Comment: A hilarious cinematic, showcasing noobs/pros/ragers/etc. on battle.net and in-game.
Nothing ground breaking, but still fairly funny.

So, here is my result about this cinematic.

4/10, ok

Good sides:
- The music was good, in some parts
- The end battle was also good, and the music fit with it. It also has nice made spells and you have made it well.

Bad sides:
- Text went too fast
- I didn't see any funny in between gosu and noob players, or the other guys
- I didn't laugh at all during this cinematic
- The terrain was flat with couple of flowers
- Too common. You can see this every day you play in battle.net, why need to see separately in cinematic?

Please guys, don't think I'm negative guy, but I really didn't like the cinematic "so much" and everyone has own opinions.

the terrain is flat on purpose (its just the way most escape maps _are_).
some parts of the text are not supposed to be fully readable in the given time (i know this sounds weird but thats the way it is :p). for example, roleplayers often drift into lots of details. this sometimes annoys me (and the demon as well :p)

so you didnt laugh, thats ok :p everyone has a different taste of humour i guess, i'm happy enough that most ppl liked it :)

anyway, thanks for the feedback, i'll consider those 'bad sides' in case i make another cinematic.

I can't understand why the rating of this map is 4.06.

This cinematic is so damn funny..and near everybody, who wrote a comment on this map, like this cinematic ....
I can't really understand this.

But keep up your good work :D
You should really make a second pisstake cinematic ^^?

originally, it was rated 9+. then over night it received around 70 votings pushing it down to 2-3. i guess someone is jealous :p but i dont give a shit, the comments speak for themsleves :)
i had a dota pisstake in mind, but atm theres no way it'll become reality. just too much work on other projects. but maybe, one day...

thanks to blizzards patch the map didnt work anymore (wasnt displayed in game list).
the solution is simple: either download the current version or simply change the filename of the old one (the old file name was too long so wc3 ignored the map).

it was ment to be played in singleplayer but the 1.24 patch ruined it anyway...

it is now fixed and the filesize limit has been increased from 4 mb to 8 mb, so i just uploaded a battle.net version which can be watched by multiple people at once.

HAH! Lol! The Noob ftw!
Oh and dota player was fun too lol. Best part for me was the pro at riddles.
I wish final battle was longer but hey, i know it wasn't the point.

EDIT: +1 kallimachos about the dota part.

EDIT2: also, the giant "O...[censoring spoiler here]" 3-liner compound text from the pro was a nice touch.

Best part for me is...

1)The Noob: No kick
The Pro: -kick purple

Shows up a troll and kick, LoL!!!

2) Gate Collapsed

3) Fighting with the Boss

Nice Battle! Cool! Rocks!

4) The Roleplayer

He demand a spell from a warrior

5) The Most funny Characther | Laosh'Ra : You can pass now.
*********************** | ...... after a bunch of words, and gates collapse ......
The Brave THE NOOB!!! | The Noob : Soz my mom came in said I need to sleep now.

Quality wise this map is very low, but obviously this was not the intention of your cinematic, so therefor I will leave it out of my comment, and thus not give you a very constructive comment.

I like the way you reflected battle net through a cinematic, very creative to say to least.
You content buildup at the start might be a little bit boring, and some paticular lines, are being removed a bit too fast, perhaps you can have a look at that.
It would be nice to have some sort of music (atleast I couldn't hear any(try to use sounds as music, not music itself)) to this cinematic, cause I did not hear any, eventho the jokes where good and funny, it becomes a bit empty to watch without some sort of noise.

You might want to fine tune the final battle abit, I see you made quite the triggering compilation, and the effects where quite ok, but try to not overdo it too badly with the special effects.

Nontheless Great effort a creative idea, therefor, your cinematic will get a 4/5

It's like, okay. Humor is alright, but not really all that much more entertaining than the real thing. Actually, the real thing is more entertaining due to the knowledge that it's real. Those 'battle.net cliches' that this thing makes a joke out of are fact.

The cinematic was also made somewhat lazily, with people walking through the death objects and whatnot.
