Hey everyone, I made an animated short about the Two Guys from Andromeda, it's called "Free Wilco"

I tried to make it with the look and feel of Space Quest 3.

Check it out, let me know what you think :)

 

THIS. IS. AWESOME. Great job. :y: :y: :y:

 

Freaking hilarious.

That was an awesome video. I'm so putting that up on my Facebook page.

Outstanding!

This is awesome indeed. Just shared it on the "Vohaul Strikes Back"-pages on Facebook and Google+. Great job, man!

I hope Mark & Scott are taking notes, so they know what to do when we send them out on this mission.

 

That scene with the CEO was particularly awesome.

Great job! Really fantastic work. Kinda reminded me of the intro to Delphine's Flashback, if you've ever played that, although you really nailed the SQ3 style (and I love that you used original sprites, like the Guys walking animation, or the warp animation!). I'm adding this to the Two Guys From Andromeda Google+ page immediately.

That was spectacular! Very nice animation!

Thanks everyone, I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it!

Okay, hang on just a second. I'll reply to this thread as soon as I finish laughing.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! AH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!!

AAAAAAHHHHH HAAAAAAAHHH HAAAAAAAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

 

...*sniff* Hookay, I'm good.

 

"Freakin' hilarious" doesn't even begin to describe this. Gorgeous animation (I agree with Troels, I get a distinct "Another World/Flashback" vibe from this) with hilariously perfect comedic expressions where appropriate. Excellent re-use of SQ3 assets, both for comedy and to drive home the theme of the video.

 

Which, I'll honestly say, is what makes this *so* damned funny. It's basically Space Quest 3 inverted - here, it's the Two Guys rescuing *Roger* from the hands of an evil software development company. It's a brilliant idea and I'm downright embarassed that nobody around here came up with it before now - the parellels between the plot of SQ3 and the SQ trademark issues nowadays are obvious in hindsight. Man, we're getting lazy. <_<

 

I also watched the "Bear" shorts while I was at it. :lol:

 

 

Hmm...Mark and Scott don't seem to deal well with being shot at. Good thing Roger's used to it.

I don't think Astro Chicken is loaded with explosions, in the sense that he automatically detonates whenever he comes in contact with something ... but hey, artistic license. Just seeing Scott's face before he springs the feathery little weasel is priceless. :)

 

The animation of the ScumSoft guard getting gunned down is my personal favorite. Not because he gets gunned down, mind you, but the animation in that particular moment is just jaw-droppingly spectacular.

Beautiful. Makes me want to play Space Quest again.

Fantastic! Poor Astro Chicken :(

I regret not having watched this sooner. Spectacular!

 

It's basic, but it's right on que. Very witty, funny, and nostalgiac. I particularly appreciate the part at 2:08, when you have Scott spinning on the floor and Mark running in circles! I love it!! (Among other clever parts, like elmo opening fire and astro chicken wanting out.) :lol:

 

Great piece!

Outstanding! Well done.

That was well made and funny to boot. Very SpaceQuestey.

I watched this some months back on Newgrounds.com, wtf is activisions deal, they're not making any new games for Space Quest so why even hold the rights to it

That's part of what Activision does, buy up beloved intellectual property then run it into the ground. CEO Bobby Kotick has even gone on record saying that.

ugh I wanna kick his ass, and build a machine that will kick his ass

ugh I wanna kick his ass, and build a machine that will kick his ass

 

Where's a Vohaul the Catbot to send in when you need one.

nah Sarien Spider Droid

we should protest in front of Activision

You can make cartoon about SQ4 :)
