+Dexter Manning Watched it the whole way mate.. Objectively speaking, with the way our shitty society works... I'm sure you know people are gonna use this as ammo to bash you and your friends--completely ignoring positives you hoped to balance it out, right? And they'd ruin everyone's reputation out of a cringy sense of self-righteousness? I know you want to avoid drama but also want to let it out, so I won't blame you... but even something like this is gonna have consequences for everyone, and no one really wins. Best of luck to you, and them. And I really hope the online UA-cam community (particularly "fans) stops being so crappy.
+Peoples Liberation Army Not sure what it is, but if you watch some of chilledchoas ' older cards against humanity, I believe that that is the junkyard that was part of the creatures before.
+FR0STS0UL honestly I think that all the employees killed it, thank god cow chop is happening because I love Aleks and James, too bad Dex is done though :(
"You know this Kmart is really a reminder, a reminder that great things can be taken down to size. It's just evolved over the years into something depressing." -Kootra 2015 The same could be said about the Creatures.
+FR0STS0UL Use to watch UberHaxorNova so much yeaaars ago, back when (before) he got the character in happy wheels and he was doing his minecraft videos. I remember how much I loved and admired his work and videos he pumped out. His vids with sp00n and others with multiplayer minecraft, with the birthday party? Sadly, I just stopped watching them a while after the whole 'creature' thing started happening. I miss the old days
+MultiMalin123 I feel like James and Aleks realised that The Creatures is broken and will probably fall apart at some point. This situation sounds really similar to the time when Gassy left because of disagreements between Jordan and Dan. Cow Chop will hopefully prevail if/when The Creatures brake down.
+OldEE I hope so, James and Aleks in my opinion are some of the best, their battleblock series created some of my favourite UA-cam moments and I'd hate to see them go.
+Dylanps05 Dex is a gold digger, getting his spotlight with the creatures. The real reason he quit was bc Dex realized Drama on youtube is where its at.
Completely agree. Of course, James and Aleks (and a little bit of Aaron/intern joe) are pretty much carrying the entertainment on the channel and meanwhile the others are treating almost all of the audience as little 12 year olds. Yes, some of the people that watch them are young, but most of them are teens/adults too. The channel, in my opinion, has been going downhill ever since sly left the group.
the sheer number of dislikes on the creatures videos since this posted is incredible, shows that although not everyone loved Dex, people appreciate a dose of reality
+PastLifeVillian how is it cancerous? people listened to dex and talked about problems that the creatures had so they want to show the creatures that these issues need to be adressed instead of doing their usual thing and waiting for it to roll over. maturity has nothing to do with this, if anything the only ones being immature are the creatures in how they act on the matter.
+Thermo Link so it's the creatures fault that they gave Dex an opportunity but found out he wasn't the right guy for them? Because they disagree with how Dex acts on camera automatically make them the bad guys?
That's not completely true, the official office streams by James and Aleks were absolute genius every, minute of them Anyways, now Aleks, James, Aron, joe, and Trevor have left the office,
+MYM yeah the 2010-2012 era of creatures was great they produced some of their best content back then now it just feels formulaic and kinda fake on the hub ive been unsubed for a couple months now but thats just my opinion things change shit happens.
Dan and Kootra pretty much single handly ruined The Creatures. I really think Aleks and James are waiting for Cow Chop to get big enough so they can leave.
The time when Seamus wasn't really around is when it REALLY started going downhill. Even after Max and Sly left I felt they still could keep it going and it would be good, but they've never recovered after Seamus stopped appearing in videos. It also sucks though, because Seamus and James have always been my favorites, and who knows if they'll ever do anything together again (I hope they do) It sucks seeing a group you've loved watching for 6 years fall apart like this, but at this point I wish they'd just put if out of its misery like you said and James and Aleks do their own thing (will possible guest appearances from old friend like Sly and Seamus??)
i can at least understand why dan did what he did, he was kinda dealing with stress and stuff at the time, but jordan just seems kinda like a pompous jerk :/
+Oly1y which is when they moved into the building. james and aleks are the only thing keeping the channel afloat. i literally turn on adblcok when a hub vid comes on and scrub through it to see if aleks or james are in the vid. if they are, i refresh and disable adblock. if not then fuck the hub, im out!
7:25 If I remember correctly this was when Dex was drunk and he went on tumblr to tell a fan to kill herself. If that is the case then I believe the creatures were not trying to change Dex's social life but rather tell Dex to not act that way on social media especially since he had suddenly gained a much wider audience full of younger fans unlike his previous more vulgar audience
It's best to view your channel as a hobby. It's more fun that way. Sure you could grind and try to make a career out of it or you could enjoy your life and have fun doing what you want to do. You do what makes you happy Dex, don't let others drag you down.
+Frisky At the same time, it can be hard for someone like Dex, who has being uploading on UA-cam for over 8 years now. I've been a fan for most of that time. I've seen Dex go through his ups and downs. Its been a while since he treated UA-cam as just a hobby, so i'm a bit worried about how going back will change his style. Hopefully he'll just stay a goon and keep making dick jokes.
According to Dex's twitter: "Really wish people would watch the whole video. At the end I say that even if my experience was crap and I got treated weirdly. They're still my friends, just not good at co-workers/bosses. Don't get me wrong everything I said happens but they're not terrible people"
+Kokobro Gassy didnt leave, he was essentially voted out. For not contributing much, he had barely been in any videos for a few month and was spending a lot of time with his girlfriend. There was some large issues between him and Dan as well I think.
Crazy amount of respect for you Dex. Thank you for coming out and just being honest about everything. Suddenly the whole situation with Kevin has become so much more clear as well.
Your honesty is greatly appreciated, Dex. You have a great personality, and it did seem like the Creatures made you act like someone you're not, so I'm glad you've gotten out of that toxic environment. I wish you luck in your emdeavors, and keep being yourself :)
They need to make one of those filthy frank vids where they show a clip of one of the current creature vids and then filthy freak saying "know your fucking place , trash"
This is the first time for me where I come to realize how much I appreciate your honesty. You're a fucking great person, you know that? This is also the first time for me where someone from the "inside" provides info on how the others are in real life. For example I didn't know about the PC angle, which must've hit you hard, since in my experience the English are experts in swearing. So I guess the usual "C" word was out of the question. Like you said, it's not all bad and I'm actually happy for you. The thing I miss most on your channel are those short skits you had, the love and editing you put into those was off the charts, so I'd love to see that again whenever you find time and motivation that is. Anyway, I appreciate you posting this and whatever you do from now on, I wish you the best.
