All I do all day is make cartoons in various programs. Comedic animations, parodies of movies and video games. EGO FI.

Some me-related news before the year ends

Posted by Bobert-Rob - December 24th, 2008


Before I get started, happy holidays. Also, this has rambling. Beware!

Welp, I'd say tWHYlight did well. Sure, certain people keep complaining about my apparently fast dialog (I'm too used to it to notice), the parody binge I've been on, all the screaming, or the fact that I'm not totally reinventing the series every couple of entrees I do. There's more critiques, I'm sure, but these are the ones that come to me first.

First of all, I'm comfortable with the current condition of the style. Regardless, I am actually improving it little by little, but it isn't as drastic as it was when I reinvented everything for episode 5. Plus, I don't really try much new stuff for mini-episodes. Most of the changes I make are only noticeable to me, anyway. Engine work, really.
Second, I like screaming. The next couple of episodes will involve a lot of it. Someone mentioned that the screaming loses its power after awhile. I personally find the screaming funny, so I'm gonna keep doing it. If you don't like it, too bad, it's been a part of Siblings since day one and it isn't going anywhere.
The only critique I agree with is the fast dialog. Sure, I never noticed it and I totally understand everything said myself, but I wrote the damn thing. I basically memorize it by the time I'm done making it, so it's never a problem to me. I'll work at making it slower, but I'm not going to totally take the fast speaking out since that's another thing I just find funny. Maybe watching too much Zim has messed me up or something... that show is notorious for having dialog that is spoken at the speed of light sometimes.

And those are my afterthoughts on that. I'm going to start working on the next part of 'The Heart and the Hand' soon. I have to get that one done by February. I can do it, I just gotta get going on it.

I've also updated the game at the website. Added a few more enemies and lengthened the level again. I gotta update the background and shit soon, as well as make more enemies. Still feels pretty empty and all. All in due time.

-----

Okay, that's all my project news. Now for other news...
I recently got a XBOX 360 and I'm enjoying it. Mainly cuz of the games I downloaded on it... including Castle Crashers. That was one of the reasons I was psyched about getting the 360 at all. That game is damn awesome. Easy as hell, but still awesome. Can't help but feel like the levels could've been fleshed out more, but they put a lot of work into it, so kudos to them for that. It's awesome as it is. Now that I've beaten it, I gotta get back to playing Ninja Gaiden II... I'm only on the second level, heh. Damn me and my already busy schedule. And that game's insane difficulty... heh.

EDIT: While I do have a 360, I have satellite internet, so I can't play games online.

If you made it this far, congrats. You know all the stupid news on me up to now. Happy holidays, you bastards! ENJOY YOUR SHIT.

The dialogue doesn't seem fast to me at all. I think the speed of it all adds to the effect of the humour. But bleh.

Really? Well, that's good. I'm still going to try pacing it better, it does seem pretty fast. It probably won't be very noticable, but... yeah.

Meh... The dialogue made sense to me. The screaming didn't really matter seeing as I was too busy agreeing with every point this movie had to make about how many bags of soggy dick that movie blows. The book is far worse, apparently.

i dun think it was fast...but that could be the fact that my friends are always to hyped up on sugar and wont shut the fuck up...and i was showing my Twilight fan friends(yes the ones that squeal) the tWHYlight vid...they got pissed at me but liked it..i liked it, it was spot on the movie SUCKED i liked the books personally though... Ya and go ahead and scream XD i think its funny as well...and im talking on and on again...fuck must shut up...but ya ur series things rules and i cant wait tillz u put more up

I don't think the dialogue is fast.... though than again thats about how fast I talk when something is going on.... so yeah... and my friend bought me Twilight for Christmas because I supposedly don't read enough... and yes, there are little 10 year olds screaming in the back of it too.... annoys the hell out of me....

I was rather offended by the last line.
But not really.

SO THAS WUT CHU BEEN UP TEW. PLAYIN YER GAMES YA NERD.
S'okay yer still mah favourite.

Yeah you WOULD be offended, wouldn't ya?
And yeah, I been playing games. Get the hell over it. Playing games and visiting friends and family. Time consuming, it be.

I have no issues with the speed of the dialogue - if anything they only make the flashes funnier. Then again, I'm notorious for hard to understand characters so I can't say much on the matter.
And a Half-Beardy Christmas to you, I'm thinking of grabbing Castle Crashers soon myself.

