That was excellent. You just got yourself a subscriber.
I saw that ending coming as soon as he looked at the plane.
Is it just me or does the Earth get destroyed at the end of all your videos? [video=youtube;7AnwyL2L7Vc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AnwyL2L7Vc[/video] [video=youtube;PoGcfTgGBYQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoGcfTgGBYQ[/video]
In the intro I couldn't work out what game this was even in, it looked too pretty to be on Source, very nicely done!

This wasn't SFM?

Very well done, funny. My only problem was the cars rising up as the moon came down, even if the moon got closer Earth's gravitational pull would keep anything from spontaniously lifting off.
I rather liked this. The humor was spot on, not to over the top, and not "randumb" as people tend to put it. It was well structured, and the end was just icing on a delicious cake. Perhaps you could make a sequel in which someone finds a physgun just lying about. In any case, I'll sub and keep an eye on you. You're on your way to the top with videos like these. Keep at it.

That was amazingly well done, loved all the detail you put into this, awesome!
Noticed the Sounds of Jupiter track at the space part. You did a nice use of it.
Do more of these please.
I don't get you guys, how is this any different from these randumb Gmod videos you all hate so much?
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;37346271]I don't get you guys, how is this any different from these randumb Gmod videos you all hate so much?[/QUOTE] It was well done, put together nicely and actually funny.
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;37346271]I don't get you guys, how is this any different from these randumb Gmod videos you all hate so much?[/QUOTE] Did you watch the video?
"..............................aaaaaAAAAAAAA[B]AAAAAAAAAAAAA[/B]" *crunch-shhhhhh* Fantastic work. took me a while to realise it wasn't SFM, too.
the sim city 3000 music made me feel nostalgic
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;37346271]I don't get you guys, how is this any different from these randumb Gmod videos you all hate so much?[/QUOTE] First, I think there's a common misconception regarding random humor. That is, it's just CA-RAAAAAZY STUFF HURR DURR with no rhyme, reason, or structure. While I suppose this could describe "randumb" humor, I think good random humor consists of a setup, and then a punchline involving subverting expectations that were built up during the setup, though I suppose that could almost be said about any kind of humor. Take the watermelon gag for example. When the character reaches into the cart, it builds up the viewer's expectations (IE they expect a racist joke). However, once the camera reveals he reached for the cereal instead, the expectation is subverted. In contrast, randumb gmod videos just use weird faces and chopped up voice clips with no setup or punchline. AKA THERE'S NO JOKES
I was expecting a Majora's Mask reference at the end.
excellent use of SC3K music

[QUOTE=dvondrake;37353511]Very cool. I'm assuming you were animating within GMod by some means of stop motion? Probably some of the best GMod animation I've ever seen. Awesome job.[/QUOTE] Seems more likely it was done with animation editors, like HAT and the other one that's not HAT.
[QUOTE=sirdownloadsalot;37353686]Seems more likely it was done with animation editors, like HAT and the other one that's not HAT.[/QUOTE] I mainly use HAT, Ragmorph, and good old-fashioned physgun movement. I couldn't do stop motion to save my life, I'm already OCD to the point where I take 5-20 minutes to do one pose.. Imagine how long a thousand frames would take me, because I sure don't want to think about it. xP

Basically with Source-related videos it's: *Work several months on a plot, and/or decent humor, with some subtlety and easter eggs, filming things with the atmosphere and setting in mind and trying to layer together scenes properly for a 5+ minute video* Average viewer response: "Lol i dun get it, i hav adhd-OH SHINY LETSPLAY VIDO." 2-10k views. *Spend 1 week or less using 2-frame stopmotion/throwing ragdolls around on gm_construct or a TF2 map, adding voice clips and Looney-Tunes SFX, pressing the "randomize" button on the faceposer for a 30-second video* Average viewer response: "LOLO SO FANNI HEVY MADE A POOP JOKE, FANNI SOUDN EFFEKTS LAWL VAGINEER!11!" 50k-2m views, may go viral. ..Sometimes I really hate YouTube.

Probably late to say this, but that was [B]absolutely fucking [I]brilliant.[/I][/B]
