By the way, 3.6 actually isn't near 4 if you're talking about voting scores. It takes a whole lot of votes to get from a score 3.6 to 4.0 after a movie has passed judgment.
I would consider 'near 4' to be more in the 3.8 or 3.9 range.

if you round 3.6 it dosent go to 3 it goes to 4, its basic math.
u are posibly the biggest hhypocrite EVER
how so?
i hate to say but that parody was awesome, it deserves its score...
Look, he's got a bloody point, people. Now, I'm not going to bad-mouth the fact that it's a parody, because there are some damn good parodies out there. (Shaun of the Dead is a good example. At least in my opinion.) But the fact is that people don't take enough of a risk to make something good, so they parody something and it turns out half-baked overall, but gets good reviews.
And, if I may make a comparison some of you may recognize, this is just like the Youtube Poops: Relying on two main source materials and a bunch of randomness thrown in there. Sure some are good (CrazyCat13), but others are just plain stupid.
There you have it. Go ahead and insult me on my opinion; I'm sure someone will have a problem with it.

it was pretty funny.. :3
Look at it this way. Its a wave of immaturity, inbetween 3-4 years will be a certain large group of people that will think in somewhat of the same manner. That wave was slowly diminishing since now that wave is older and now have jobs and less time to be on the internet. Another wave, being the obvious easily entertained is now within the age range that they have TONS of spare time to putz among the internet and do as they please. If you've noticed that a while back HIGH quality flashes were all over the top 10 easily with maybe one or two quick parody flashes in between. I don't know if any of this made sense, but it did to me :D
btw, Go Canada!
man that was a pretty shit parady... but is still a master piece ompared to some... but i kinda get what u mean, but still, idc if its original or not as long as its entertaining... and u should feel the same
i actualy agree that wasn't funny at all, i liked MGA but that sucked.
dude you tried making an awesome cartoon, except it had absolutely no story. you fat hypocrite. the reason i made grand theft awesome was because my last 2 award winning flashes, scotty & pete and disturbed johnny got no views. go drop some balls and make an origional cartoon, get a score over 4.2 and prove me wrong.
"I tried making an awsome cartoon "
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I have never treid to make an awsome cartoon in my life, you oviously have no clue what your talking about.
I can agree with you
I hate these movies, where only dumb people laugh at the jokes.
On these crappy , unfunny , so-called "Awesome" movies, the art looks like it was drawn by a 4 year old; yet the score is 4+
On other movies, where the art is good, and the person has been trying to do more than just make some low-IQ people laugh, it gets voted 2~3 , because the dumb people can't understand real humor
How could you lose faith in Newgrounds when it's not Newgrounds. It's the users. You're dumb.
I'm good with parodies, as long they make me laugh or are at least well done.
But now that really fastly done parodies are taking over newgrounds it really starts to feel like over used method indeed.
And if we look at the timeline before YouTube was released for internet usage, the voters wouldn't act like that and they would be more critic about things, I believe.
But because YouTube did take over the internet, the people who want to see the original versions of the flashes that are put there without any permission; the voting system got YouTube'd.
As I have noticed that most of the YouTube users give out 5's as long the videos contain something they like, like their favorite game character appearing for one or two seconds on the background.
And if the video instead bashes something that they like, they instantly vote 0 (or 1 because they have the 1 to 5 stars system there).
So, all "cheers" to YouTube users for causing this.
Also, your message would work better if you would have more than one trophy plus submissions with better scores, as most of the users here listen only to what some really popular users say and of course the Staff members.
No offence though.
Remember the flash has only been out for a little while. Right now its score is made up of clicks from users whose motto is "I only view the frontpage and I only vote 5 or 0".
I agree that the score should not be that high but after a while it will settle to its proper place.
Of course, after reading your post I went ahead and front paged Grand Theft Awesome, having learned nothing... But I -DID- at least replace Awesomeraptor with it!
<3
OH FUCK YOU TOM
its just this is getting old, all these awsome videogame parodys have the exact same crap over and over agian.
I cant belive people still find these funny.
I mean I admit I found them funny at one point, but now its just getting old .
EDIT:
the title of this post is kinda misleading , this isnt really as much about newgrounds itself as much as it is about the users of newgrounds.
I can see why you would frontpage something like that, seeing as how lots of people wacth it and that gets you tons of ad money.
however for the users of newgrounds, I just cant fathom how they like this shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over.
I guess im just going to have to work hard and make a shitload of great flash so people will actualy give a shit about my opinion .
I SWEAR AT TOM FULP I HATE POPULAR MOVIES EVERYTHING IS OVERRATED GIVE ME ATTENTION.
Yup.
oh just shut up faggot
3.6 rounding to 4 isn't the way 'basic math' works on Newgrounds. That's a bit like saying getting a 60 on a test rounds up to a 100 instead of a 0, but it's still a big difference.
Also, why can't you just voice act a movie by yourself? If you don't have a microphone, that doesn't mean you can't make a movie without any voice acting. Most movies on this site don't have voice acting, and they still get top scores. Seriously, make a movie in three hours. If it doesn't wildly succeed, we all shall see who we really should have no faith towards.
frankly youre an idiot for comparing rouding 3.6 to 4 and rounding 60 to 100.
they are nothign alike, 60 compared to 100 is ALMOST HALF, while 3.6 is SEVEN EIGTHS of 4.
it is not a huge difernnce buddy.
also, all awsome movies have voiceacting, they compeltly rely on voiceacting for there comedy. And theres nothign wrong with that, however there is something wrong with getting an automatic 4 whenever you submit a videogame parody.
Especialy when they been done a billion times before.
EDIT:
also, in less then a month , the movie has almost already surpassed http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/
view/396167 in veiws, and has a higher score.
you tell me whats overrated?
I tried very hard to make a series on newgrounds and I realized I was done making flash for this site when Tom Fulp himself said to me "Splash attack was awesome! You should do more of these".
So I packed up Unforgotten Realms. I love newgrounds but the portal simply isn't a place for anyone trying to be original unless you got wicked animating skills.
Yeah, and even with wicked animating skills, you still have people like egoraptor surpassing them in score and veiws.
Im not saying that his submissions are bad, however I dont think they deserve to be placed higher then something like bitey of brackenwood.
Now I didnt INTIALY have anything agianst him however, egoraptor has a shitload of talent and hes wasteing it on videoame parodys, He even once said he wasnt gonna do it anymore but sadly he didnt keep his promise.
I mean out of all his submissions he only has one thats original.
haha I just watched that GTA4 awesome video. To be fair, this weeks Unforgotten Realms was written the same week GTA4 came out so it may share a joke from that cartoon. WINK.
also, both you and tom comments 0_o
although, I value your opinion more then toms, (sorry fulp)
anyways, I would like to say I enjoy your series, and I hope you keep making them.
myself, i hope to make flash games (its the best way I can think of, of living off of flash) and then eventualy move on to making console games, there going to be 2d of course.
Oh don't give me wrong I love Newgrounds and really like Egoraptors cartoons. I can understand him both wanting to get away from it but then wanting to go right back to it. I just feel bad that his fame now has to deal with the Madness effect of where everyone wants to copy and parody the style over and over.

What do you mean, "send me the audio?" You can't find or make your own? lol
At least Oney-Sephiroth knows how to do that.
