[Lithica: Succubus Conquered]

Goddamn, talk about a magnum opus!

It's plenty good as a first time watcher, being so intricate and still funny, but so awesome to watch as a long time fan. Both the humor of a Speedoru video put alongside the NSFW loops you'd see all the time.

I figured the closest we'd get to a funny sexy video was the SEX education vid, but nah this is a wonderful culmination of talents! I remember hearing somewhere that this took years and years to work through, but I think it's damn worth the trouble.

QUALITY stuff! Makes a lot of industry-standard hentai look cheap.

[Newgrounds Redux: Metal Gear Awesome 3]

Something that tends to bog down parodies like this is Newgrounders obsession with themselves. Like I dunno what Alien Hominid even is and never was really into the tank man series, but what I do know is METAL GEAR SOLID and this is the furthest thing from a parody of that!

It's much much shorter than any of the other Metal Gear Awesome shorts (including Guns of Awesome by Cow Jedi) with really no other jokes beside the recurring Jesus joke and about four - five Newgrounds references that I sorta kinda remember.

I was hoping for some actual Metal Gear jokes, like fighting the helicopter, the invisible enemy in the elevator, actually seeing Metal Gear I dunno! How about bringing in Otacon again, instead of the dudes from Madness? Am I meant to look at the dudes from Madness and think "those are the dudes from Madness. Five stars." It's not like I'm expecting high art. At the end of the day, it's just goofy fun right? But ain't nothing funny about references, I'm sorry. That's some Star Wars shit, man.

To be fair, this is five years old, and everybody involved in this project has gone on to make way better stuff. Worthikid is such a cool dude and their series Big Top is a delight! Nearly every cartoon Phantom Arcade made after this was a banger on some level, and I love when he collaborates. Clearly this was just a labor of love toward the Awesome series and this site, and that's fuggin' cool, but I can't help being disappointed. MGSA was always gonna be a disappointment, but this feels like such low effort.

I see a comment down below asking for another parody of Metal Gear Solid 2, and honestly I wish there were more parodies of the MGS series. It's a funny franchise and has a lot of room for goofs and gaffs! Who knows?? Only time will tell. But if it's gonna happen, it's gotta be an actual parody.

[OUTSIDER: A Pokémon Horror]

From the concept to execution, this felt like a very 2010 video. It's always nice seeing Harry post again, but this edge-lore horror never did it for me, especially with Pokemon.

For what it's worth tho, it was very well directed, which should come as no surprise. The little touch of Pokemon character's staying in their own style, while the Outsider looks much different. All the music is on point and punctuates each scene without being over-bearing. And despite the edgy comedy, it's nice seeing all these og Pokemon characters rendered in Harry's style.

Pokemon is hard to parody, but this felt like treading all the same ground.
- Random encounters when spotted
- Video Game Characters are awkward
- Body horror
- "Pokemon is kinda messed up when you think about it"
- "Video games could never work in reeeeal life"
- Gory hospital scene with Nurse Joy

If you're really into this style, then this is every Pokemon parody of the early Newgrounds era mixed into one, so take that for what it is.
