Not bad

I wouldn't mind seeing more. The problem I had was why were they being chased. I didn't even know that the whiny mushrooms were diplomats until they killed them.

Not bad but...don't like it THAT much. Reminds me of something you could find in the Flash Tub on the Something Awful site. Good for a chuckle but somehow inferior in quality to the rest of the material you can find on this site.

If I'd want to wach these kinds of things, I'd go to newgrounds. But judging the content of the movie itself, i wasn't anything too new or interesting. Writing was mediocre, animation was decent, voice acting didn't do the job too well. I'm going with a no.

I have to say I do like it. Now granted out of context this clip makes little sense, but even without the backstory it's still pretty funny. I do enjoy these videos quite a lot and would love to see more of them. If for no other reason than the site lacks anything animated at the moment and I love the idea of filling that gap.

These guys get the okay by my standards.

A wacky flash animation? Something very new on this site! And it also helped that it was funny and entertaining. Good jokes and as many others have said, the animation can be improved but it doesn't really bother me. It's more important that the script is funny and that you can clearly show us what's going on and that you have fulfilled.

I personally think that even though it would be neat to add flash to TGWTG I don't think this one really makes it up to par with the already stellar content on this site. I would say pass on it.

written by Curiosity Inc , November 14, 2008
An animated segment that isn't a review. This is quite a welcome change of pace.

The writing and the jokes need a bit of work (a bit more exposition might be nice), but it was quick and refreshing and nicely put together.

I'd vote to keep "Press Start" on, if only to see how the series improves with time.

Hi all!
written by DarkMaze , November 14, 2008
Hey folks! I'm the director/producer of the show (as well as being a fan of TGWTG), and I noticed a number of folks have understandably asked about the series "What's the story?" Since it takes a handful episodes to really crystallize, I thought I'd give the short version up front:

In a world much like our own -- except with monsters, aliens, and way more ninjas -- war is beginning. An evil sorcerer named Count Vile has seized power, and its up to a ragtag bunch of resistance fighters (like Sam & Lin-Ku in this episode) to overthrow him. Episodes usually alternate between the heroes and Count Vile (and sometimes some of Vile's evil pals).

Incidentally, several episodes feature videogame voice actors like David Humphrey (Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2 & Sonic Heroes), Robert Belgrade (Alucard from Castlevania: SOTN), and John Turk (Sub-Zero from MK3 & MK Mythololgies).

I love Press Start. Its one of my favorite series on the internet.

I even bought the live action movie, which was HILARIOUS.

I think you'll need to show one of the later episodes though, as they definitely get MUCH better over time.

I definitely vote yes for keeping these guys smilies/smiley.gif

I really like the animation, but the humor is just missing. Then again it is the first episode so why judge so harsh? I say put more on the site so we can have a better judgment.

Potential
written by Raistlinhawke , November 14, 2008
The jokes were more of a chuckle than a laugh, and the voices, though diverse, seemed a bit amateur in their sound mixing and delivery. But, unlike Phelous, there is definite potential here, especially if their process is streamlined and the creator(s) spent a bit more time on a smoother animation process for a cleaner look.

This deserves another shot.

Being animated, I'm instantly reminded of Newgrounds.com - of course, then I'm also reminded of the other video-game inspired flash movies that I've seen on that site (i.e. The Real Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Bros. Z, etc,). I think the humor and character movements need work.

Sorry - Phelous wins this round in my book.

written by Animegirlzzzzzzz , November 15, 2008
These could be nice little one shots if you were to make the humor a bit more fresh and the episodes held a little more exposition.
I realize the first episode of web comics and flash shows tend to be the worst and I believe the rest of the series should be viewed before a firm opinion is to be planted but for now, conditional yes.

written by EdwinsGeneration , November 15, 2008
Sorry the animation LACKED. I know its a hassle animating bc i used to do flash (quit bc of the hassle lol) but if you're a "team" it shouldn't be too big of a deal. There was hardly any animation really! You already don't have to animate the main guys' mouths so why not move them characters around a bit more instead of keeping the story board feel which is what i received. Also after READING what the story is about I'm still not convinced. Entertaining and good efforts with the recycled jokes nonetheless! =] lol None of that was meant to insult either just constructive criticism!!

Goddamn, this is atrocious! There were no animation at all. Why make a video of a flash movie that could've been a webcomic for all I care? And it would've still sucked Tim Buckley-style.

The writing is really bad, too. No, "LOL IMMA GONNA DO SOMETHING TOTALLY RANDOM AND UN-REALISTIC XD" is not funny, at all.

Guys, if you're gonna pick a flash series to put up here, pick a decent one. And the only decent flash series right now is The Flash Tub.

some interesting facts....
written by Rota , November 17, 2008
hello, I am Rota(obviously), and to some of the more, how shall I say...misinformed people, I have some "funducational" facts about the PRESS START series.

1: it's on newgrounds. yes the entirety of the series to date is on newgrounds.com, and this series has not been updated in about a year, as far as I can remember.
2:this series is hilrious. it makes fun of some of the greatest series of games in all time(pitfall,metroid,MK,Castlevania,Mario bros., etc.) and makes the storyline engrossing as well, whilst having actual game voice actors often as the parody characters.
3:this is not the actual first episode. sorry to break it to you guys, but the true first episode, "beer comes a new challenger" only rests(currently) on newgrounds.
4(and most important): IT HAS A LIVE ACTION MOVIE!!!!!! yes the animation of the wonderful dark maze studios made a live action movie based off of the animated series. granted I haven't seen it, but I commend dark maze all the same.

There was a good cartoon hidden in there somewhere, but the execution was all wrong. The crux of the cartoon is the joke where the mushroom guys get thrown into the crocs' mouths. However, it's a very predictable joke. You can see it in many mediocre flashes and webcomics (especially the later). In order to make it worthwhile you need to mix it up. For instance, you could have had the mushrooms be much more annoying, slowly but surely driving the main guy up the wall (you needed more of this regardless of the punchline) Finally, he lets out a scream or other sign of great annoyance, and yanks up the nearest toad, saying something like "I've got a solution" The girl then says something to the effect of "what are you doing?" to which guy says "just picking this up" and picks up the croc spray. Obviously that's a nutshell, but I think it does a much nicer job of defying the audience's expectations (which is a huge part of comedy, if not the whole part).