This sucks. Dex took so much shit from the Creatures' "fans" for no reason and yet he was on the Hub every single day for them. The fact that the Hub is only once a week now probably speaks volumes... I'm glad he got out, he definitely brought the entertainment factor to a lot of Creature videos and he also seemed to be the only one not acting for the camera, but if he's being treated as a second class citizen then it's not worth it. Always been a big fan of the Creatures, but hearing this stuff is definitely disappointing. Best of luck mate!
If James left the Creatures, they'd be in serious trouble! Him & Aleks are the one's who are really keeping them alive! Dan & Spencer are annoying af and Kootra seems to kill the fun out of everything, like he's the parent of the group telling them not to do this and that, like wtf! It's a shame they treated Dex in that way, as he has a lot of talent, he's defiantly more entertaining than half of the other creatures! It was more fun when Sly, Kevin, Seamus where in it :( sad times!
This reminds me of what sly said on his latest update video. He talked about how when he was in the creatures, he didn't know who he was because he was trying to appeal to everyone. There's a pattern here.
This kind of stuff is why I stopped watching content from the creatures a long time ago other than you and Aleks. It seems really uncomfortable now, even from an outside perspective.
Char Aznable Hard to not be generic when you're an LP channel. His mainline CSGO videos are all pretty much the same, but I like his one-offs and Sunday Simulator videos.
+Char Aznable I don't think so it feels like Cow chop is either a way that James and alecks can do what they want without having to worry about the creatures getting uppity about rep, like their vr porn video I doubt that would ever be on the creature channel, and I feel like a lot of people feel as if the James alecks combo is carrying the creatures right now they could be preparing to jump ship in case the creatures receive too much controversy but that's just me speculating
Wow, this really clears up a lot. Thanks for being so honest, Dex. It's one of the things that I really appreciated while you were with the group and I loved your dynamic. Best of wishes in whatever you choose to pursue from here on out.
The Creatures are dying anyway... The "Hub" videos are just Kootra, Danz and the interns... James and Aleks Cow Chop is already 10 times better and the channel is barely 2 months old!
For anyone not aware, Kootra made a post on reddit about Dex. www.reddit.com/r/TheCreatures/comments/4fqtem/response_about_dex/ I don't ever ask for this but can you guys thumb this up? People really need to read this, it doesn't answer all the questions but it settles the dex stuff.
People compare the Creatures to Achievement Hunter all the time, and I never caught on, even though I watch both. I now see why. It's practically a mirror.
Hmm i never was too big of a fan of Dex but this video kinda explains why lol he was out of place with the creatures which made things weird....buuuut the reason for that is because the creatures are more business like nowadays so someone thats as raw and uncut as dex just would never fit in. I feel kinda bad bashing him for the past year now but at least i know why. The creatures are still entertaining but....its just not the same. Seamus did himself a favor by leaving and now once aleks leaves or james then i think its fair to say that that channel will take a hit it cant recover from.Sad because i might have to find another nerd community to latch onto because creature hub is taking the 4 Player Podcast route. Keep doing you Dex!
You should watch Roosterteeth, if you want more of the video games then you should watch achievement hunter and their let's play channel. It's still mostly achievement hunter. I really do recommend watching them! (Achievement hunter is apart of roosterteeth)
Man, listening to his story is making me look at the creatures differently, I know people are different off camera but whoa. I really liked Dexter on the creatures probably one of my favorites. I think the creatures being with rooster teeth is gonna help them but change the way they are as a whole
Good on you, Dex. Do what makes you happy, and don't let anything change who you are. (Although it sucks to hear what they're like off-camera. But, it's good that it's getting out.)
At first when Dex was first shown on the channel, I think it was the Red Faction videos, I wasn't used to him, but I didn't mind having him there. As for the others who despised him for literally no reason, it was fucking stupid. Then when he joined, to no one else's surprise, he grew on me. I enjoyed him and thought of him as a creature. As for Spencer and the interns, I just don't find them entertaining as Dex and the original creatures. it sucks that the business took a turn for the worst now. I'm glad Cow Chop is a thing, but as for the creaturehub, it Isn't the same. The constant "Cornered" and "HUB" leads to little to no variation between the videos. The "vlogs" aren't even fun to watch anymore. The Creatures have sadly taken a turn for the worst, leaving 4 "main creatures" remaining. This isn't the first time we heard about them doing something like this. I'm glad Dex could speak out, it means a lot more than just vaguely describing what happened. I don't think I will ever get back into watching the creaturehub, but Cow Chop has potential. Thank you Dex.
With you Dex, and with the slow uprise of Cow Chop, Seamus' glorious return, and my recent interest in Gassy's content, it's like... Why even watch the Creatures anymore?
Now I get why Kevin left, that is if they were the same way towards him. Kevin's personality isn't as bold as Dex's and he's pretty awkward and somewhat introverted. He probably couldn't handle the Creatures, hence why he left.
IT IS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SPOKE UP ABOUT THE CREATURES if you honestly watch their content and did not notice the decrease in quality, and really start to wonder why 1 by 1 creatures started leaving then hopefully this video will reveal that to you. Seamus was legit sick, sly legit had to move to be with his mom, but the huge an sudden departure of kevin and now dex. And Alex not being a part of the group for a month or two because of issues he was having. This just seals the deal the creatures have no idea what they are doing anymore, have lost vision of who they were in the past, and who they wanted to become. Its a shame to see them fall, i'm glad Seamus and Slys solo channels havent changed since they left, and i kind of hope those 2 in partciular join back together as friends to do something. But regardless its about time someone spoke out about the creatures!!
Okay, I always disliked you Dex, because I never understood your sense of humor, and I never liked the way you act. But, thank you for this video. Thank you for opening our eyes.
