    the thing Spoony describes about the paladin is actually one of the reasons why Raiden from MGS2 exists. Kojima picked up on that, and thought it'd sound wrong for Snake to ask about basic gameplay stuff after Shadow Moses, so he created a character for Snake to tutor.
    Also Spoony was and still is great. He shouldn't have to sacrifice his health just to keep the content wheel perpetually churning. I hope life is treating him ok.

      Kinda??
      He jumped off the deep-end headfirst all the while lamenting how sad he felt, ignoring all help and all reason until his gf dumped his worthless ass and now he just sits there in the dark, fermenting in a stew of self-loathing patheticness, blaming everyone for not helping him...
      All he had to do was make video's.
      And in the end he couldn't even do that.

      The thing you should keep in mind is that this all happened 2 and a half YEARS ago now. Spoony felt it was too arduous to travel from Arizona to Chicago to film the anniversary stuff when he had a site to maintain and revenue to get. At the time, Doug was finishing the Nostalgia Critic so with the new site direction, he felt it was time to split. The stuff with JO was unfortunately timed but had very little to do with the departure. The split was amicable, and completely Doug-uninvolved. Remember, Doug insists that he's NOT the business aspect of the site. He's just the lead talent. Michaud and Rob are the business end and even then, there was no personal severance in the relationship. If Spoony had been blacklisted from CA because hypothetically he did anything to Mike and Rob, the situation would've had a bigger blowup, because Lewis wouldn't have been able to do the review of the Star Wars comic the way he wanted and would've called them out on such pettiness

    Elephant in the Room, huh? Yeah, sure...
    Because interviewing a *FORMER* host at Channel Awesome who got literally got *KICKED OUT* due to some *UNKNOWN* issues and troubles with some of the female members of the site isn't "elephant-in-the-room-ish" enough ¬_¬;
    Spoony "never came back" to CA, even To Boldly Flee took a crack at that at the end. Sure, he came back for the recent BloodRayne review, but that's it. Something happened and it was *NEVER* revealed why Spoony left the Channel.
    Many say that Spoony made a sexist remark on Twitter or his blog or wherever about one of the female producers and then several others ganged up against him to defend her, leading to Spoony quitting the team because it grew out of control. Problem is... "that is what was told"... no official statement was made.
    Would it have bothered them this much to simply address the fact on why Spoony isn't part of Channel Awesome anymore? THERE's your Elephant in the Room, people.
    I don't hate Spoony, but just reveal the reason(s) of his departure already. They at least owe THAT explanation for Spoony's fans.

Not that it makes a big difference if it was pretty obvious he was in a bad way, but it might have altered the decisions of Lord Kat, and Lupa had they known.

      Doug looks at movies the same way I look at games. He goes for competence first and foremost, and he probably understands the nitty gritty of how a movie works far better then how I get games. I get what LAH tried to do, and it's commendable, but looking at it purely as a movie (like, boil it down to it's base elements and map it out as a product) and it's fucking horrible.

    • @joseaguilar4845
      @joseaguilar4845 10 років тому

      That's debatable but the problem really is that he took a movie that's basically a (in my opinion, poignant) parody of the terrible 80s action movies and their nonesensical tropes that had dominated the box office for so long as if it was supposed to be an a straight up 80's action movie.
      That's like complaining that Scary Movie wasn't scary. At the end his review wasn't really funny as it was confusing over how he could miss the point by that much.

      no, Patreon is a deal. you put NEW CONTENT you get your money. it's like if i worked for a company 10 years ago, doing great stuff, and now 10 years later still counting on my revenue from this company... i don't argue about all the work he as already done, and all the money he already get. but if he decides to go let the depression rule his life, and stopping plain and simply his old content, the money he gain should be consequential. Just go see Angry Joe and what commentaries/people are saying... it's pure hatred against him because he "put not as much review in his old style as before"... but the difference with him : HE AS NO PATREON RUNNING !! so is Joe wants to stop or do other video, no pb, it's not contractual and written on a contract page between funders and content creator (like on a patreon.) you understand my point ? it's not about me or what have i done content-wise...

