ForgottenDawn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG's 20th Anni. Tribute]

I just love what you've been able to come up with, really nice tribute video!
As for the music, man, anytime whenever you feel like, you're welcome to use any of my tracks. It's an honor to be a part of this ;)

Looking forward to this year's contest as well, that'd be fun.

[Skin : A Pixel Nightmare]

It's definitely a funny animation I could view as a spoof of horror video game and creepypasta clichés, specifically the "haunted cartridges" category, much requested and much abused at the same time. I liked how it's smooth enough to give the illusion somebody is actually playing a game rather than a movie, with the hilarious HUD and broken graphics complementing the already immersive 8-bit nightmare. The audio seems quite loyal to the retro environment it's fit in, with the occasional sound effects being somewhat a bit too loud compared to the mix, be it for shock tactics or simply an attempt at creating a more lo-fi atmosphere. I'm giving half a star less because I would have loved a more focused plot and not simply a spree of surreal randomness with the only premise being the alleged "ghost" possessing the game and breaking havoc in the protagonist's life. It doesn't detract from the experience however, as in fact I think it succeeds in its intent pretty well, and finally happy Halloween to you as well.

Thank you cery much :) i used the loose plot to see if people would fill in the blanks themselfs. Glad you liked it

[Xbox Juan]

Simply the truth. Nice, smooth animation and the jokes are clever.

They should have named it "Xbox TV", maybe I would have expected a different thing than "Television. Sports. Call of Duty". Waste of my time. Surely we're just at the start of this new generation of consoles, many things can happen in the meantime and maturity comes usually at around 3 or 4 years after the launch... But this is just ridiculous. No indie support, no free sharing, internet is required even just for changing your dashboard looks, no backwards compatibility, and specs are roughly the same as the PS4.
Nope. Not investing in a toaster. This can only mean that the 360 will have an even elongated lifetime while the Microsoft fans wait for a real console.
