Reviews for WoW: When Gnomes Fly

[AniGen2]

Good lord. I thought you'd at least be better now.

Alright...Where to start...

Animation and art. Let's see. Like all of your frontal view animations that attempt comedy, in the most pathetic, cliché sort of style, I was disappoited. The animation, like ALL THE TIME, was all tweens. No good animation there at ALL. And the art was just models, and joints. Some of them were even messed up.

Your style of flashing is so nerdy, stealing Simpson jokes and putting them in video game characters. It's not funny.

Sound... Aurora was the only decent voice actor on this project. And Cris Mertins. The main character's voice was... how shall I put this... ANNOYING AS FUCK. GET A REAL MICROPHONE.

Violence... is something I don't care about. So we'll leave that be.

Interactivity? Pee-shaw. Yup, a whole play button, and THREE SCENES TO CHOOSE FROM! WOW LIEK OMGOSHIES!1!

Humor is cliché, unoriginal, and overall just bland. You're not funny. Stop trying it.

Overall, I'd give you a three. Which is honestly more than you deserve on this flash... It's funny how so many noobs like you... Shame, if you practiced a little fbf, and something decent, maybe people would like you more. <3

Jesus...

Flash animators have been evolving, improving themselves. You just got stuck in the same old tweening style. Please evolve godammit!

People have seen animations from Adam Phillips and they know the potential of flash. You cant get out of your bubble of animating with the same models.

I want to give you a recommendation, use frame by frame. that will raise your scores because the animation will look more fluid, more real. Dont be lazy and try fbf. People liked your stuff because they didnt know the potential that flash had. So if you read this, just try and focus trying this style, fbf. Everyone just wants to see FBF!

As for the plot, okay you like warcraft. That's cool, make parodies of the videogames you like, but once again, dont get stuck with it! The lipsync u did with all the character was horrible, not that they didnt moved while they sounded talking, i mean it wasnt ACCORDING what they were talking. Do different mouths according to the vowel they are pronouncing! The viewer gets pissed when they see the character just opening and closing the mouth until he stops talking. Fludity!

Try and think the personality of each character, feel the characters' feelings. The surprise, ansiety or frustration- you must know how to interpretate this feelings putting them in the animation, not using the same symbols for all this feelings, it doesnt look good, believe me.

4 years ago it was allright, we were all starting. But Legendary Frog, you have been animating since a lot of time and you MUST know all this basic concepts of animation.

Please EVOLVE!

You can do better, Joseph

Okay, it was eye cand'ish, but not really funny, and definetly not your best one. The Code Veronica serie was also an uttermost dissapointment, so you ought to think your jokes through a bit more. Sorry man.

While you were away newgrounds grew up

You may have seemed really skilled back in '03 when most of the portol was occupied by stick flashes and hentai quizzes, but now we are reaching the point where alot of the work is professional grade. Take a look at the Yuyu if you don't beleive me (I'm sure you already have, that was just for emphisis). What isn't professionally looking is really very funny (metal gear awesome). If you don't REALLY improve your not going to look much better than the flashes that get highlighted green for a few minutes and then are overcome by those with taste. How should really improve? Well first read the other reviews, they will offer about a million helpful suggestions. What I would like to focus on is a little aspect of humor called timing: When the dwarf guy finds hes being hit on by the gay elf (sorry if this isn't the correct WoW terminology, but you said that you intended it to be funny to people that don't play so I feel entitled to judge) it seems as if you wanted to get it done as fast as you possibly could, so you don't even wait a second to figure out how a situation like that would actually play out. What might have been cleche (sorry about spelling) but still mildly amusing is just flat and uninspiring. Work on timing.