It's really fucking upsetting hearing that someone (the creatures) you've been a fan of for years is now just falling apart and not the people you thought they were. Really sorry for you Dex but good on you for speaking out and making yourself better.
I'm still holding onto the hope that some day The Creatures will go back to their roots. No more office spaces, no more Creature Carl plushies, no more company sponsorships...how did a couple of guys playing video games and talking just completely do a 180 and become so vapid and dull and lifeless? Now with the money thing, I can understand that everyone has to earn money these days, and maybe putting their certain skills to use for profit is not so bad in their minds. But I think everything has been slowly turning more capitalist in nature than they're willing to admit. It's turning into just another corporate shell now. And so much of the energy is gone, you know? I think most of it left when Sly, Seamus, and now Dex left the group. The Creatures are missing something big right now, and they're not going to find it in the safes of a bank. Nor are they going to find it by randomly adding new people, putting them into videos, and seeing what sticks. Where's the effort? Where's the fun? Where's the content that I started watching The Creatures for? Oh and also, where's the interactions with the fans? Good luck to you, Dex. I truly mean that. You weren't just another goon or anything, you were a Creature. And whatever you choose to be next, wherever you go, don't forget that there's always somebody who's going to be behind you 100%. Also, don't forget to wipe your bum.
+mr assassin i think aron and joe are fine, they have defined personalities. They just aren't as close to my heart as the others that have been there for years.
+MeliorIlle I agree. When they first announced they were making it a business a few years ago I was happy for them but after Gassy left (or well...kicked out really IMO at least) I saw what was coming.
Really appreciate the honesty. From the Creatures standpoint, it is important for the company not to have a bad rep. But, it's an asshole move to lecture you when, as you said, they do worse things. From this video we can see really clearly that The Creatures is a business/brand now, not that group of friends who want to have fun playing video games back then. After all these years, Chilled was right. That "boss" mentality that mainly Jordan has brought the falling out for them imo. Specially that now The Creatures is a business and not a group. I will not be surprised if James and Aleks leaves the group right now. It seems that they are the only ones left that actually just wants to play games with friends, have fun, and entertain. If you've seen the content in Cow Chop and the "content" that's in the Hub, you'll see the difference. I'll continue to support you even if you're not a Creature anymore. I find you really entertaining rather than 80% of what's left of The Creatures.
Eh, i still enjoy the Creatures' content, but as you said, it's pretty apparent they've become a business, and i also wouldn't be surprised if James and Aleks left to just work on Cow Chop. I think the Creatures would be cool people to hang out with, but not to work for.
James and Aleks MIGHT (this is just a prediction of the current state that the group is in) leave the creatures if cow chop is big enough because it is pretty possible for them to start their own group on their own. I doubt that will happen though since they are linked with a bunch of other big channels now.
The problem with the creatures is that it just was a group of friends in the beginning playing games, and the synergy was awesome. But it turned into a company that had to make money. Which led to pressure, stress, forced content, acting and irritations within the group which has cost them some vital members they really couldn't substitute. Aleks was a good addition, but the others were really average. Sp00n and Ze were vital for the synergy too, but were kinda exluded bc they didn't live there. Being forced to work together face to face everyday is a whole different story than playing games a couple of nights together via teamspeak.
I feel sad after watching this. Im sorry for you Dex, honestly you were my favorite creature, because you weren't a push over. You didn't really give a shit about anything.
Thank you so much for confirming what a lot of us have speculated for a long time: the real side of the "Creatures" that are left, manipulating you, the hypocrisy etc. Good on you getting away from them Dex.
since day 1 i always knew something been off with jordan and dan. never really liked them for shit. whats so funny is a lot of COOL youtubers who joined the creatures left because of who JORDAN AND DAN. BOTH are always in the mix of shit and always involved with people departing from the creatures. dex however, i like along with james aleks seamus and sly. Dex the realest one. i like dex because he tells it how it is and MAJORITY people cant even be honest about shit.
i can agree. everytime a creature member departs its because there was always conflict with that person with jordan and dan. plus dex does tell the truth lol luv him for it.
You earned a subscriber. You liked the old creatures basically. Outside of work having fun being u. Thats what the old creatures were about. Now that it is a company they turned it into a chore just to be there.
Honestly, I think I see where you're coming from Dex. I do see a bit of a power-tripping vibe with some of the boss-creatures. Now-a-days, I only enjoy watching James and Aleks on their CowChop Channel or James' channel... Just know I'll be watching your content still!
Sounds like the creature office is worse than any of us have imagined previously. No wonder they're declining, the way they're handling the group must be extremely exhausting and cause a lot of negative tension.
Your honesty is seriously so refreshing, Dex. I don't always understand your british humour, like a bunch of other creatures fans did, but you are you and I never got pissy at you about it. Good for you for leaving on relatively good terms and pursuing what you want and what makes you happy. Keep on keeping on dude :)
I normally hated Dex, but I think it was the light The Creatures put him in. This video was very eye-opening. Much luck to you Dex, with your new life and the future.
For the family friendly part, I was never really sure if they were trying to be family friendly or not. Like Jordan would try to act really family friendly and then all of a sudden Spence comes in saying "Tuck in your balls".
I could tell Dex was uncomfortable as fuck in that office. There's more and more weird vibes I can sense from that place every day. Good to have the real Dex back!
Man I'll be honest... when the Creatures moved into the office, their content quality stared declining. The Creatures was the best when it was just a bunch of best friends living in a house together, playing games, and having the time of their lives.
TLDR: Dex joins creatures, have fun as freinds, move to America to be with them, creature "Bosses" Boss him around and force him to be not himself and shit, not what Dex thought it would be instead of freinds playing games and having fun together but instead get bossed around and kept as a side goon. (although James was cool to Dex). Also Dex's "Quitting" is just him saying UA-cam is more of a Hobby so he wont be doing it full time.
this. is. amazing, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I understand completely, I I highly support you in the direction you are taking in life. Hope you do good in life Dex!
It must've been difficult to make this, Dex. You were by far my favorite creature for the short stint you were in the office, and it was always pretty clear you weren't comfortable in the office. Sorry you had to deal with them. Best of luck! I love your channel and I'm gonna stick around.
