My rant on the subject

I am exactly like the kid in the transformer video. Why should i feel bad about whats happening to people in conflict zones? Why should events so far away directly affect my quality of life? Why should i waste time trying to help even though i hardly have any capital or political influence in my own country, let alone across the border? Is it because else Megatron will blow up my house and family? Is that the only reason you can come up with?
Of course it is terrible whats happening over there and i am ever grateful that i don't have to live among it. But i am also realistic about how much i can do to stop the murder and rape in some far away war torn country: JACK SHIT!
Sure there are tons of ads about humanitarian aid and military intervention, they make you believe that youre helping soo much by just pouring money into their bank accounts. The truth is that if they ever by some miracle manage to solve the problems, the people that dedicated their lives and careers to helping will lose their purpose and their jobs. Their trick is to help, but not help too much, keep the fire burning, keep the fire visible through media! while tricking as many donators as possible into believing that they can extinguish it.

Entertaining animation however :)

Chakra-X responds:

Thanks for the review!

As you mentioned, I made that part for people with similar views at yours. Actually, you recognized that it's terrible. The message of the Transformers one was not to show apathy to genocide just because it's not happening to/near you. If enough people were pissed off about Darfur, and urged the President/other countries to assess the situation, something might be done.

Bush was easily allowed to go into the Middle East because of 9/11, and practically the entire country was behind him. Obviously, it is unfair and just outright ridiculous to expect the country, or anybody, to be mores pissed off at the Darfur genocide than 9/11. But whether it is just spreading awareness or donating, or just showing an understanding of conflict, it's better than being apathetic.

The point of Megatron destroying the house (and family haha) was to say "Megatron just killed this boy's house. It doesn't affect him, so why does it matter? Why does anything matter if it doesn't affect you". I compared the people who just don't care to Megatron, basically haha. The mindset of "if it doesn't affect you, why care at all" just doesn't seem healthy to human development in my opinion.

Looking forward to it

I don't mind waiting another year for this to come out if it will be as good as Castle 3. The plot seems to be a different kind this time than in previous installments. Less charging in and taking a book and more getting owned by the zombies/demons i like that! This seems to be more survival oriented and i'm curious how you will make it turn out.

I wish you lots of fun making the remainder of this installment.

Get-lost responds:

Thanks alot. It sure is fun and challenging.

Congrats on the big one!

I have been waiting for its release since ive seen the trailer a year ago and it was well worth it. The great action, voice acting and cinematic style even made me forget that i was watching a stick movie. The whole bridge scene is my favourite part, its amazing! And the general kicks serious ass. He helps his fellow men and pops the best one-liners while he's at it :)

I wanted to let you know that i got inspired by this piece and i started working on a new CI right after you released part A on NG.
Have fun making your next flash,

-McFretN

Get-lost responds:

The General also shot Etrius ;) It's great to hear I inspire people. Thanks alot

Hilarious!

Front page material. This is true comedy

Next-Level responds:

hey thanks!!!:D

Hope I`ll get to frontpage some day :P
Some day far away ;)

Cheers!

Ah Yeah! Stickslayer is back

Some key elements in stickslayer movies that i always love are:
-Battles of epic propotions
-Huge explosion
-lots of sticks dying in many different ways
-and really poor jokes in the one liners (which is true to the stickslayers character)
And this episode is full of them! amazing work

-A Stickslayer fan ;)

BenSpurgin responds:

McFretn buddy!!! All those things are the reason I'm YOUR fan!! Cept for maybe #3. Great minds think alike, I guess, and so do ours!!

Nice concept

But i think you are trying to tell the story too serious. I hope you loosen it up and add more humour in your next one. Maybe add more deadly evolutions like "ROFLMAO" or "LOLOLOL!!11ONE" just a thought :) I like the stickdeath style you put into it. And without the voices, i wouldve probably hated it

Sluf responds:

Well, then i will have to disapoint you, we thought that this should be a bit like stickdeath AND old criminal movies, we are gonna add more humor thou, just in the original style.

hehe

That was ugly. but entertaining to me.
Make another one :P

TESM responds:

ha ha... after all this time i thought you were dead! oh well, can't win em all i guess :(
this was my first movie i mades with that free trial soo long ago, but it's quite an honor to finally hear from you... tis been too long. i personally don't know itf i'll make more. i figured at the time that A) I wasn't good enough to work off of something that was far superior (at the time), but i'm better now, and yea, i can admit it.. this is a piece of shit... horrible, but it has enough effort that i don't hate it or damn it to hell...but, long story short, i doubt another one will be made. i though the whole thing you've been doing is gone.
You were a fantastic inspiration for me in my younger, stupider years... but as for this genre... i think it's all done and gone now.

thanks.

Outstanding!

Another great piece of art from Mr Ortiz. Nice to see that youre still kicking butt on NG. This is definately a must watch... A well deserved 10!

MindChamber responds:

WHoa!! McFretN!!

Where ya been??

Nice to here from you man! Thanks for the props.. Still waiting for more stuff from you!!.

Haha congrats

You actually made an entertaining movie out of this horrible concept.
You could have done without the flashes though... Im not diseased, but they are infact annoying to look at.

darkiceweb responds:

thank you, honoured that Its aproved by....not really just glad that you think so... but can I ask why you hate Sticks and DBZ so much because if dun corectly you can pull of somthing like Killing Spree 6 ITS GONNA BE AWSOME (WELL DUN SAMUS)....

dude email me at DarkIceEmail@AOL.com

not made just curious...Cos if Im to please you guys need to know who Im pleaseing...

Best graphics and animation i have seen in Flash!

Too bad that it isnt something new.
What happened to the original? the old SWGR movie on atomfilms is different than the one that was once in the portal.

pyropymp responds:

Yes it is slightly different... I changed some of the effects on it. If you go to funnyjunk.com or albinoblacksheep.com or whatever other sites that host the original one... it would be the very old one with the allergictolife.com loading screen (my old site)