It's a good game. I played Alien Hominid on the Gamecube when it was out, so I knew it'd be a good one. I just had no idea what to expect. I need two more controllers so I can do 4 player games, that'd be damn awesome. I only got two at the moment.
And I can't do internet shit due to satellite internet, so four controllers will be needed.

buy mirrors edge its short but amazing i loved the game story was different the time trial is alright i cant wait til the new map pack coming next year also happy holidays to you to =P

dude, the people complaining about the fast dialogue and screaming have some kind of humor disorder. Keep doing what you do best, you filthy animal.
By the way, that game is looking good, but one thing that really annoys me with it is that long stall after you jump, make it like 1/3 as fast. also add me on Live!

free apple

cheers rob!

Hm, he does start over with his running when landing cuz his running stops. I'll look into that to see if I can't make it work better. Also, I have no idea how well adding you on Live would work, as I can't play games online or anything, just download. Damn satellite interwebs.

I actually noticed you revamping your animation style. Since the episode where Mr. T guest starred I noticed that you've been pretty industrious on character detail. I knew it, you do watch Invader Zim, well I have a friend who likes it and he too kinda talks fast and has a matching evil zim laugh.

Try getting Left 4 Dead on XBOX. It's highly addictive.

Hehehe, scream all the way, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I've been trying to be. I actually started trying to finalize the style in episode 5, but many of the shots are still done the old way. HAZ is actually the first episode that's fully converted to the current way of doing things (completely using symbols).

Glad to hear you are keeping the screaming in Siblings, cos it's an integral part of the manic, random atmosphere ! The influence of invader Zim can only be a positive thing.

Complaints about fast dialogue? Hell, thats what makes it hilarious! Yo man if you have gears 2 then we can pwn n00b5. Gamertag?
Keep up the hilarious movies.

Satellite internet kills any chance of me playing online games. I can only download games. Also, never played any of the Gears games... not into first person shooters, myself.

Oh yeah INVADER ZIM ALL THE WAY. I GOTS ALL DVDS! W00t!

Hey sweet flash i showed it too my friends too and they all thought it was great, even the twilight fans. i also agree with the other commenters your dialogue pace is fine. also if you dont mind gore and like shooters gears of war 2 for the 360 is great for single player.

Sorry to have bothered you. But I saw Twilight just then and oh my, it was hilarious. It reminded me of tWHYlight. I tried my best not to laugh throughout the whole movie. I expected it to be good and all, but the movie producers and everyone involved in the actual movie ruined it. You did a fantastic job on making tWHYlight, basically because you summed the whole movie up in your Flash. Again, I'm sorry for the useless comment, I just wanted to thank you for making tWHYlight.

Hey, I'm cool with whatever you have to say about it as long as it isn't creepy or unrelated. And trust me, this ain't either of those, so good. Thanks for watching, glad ye liked it.

Okay a kid is happy for an apple that is eaten it looks like!!! Cool and stupid!!

Or is happy to be eating the apple.

AHK GOD DAMMIT I LOST THE GAME!

Yeah...

Happy almost New Years!

i like how fast the dialogue is, it makes it seem more witty :P

Yay deception.

Complains about dialogs? i dont think the dialogs are too fast. they make sense and i understand every sigle word. Dunno what people got against it.
Complains about your style? hell, its YOUR style, you do it like you want.
I recently stared shaving only the right half of my face, thanks to you for this wonderfull idea, and yes i am really enjoying my shit and i hope your doing the same. Happy holidays bastard yourself

P.S i know some way to play online with satelite internet(or i think i know at least) they sell some king of antena for you to plug in the Xbox but if you downloaded some stuff on Xboxlive, i dont know why you cant play.And im fuckin' jealous of you mainly because you got Ninja Gay-den 2 but also because your 360 work

I only shave my mustache at the moment. Yay amish beard. It's like the utmost laziest thing I can do... well, besides not shaving at all. I think I'm going to chop the beard soon though, I'm not sure.
And the thing with the satellite internet is that I COULD use it for gaming, but the lag between the game and the internet would mean I'd be like 2 or 3 seconds late with everything I do, effectively killing the game. That and I don't have much interest in it to begin with.

No, enjoy YOUR shit!

Your movie Half Beard is the reason I even made an account here! It never gets old for me... yeah im starting to sound like an insane fanatic... WELL MAYBE I AM! I seriously am enjoying your movies, though. Keep up the good work!

P.S. Good job on your game, its really coming along (ok not really, but enough that I like to play it and check its progress XD)

P.S.S. I dont know what the point ot adding an S if you forget what your supposed to say in the first place.... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE POINT OF IT IS!?

Ciao,
-SIG KITTEH, OUT!

Well, that's cool, glad ye like it.
And yeah, progress on the game is super slow, but what can you do? Not much, I got a million projects going right now and I'm feeling rather lazy at the moment. It happens.
And not everyone adds S's, some ad P's to the beginning. It's supposed to mean 'post script' or something, and when you add the S, it means 'post sub script', but if you add the P then it's 'post-post script'. Something like that.