    I didn’t know Spoony wrote a review about Phantom Menace. Comically, it seems like people, once again, are viewing Episode 1 in a more positive light, ever since the new Star Wars movies. Funny how the pendulum swings back and forth...
    Anyway, I used to love Final Fantasy Vlll. Back in the day, it seemed fresh and cool. The soundtrack helped.
    But now, I think it’s the worst FF of the FF Golden Age games (Vl - X). The Laguna dream sequences definitely interrupt the flow and pacing. If you removed Laguna and Ellone from the story, you would have exactly the same game, just with better pacing.
    So yeah, I think Noah saw through the BS that the rest of us were hesitant to highlight. He has a good eye.

  • @barvem851
    @barvem851 9 років тому

    For anyone who doesn't want to read very far into what i'm going to gab on about, in short I can relate a lot with Spoony but I was more of the Final Fantasy fan but I watched a lot of Spoony's videos on the Ultima series and I related a lot with what he talked about. And i'm going to mention my thoughts on Final Fantasy as a whole (and yes even the spirits within. Obviously, be warned it's lengthy but I really want to let it out also it's just my opinion.)
    I know a lot of people are going to either laugh or castrate me for saying this but, actually, I was a huge fan of Final Fantasy VII when it came out even from the demo before it came out. It was the first Final Fantasy I actually engaged in playing. Originally I watched someone play Final Fantasy I on the NES but I was born the year it came out so it wasn't a new thing for me but I was old enough to know that it was old and I still loved it. So when Final Fantasy VII came out, I knew it's been 10 years since it was made and I was blown away at how carefully they focused on every detail in every art style, every polygraph in battle, the cutscenes. I could see where they were going. They wanted something to get yourself lost in while they tell you a good story which Final Fantasy VII was their first big leap into that feeling going from a 2d plane to a more 3rd dimentional feel, trying to give you a very personal experience with these characters but that's just my opinion.
    So I loved that aspect and I didn't get much into their story previously, I couldn't. I didn't have the games and you couldn't just get the games online, you had to look all over thrift stores that care very little for games, or happen to know someone or find it in a garage sale. So keep in mind, I REALLY wanted to play them but I never could. So, that in mind, when I got FFVII I knew right off the bat, the story writers know how to tell a story on a very personal level which really got to me. But then I heard a lot of hate for it because it was too emotional and just laughed a bit but at the same time I can understand. And they didn't ever stop telling it on a personal level, FF8 really personal. 9, very personal but on a broader scale. But I will admit once FFX came along, I felt a shift that they were still trying to keep to their original style but they were going to start swinging in really weird directions on how that was going to happen and it didn't help that it was being done by different people either. I eventually started liking square less and less because of that on Final Fantasy's level but for what it's worth, I did get to go back and play all the old ones except III so far which I heard is arguably one of the best so I can't wait to play that but where i'm getting at with all this is I can actually completely agree with Spoony.
    In fact when Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, a lot of pople might disagree but just like with Star Wars Episode 1, it was actually popular. So much so that it was aired many times on tv all over the place and accessable. It was popular...at least for the people just starting to get into the franchise or people who don't play games lol, but like a lot of people who spent any kind of time and care into the lore of the games, I hated it right about at the beginning of the movie with my friend who came with to watch it with me. Now, it's one of those movies nobody wants to talk about lol.

  • @retrospectre2658
    @retrospectre2658 9 років тому

    I totally agree with Spoony on the point of games or movies are too important to mess up sometimes. Like the ending of Mass Effect. I'm surrounded by non-gamers so almost no one I talk with gets why that pissed me off so much. I keep trying to explain it too, that it's not just screwing up one game, oh well. It's screwing up hours and hours of play, an entire universe that was so unique it was like another star trek without taking from it, and up until the last 10 minutes the entire thing was written very intelligently. Then they take a character who has survived suicide missions from the start of the game (and even in their back story if you choose it), actually died and came back, then you get handcuffed into choosing one of three variations of the same ending.
    Or GTA5 with the torture scene. Let's face it, it wasnt that shocking. It was clearly put in there to piss off the anti-violence crowd and they were smart enough not to take the bait. The problems I have with it is that there is no reason to torture the guy (He's actively cooperating??), FIB sucks so harshly at their job that they get a bunch of retired bank robbers to 86 a guy based off of vague descriptions, and to unlock 100% for the mission you have to play dumb and use all the tools as he begs you to stop in probably the whiniest way possible. Oh yeah and while I'm on it, where's my damn heists???

