Regarding Dot Dot Dot: Well, you're not the only one, but certainly one of the very few.

W-P-S's "Intelligent Critique" is specifically the style of reading I did NOT want to do. That was a review by a rambling, spastic, whiny teen, which sounded like it was voiced by, well... a rambling, spastic, whiny teen. Which, animation aside, isn't particularly special or difficult to do, as far as I'm concerned. His spotty enunciation also made many words difficult to understand. Just not a lot of mass appeal there.

I'm glad Mick and I were able to make so many people laugh, but in no way do we consider it one of the greatest things on Newgrounds. Nor did we set out for it to be. I think the "shock" factor is a big part of what made it resonate with so many people. I know I'm not the first to do it, but it's a rare thing online to find such nonsensical drivel performed in a style akin to a middle-aged Shakespearean actor. (Boomaga's Dramatic Readings of eBaum's World e-mails were a major influence of mine) There's also an added layer of irony to Dot Dot Dot, in the fact that the reviewer COMPLETELY missed the point of the blatantly satirical game he was reviewing.

Although the idea of boring vs entertaining is entirely subjective, there's a sizable number of people in the gaming, animation, and voiceover industries who would disagree with you on this one. I'm sorry it wasn't your cup of tea, but as least it did generate a lot of traffic for Newgrounds, which I feel is win-win for everyone.

Wow didn't know there was a review or kalabor106 and I. Thanks for doing it. I do need more practice and patients with the drawings. They are so ugly. Some day maybe I'll figure it out. Again thanks
