Yellow!! My name is El Texinator (seh, seh!), and I am a recent addition to Newgrounds. I have been a big fan of the site for quite some time, though our e-mail accounts have been generally screwed for awhile, and therefore it took me some time to jack in

Office Chimp

"A Newgrounds Classic"

submission: Office Chimp
date: November 24, 2009

Cheap productions, hilarious when it wants to be, with lots of familiar faces... doth I smelleth awesomeness? Unfortunately, I'm afraid that your game is an acquired taste: the "relationships" with the anime characters, the only point for repeat plays, will only appeal to, naturally, fans of the respective animes. The jokes only Intarnets users will understand. It becomes outstandingly difficult to pass on to CEO. I managed to pass most of the other levels, but got stuck there. I could only pass it with the help of two of your cheats (first daDDY and then kissmequick).

In the end, however, it is a decent-enough game, and it nets you 8 stars and 4 Picos.

Well,
ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, MA BREDREN

Hex Empire

"Magnificent, full of possibilities"

submission: Hex Empire
date: June 4, 2009

You, my good man, are a strategy-game god in the making. Your gameplay is impeccably engrossing, letting the player develop his/her own strategy and tactics. My favorite is the "Pythagorean" pincer, where I fight two simultaneous fronts... gets the computer every time. The AI is a good challenge, though it's easy to outmaneuver or outwit, perfect for both starters and masters alike.

I find your attention to details beautiful and fun. I noticed that whenenver a battle took place, the area around it seemed to die/become war-torn, with gravestones and green-to-brown ground. Believe me, my friend/anyone playing the game, that makes all the difference in war: EVERYONE becomes affected.

One thing I think the game would need is a compelling story, or anything that takes the customization of the gameplay and perhaps make it aesthetic: naming your capital, your faction, yourself, giving your nation/people a story, etc. Also, campaign modes would be perfect, especially if you model it on real-life locations. And also, engrossing the player more into the battles would be great (if you know Advanced Wars, something along those lines).

The Real Legend 3

"Funniest of the Three!"

submission: The Real Legend 3
date: April 30, 2009

While the concept is not very new, you manage to breathe new life into it with all of the great gags and the really frickin' awesome timing behind 'em. Also... It's amazing you actually made Navi so effin' hot! I mean, how did it go from "annoying blue bug-thing" to "holy s***, there's something wrong with my pants!"? And Link is actually so much more likeable now that he's some loser... just like the people who control him! Nah, joking, joking...

But... one question... why are the Gorons MEXICAN?

Metal Gear Awesome 2

"Total Pwnage!!!!!!!!!"

date: April 30, 2009

Seriously, Ego, man, you're either oblivious or just a fucking genius, the way you approach all these videos. Sure, everyone's made all these jokes before and they've talked about it and it's not really that original, blah, blah, blah, but it takes a genius (or an idiot) to actually make it all funny.

The timing is impeccable, the jokes familiar even to the video game n00b, and your animation pretty good for a medium that carries such a bad name. I mean, seriously, Flash has gotta be the crappiest form of software and here we have people making it into something absolutely beautiful.

One love, ma bredren,
El Texinator

The Great Siege

"Very interesting, but lacking a cohesive story"

submission: The Great Siege
date: April 30, 2009

A fantastic defensive strategy game. Can't really complain about the catapult and the resource gathering and the army managing. However, I'd like to point out something that would make it a perfect game: a more detailed story.

I feel like the whole thing is lacking congruence. Sure, you have the attacks, the evil Sauron-esque villain, etc., etc.,, but the people the player controls feel too much like cannon fodder. They have no culture, no mannerisms, and the "religion" is not very well explained.

But believe me, besides the story, the game was absolutely solid.

Truly,
El Texinator

Author's Response:

I am drafting a better storyline for the sequel of the game. Back then I didn't intend this game to be a RPG from start, so I didn't consider too much about story but rather spent much time on balance and strategy.

Saturday Morning Watchmen

"God, I hate that twinge in my stomach!"

date: March 16, 2009

It's what good humor does: it makes you laugh, but it also hurts, really, really bad. I used to be a big fan of Saturday morning cartoons, especially Pokemon. But, looking at this parody, you show people the total contrast they wereto one of the dirtiest and not-for-kids anti-superhero tale; it makes you realize how washed down and cheap they really were. Thank you, Mr. Partridge, for an excellent cartoon!

Warfare: 1917

"Simply Amazing"

submission: Warfare: 1917
date: December 8, 2008

Con Artists people, you outdo yourselves! This game is one of the most polished and interestingly crafted I've yet seen! A big deviation, too. It's cool you collabed with Armor Games; you two make a great combination. The gameplay was very solid along with the sounds. Although, even though the engine is perfect for WWI, I don't see how it can work for more modern conflicts.

Guess you guys'll have to work out any kinks.
