Thanks for viewing my boring profile! I can be pretty damn harsh reviewing submissions, but we'll get on just fine as long as your cartoon doesn't use tweened stickmen, terribly animated sprites, or involve Hitler going around the world in 80 days.

Hey guys, this is just a quick update to comment on a few reviews I've had for the Steve series. As you can see, I've actually been very fortunate with the scores/comments I've had for the series, but there are a few reviews in particular that I wanted to address here. Here is an example:
"Nice Quality but stupid physic: When Steve cover behind wooden doors - that may be killed or doors will be fail"
Ignoring the spelling here, similar comments have actually been left for both Steve 2 and 3, with people complaining about things such as (I kid you not) the size of bullet holes, gun models, how strong wood is, and so on.
The reason this bothers me is because, after three episodes in which Steve has fought time-travelling Nazis, office zombies, and has had a flashback involving a giant mutant squid, I have to ask - is it not painfully obvious by now that the series is not grounded in reality? The villains are ridiculous, the blood/gun effects are pushed to their extremes, and everything is basically a comically exaggerated version of how it is in real life. Furthermore, why is it totally acceptable for Steve to successfully fight an entire gang of heavily-armed Colombian drug dealers by himself, but if one of the bullet holes is a little too big, that's a huge realism problem?
In Steve 4, Steve is going to kill someone with a baguette. A baguette. I can't wait to read comments like:
"Nice MOvie, but braed cannot go thru aman LOL unrelstic"
Anyway, take all of this with a pinch of salt, I only mean this in jest. Still, it does bother me when the best parts of cartoons - to go beyond realism, to stretch things out, to comically exaggerate character movement and to basically just push things to their extremes - are called-out as errors. Steve will continue to blow people's heads off using regular handguns, and if I want him too, he'll also start killing people using lunch-time snacks. I wouldn't have it any other way.
