CroutonsOfDeath's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dooumb]

I pride myself on being a HUGE Doom fan. Been playing since I'm not sure I should have been... in fact probably my second or third memory in life and my first memory tied to a game was being 4 and a half, and finally convincing mum to let me play it by pointing out I had already seen all the monsters die from over her shoulder so I knew they were all bloody. x3 I was raised on that stuff, so I get all nostalgic when a Doom flash shows up.

Helps that this was a pretty good one. Even if the art was mildly inconsistent (That is mainly just a nitpick though) the animation itself was smooth as hell and quite natural looking, a lot of work must have gone into that animation. I think the bit that made me laugh the hardest was when he just outright bitch-smacked the Icon of Sin/Baphomet (If you care about Final Doom) Ahh always lovely to see a good Doom animation. Sadly there aren't too many, though there was a decent Doom collab from way back, a good adaptation of that hilarious Reprecussions of Evil thing, and Dumbass Doom. So thanks for this!

Saminat responds:

No problemo man! I knew that if I didn't take the time to write a decent script, it wouldn't go down as nicely. Sure, RamboJoe would have made it amazing regardless, but it's guys like you who can see through the animation, and pick up on the love that was put into the framework. Glad you liked it bro!

[I Know You Too Well]

That was a lot of fun! I'm a little surprised how much I liked the song, 'tis usually not my thing but it was catchy and well done. The animation was delightfully bouncy and it synched really well to the video. I'm sure I'm not the *only* one to point this out, but I will admit the fanservice was a little too much; which is probably hypocritical since I like the odd nudie here and there I just get tired of panty shots and scary unrealistic flubber tits but what the fuck ever. That's ultimately a nitpick, something like that can't ruin something that's genuinely very fun and very well executed and overall just fun to watch. Good job! =)

Spazkid responds:

there wasnt that much. If anything there was like 2 or 3. You guys are blowing it Waaay out of proportions, but thanks though.

["The Worst"]

Disgusting. Strange. Fucking brilliant.

This is one of the best horror flashes I've seen in awhile, probably the best since "Dog of Man." The animation and artwork was spectacularly unpleasant, you've certainly got a style all your own. Good show, sir.

[BEEBO part 11]

I loved this. Beebo hasn't changed at all... the animation is terrible, the art is archaic, the voices are low quality, Beebo still speaks in stock library meows..... and I wouldn't have it any other way. This reminds me of ye olde days of NewGrounds in all their ridiculous, dumb, non-sequitorial glory. I hope you make some more soon... Thanks for a good ol' school laugh. =3

[Thank you Edd.]

It really is hard to accept that Edd is gone; not just because of his amazing contributions, but also because of how young he was; life should never end that early. Still he will not ever be forgotten by his fans, friends, and family. My wife, Chie & I, have always loved his work. To all who are proposing an "Edd's Day," I feel that is a wonderful idea. Having a day where we pay tribute to a very funny man will at least prove that he did not die in vain.

As we would say here in Japan; gomeifuku wo inorimasu, Edd-sama.

Yusuf responds:

Agreed :)

[Stainville Episode 2]

The first one was a good, pleasant surprise... But oh good GOD was this one hilarious! Seriously, this has to be the funniest shit I've seen in awhile. I rarely give out 10s- I mean, 5s (I'm still getting used to the new system) unless I genuinely find something flawless - and I can't really call this flawless, but when my gut is forcing out a full-bellied laugh almost every 5 goddamn seconds, small flaws like some art and animation glitches don't bother me. I can't wait to see where you go from here.

[Stainville Episode 1]

Hehehe. That was a lot funnier then it had any right to be, usually when approaching "I wanna be gross!" animation, you get something half assed and just "Gross for gross sake" rather than actually "Gross for funnies sake." Thankfully, this was the latter - and I loved the general surrealism and dark humour thrown into the mix.

Also, I wish I came whenever I was angry at someone. Man, I'd be cumming buckets whenever I wanted too... 'course, I'd have to become a douchebag to do it cause I don't like being angry at people... but maybe, just maybe it'd be worth it.

Alpha-Nuva responds:

it would indeed be worth it. i wish you luck on this endeavor.

[The Steven Seagal Show #1]

Pretty much pitch perfect black comedy. I laughed my arse off for all the wrong reasons, plus the artwork was pretty nicely detailed - and damn, the timing - perfect for this kind of weird awesomeness.

[Did You Hear That? vol 3]

I absolutely loved it. This series is always fun, and even the third time around - the idea is still quite fresh. Probably because the only limitation is the animators imagination, and it is fun to see what each seperate author comes up with. I have an idea for the series though - what if you were to start a website and start a competition where artists can submit their animation and then users could vote on their favourites, and a group of the best ones will make it into a new volume - or maybe get showcased before starting a new competition. I'd like to hear what you think of that idea :)

Anyways, keep up the good work guys! These are really fun.

Graeme responds:

It is an interesting idea. My only problem with it is that I wouldn't want to put people through all the effort of making a part to not showcase it in a new volume. The reason these collabs are limited to 10 people is because that used to Newground's limit and I couldn't bare to choose who would and wouldn't get the credit.
Neat idea though :)

[Minecraft Documentary]

I liked that more than I should have

I went into this not expecting to care much for it, especially when the creeper showed up - it's not that I don't like minecraft (just finished a session) it's just that most minecraft videos I've seen are uninspired, and I was expecting your typical and droll creeper joke of "OMFG HE BLEW UP MY STUFF NOESSS" D: But... you did something different, and something quite entertaining.

In fact I liked it quite a lot, I liked the fact it felt like a genuine documentary - it still had tinges of humour of course but everything felt well thought out and "smart," you found a believable way to portray the universe through the style and I think despite working with material borrowed from a game, I think your explanation of creeper biology and behaviour was quite imaginative. Plus you made us really care about Greenfeet.

So yeh, this gets a +fav and a +4 from me. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