Please watch the entire video before leaving a comment, thanks
love the vids man keep doing whatcha do man
+Dexter Manning Watched it the whole way mate..
Objectively speaking, with the way our shitty society works... I'm sure you know people are gonna use this as ammo to bash you and your friends--completely ignoring positives you hoped to balance it out, right? And they'd ruin everyone's reputation out of a cringy sense of self-righteousness?
I know you want to avoid drama but also want to let it out, so I won't blame you... but even something like this is gonna have consequences for everyone, and no one really wins.
Best of luck to you, and them. And I really hope the online UA-cam community (particularly "fans) stops being so crappy.
like monty oum said keep moving forward.
has aleks changed since you began working with him. he seems like he's grown into a nob over the last 2 years
+Dexter Manning You're very open and I appreciate you for that. So thank you for all the entertainment you've given us.
Been there done that!
Junk I love you!
LOL JUNK
+Junkyard129 Wow Junk is here :D

Hearing that James defended you kinda brought a smile to my face
I'm proud that Dexter actually spoke out in honesty, The Creatures are just rotting away now.
+FR0STS0UL Man, the creatures would have been great if Dan and Kootra weren't ever apart of it. At least that's what i think.
🐮🔪
+FR0STS0UL honestly I think that all the employees killed it, thank god cow chop is happening because I love Aleks and James, too bad Dex is done though :(
"You know this Kmart is really a reminder, a reminder that great things can be taken down to size. It's just evolved over the years into something depressing." -Kootra 2015
The same could be said about the Creatures.
+FR0STS0UL Use to watch UberHaxorNova so much yeaaars ago, back when (before) he got the character in happy wheels and he was doing his minecraft videos. I remember how much I loved and admired his work and videos he pumped out. His vids with sp00n and others with multiplayer minecraft, with the birthday party?
Sadly, I just stopped watching them a while after the whole 'creature' thing started happening. I miss the old days
I'm just glad that James and Aleks created 'CowChop' to save the crumbling remains that is the creatures.
+MultiMalin123 I feel like James and Aleks realised that The Creatures is broken and will probably fall apart at some point. This situation sounds really similar to the time when Gassy left because of disagreements between Jordan and Dan. Cow Chop will hopefully prevail if/when The Creatures brake down.
+OldEE I hope so, James and Aleks in my opinion are some of the best, their battleblock series created some of my favourite UA-cam moments and I'd hate to see them go.
+MultiMalin123 yup
🐮🔪
They are the only reason the creatures aren't dead
I don't get why they treat people who were supposed to be just employees like actual creatures, meanwhile they treat other creatures like employees
logic
+Dylanps05 thats why half of them are fucking gone
If either Nova or ImmortalHD leaves, I'll be done with The Creatures.
+Dylanps05 Dex is a gold digger, getting his spotlight with the creatures. The real reason he quit was bc Dex realized Drama on youtube is where its at.
+Legacy sparta I don't think so just because they're both bosses
The creatures are trying to milk the shit out of James and Aleks, I'm so glad that they moved the Cow Chop set out of the office
+AsterDXZ Heh, Milk.
It would be cool if Dex joined cow chop but I don't think Dex is interested
+MastermindEpsilon lel
lmao and 4 months later he visits
Thecreaturehub is becoming thechildrenhub.
Completely agree. Of course, James and Aleks (and a little bit of Aaron/intern joe) are pretty much carrying the entertainment on the channel and meanwhile the others are treating almost all of the audience as little 12 year olds. Yes, some of the people that watch them are young, but most of them are teens/adults too. The channel, in my opinion, has been going downhill ever since sly left the group.
+edisonmcq It's as if they forgot they have fans from like 7 years ago... we are not kids anymore.
Seth Rollins (AKA Joe) is a God
+sora8711 theinternhub*
it needs to become more like cowchop. child friendly PC crap is getting old.
the sheer number of dislikes on the creatures videos since this posted is incredible, shows that although not everyone loved Dex, people appreciate a dose of reality
Agree
Agree
No, it shows people are cancerous and immature.
+PastLifeVillian how is it cancerous? people listened to dex and talked about problems that the creatures had so they want to show the creatures that these issues need to be adressed instead of doing their usual thing and waiting for it to roll over. maturity has nothing to do with this, if anything the only ones being immature are the creatures in how they act on the matter.
+Thermo Link so it's the creatures fault that they gave Dex an opportunity but found out he wasn't the right guy for them? Because they disagree with how Dex acts on camera automatically make them the bad guys?
Oh god. This will be the catalyst for countless awkward panel questions.
Yesssss
Some 13yo - "So uhh is it true that Dexter left you guys because he thinks you're all goons?"
There isn't even a panel this year at pax
+Kanyime I hope someone says that
this literally could be quiet the downfall for the creatures dex showed us their true colors
I miss the creature house days, since they moved into the office its never been the same...
Same
That's not completely true, the official office streams by James and Aleks were absolute genius every, minute of them
Anyways, now Aleks, James, Aron, joe, and Trevor have left the office,
+Disco Inferno I know so excited for what the future holds with that
+Disco Inferno Asian Aron and Chicken Joe??!!!
+Allie Bee Yesirr
it takes guts to let your mind out. respect
+Seth Moreno It takes a drama queen to air his old friends dirty laundry, this is some high school drama level bullshit.
***** It mean my parents raised me not to bitch about my personal problems on social media, I loathe those people.
Gabe Newell You want me to drink bleach because of my opinion? That's dark man
20buckman12
I believe you meant to put, "That's dank man."
james is the only creature i like anymore and that's sad shit happens i suppose best of luck dex.
+caleb masullo Aleks?
Dr. Spasticat i like aleks i was just never subbed to him but hes fine forgot he was a creature tbh.
lmao
+caleb masullo Agreed. My favorite "era of creatures" was around 2011-2012.
+MYM yeah the 2010-2012 era of creatures was great they produced some of their best content back then now it just feels formulaic and kinda fake on the hub ive been unsubed for a couple months now but thats just my opinion things change shit happens.
I love how every ex creature talks about the management issues.
Obviously they should realize they need a change in management
Spot on Jordan impression.