    Glad to see you guys, you both be appearing to be doing well, and that's good.
    How goes your movie project Spoony ?
    *About Ultima :*
    To a lesser extent, felt the same way about the Ultima Series myself. I am more angry at the fact that no matter how they try, we always get crap games out of the franchise. I mean, if anything else, do like Square Enix ans remake the old games with better dialogues, better 2d graphics, less clumsy interface. No need to change the story at all. But nope, either crap (U4E ? **lol**) or nothing at all. If they feel Ultima can't appeal to the kind of mass they need, then let Richard Garriott re-purchase the franchise and be done with it, the same with Wing Commander and Chris Roberts. I get the fact you don't want to make these games anymore (or make them properly). Just sell the rights then, no shame.
    On the other hand, I rather liked Ultima8, but only because I took the time to read all the in-game lore (and there's quite a lot), and I don't mind the inventory management that drives people mad. There was however nothing to do about U9... Buggy as hell, **NO** replay value whatsoever as it's hard-coded on rails with a tiny world and no exploration/easter eggs. U3-4-5-6 should be remade with a modern, 64bits Ultima7p2 engine, allow dual weilding and odd equipment choice for lolz and you've got a really good 4-games collection to sell. U8 should be remade completely, and definitely so should be U9.
    About Richard Garriott, This guy is the perfect candidate either as a DM or as a player for good old Dungeons and Dragons/Gurps campaings, you're right in calling him "The King of Nerds" in one of your reviews Spoony. He's friend material for nerds all around. Not so sure how I feel about Shroud of the Avatar although I did invest some money to the game... but keeping my thoughts until I am playing the final product. I hope the solo campaign will be on par with the Ultima3 thru 7p2 way of doing... a tough order to fill, but if anyone can do it, it's RG.

  • @mckenzie.latham91
    @mckenzie.latham91 9 років тому

    I agree with Spoony, Last Action hero is actually a good movie...
    Charles Dance is one of the best villains ever, imagine that,
    a villain who is smarter than any other character in the film, finding out he can travel from the world of movies to the real world, where evil can win...and he can bring any villain, monster, and or henchmen he wants from any film into that reality with him...
    the scene where he wants to test the police response time and or his monologue about inviting the greatest film villains ever to a party, with Hannibal lector, king kong, adolf Hitler, etc. etc.
    just chilling scenes man, well done, well acted', Charles dance is one of the best actors i have ever seen, who never seems to get the credit he deserves (until game of thrones).

    Never liked FFVIII. I remember trying very hard to enjoy it when it came out, but to no avail. Luckily, not long after it's release I discovered emulators and got to expirience the previous titles, mainly IV, V and VI, which were at the time never been released in my neck of the world, so I learned that VII was not the only highlight of the series. FFX is a fun game since it has maybe the best battle system in the series and Auron (nuff said), but already as a kid, I too hated Tidus and blitzball.

    It’s true…Positive reviews about good things are just plain boring, with the exception of a positive review of a so-bad-it’s-good/funny movie/game/comic. Then again, you may just have an unpopular opinion about whether something is bad or good & only want to hear the opinion of someone whom agrees with you.

    Comedy comes from pathos, so negative reviews will always have a higher laugh ceiling than positive ones. But it's more than that. Even straightforward critics tend to draw more attention with negative reviews than positive ones--that's why it's become both the backbone and the stereotype that critics are all ruthless. It's what people enjoy. Hell, Jay Sherman as The Critic was character completely lampooning that very premise--often in a very negative light, too, thus creating a meta concept in this whole comedy/pathos/criticism delta.

    One day, a mom walked in with their little kid, I'd guess about 8, and I asked what she had planned for the night, and she said they were going to watch a movie her son picked. I asked which one, and the boy said, "The new Transformers movie, with the dinosaurs!" Since I never want to force my opinion onto anyone or sound rude or anything, I simply said, "I heard that that's the worst one." And the kid said, "NO! It's the BEST one!"
