My video!
My precious video, which I spent so much damn time on, got a score of 1.5/5 on Newgrounds! That's outrageous! I know my thing wasn't amazing and wasn't gonna get front page or anything like that, but it's WAY better than lots of stuff that got scores of 3's or higher. take this, for example. This video, which has a score of 3.4, is NOT ENTERTAINING. There isn't one original or new joke, no good animation, no good sound, no creativity, and no good drawings. Whoever made it obviously has no ability to actively entertain (this is probably the case for most people, though, so it's not really something to be ashamed of). Despite that, people were drawn to this pile of shit and compelled to hoist it above other, better videos. Mine is maybe a one hundredth of the length of this video, but I'll bet you anything I worked harder on mine and that mine could entertain more people. The reviews about my video mostly comment on how short it is and say I need to improve that, but I disagree with their evident belief that short animations are automatically bad.
Look at this animation (I don't know who made it– if you know their name or website, please tell me). It's good. It's REALLY good. it's funny, well done, and addictive as hell. I could sit around watching this animation loop over and over all day. I was trying to go for a feeling like this. I don't know, maybe the reviewers were just giving animations a quick glance, and didn't really take the time to seriously analyze stuff. I guess I should have been braced for that. Bah. Maybe the people voting wont suck so much next time I submit something.
EDIT: Know what? That's not fair of me. My tiny practice thing might have some good qualities, but I really don't have the right to complain. I left out loads of very, very easy things like a play button that would have made the video better. Plus, if I'd only about doubled the length of the animation, I bet if would've seemed 10 times better overall.
Aside from that, frankly, neither my video nor the first video I linked to really deserve any praise at all. Sorry for being such a dick about this. I'm a hypocrite.
