Blobocide

PsychicHeart · Sat 18/03/2006 10:35:28

Greetings,
I have been thinking about making some cartoony videos for a while now, and i finally got off my @$$ and did it.
http://rapidshare.de/files/15794052/Blobocide_Ep_I.WMV.html

The video is entitled Blobocide: EpisodeÃ,Â I.
I know there are a few bad details like the fact you can barely see the writing for the ninja and the napoleon dynamite, and the music sounds damn awful in .wav, but it was the best i could do with WMM, and until i buy something better, i'm stuck with itÃ,Â $:-\$ .
Cheers,
Fluke.

Well...uh....yeah.

LGM · Sat 18/03/2006 15:43:55

This is what happens to kids who play too many video games and watch too many cartoons...

I'm sorry, Fluke. But trying to make funny excuses about why you can't draw or animate or write correctly doesn't make you movie inherently funny.

Doesn't sound like I'm missing out on much anyway?

I followed the process quite far, until all mention of the download had disappeared completely, and I just gave up.

Nikolas · Sat 18/03/2006 18:52:02

I'm Ace!

Yes, Fluke told me I'm an ace! Yeah!

Well... that was almost entertaining. The music was nice, and well done!

the graphics could've been better, but I really like the blobs, honestly.

The plot was

Anyway I hope you'll have a second episode and if you do I will watch it!

As for rapidshare, try to find something else to upload your files....

Cheers,

N.

Yeah, it's a bit like a hardcore "Where's Wally" picture when using that site.

I found it quite amusing, but could you still make something that makes more sense next time, please.

Ashen · Sat 18/03/2006 19:09:16

Sense is optional, fancy graphics are optional, humour isn't. Unfortunately I don't think this had any of 'em, but it did get me curious for future episodes.
Also, it'd have been better if the text didn't stay on screen so long - I think I skipped ahead through about 2/3 of it without actually missing a single thing.

Erenan · Sat 18/03/2006 19:16:47

My dignity hurts.

Haddas · Sat 18/03/2006 19:59:22

We all start out somewhere.

BOYD1981 · Sat 18/03/2006 21:28:53

yes, we do. but it's not always apparent that we're going nowhere.

PsychicHeart · Sat 18/03/2006 23:12:09

[lgm]: meh, i tried, you can't, make everyone happy etc. etc.
ManicMatt: that's for you to decide.
Mr. Flibble: yes, rapidshare is a tack in the ass in that way.
Nikolas: well, at least your post is almost sincere.
Pablo: okay, as long as myÃ,Â low self-esteem and confidence doesn't turn me into a mindless zombie.
Ashen: It wasn't supposed to be funny. Didn't you read the first part, it's a time-wasting pathetic piece of tripe.
BOYD1981:Ã,Â

MashPotato · Sun 19/03/2006 00:48:24

Thank you for calling me "Ace" ^_^

I understand your intended humour, however I think it came off as a bit sarcastic, rather than fun (partly due to the slooooow pace).Ã,Â Don't dwell on it, though--this was your first video, and now that you realize that yes, you CAN make one, you can concentrate on making the next one better.
Good luck with future episodes!

EDIT: fixed grammar

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Sun 19/03/2006 23:54:03

That kicked ass.

It was not funny.

It had no plot.

Animation was sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-par.

It generally sucked.

But it kicks more ass then if you genetically combined bhudda, jesus, ghandi, and a 30 pound monkey named ling ling.

Khris · Mon 20/03/2006 20:49:14

Was this, err, piece made with flash?
If so, why didn't you publish the 5k swf instead of a 1 Meg wmv?

I had to laugh really hard when the one blob and the other blob - oh wait, not true, the funniest thing yet was BOYD1981's comment.

BOYD 1981's comment? Oh, you mean that "you're hopeless and you'll never amount to anything" kind of post? the post that made me want to bash his brains in with some form of birdcage? The over-obsessed, selfish post? The one with no help or advice whatsoever? That one?

Khris · Tue 21/03/2006 07:38:01

There's only one, afaik.
So, was it an swf? And do you really wanna tell me you're surprised of the respones after posting stuff like that?

PsychicHeart · Tue 21/03/2006 07:39:01

No it was made with Windows Movie Maker. As stated in the beginning of the thread.

PsychicHeart · Tue 21/03/2006 08:48:10

sorry to double-post but it needs to be said. Everyone hates me in this forum.
I came to this forum a year and two days ago, full of excitement over how fun developing my own games would be. So i signed up to the forums, after reading as much as possible of the AGS Manual, full of beans and ready to join this new community. Over that time, for one reason or another, all but a few of you have, in all honesty, grown to hate me.
I don't know why, but for some reason my statements and views have angered you to a state where anything i post is bad,n00bish stuff, barely worth reading. You people said it yourself, i've changed from my noob ways, yet you still treat me badly and as the butt of everyone's moron jokes. For shame.