Dern sure
I like James even more now that I found out he defended Dex
Me too ! And the quote he said towards the end of the Q & A live stream, in which they announced that they left the creatures
Cow chop is where the good shit is
+bigGisnumber1 cause its only james and aleks XD
+bigGisnumber1 🐮🔪
pornhub is where the good shit is
+bigGisnumber1 Check out Funhaus, they also upload nice shit
+Tyrone Lannister though i would welcome kevin, dex, spoon imo
Dan and Kootra pretty much single handly ruined The Creatures. I really think Aleks and James are waiting for Cow Chop to get big enough so they can leave.
The time when Seamus wasn't really around is when it REALLY started going downhill. Even after Max and Sly left I felt they still could keep it going and it would be good, but they've never recovered after Seamus stopped appearing in videos. It also sucks though, because Seamus and James have always been my favorites, and who knows if they'll ever do anything together again (I hope they do)
It sucks seeing a group you've loved watching for 6 years fall apart like this, but at this point I wish they'd just put if out of its misery like you said and James and Aleks do their own thing (will possible guest appearances from old friend like Sly and Seamus??)
i can at least understand why dan did what he did, he was kinda dealing with stress and stuff at the time, but jordan just seems kinda like a pompous jerk :/
I remember James saying that kootra is a monster when the can shuts down
camera*
+Tbadman Soziman link?
+Nacho Fez I actually don't know what video it is .
+MrTotalMexican101 oh OK ty for clarifying
+MrTotalMexican101 no it wasn't. He always says scumbag kootra because that's what Jordan is behind the camera.
the moment gassymexican left the creatures i knew they were gonna crumble the only guys keeping the creatures going is james and aleks
Yeah :/ I miss the old creatures
Not A Ricer k?
+virtualelectr8 ikr
+Slender Mam hence why they made cow chop
When gassy got kicked out I was so sad
The Creatures really went shit once Seamus left and they moved into that god damn office building.
they went to shit when they became a business.
🐮🔪
When the interns came in is when it really went downhill
they went shit when sly left tbh. the duo streams, treetopia, and all that shit was so dope, it sucks bc i used to be such a huge fan.
+Oly1y which is when they moved into the building. james and aleks are the only thing keeping the channel afloat. i literally turn on adblcok when a hub vid comes on and scrub through it to see if aleks or james are in the vid. if they are, i refresh and disable adblock. if not then fuck the hub, im out!
7:25 If I remember correctly this was when Dex was drunk and he went on tumblr to tell a fan to kill herself. If that is the case then I believe the creatures were not trying to change Dex's social life but rather tell Dex to not act that way on social media especially since he had suddenly gained a much wider audience full of younger fans unlike his previous more vulgar audience
+Teeges Donnelly No
I feel like he's gotten drunk more than once so this isn't necessarily true. Could be two different situations
You know who would give a fuck after a week? Oscar.
Too bad He's dead.
Thanks ALEKS
Goddammit Aleks...
That was like a year ago... come on now
+bffmco RIP Oscar -Killed by ImmortalHD A.K.A Aleks
These types of comments are so nice to see tbh. It's been a while
It's best to view your channel as a hobby. It's more fun that way. Sure you could grind and try to make a career out of it or you could enjoy your life and have fun doing what you want to do. You do what makes you happy Dex, don't let others drag you down.
+Frisky eeyyyyyy
+Frisky At the same time, it can be hard for someone like Dex, who has being uploading on UA-cam for over 8 years now. I've been a fan for most of that time. I've seen Dex go through his ups and downs. Its been a while since he treated UA-cam as just a hobby, so i'm a bit worried about how going back will change his style. Hopefully he'll just stay a goon and keep making dick jokes.
Kiss ass
How the fuck did I not know you liked dex
Used to be subscribed to them all, but the video content went down hill about a year ago.
True
🐮🔪
it's kinda funny I'm only subscribed to the people who have been kicked out/ left.
🐮🔪
*****
All I wanted was to see the latest and other games being played. Funny as each step they got bigger it torn them apart.
According to Dex's twitter:
"Really wish people would watch the whole video. At the end I say that even if my experience was crap and I got treated weirdly. They're still my friends, just not good at co-workers/bosses. Don't get me wrong everything I said happens but they're not terrible people"
it all went downhill when sly left
Troo
False. Creatures were dead back when Gassy left. From what it sounds like, probably for the exact same reasons.
+Kokobro Gassy didnt leave, he was essentially voted out. For not contributing much, he had barely been in any videos for a few month and was spending a lot of time with his girlfriend. There was some large issues between him and Dan as well I think.
Well i started watching the creatures a little after sly joined and i loved them but if i was around for gassy i probably would agree with you
It had a slow decline when Gassy got voted out then when Sly left it was a rapid decline
Love it how they don't make you a Goodbye vid...
Same thing happened with Kevin...
The Creatures = WWE
Dex = CM Punk
If you're a wrestling fan, you might agree with this comparison.
Nova = John Cena
If you want to compare more creatures
Nova=Seth Rollins?
+Aaron Jake This is him pipebomb
Spencer : R truth
Supposed to be funny but isn't
Nova=Triple H
He's an OG. Has a lot of great ideas.
Cow Chop=NXT?
Crazy amount of respect for you Dex. Thank you for coming out and just being honest about everything.
Suddenly the whole situation with Kevin has become so much more clear as well.
Like how so? Genuinely don't know much about why kevin left
+KoRReaction Max too
ikr, dude, RIP Kevin
+KoRReaction What do you mean by 'Suddenly the whole situation with Kevin has become so much more clear as well.' ?
+MajesticPubes +korreaction He thinks he knows what Kevin was thinking based off of Dex's opinions.
Your honesty is greatly appreciated, Dex. You have a great personality, and it did seem like the Creatures made you act like someone you're not, so I'm glad you've gotten out of that toxic environment. I wish you luck in your emdeavors, and keep being yourself :)
*endeavors lol

when sly left we knew the creatures were going to die but we ignored and its to late.

Cow chop is what creatures used to be in their inappropriate careless manner that made them amazing
Well lmao rip
Title: Leaving the creatures and quitting UA-cam
Description: New videos every day!
