Psychopath's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Squid Fight]

The animation, background, voice acting 'n everything are great as usual but the export is very low rez at 720p. Sometimes using SWF files are more worth it than taking the trouble to export the Flash movie as a video because of reasons like this. You wouldn't have this obvious compression issue with vectors. It becomes extraordinarily noticeable whenever there's a closeup of George; just pause the video and take a close look, that's terrible. The outlining is so faded that I can't tell individual fingers apart.

Can you reupload this as an SWF or is that out of the question?

[Taking Five Nights Off!]

The comedic delivery and composition was spot on but there are a number of problems plaguing an otherwise excellent parody.

First off, the s̶p̶e̶r̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ overacting of the security guard at the beginning was terrible, not to say that unforced acting could've helped since the dialog is its own special blend of unnaturally stilted with lines like "What did you not get about my STATEMENT!" & "I don't wanna look out for no FUCKING ANIMATRONICS!" Nobody that h̶a̶m̶m̶y̶ fearful would be able to maintain the composure or forethought required to form overly complicated, overtly formal and insincere sounding sentences like "What the fuck did you put me in?!" Does the writer have any concept of how to write dialog for an actual person or is he only trained to write Martians?

That leads me into another problem with this parody, the dialog doesn't flow as an actual conversation the grand majority of the parody. This is especially notable when Bonnie and Foxy start criticizing Chica, allow me to demonstrate:

Bonnie: Chica, you don't need to eat shit.

Foxxy: Yeah, you even scare little children in the morning.

How in the fuck does the rule 34 of Chica stem from Chica's overeating? No correlating factor was provided in the slightest, the two topics couldn't be set further apart yet simultaneously forced together into the same joke any harder. Unnaturally flowing dialog is the signature of a shitty writer.

Another thing, if the security guard is that scarred shitless of the animatronics, why did he even show up for work rather than just quit his job? Why was he reduced to a drooling, uncomprehending retard after yelling "Come at me! I dare you!"?

One last thing, learn how to draw a hand. It is not that hard. I normally wouldn't bring it up but you drew my attention to it by using a hand as the center piece at 1:05 - 1:08 and I've never seen a fist or open hand like that in real life where the thumb not only shares the same length in metacarpal bones with every other finger but is even longer than the index finger.

[Captain Toad]

0:38

Why is he gripping the neck of a revolver like it's a rifle?

[Apartment 51 - Episode 5]

I don't really get the merit for these remakes but whatever, it's been a long time, good to see that some of the truly old guard are still around.

[Theres a Man in the Woods]

I love this since it's such a bleak and hopeless story but I must point out that there was a very simple and very effective solution within reach of the teacher; call the cops. The minute that Cid told him about some dude in the woods, he should have just called the cops. They would've combed the forest so he wouldn't have to and he would have demonstrated to the parents that he was being a responsible teacher. Child abduction is one of the most feared anticipations for any parent, even abusive ones; he could have flipped the outcome of his situation into becoming a 'hero'.

Besides, they have a fence surrounding the basketball court but not the field? I see the people responsible for managing the funds for this school are fucking retarded, that says a lot about what the rest of the school board must be like. Now that I'm thinking about it, the protagonist deserved to get fired; despite the fact that the rumor wasn't true and he knew its actual nature, he should have anticipated that other people wouldn't.

The fact that there's random garbage littered about the forest reinforces what dipshits the school board is for not putting a fence up around the field, assuming that field is their territory. In fact, a lawn chair resting against a tree, facing the playground, implies that the kids are being watched, most likely by a pedophile if not a parent or both. Even if that's not the case, any of the kids could wander off into the forest and get lost or abducted.

Another hazard to consider is that since there's garbage in the forest that a kid might get injured fucking with it and if there's shit like a wheel and lawn chair, that means there's likely rusted metal objects that were dumped in the area; that means tetanus for the kid that cuts himself on the metal or puts it in his mouth.

At the very least, the teacher could have collected the junk and used/recycled/disposed of the shit within eyeshot from the edge of the forest. If another lawn chair appears, call the cops. If more junk appears, call the cops, only this time, call them for illegal dumping and child endangerment. The fact that the wheel and lawn chair aren't rusted over implies that that they were, at best, recent dumps and at worst, implies that there's still illegal activity ongoing within the forest.

In fact, by collecting the metal from the forest [the tire had the wheel inside it so there's no arguing against this point] he could take that shit to metal shops and make extra money from it. Huzzah.

Even despite the fact that the rumor was obviously bullshit, nothing was really done to prevent such a possibility from occurring, not in the fucking slightest. All the teacher really did was try to reinform Cid's classmates that there were, to his knowledge, men in the woods.

Fuck, telling other teacher's about the rumor would've helped since that would've meant that other people would know about it and it wouldn't look like a spontaneous fuck up on his part when the parents protested his conduct, that would have at least given him a chance to keep his fucking job. In other words, making the rumor as public as possible would've saved his ass, having the image of being overprotective is the best thing a teacher could have.

I only have one technical piece of advice; get a mic sock. I heard the voice actor blow wind into his microphone at the last line "there's a man in the woods". Getting a mic sock will prolong the lifespan of your microphone since it prevents both saliva and other shit in the air from entering the microphone and ruining it. Remember, pop filters work only as well as reflection shields; neither of them are omni-directional but your voice and dust particles are.

[Game Grumps Anime Opening]

Wow, sketched outlines of characters without color filling, I haven't seen that since the days of Dead Rain.

[Greg Sends An Email]

I don't know what happened but it seems as though that your video editing software corrupted your Flash movie at around first second of the movie. You may want to take this down, upload the SWF file and be done with it.

Yeah thanks I thought the clipping was only on my side. It should be fixed now though.
