Reviews for "PSN is Down?!"

Cute and funny

~~REVIEW~~
Haha ok this was funny as hell, so im giving you props for the humor of this very amusing, and as for your first notbad, but i know what you mean i play poxnora and been waiting for this game to come back online, but anyways great flash funny with the cheesy white screen and text, the {SOUNDs} were great and just added to the funnyness of it all, the animation was pretty good, it was a cute animation with some good effort, and the {VOICES} were not bad abit hard to understand at times but still amusing, only thing for that i would suggest some {SUBTITLES} but other then that it was pretty amusing and gave me a few chuckles especially the porn scene haha, anyways nice job once again, now all we can do is wait and see if soe comes back up soon,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This was a cute flash could use some subtitles, other then that it was pretty nifty

~~OVERALL~~
Based on the SOE game company going down for 1-2 weeks when hackers hacked into it, still funny though

~X~

Not too shabby

As others and you as well have said, the voice acting isn't really good. Especially on the news part, where I still don't know what the guy sez.

The part I DID understand was very good though, I liked the timing of the humor and how the pitch goes up when he gets upset and stuff.

Drawing wasn't really special (kinda like mine tbh :D), but it really fit the whole thing so I dont think that's a bad thing really.

Just please give it a listen before you upload the next, really looking forward to seeing more.

Lol, he said "Sh*t the fu*k". thanks for watchin.

Nice, nice.

For your first time, that's pretty decent. It ain't bad, and it definitely made me chuckle at more than a few parts. (Like the "You butt-fag. >:(", mostly 'cause I'm immature. XD)

To me as a viewer, there were a few issues though, mainly in the sound of it all. Certain things were louder and/or quieter than others, and certain sounds/voices contained clipping. (i.e., popped or "fizzled" distortion due to overdriven volume.) If I recall, a large majority of those issues could be solved (at least somewhat) in an audio editing program such as GoldWave or Audacity.

The only other issue I had was the quality. Is the microphone you were using any good? If so, then it really is such a horrible scene when potential voice acting is hindered by a sub-par microphone. Then again, I understand issues when it comes to obtaining one.

Still, like I said, for your first submission it wasn't at all bad; the animations weren't horrible, the jokes/comedy worked, and we could at least make out what you were saying. It can only get better from here, right?

Good work, man. ;D

Xaude responds:

The mic wasn't professional. But i did use audacity. Thanks for the tips.

Going Under FUCK!

That's why I always purchase a fall-back game that doesn't need network play.

Not everybody can be the next Egoraptor, and this is proof. It comes close in spirit, though. A cleaner microphone and doing multiple takes for the voice-overs would improve the sound quality a great deal. The animation and artistry is shoddy. The wall graffiti doesn't look right; next time, use the free transform tool to shape the wall exactly according to the perspective so that the graffiti distorts accordingly. This is one of those cartoons where perspective work would really lift up the visual quality.

And perhaps it is with a sense of irony that the transition sound effect is the "1-Up" fanfare from Super Mario Bros., a Nintendo product. You don't notice it at first, but there is that sense of company disloyalty that stems from frequent maintenance fiascoes. Then again, everyone will laugh along with the Tourettes sufferer who endures them. Look for the little things, people.

Xaude responds:

You make nice points there man. Thanks for the tips.

Eh...Not the Greatest

But still I agree with the points you made. Basically anything in this video that involves aesthetics could be improved upon, but I won't slam down too hard.

I do love how people are saying that now is the time to buy an Xbox 360 when in 2007 the $50 a year Xbox Live went down for 16 days, and people think that this means victory because a FREE service went down.

Xaude responds:

Thanks man.

For me, all services are great. Including PSN (ironic, isnt it?)
