NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TUMOR: An Organic Glitch]

Fantastically scary. Nice to see it ties in with SKIN which was equally as scary and gory as well. Part one is brilliant and shows that sometimes glitches / tumors can take a toll on the game itself.

ClockworkPixel responds:

thank you :)

[Ice Cream]

Adorable and heartbreaking, face at the end kind of ruined it though. I liked it though.

Mandalorian-Jedi responds:

Did the fart sound make up for it?

[Posh Cat]

You need a better microphone setup so you get less static in the background. Could also work on animation skills over time so things like Posh cat's paw moving don't look funky.

OliverHickman responds:

Ok thanks I know :)

[Video Game Violence]

I never went there with video games but I felt like it somedays and I just got a really bad headache instead from it, fun times.

Tenpouin responds:

Sad as it is to admit, a couple of these scenes are based on real life! Though thankfully I don't think I ever get that angry at a video game anymore.

[The Zoe Quinn Experience]

SJWs never fail to disappoint me (and they do a good job of being very disappointing on tumblr, whoops!). The fact they rush to her side and suck up and defend her despite all the terrible actions she's done is awful. Their excuse? She's a woman and therefore "being oppressed, harassed, and attacked" when none of the three are happening.

What are people doing instead? Calling her out on her terrible behavior, lies, and other bullshit. I'm actually pretty disappointed that this thing has caused me to lose respect for people like the Kotaku staff and Adam Sessler (X-Play fame and all, used to look up to him) because they want to skew the points of why she is being called out on her crap so much.

The satire game itself is sadly pretty accurate in regards to everything that has happened thus far. All of this could have been avoided if she had just been honest in the first place and apologized to everyone she has (and currently is) lied (lying) to. Instead, she tries to garner sympathy and skew the point of her being attacked (which never happened), hacked / doxxed (never happened, she did that herself), and harassed (being called out on bullshit =/= harassed.)

The only thing in the game that I can really complain about that seems to be off is her hair color. If I remember correctly, it is maybe one or two shades lighter than that color. Other than that, everything is pretty funny since it pretty much is satire of what all she has and is doing.

Overall, good piece about an issue currently going on. Thought this was going to be a platformer / point and click game but this pretty much cuts to the heart of things. Good piece. Hopefully when everything is said and done, she will be naught but a bad memory for every lady game dev having to prove they won't pull a Zoe.

Vertyx responds:

Thanks for the kind words! I took the colours from her Twitter avatar, so no, they might not be entirely accurate to her actual hair colour. Crazy girl is constantly changing it anyway.

Also, I liked Sex Kitten.

[Static]

This was a dramatic yet sad piece of work.

The art style seemed to have a sad look to it and seeing everything eventually fade with time as he slowly goes depressed in the afterlife wishing he could talk to anyone, have some to listen. Just being able to see something other than books seems like it would bring peace to the poor soul.

The audio is very clear. The echo added near the end as the static begins to kick in adds a sense of sadness. It leaves one wondering why he ended it all. However, the message is clear, even if one is sad, there is always someone out there who will listen to you and try to help.

Overall, sad piece and the message gives one hope at the end.

Horsenwelles responds:

thanks for the awesome review =D

[Addicktion]

I laughed so hard at how quickly that turned sour for him.

The art style is really nice and makes me think of older cartoons on Newgrounds that looked simpler. Got to love how when he was asked to write down "069" he ended up drawing a penis instead and starts to freak out over it as well.

The audio is very clean and good to hear. I like how the phone voice sounds filtered and as if it was coming from an actual phone. The voices were hilarious.

Overall, nice short piece, hilarious.

Markface responds:

You're very sweet.

[Madness Hotdog]

The idea seems pretty nice but way too short. The credits seem to be longer than the animation itself.

Animation seemed smooth. I think part two should have more time spent and making it longer, give a story to it, why is the hot dog there, how did the guy come to find it and other stuff. Would not be a bad idea to practice shading as well.

The audio was alright I think. Nothing too special, should try to find some stuff in the audio portal, always plenty of music that can be used.

Overall, way too short but still funny.

Oscar55 responds:

Thanks for tips,reviews and stuff.Thank for the rating too.

[Practicing the SFM:Basics]

This is not too bad from practice. Aside from not making his left arm move very much, you seemed to do everything else fine. Nice to see you turned practicing in SFM into a little comedy short, always nice for motivating I think.

McPhearson responds:

Thank you, I kept trying different things with the arm, but having it stay locked seemed like the best way to look like him/me didn't know what we were doing. I thought about having both arms locked behind him, it looked pretty funny, but I thought it was more amusing to have only one arm he somehow doesn't know how to operate. Also, I wanted to make sure that when he went into full sprint it would seem more extreme than his previous running buildup.

[Mint Hint]

Way too short but I think this was still funny.

The voice acting was nice. While the one voice sounded fine, the other sounded like the person was closer to the microphone when he was speaking.

The animation was nice and the graphics were good. For some reason, it reminds me of Beavis and Butthead, not sure why but it does. Really like the shading of the two characters.

Overall, not too bad.

Blordow responds:

Hey thanks, this voice clip was actually recorded a couple years back, I was going through all my old voice clips and felt like animating this one, even though the audio is a bit off! Even though it was short it still took me all day to animate, was good practice :)
