...there are a few typos. I'm stickler for typos, so this particularly bothered me. Also, the "I Silence Pndt" item at the shop has a glitched percentage value (it goes off the screen with decimals :\). I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to fix with a patch or two, though.
Aside from that, great game! I really dig the class progression system, and how it's different for each character. It can be a little frustrating when you can't get enough skill points to get a certain ability, but I guess that's just being nit-picky. Keep it up!
I've seen your videos, and they are, as a whole, one of the most thought-provoking series ever released here on Newgrounds. Not to mention that it's based in reality; which is another relative rarity on this site.
However, I have noticed that you tend to generalize human actions and behavior in order to support your philosophical arguments. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; in fact, most people do it without even realizing it (I just did it there, for instance). In this particular video, however, you make a rather unfortunate (and incorrect) generalization that I believe damages your credibility: everything that happens to us is our own fault. This is a good philosophy in its own right, but it is not an absolute one; a man who is dying because of a genetic predisposition to brain cancer will not be able to save himself no matter what he does.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I enjoy your work, I also think you should at least acknowledge that there are exceptions to your philosophical arguments, no matter how rare they may seem to you from your personal perspective.
I'll admit, I nearly shed a tear for for this video. The only thing preventing me from doing so was that it was a psa. I don't really like psa's; they just don't feel "real" enough to me. That said, I do think this is a very good video.
Seriously, you couldn't have done it any better. It had just the right mix of humor and serious storyline keep it interesting all the way through. You also really nailed the madness "vibe," which can't be said for most people other than Krinkels himself.
In terms of game play, I found it extremely fun. I especially like how equipment affects your squads appearance; it makes them feel more "personalized." Perhaps you could include a way to change the classes of individual squad members, or make it a random mix of classes at the start. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend changing a thing.
I was most intrigued by this profound display of rather explicit content. At first I was revolted, but I quickly noticed the smashing animation quality and I buggered up enough courage to watch the rest of it. I'm quite glad that I did.
Jolly good show, old bean! A fine display of daring-do, if I do say so myself.
...and I totally didn't love it the third time. What you gonna do about it? Nothing, that's what.
Seriously though, it was pretty good for a collab. I'm just not that into super-long collabs like this, which is why I didn't give it a perfect score. There were a lot of great sketches in there, but there were also a lot of not-so-great ones too. Par for the course, I guess :)
Egoraptor, I've come to expect a certain level of quality out of your Awesome series; random, but clever humor coupled with high quality VAing and great animations. While this one felt like an Awesome video, it simply didn't measure up to the old ones.

You have a gift, sir. Use it wisely.

I watched it three times...

After all this time...
...this is still one of my favorite videos on newgrounds. Congratulations for such an enduring classic! (And also ball-kicking humor).

Thoroughly, thoroughly disappoint.
