As a big fan of GoldenEye (both the game and the movie), I found this hilariously :) I like how it rips on the things in the game that just don't add up, like five or six static guards in the toilets. Must have been some bad chili or something...
The graphics weren't half bad -- they could be improved, but it's not really a big problem as it is. You did a pretty good job with the background and everything though and, although they could be improved as well, they resembled the scenes from the game well. Audio was spot on too.
Anyway... Nice idea, and well executed. It made me laugh, although it could do with some touching up here and there.
I look forward to it's continuation :)

HEHE....yeah I kinda' found it annoying that the gaurds just stood there. The graphics were weren't so good because I rushed thru it. As for the backgrounds, they were pretty good cuz I practically have the facility memorized in my head from so much playing on it.
I did make some touching up here and there after I had submitted the entry. you might want to check it out again and you notice small differences.
Thanks for the helpful review!

"This may sound a bit biased, but..."
Yeah, so I was trawling through the overgrown wilderness of the prehistoric BBS threads - only to come across the famous Photoshop My Friend thread! It's like one big time warp, and needless to say it was lots of fun to look through the whole thing again, almost a year on from it's humble beginnings as a simple Photoshop thread - I still can't make it to the end without cracking up at some point. Really, I'm happy to have been involved in such a huge collaboration of some great Photoshop talent and a really fun time, not to mention it's transformation from BBS thread to Flash movie.
You did a great job, with both the Photoshop and Flash aspects of whole thing - I love the style of the movie and the great use of audio which brought the entire thing to life. Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without the pictures provided by the, what...... 30+ users - on which note, kudos to everyone else involved.
Seriously, the whole thing represents some of my most enjoyable moments at Newgrounds... nicely topped off by seeing the dude's reaction after he finally got to see everyone's work :)
Great job, and good luck with everything :)

BadReligionSkater, buddy ! It's great to find your review here ! There wouldn't be "Dude Where is my face" flash without you ! Yeah, that was one of the biggest BS collab ever - and it was really successful. I mean - score of this flash is still 3.88/5.00 ;P You know - I have no words to express that - but it was a big pleasure for me to read this review. Good luck, BadReligionSkater !

Pretty good idea, combining many different tutorials into one movie, and using things taught in the tutorials in the movie itself, like the drop down menus. Its easier when there is an example to show you how it should work. Better than most of the ones that were around when I was learning this kind of stuff.

What an experience!
A lot of people right now are lost in the fray of what is 'punk' and what is 'pop'. Well, I am truely in awe of this piece of work - such a wonderful 'tribute', if you will, to real punk.
Really, I can't fault it, everything is great! The music is good, with a great variety of different sounds, and the save/load feature is very good too.
Shockingly addictive too. Incredible.

BadReligionSkater, you probably enjoyed the music as soon as when Tiny voices started :)
Thanks for the comment dude

Whats with all of these "Weird Al" music videos popping up all of a sudden?! Heh, I hope no-one beats me to "Genius in France" - been working on that bitch for ages.
Anyway, awesome flash, and I liked how you depicted the song lyrics in the movie instead of just copying the video for each song. If the mouths were hand drawn I think it would look better, but for the effort it looks like you put into it beside that it wont change the fact that i will vote it 5.
Great job, i'll be pleased if mine turns out half as good as that .
Author's Response:
There are other "Weird Al" videos on the Portal? I've been off the 'Net so long that I've lost touch. I'd like to see your "Genius in France" movie once it's finished! Good luck!

Do you know of the thread about this at the BBS to show you pictures in?
One small thing that I think could be improved on is that the end of the pin thing is a bit too big, but it doesn't really matter.
Awesome game.

The only voice-overed clip from a movie I have seen that actually deserves to be on NG. I know it's not really 'Flash' but it's just so well done that I don't really care.
Can we look forward to "The Matrix" 3?

yes..infacts ITS OUT!

There are options the the voice program to make pauses, so if you learned to use it you could have had the right timing for the song. Also, the whole thing looks like it was drawn in paint.
It's a good idea, but would need to be improved a lot first. If you spent longer than 30 mins i'm sure you could make it a lot better.

When ever I hear "First Flash", I immediately think "BLAM!" Not this time. For your first flash, that was awesome. Look through the portal and compare it to other peoples first flash animations, or actually any flash in the portal and you'll see what I mean. The text effects during the intro were especially cool. I look forward to seeing more of your work at newgrounds.

Usually all the Jackass movies here are crap it-took-5-minutes movies submitted my CKY Bam HIM obsessed kids, but this is 1 of the few good ones I have seen. The sprites were cool, where did you get them from? Anyway, make it longer, maybe 7 or 8 more skits and i'll be back to vote 5 on it. Good work.
Author's Response:
1. I got the sprites from a program called 'Inside UO' and 'UO Character Viewer'. You need to have Ultima Online installed on your comp though as it looks at .dat files (then the program opens them in a menu). Its a lot of copy/pasting/cutting :D
2. I did have more. There are two others so far and I did plan on putting a few together (about 10 - 15), but it was gonna take ages and I wanted to see whether people would go for it on NG before I wasted my time. Some people are asses, but its to be expected. Thanks for the support chaps, I'll start work on some more as I go. Keep your eyes peeled ;)