Nice try Dex, but I'm not that easily fooled :P
+Jory Johnson you obviously didn't watch the whole video before commenting.
I did. I knew you weren't actually leaving, it was just a joke I thought up.
A little extreme, no?
+Jory Johnson hahah yeah that was a bit wierd when i think about it :p but yeah i understand that ppl fuck up with that stuff :p
+Jory Johnson "quitting" with quotation marks. maybe watch the vid and he will explain that.
Only good creatures:
James
Dex
Maybe Aleks.
love you Dex.
agreed
Maybe Dan
Maybe Artist Joe?
+George Washington and aleks and james made their own channel(cow chop),while still filmed in the office, its their channel
Sorry, I stopped watching The Creatures shortly after Dex Joined. I don't know anyone past Spencer.
Intern Joe, Artist Joe and Stef are cool too
They need to make one of those filthy frank vids where they show a clip of one of the current creature vids and then filthy freak saying "know your fucking place , trash"
*frank
YES
Chelsea are fucking awful
+gall140 lmao ikr
+gall140 irrelevant
Well this explains a lot of reasons why so many of them left. They're not really friends anymore. It's more business than fun shenanigans.
This is the first time for me where I come to realize how much I appreciate your honesty. You're a fucking great person, you know that? This is also the first time for me where someone from the "inside" provides info on how the others are in real life. For example I didn't know about the PC angle, which must've hit you hard, since in my experience the English are experts in swearing. So I guess the usual "C" word was out of the question. Like you said, it's not all bad and I'm actually happy for you. The thing I miss most on your channel are those short skits you had, the love and editing you put into those was off the charts, so I'd love to see that again whenever you find time and motivation that is. Anyway, I appreciate you posting this and whatever you do from now on, I wish you the best.
This sucks. Dex took so much shit from the Creatures' "fans" for no reason and yet he was on the Hub every single day for them. The fact that the Hub is only once a week now probably speaks volumes...
I'm glad he got out, he definitely brought the entertainment factor to a lot of Creature videos and he also seemed to be the only one not acting for the camera, but if he's being treated as a second class citizen then it's not worth it.
Always been a big fan of the Creatures, but hearing this stuff is definitely disappointing.
Best of luck mate!
If James left the Creatures, they'd be in serious trouble! Him & Aleks are the one's who are really keeping them alive! Dan & Spencer are annoying af and Kootra seems to kill the fun out of everything, like he's the parent of the group telling them not to do this and that, like wtf! It's a shame they treated Dex in that way, as he has a lot of talent, he's defiantly more entertaining than half of the other creatures! It was more fun when Sly, Kevin, Seamus where in it :( sad times!
+Nathan Sparks James and aleks made their own channel called CowChop and have moooooved out of the office
+Nathan Sparks Cow Chop
***** nope they bought a house
They actually just announced on stream that they have left the creatures, along with Aron and Joe in order to make Cow Chop
+Nathan Sparks You spoke too soon, friend. You spoke too damn soon. gg. ;v;
This reminds me of what sly said on his latest update video. He talked about how when he was in the creatures, he didn't know who he was because he was trying to appeal to everyone. There's a pattern here.
This kind of stuff is why I stopped watching content from the creatures a long time ago other than you and Aleks. It seems really uncomfortable now, even from an outside perspective.
👍
Char Aznable Hard to not be generic when you're an LP channel. His mainline CSGO videos are all pretty much the same, but I like his one-offs and Sunday Simulator videos.
+Char Aznable I don't think so it feels like Cow chop is either a way that James and alecks can do what they want without having to worry about the creatures getting uppity about rep, like their vr porn video I doubt that would ever be on the creature channel, and I feel like a lot of people feel as if the James alecks combo is carrying the creatures right now they could be preparing to jump ship in case the creatures receive too much controversy but that's just me speculating
+Char Aznable scratch what I said, just found out that cow chop is licensed under the creatures
+Char Aznable wait are you sure?
Wow, this really clears up a lot.
Thanks for being so honest, Dex. It's one of the things that I really appreciated while you were with the group and I loved your dynamic. Best of wishes in whatever you choose to pursue from here on out.
The Creatures are dying anyway... The "Hub" videos are just Kootra, Danz and the interns... James and Aleks Cow Chop is already 10 times better and the channel is barely 2 months old!
For anyone not aware, Kootra made a post on reddit about Dex. www.reddit.com/r/TheCreatures/comments/4fqtem/response_about_dex/
I don't ever ask for this but can you guys thumb this up? People really need to read this, it doesn't answer all the questions but it settles the dex stuff.
+ZmanStar Nah mate, you put comments on it and it goes to the top.
+ZmanStar Just
+ZmanStar Like
+ZmanStar This, Thanks for posting this mate.
Old Man Dysentery Comments is what makes it go up? I don't understand youtube's dumb comment system I never have..
Now we know why Cow Chop exists. James and Aleks' safety net if thecreaturehub inevitably falls apart.
didn't they stress it was apart of the roosterteeth branch? would the be able to continue the channel?
Dex, I feel like you are a more sensitive version of Gavin.
lol
People compare the Creatures to Achievement Hunter all the time, and I never caught on, even though I watch both.
I now see why. It's practically a mirror.
+Grapes are Great Except Gavin censors anything about his personal life...
+Kreed Telos and he has been censored on some let's plays. It's hilarious how cringy it is!!
Grapes are Great Yeah it kinda was lol
It's kinda funny how he complains about Jordan while he's showing footage of him playing smash with "Jordan".
Hmm i never was too big of a fan of Dex but this video kinda explains why lol he was out of place with the creatures which made things weird....buuuut the reason for that is because the creatures are more business like nowadays so someone thats as raw and uncut as dex just would never fit in. I feel kinda bad bashing him for the past year now but at least i know why. The creatures are still entertaining but....its just not the same. Seamus did himself a favor by leaving and now once aleks leaves or james then i think its fair to say that that channel will take a hit it cant recover from.Sad because i might have to find another nerd community to latch onto because creature hub is taking the 4 Player Podcast route. Keep doing you Dex!
