[Open Letter to Game Devs]

Egoraptor Proposes to Game Devs

I like how this short parodies web critics and personalities who think because of their popularity, they have the authority to propose ideas to their favored game companies. Not only that, but there's a few good jabs at the companies to whom you are proposing. The ideas you propose in this short are just so bad they're good "Glowy Light Wars," knowing me, I know I'd be a fan of that! Regarding the "Final Installment" for Square Enix, for those not in the know, "Final Fantasy" for the NES was allegedly going to be Square's last game as the company was on the verge of closing out. Since the game did so well, they made a sequel that was a spiritual sequel, and another sequel in name only after that one! Then it became Square flagship series! Square really should make a "Final Installment" because that really rake in millions! As usual, the animation was the typical Egorapter high quality I came to expect.

ANDY WINS!

MISOGYNISTICALITY!

Coincidentally, after posting this animation, I got back to the kitchen. Where I belong.

[The Journey of Remorse]

Lotus.

This short pretty well crafted, een if the animation can be a little questionable sometimes(smooth tweening, but sometimes the base of the guy's neck shifts around unnaturally). If there is one thing that is important in a person's moral development, it is remorse, because it is the only thing we have that will let us realize what jerks we have been. Some people don't have remorse sadly.

Vleric responds:

Glad you liked it! Animation is what we're going to focus on, and improve in future, just need more practice, so keep in touch!

Anyways, thank you for the nice review, and yes ... it is sad ...

[The Shoryuken Loop]

Heh Heh... "Sure You Can" Luigi...

Seeing how Mario is always getting him the shaft and never recognizes his capabilities, it's easy to understand why Luigi is so upset with himself since he has quite the inferiority complex. Luigi needs to stop hitting himself, stand up to his brother, and say "Ey! I may not have as gooduva inertia as a you, but I can a jump a so higher than and it makes for one a mean, green uppercut so [i]letsa go together.[i]

... And maybe Mario would then not reject his own brother for a goomba. Maybe.

[New Sonic]

Sonic Fans...

When did they get this creepy and unstable?

Back in the old days, being a "Sonic Fan" just meant a person who enjoys the wild, surreal, high-tech, speedy, and "way-past-cool" adventures of Sega's beloved mascot, whether it was the video games, the comics, the cartoons, or other paraphernalia... despite the "dis-canonical" nature between all products that kept the franchise from having a "coherent universe" for stories to take place. ..
(Do these funny animals live on Mobius? Or Earth? Planet Freedom? Does Sonic enjoy chili dogs, or not? Isn't he afraid of water, or did he completely conquer that fear? Didn't Sonic have a chipmunk girlfriend named "Sally Acorn"? What ever happened to Mighty the Armadillo, Nac the Weasel, and Ray the Squirrel? Who the hell is this "Chris Thorndyke" kid? I didn't see him in any of the games! Questions still remain!)

Nowadays, the fandom houses some of the worst social outcasts I've seen since the deepest, darkest underbelly of furry and anime fandoms. Very scary people more intent on paying utmost loyalty and servitude to the franchise and sharing their insidious unrelated fetishes rather then being vocal for the need for the developers to focus on the numerous gameplay and storyline problems that have been the real detriment to the franchise as a whole. Why is this? Where did this madness begat?

A good way to ruin friendships, relationships, family, and family dinners.

[Sonic 4 spoof]

Dr. Robotnik... A 300 level IQ... MY ASS!

Anyway, your short was okay. A couple flaws I can list might have to do with how slow the pacing was a bit, and how the character design were slightly off model. Still, it was good for a small laugh. The best part was the "hedgehog contacts."

BTW way, I haven't played Sonic 4 yet but, is the first level boss really that damn easy? Like, can I really take him out just by spamming the homing somersault and he'll go down before he even gets to the part where he'll spin his chain ball? Damn, just damn! That's almost as dumb as the time in Adventure when "Egghead" sent out a path of "homing attack-able" flying drones from his vehicle to Sonic saying "HA HA HA! SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE!"

ExploadingRabbits responds:

No lol the boss isn't that easy you actually have to land before you homing attack but it's still pretty damn easy you can beat him in about 30 or 20 seconds flat but i totally agree with the sonic adventure boss that was just plain stupid also the pacing is slow cause i wanted people to enjoy that eggman drawing for a little bit but now that i watch it it is kinda slow

[Of Cats and Cereal]

Bad Kitty!

It's shit like this that makes me a dog person! Cats shit, piss, puke, and scratch up everything like they own the place. They run away from home, and then they climb up the tallest trees they see...And then they expect you to get them down. Then, after all the rampaging, the devastation of expensive equipment, and totally ruining my COMPLETE BREAKFAST, they put on this "awww, I'm so kewte and innocent" look that absolutely always prevents me from kicking them in the face. Not to mention, Anonymous loves kitties, and Anonymous is always watching me, not that I would want to hurt the precious, adorable little hellspawns anyway. Speaking about hellspawn, thhat little myth about cats is probably true. That myth would be the one about how "God created the body of the cat... And the devil made the head." Cats just don't respect you.

Then again, those lolcat pictures circulating the 'boards always make up for their many faults.

yes

[Intro To Rob Head]

...And Now For Something Completely Different!

I see you are a fan of Terry Gilliam too eh?

Squash him with an elephant! He's a clown, and he deserves it for being a clown! I love it when those photo people get abused with their photo parts flying everywhere! XD

[D&D Requiem Teaser I]

So You Remember That Old 80's Toon Too Eh?

I remember there was this dorky wizard in it who was totally useless! XD
He's always be screwing up and pulled out the wrong spell! I think his name was Presto.

I remember there was this one funny Seanbaby article concerning the character in the cartoon. (He was comparing him to the Superfriends era Justice League; he was giving them all varying scores of "super ratings" from one to ten.)

I think he gave the Wizard a 2/10 or something. Harry Potter he wasn't! XD

Anyway, the art style and the character design seems to mimic the Tv show almost exactly sans the case with the backdrops and the foreground (they look a little plain and not as detailed as the backgrounds from the Tv show). Of course this clip was very short, and all I saw was that trollish dungeon master guy walking and turning and facing towards something offscreen. Welp good luck on your movie, I wonder if it's gonna be a more "darker & edgier" take on the series. You know, maybe with better writing and stuff.

dndrequiem responds:

Alternative,

Thank you for your comment! You are correct in stating that the backgrounds are honestly a bit flat. I'm taking them to task- and will strip the hand drawn dolmens, and much of the background to digitally paint them. Toei was best at it then, and I will attempt to match their quality as best as I can- a huge challenge considering backgrounds usually get last priority with me. That will soon change....
(As for the the script- to date, it will be from Michael Reaves.)

You are also right in stating that the characters themselves appeared close to the show. As a kid of the 80s, any effort taken to create a tribute should match it as closely as possible.

That's my goal. Let's see if it happens.

Thank you for your comment
