I create rhythm based games. Music should not just be a background to games, it should be PART of the game. That's where I come in ;P

but a copied idea. It's much like a mario game I once saw that was impossibly hard. If it was just more original maybe I'd enjoy it more...

Heh, There hasn't been a Flash version of it so I thought there should be one, plus I thought I changed it a fair bit for it too be more unique.

Haha I haven't seen such good lyp syncing with images since the days of jibnjab. GREAT stuff.
I was very entertained and it was fun as hell to watch.
Next time try to incorporate some more faces =)

A) There were only 5 small skits
B) You were more or less just following a fad, making this not very original
C) Only 2 of the skits have I not seen before in another Portal parody.
You were a little too late with your portal goodness (just by about 2 months). If you wanna get in on a fad, try to do it too late, or else it feels strange or unoriginal.
Anyway, to the positives though, nice animation, smooth, and well thought out. Only real problem here is that the character you always use was...well...used again?
Anyway good luck in ur future endeavors. (lol pun on "future")

Okay, in response to "A," yes, there were only 5 small skits, but like I wrote, this is a short, it's not meant to be long, I understand your view, but Jim and Pals Shorts are never meant to be long.
In response to "B," I understand this is not very original, and most of my cartoons ARE original, you must understand; for this one, I just needed something funny to work with, so I thought out some skits involving one of my favorite games, and this is what came of it.
In response to "C," yeah, well I didn't look through all the portal parodies, so I figured a few of these jokes would have been done before.
Okay, so to the rest of your review, I know I was late, but I hoped people would overlook that; I mean, it's not like I've been working on this for 2 months or anything, I just decided to do this now instead of 2 months ago is all.
I'm glad you thought the animation was smooth, I take a fair amount of time making sure it looks smooth, and about the character, that's my character, that's Jim; I'm Jimtopia. :)

Some parts were good, some were ok, and some were pretty horrendous (no offense but you could have filtered out a few people like the SMOKING KILLS PUN person). Anywho, I especially liked the parts submitted by MarcyVF, FlashKn1ght and Pyrowman.
Good job guys, hoping you'll get a daily =D

So much work must have been put into this. Some parts were definitly much better than others, a few should not have been in it at all, but otherwise the lyp sync was near perfect, it was entertaining, the songs changing was interesting and some parts were just outstanding (eg the last one and a few in teh middle).
Great job most of you! =)

NGers have such varied tastes, what can you expect.
Keep on trucking.
