GO!GO!7188 (go go nana ichi hachi hachi), also known as GO!GO! 7188 and simply Gogo, is a Japanese rock band with a strong surf influence. The band was formed in June of 1998 by Yumi Nakashima (nicknamed Yuu) and Akiko Hamada (nicknamed Akko), both alumnae of the same year at Shoyo High School in Kagoshima, Kyûshû. The band's drummer, Turkey, joined in 1999 and they debuted on Breast/milia, a division of Capitol Records (Toshiba-EMI) in 2000. The meaning of the band's name is known only to its members.

Simply amazing

This is one of my favorite flashes... it had good graphics, good humor, decent sound, some good hidden surprises, and most importantly... it had a point. That point being, in case you missed it, is that originality on newgrounds is doomed to unpopularity. And there were a few other points aimed at certain flash authors who basically steal (images, sound, jokes, general creativity) to gain general popularity, hence the instructional video "how to make a good flash movie with literally no effort." Sure, you may spend time to make the movie - ripping your sprite sheets or roughly tracing a stolen jpeg, but then there is no creative input whatsoever, and that is what is hurting the newgrounds community. It hurts to see a sprite movie that scores over 3. Then I read the reviews of these flashes and it seems like it really could be applied to many of the higher-scoring movies on this site such as "omg i luv it, i like how you had/showed <insert video game character here>." That almost says to me... what's the point of effort if no one cares about originality? Triteness seems like a good substitute. Plus, it's more efficient. If I want I high-scoring flash, it seems like all I need to do is poorly tween traced characters from something currently popular, and you seemed to hit this flaw of the newgrounds community right on the nose (or wherever the hell you are supposed to hit flaws).

Reading through the reviews for this particular submission I find lots of irony and stupidity. People that are incapable of forming a coherent thought form this category of stupid reviews, who are too impatient to figure out what's going on or don't even bother watching the whole movie before reviewing. The category of ironic reviews is definitely more humorous, people leaving reviews (it's questionable whether they're intentional!) along the lines of "i like this movie because you included <favorite game character>." It's almost sickening to a point to see how many people who left reviews had no idea what the fuck was going on in this movie. I previously thought (because of reasons like this) that this community is beyond hope. However, after watching your flash, I was convinced otherwise. People who take the time to create an actual plot can still be successful (although, you did use video game characters - but that was to prove a point).

Rtil, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to watching more of your stuff.

Oh and I only found 2 of the easter eggs.

I just made a flash of that

I'm just surprised no one else noticed that it was from "Mope" by the Bloodhound Gang. I had made a clip on this (as part of a collection of clips because something like this wouldn't deserve to be submitted by itself, in my opinion - well at least with my level of flash skill), then someone pointed this flash out to me.

I was happy that you actually synched the movements with the sound, because I was too lazy to do that for the most part. Otherwise, it was a sprite flash... which I found out recently, are extremely easy to make. Overall, not bad.

It's weird watching a movie from someone else's perception and animation after using the same sound clip and interpreting it and making it my own way.
