself, and The Joker actually arranged this just so he could pull that prank. Or maybe, this is just another random DC "elseworld" where the Joker and Batman are a gay couple.

RobsonStudios responds:

haha i was originaly gunna make it Alfred, but joker is just the best! and he kept his mask on because come on, thats just funny!

[DailyToon #425]

Ah So You Guys Are Fans of YMO Too!

"Rydeen" is definitely one of their best!

TheStarSyndicate responds:

YES! I'm totally addicted to Rydeen. Honestly, some days I put it on repeat for at least an hour.

[Turing Test]

That Was Actually Quite Chilling...

Anyway, as for whether or not this qualifies for bot day. I'd say of course a chat bot qualifies as a robot. Not only for the fact that this "bot" has an advanced AI, but also for the fact that it is a "bot" so tho say.

So yes this qualifies, and Issac Asimov would be proud.

Jimtopia responds:

Thank you, good to know I have the ability to create this thing the pro's call "atmosphere."

[Mario unlucky]

It's Not New, And Sure Isn't Original Material...l

...But it made me laugh! Mario parodies never get old as long as they are done right and this is pretty standard stuff. A 7 you get!

[Nicolas Cage Wants Cake]

Great Sonichu Reference There...

Even if Nicholas Cage took part in the bastardized American version of "The Wicker Man," he at least created the "NO! NOT THE BEES!" meme and punched a woman while dressed as a bear. For that he is a winner in eyes, and therefore, more of a winner compared to Christian Weston Chandler. Aww hell, EVERYONE is a winner compared to Christian Weston Chandler! (Of course, I'm not talking about the REAL, TRUE & HONEST Chris Chan that plays guitar, but that fat sweaty manchild, Ian Brandon Anderson.)

Btw, terrific animation as usual.

Will you make a tribute to "NO! NOT THE BEES!!!" in a later flash?
