If this thing wraps and it's really as bad as it's being said it is, they might as well just release it with the front end being all the good submissions, and then the back end being the pathetically bad ones, with JohnnyUtah, Stamper, and whoever else giving some scathing verbal commentary. I really hope it doesn't have to come to that, but at least I would be entertained.

Would anyone care to check out my as-of-yet unfinished product, and critique it? I can't decide whether to add more like I planned or just end it as is, and I don't really want to post it for everyone to see. I'd rather get it into the collab before showing it to everyone.

PM me if you'd be willing.

Maybe make a part based on crappy voice acting/quality as main joke?

But the box is what makes MGS what it is.

What about the possibility of a colab of just box jokes. You can have 2 colabs, "The Box Colab" and the second can be "Fucking Box Sketch Not Included" :P

what's the topic in the forum here?

who what huh nuh? what are you talking about?

Sorry. :[
And by sorry I mean I'm working on something else already, so I imagine my original submission will be pushed aside anyways. :p

What's wrong with using a mouse? I know the tablets are alot better and blah blah, but i bet you can get the same effect with using a mouse.

I always draw with a mouse. I mean, it's kinda shitty, but at least it's passable... Mostly.

I would forcefully slam-rape my two entries, that's how goddam awesome they are.

FUCK!

Trust me. I wasn't a great idea.

Umm sir...or...miss er whatever the hell gender type you may claim to be, box jokes have been used alot here at NG for metal gear flashes, and they HAVE been funny for quite some time but the truth of the matter is that they are starting to wear down and die out.

So you have to understand that Flash artists have got to come up something a little more original than using the same box joke over and over and over and ETC. But i think maybe a few Bj's (lol i said BJs!) will be thrown in the collab for good measure....god i hope this thing turns out alright.

Let us hope so.

I would maybe date-rape my two.

I've never made a flash cartoon, and i'm not likely to start with this project.
That said, there is an idea I'd like to share.

This is Paint-edited pic gives the gist of it.
Feel free to use it as inspiration.

Even a cursory evaluation of the thread in question would have yielded the answer to your request. In this case, they are talking about the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid collaborative submission which, apparently, has run into trouble with people sending in multitudes of entries involving the same joke, which is not at all conducive to any form of quality whatsoever. For the sake of future notice, please read a thread before posting something along these lines again, and especially avoid posting the same question one minute afterwards.

Think the trouble is that too many Metal Gear parodies have been done so there's not really enough drive for it. Blamformers was so good because the Transformers movie was coming out and there was a lot of childhood memories that sort of... came out. Also, not everyone has played the games.

Just an idea, but what if after you are finished with the good version of the Metal Gear Collab you could put an easter egg or make a different flash all together showing the turds and blam-worthy of the other submissions sent to you, just a thought ^_^ FMD

Yeah, there's some good points all floating around out there about a bunch of different things. I mean sure, the box has been done to death in other animations and such, but some decent writing could possibly place a spin on it (I'm thinking A Couple Of Shorts Finale's 'stick in a trash can' part, if you haven't seen it, I recommend checking it out by the way as a side note). I understand why there aren't any box jokes allowed, but there's my two cents about that.

And ok, maybe a tablet is more efficent that a mouse to create graphics (random switching topics!) but you could make ado with the tools that Flash and neighboring programs give you. Of course, there's always the sketch and scan method (which is what I personally use) where you just take the sketch, colour it, split it apart into different library items, and go from there. Just (again) a by the way statement.

Also, you really don't need a mic to make a good animation and if you don't have one, realistically why would you put voice actors into your animation, assuming that someone will step to the call? I mean, how about a Metal Gear Music Video?

I will also reference Tummygas' view on 'just scrap it if it's really that bad' on page seven. I mean, I agree with him as if it's that bad and you do go through with it, people will just be disapointed with it.

Farthermore, I believe someone stated that it would be nice to have a survey for the next collab topic so more artists would join in and therefore, more good artists. However, if not enough decent submissions come in to create a full, good collab, why not just reintroduce this collab (or if this succeeds in the end), a new collab in the summer? I mean, so many flashers go to school as they are in the teenage group, you'd have so much more time to polish up your submissions in the summer compared to time being filled up by homework, school teams, etc. This combined with the survey for the collab topic would raise awareness, and dedication through the roof - you do better flashing a target you like!

And so, that is my huge rant about this collab based upon most recent comments. Take it or leave it NG, but at least I'm giving (hopefully) good ideas even though I cannot join said collab (I said this before, I want a nice, polished animation as I do not want to be one of those artists that spam the portal, no offense to you however, I'm sure much work went into your animations in that time-frame).

Is it really that hard to draw using a paint tool with a mouse?

You know what would be a great idea? You get snake to go inside a carboard box, and then the codec screen comes on with Cambell saying "Godammit, do you want Stamper to kill you?"

I'll pitch in as a voice actor. Contact me by MSN at beat_it_sucka@hotmail.

Have a script and voice tone you want ready though, I'm not too good with improv.

Oh lawd, wheres Egoraptor when you need him? SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

please

There's still plenty to parody in the franchise. A lot of people who have previously done MGS parodies are participating in this. The problem with this collaboration is that everybody sucks.

Blamformers was so good because the Transformers movie was coming out and there was a lot of childhood memories that sort of... came out. Also, not everyone has played the games.

This collaboration is releasing in anticipation for the conclusion to a major 20-year-old franchise. The only difference between it and Transformers is that the robots are better and it was consistently good through the 90s.

And also, to be fair, most people who participated in Blamformers weren't even old enough to watch it. You don't have to play the games to make fun of them.

I'll try to help out by submitting a piece, I'm just drawing a blank for an idea at the moment.

I really do love this place and I'd hate to see it suffer like this. I was originally thinking about passing on the collab because I had so many projects to do already. (Maybe some of the other artists have the same predicament?) But if you say that it's for the good of the community, its almost my duty to step up. I'll give this a shot. So far I've been able to make some of my best stuff while under a small time constraint, lets see if that holds true this time.
