Oh...Nostalgia.

I remember when I first saw this when I was like 9, I cried at Mario's funeral. This is a pretty impressive flash, the use of Mario World sprites only makes it believable that this is the Mushroom Kingdom. The music, the way the camera will zoom in and out on things and it looks real. Especially considering this is a 2003 submission and most flashes were pretty mediocre around that time. All I can say is; DAMN...I'd do the same if I were Luigi.

Manly...

So...MANLY...that of course is a sarcastic comment. but anyway, pretty funny. it's nice to go back and watch old animations from my youth...that's right, i watched this as a kid...and i'm just fine now...*twitch*. it's the twisted, grindhouse, low production value animations that made newgrounds what it is today...before every week you'd see a high quality photoshopped image on the front page...before everyday there was a thousand new submissions. this is where it's at, newgrounds, sex, violence, grotesqueness, not too many frames of animation, all of the above. i digress. i hope right now there's a 6 year old playing the flash game where you dress up a dick...just like i was.

Nostalgia for flash game within another flash game

This brings me back to the original Madness Interactive Game and the Thing-Thing series. I had a ton of fun playing this. As much as I loved the survival sort of gameplay this game has, I would've preferred a straight forward level based sidescrolling shoot 'em up. But still, it's a fun game. I don't like the upgrade system only because I genuinely hate having to level up in games. But this one was pretty simple and doesn't really take anything from the game for me. My biggest complaint is the lag. I have a pretty alright PC, and runs alot of games at max frame rate. That is real video games, not flash. But the lag in this game was awful, it didn't really slow down too much, and slowdowns i can deal with as long as they're not major, but the controls would become over 10 seconds delayed. Considering this is a damned flash game that's pretty fucked. I also didn't really like the music choice here. I mean I loved every song, but it didn't really feel like Madness. I know, I know; this is Newgrounds, this is a Tom Fulp game, and this is Tom Fulp's kind of music, but this could've used some of the songs from the Madness series. The part where you fight Tricky could've used Tricky's theme. Hell, the Madness Interactive theme could've made an appearance, but I digress. Those are all nitpicks, except the lag, this really is a great game

hmm...

in every shot he has an upsidedown cock.

huh...

This is one of Cory Williams' first things on the web...It's damn funny, that's for sure.

WOOHOO!

(This is a copy/paste of another review I made for a submission identical to this one, but I guess was deleted for some reason. The submission, not the review)

This is the last place i'd expect to see AVGN. It's funny, now I spend all my time on Cinemassacre.com but when I was a kid I would spend my whole fucking day everyday on newgrounds...it's like my childhood online colliding with my teenaged...hood. This is what it's like when world's collide...anyway, This is beautifully detailed, shaded, drawn, photoshopped, painted, etcetera, whatever. Nice job capturing James' looks along with exclamating his signature nerd frown without making it look cartoonish. I'm bowing down and my balls are clapping. This is 100x better than the crap uploaded daily to deviantART. One small step for art, and one large step for nerdkind.

Noir

Nice, reminds me quite a bit of Max Payne.

When darkness fell, New York City became something else, any old Sinatra song notwithstanding. Bad things happened on the streets of that other city...Noir York City.

A revenge tale.

WOOHOO!