+Poverty God achievement hunter
+Xemphas nah funhaus is were it's at.
+Poverty God Fun Haus is great
You should watch Roosterteeth, if you want more of the video games then you should watch achievement hunter and their let's play channel. It's still mostly achievement hunter. I really do recommend watching them! (Achievement hunter is apart of roosterteeth)
Latch onto funhaus or achievement hunter both pretty cool
Man, listening to his story is making me look at the creatures differently, I know people are different off camera but whoa. I really liked Dexter on the creatures probably one of my favorites. I think the creatures being with rooster teeth is gonna help them but change the way they are as a whole
Dex. I was at PAX East. I went to that creatures panel. Let me just tell you, you were definitely the highlight of the show.
Glad to get confirmation that James isn't a complete tool like the rest of the Creatures - not including Aleks, of course
uploading a 40 minute video of binding of isaac "I wouldn't watch that" shots fired at Dan lmao
love you Dex
If it's any consolation to you, your appearances in the videos made me pretty happy!
Damn Dex, finally someone that's real as hell. You kept it straight honest and I love that.
Good on you, Dex. Do what makes you happy, and don't let anything change who you are.
(Although it sucks to hear what they're like off-camera. But, it's good that it's getting out.)
There's a reason James and Aleks are doing their shit on Cow Chop now. Content there is 10x better than anything on the Hub in the past year.
At first when Dex was first shown on the channel, I think it was the Red Faction videos, I wasn't used to him, but I didn't mind having him there. As for the others who despised him for literally no reason, it was fucking stupid. Then when he joined, to no one else's surprise, he grew on me. I enjoyed him and thought of him as a creature. As for Spencer and the interns, I just don't find them entertaining as Dex and the original creatures. it sucks that the business took a turn for the worst now. I'm glad Cow Chop is a thing, but as for the creaturehub, it Isn't the same. The constant "Cornered" and "HUB" leads to little to no variation between the videos. The "vlogs" aren't even fun to watch anymore. The Creatures have sadly taken a turn for the worst, leaving 4 "main creatures" remaining. This isn't the first time we heard about them doing something like this. I'm glad Dex could speak out, it means a lot more than just vaguely describing what happened. I don't think I will ever get back into watching the creaturehub, but Cow Chop has potential. Thank you Dex.
With you Dex, and with the slow uprise of Cow Chop, Seamus' glorious return, and my recent interest in Gassy's content, it's like... Why even watch the Creatures anymore?
I've found cow chop better than the creatures have been in the last 2 years
Now I get why Kevin left, that is if they were the same way towards him. Kevin's personality isn't as bold as Dex's and he's pretty awkward and somewhat introverted. He probably couldn't handle the Creatures, hence why he left.
And Kevin was going through shit on his own. The stress of the car accident must've been devastating on him.
IT IS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SPOKE UP ABOUT THE CREATURES
if you honestly watch their content and did not notice the decrease in quality, and really start to wonder why 1 by 1 creatures started leaving then hopefully this video will reveal that to you.
Seamus was legit sick, sly legit had to move to be with his mom, but the huge an sudden departure of kevin and now dex. And Alex not being a part of the group for a month or two because of issues he was having. This just seals the deal the creatures have no idea what they are doing anymore, have lost vision of who they were in the past, and who they wanted to become. Its a shame to see them fall, i'm glad Seamus and Slys solo channels havent changed since they left, and i kind of hope those 2 in partciular join back together as friends to do something. But regardless its about time someone spoke out about the creatures!!
I think they joined the lets play channel because of everyone leaving and they needed more money
Watch cow chop. It's what the creatures used to be.
Glad he made this video, and that he's taking UA-cam as a hobby. As long he's having a good time
Okay, I always disliked you Dex, because I never understood your sense of humor, and I never liked the way you act.
But, thank you for this video. Thank you for opening our eyes.
+Wecu Snow same
+Wecu Snow English humour is a lot different so I can respect it
It's really fucking upsetting hearing that someone (the creatures) you've been a fan of for years is now just falling apart and not the people you thought they were. Really sorry for you Dex but good on you for speaking out and making yourself better.
I'm pretty sure Dex will be getting a phone call from Koots right now or something #pray4Dex
This is actually legit sad, Good luck for the future Dex!
his jordan voice is spot on
I'm still holding onto the hope that some day The Creatures will go back to their roots. No more office spaces, no more Creature Carl plushies, no more company sponsorships...how did a couple of guys playing video games and talking just completely do a 180 and become so vapid and dull and lifeless? Now with the money thing, I can understand that everyone has to earn money these days, and maybe putting their certain skills to use for profit is not so bad in their minds. But I think everything has been slowly turning more capitalist in nature than they're willing to admit. It's turning into just another corporate shell now.
And so much of the energy is gone, you know? I think most of it left when Sly, Seamus, and now Dex left the group. The Creatures are missing something big right now, and they're not going to find it in the safes of a bank. Nor are they going to find it by randomly adding new people, putting them into videos, and seeing what sticks. Where's the effort? Where's the fun? Where's the content that I started watching The Creatures for? Oh and also, where's the interactions with the fans?
Good luck to you, Dex. I truly mean that. You weren't just another goon or anything, you were a Creature. And whatever you choose to be next, wherever you go, don't forget that there's always somebody who's going to be behind you 100%. Also, don't forget to wipe your bum.
They became sell outs. Money is the objective with them.
funny cuz I still watch Seamus and Max more than the active Creatures. It seems like after someone leaves the group, they become more interesting.
what about sly
+Project_RoninHD No.
+Project_RoninHD sly is legit exception
+Project_RoninHD sly was ok, but he seems too hyper. he is like a terrier.
+mr assassin i think aron and joe are fine, they have defined personalities. They just aren't as close to my heart as the others that have been there for years.
intern Joe loved and probably still loves you
I knew the Creatures would slowly die. They're no longer a community of friends, they're materialistic businessman.
+MeliorIlle I agree. When they first announced they were making it a business a few years ago I was happy for them but after Gassy left (or well...kicked out really IMO at least) I saw what was coming.
🐮🔪
+MeliorIlle theyre not slowly dying tf?
