You have just beat Forehead Shavecut for the most insane flash movie I have ever seen. This is incredibly awesome. More randomness, please.

This is one of the most impressive tribute videos I have ever seen. Even though I thought Portal was one of the most repetitive games I've ever played you perfectly capture what the game was about: GLADOS and the fact that it's (she's/he's?) not exactly all there in the first place.
The only problem, which is a small one, about the movie was that there are more than a few glitches that occur during the movie with the audio, I watched it on my PC and laptop and both times it came to the point during the second verse, halfway through, where the audio cracks. Maybe I'm too picky, but the slight imperfection didn't mar the 5/5 I gave you. Or the 10.
You deserve it. More tribute videos should be like this. Bravo.

I had no idea you could wrap and warp hand-drawn graphics in Flash... Wow. The whole thing was funnier than anything I've seen on NG since Jerry and Dad's at Work.
However; you get the 10 stars, but, it seemed to me that you watch way too much John K. (Ren and Stimpy, The Ripping Friends, Tenacious D videos) and it rubbed off on you a little. On the other hand, you practically made the entire thing LIKE a John K. show which is damn hard to do, so although I think you unintentionally copied him, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, you managed to make the whole thing look so finished and polished you deserve nothing less than a perfect score - this is what ninety percent of NG attempts, and less than five percent manages; something good enough it looks like a hundred man animation crew made it and not just a few people.
Make more. Or I'll eat your pets.

Note: although all of the items in the game are ripped straight off of CS, I thought the idea that the "secret" weapon was a Barrett .50-cal SNR was awesome!
This is the kind of mind-wasting entertainment that I enjoy in my games... I seriously think this may be the best... Well... Now that I think of it, this may be the best game on all of NG.
The graphics, the fact that you actually got the AK sound effect right, the fact that if you pratice the M4A1 is better, but requires more accuracy. than the AK - the whole damn thing!
(and you included the Chainsaw... Which, In my opinion should have been a secret item, as it is pretty throw-away when you already have the UMP45.)
However, these are SEVERELY minor nitpicks for a game this good!
(P.S. If you make another one, throw in a Grenade launcher or a Bow gun for us RE fans. Also, you should really think about the Desert Eagle as a secret in the next one... But, anyway, this game is AWESOME!

A long time ago, before CS, there was this thing called "real life", I ripped everything from there. Glad you liked it though!

Normally I think "tribute" games are a complete waste of time. Seldom, if ever, do they get it right, normally just recycling a combat system and adding a few lines of code, scaling everything and calling it good.
What you did is something to be proud of, it feels like I'm playing AD&D: Eye of The Beholder on my IBM 386DX eons ago. I can honestly say that if you spruce up the graphics and maybe make it a little more in-depth at higher level play you could sell the damn game.
Abso-fucking-lutely amazing.
Congrats, here's the first 10 I've ever handed anything. Bravo.

When I first saw this, I was 16 and thought that the Thundercats were worthless. Still do, but after the fact I found out just how little the voice actors were paid for the cartoon, and in all honesty, kind of got pissed at that. Disney actors were making Scale Wage for the SAG (Screen Actors Guild). That's about 500$ an hour. The Thundercats actors were paid about 500$ for about ten, that's right, TEN hours of work on the first season. Also, let's not forget that many of the same voice actors in Thundercats later did re-dubbing and voiceover work on a lot of Anime. Most notably, for a piece of useless trivia, Lion-O's voice (whose name escapes me right now) was also the name of Zechs Marquis in Gundam Wing, where he made about a THOUSAND dollars an hour.
There are almost too many times that I hear the voice of someone I know, and so does the person reading this, but can never remember their name. Kevin Clash, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went on to become so high paid as a voice actor, only Disney and the Japanese companies could afford him to work.
But, on top of all of that is the fact that Thundercats, especially the bloopers, shows how dumb this series really was. Most mid-80's series were blatantly made to sell toys, and the only two that weren't (G.I. Joe and Transformers... Both owned by Marvel Comics) were intended to be nothing more than elaborate story-driven series meant to do one thing: sell comics. Back then, Marvel U.K. had acquired the rights to republish Transformers Japanese stories, originally written by Takara Inc., and modify them so that they would make sense to the audience. Must have worked, Marvel U.K. and Mattel bought the entire rights to TF for about 10,000,000 British Pounds. G.I. Joe was only licensed by Marvel, so after the series ended the only thing that they could do was say, "Happy trails, gravy train." Until the early part of 2000.
Thundercats, on the other hand, never really had a chance to hold on, even if one watches the current episdoes available on DVD (By that I mean all of the episodes.) the story still makes little to no sense. But, it has one distinct feature that, I'm certain, had the creators of G.I. Joe or the Transformers realize how dumb they were. The creators of Thundercats, back in the olden-day underground comics, normally only sold in adult book (Pr0n) stores, sold off the RIGHTS but not the entire thing, so when the series was over, all control of the characters reverted to them.
Which means from 1988 until about 2001 or 2002 they had a lot of characters that were really worth nothing. Then the money came in, and the entire '80's cartoon resxurrecction began.
And the rest is history.
P.S. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is probably the only major franchise out of the 1980's to actually GROW with their audience. Since the original comics were so blatantly violent (worse than Sin City) and sexual no one would carry them, so when the fans grew up they read the comics, and the current incarnations on Saturday Morning, now that they can get away with a lot of that stuff, are almost direct adaptations, with about half the violence.
My statement is this: The swearing is damn funny, but the reason for it is simple; no one liked WORKING on the Thundercats. They did, however, like recording Thundercats. Thanks to the vocal talent that proves even actors can comfortably say, "WHAT THE FUCK IS A SAMOFLAM, SAMOFLANGE, SANOFLA... WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS!

There is nothing classic about Night Trap, you're talking about one of those games that defies conventional thought, highjacking your brain and eventually making you say such things as, "Wow, all I need to save someone from a weapon-wielding murderer is a FUCKING fire extinguisher and a FUCKING trap-door! Thanks, Night Trap! Now I can go back to doing the rest of my important duties as King Lord Dipshit Fucktard, The Almighty!"
For the record, "Taco Man"? Wow. Reeeeealllly reaching there, huh?
I know what you can do, next you can make a game that's a guy with a baseball bat and the entire game is beating the shit out of a copy of Night Trap. That might make it up to the people who actually own a Sega CD and quiver in FEAR AND DREAD whenever someone even mentions that atrocity.
On the other hand, I never played it so you can disregard this if you wish. But to all those who will read it: I apologize for knocking this guy so hard, but, man, its Night Trap. Give me a little room, here. E:>

Normally anything that looks like it is going to be nothing but a tear-jerker is something that makes me auto-blam it. Funny thing is, the entire presentation of making it look like a "moving Storybook" Is something that also makes it incredibly endearing.
The Little Match Girl is probably the only actual Christmas story that doesn't feature families eating turkey and unwrapping presents sure to increase filial debt by the thousands. It is real and this story's ending is perfect. Rather than show everything, the ending is left out so you have to read it. Sorry for the illiterate retards who come to NG for all the violence.
Good Job.

"There are things that hit too close to home..."
This was awesome! You need to make more stuff like this. If you don't I will send an army of small voracious kittens with very pointy claws. Or a tactical nuclear warhead.
MAKE MORE DAMMIT!

It wasn't bad, in fact I think that it is one of the better Spider-Man joke movies out there. Good Job!