+FrostKnigh you know Aron Joe James and Aleks left the creatures to make cow chop right?
+Itsmejp that's not slow. that's like hitting Mach 5
Really appreciate the honesty. From the Creatures standpoint, it is important for the company not to have a bad rep. But, it's an asshole move to lecture you when, as you said, they do worse things. From this video we can see really clearly that The Creatures is a business/brand now, not that group of friends who want to have fun playing video games back then. After all these years, Chilled was right.
That "boss" mentality that mainly Jordan has brought the falling out for them imo. Specially that now The Creatures is a business and not a group. I will not be surprised if James and Aleks leaves the group right now. It seems that they are the only ones left that actually just wants to play games with friends, have fun, and entertain. If you've seen the content in Cow Chop and the "content" that's in the Hub, you'll see the difference.
I'll continue to support you even if you're not a Creature anymore. I find you really entertaining rather than 80% of what's left of The Creatures.
Eh, i still enjoy the Creatures' content, but as you said, it's pretty apparent they've become a business, and i also wouldn't be surprised if James and Aleks left to just work on Cow Chop. I think the Creatures would be cool people to hang out with, but not to work for.
+Jonas Lipat Dex made clear he four bosses. James and Aleks are hardly perfect just because you want them to be.
I think alex and james are paving a way for them to break away
+Jonas Lipat Chilled's departure was a portent for things to come in the following 5 years.
James and Aleks MIGHT (this is just a prediction of the current state that the group is in) leave the creatures if cow chop is big enough because it is pretty possible for them to start their own group on their own. I doubt that will happen though since they are linked with a bunch of other big channels now.
This is a recurring theme throughout all the creatures that have left.
The problem with the creatures is that it just was a group of friends in the beginning playing games, and the synergy was awesome. But it turned into a company that had to make money. Which led to pressure, stress, forced content, acting and irritations within the group which has cost them some vital members they really couldn't substitute. Aleks was a good addition, but the others were really average. Sp00n and Ze were vital for the synergy too, but were kinda exluded bc they didn't live there. Being forced to work together face to face everyday is a whole different story than playing games a couple of nights together via teamspeak.
I'm telling you. Dex should join Cow Chop.
HELL FUCKIN YEAHHHHHHH
He'd be great for the Wrong Side of UA-cam series
Friendship into business 😞
I feel sad after watching this. Im sorry for you Dex, honestly you were my favorite creature, because you weren't a push over. You didn't really give a shit about anything.
Thank you so much for confirming what a lot of us have speculated for a long time: the real side of the "Creatures" that are left, manipulating you, the hypocrisy etc. Good on you getting away from them Dex.
since day 1 i always knew something been off with jordan and dan. never really liked them for shit. whats so funny is a lot of COOL youtubers who joined the creatures left because of who JORDAN AND DAN. BOTH are always in the mix of shit and always involved with people departing from the creatures. dex however, i like along with james aleks seamus and sly. Dex the realest one. i like dex because he tells it how it is and MAJORITY people cant even be honest about shit.
i can agree. everytime a creature member departs its because there was always conflict with that person with jordan and dan. plus dex does tell the truth lol luv him for it.
ZC FANS you kinda just said what he said.
You earned a subscriber. You liked the old creatures basically. Outside of work having fun being u. Thats what the old creatures were about. Now that it is a company they turned it into a chore just to be there.
Honestly, I think I see where you're coming from Dex. I do see a bit of a power-tripping vibe with some of the boss-creatures. Now-a-days, I only enjoy watching James and Aleks on their CowChop Channel or James' channel... Just know I'll be watching your content still!
I like you, you don't hide from shit. Thanks.
thanks for being honest about them I often questioned why people left the group but now I understand
Sounds like the creature office is worse than any of us have imagined previously. No wonder they're declining, the way they're handling the group must be extremely exhausting and cause a lot of negative tension.
Your honesty is seriously so refreshing, Dex. I don't always understand your british humour, like a bunch of other creatures fans did, but you are you and I never got pissy at you about it. Good for you for leaving on relatively good terms and pursuing what you want and what makes you happy. Keep on keeping on dude :)
I feel like Aleks and James are making cow chop so when they leave they have something to work together on and make more money. Like if you agree
+james williams But their set is at the office
+LegacyHD but they don't have to have it family friendly since it's a different channel
FearlessPenguin I know that but that does not mean they are leaving the creatures.
+LegacyHD Well they just made a video where they are moving the Cow chop set up somewhere else.
+Clogged Toliet I'm just wondering if people agree. Leaving a like on the comment doesn't benefit me in any way.
I normally hated Dex, but I think it was the light The Creatures put him in. This video was very eye-opening. Much luck to you Dex, with your new life and the future.
For the family friendly part, I was never really sure if they were trying to be family friendly or not.
Like Jordan would try to act really family friendly and then all of a sudden Spence comes in saying "Tuck in your balls".
I could tell Dex was uncomfortable as fuck in that office. There's more and more weird vibes I can sense from that place every day. Good to have the real Dex back!
Man I'll be honest... when the Creatures moved into the office, their content quality stared declining. The Creatures was the best when it was just a bunch of best friends living in a house together, playing games, and having the time of their lives.
do you not remember the livestrames with James and Alex and sly and Seamus? that was awesome
Samantha Diep and that's exactly what James and Aleks aimed for when they started Cow Chop. Just a bunch of guys screwing around in a house
People said it from the beginning but i guess its really true now, jordan and dan ran that company into the ground
I can't believe Chilled was right from the start. Making The Creatures into a business was a bad move.
Yeah Chilled got off the ship before it sunk
Make a cringe factor of the 420 video they did
TLDR: Dex joins creatures, have fun as freinds, move to America to be with them, creature "Bosses" Boss him around and force him to be not himself and shit, not what Dex thought it would be instead of freinds playing games and having fun together but instead get bossed around and kept as a side goon. (although James was cool to Dex).
Also Dex's "Quitting" is just him saying UA-cam is more of a Hobby so he wont be doing it full time.
this. is. amazing, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I understand completely, I I highly support you in the direction you are taking in life. Hope you do good in life Dex!
It must've been difficult to make this, Dex. You were by far my favorite creature for the short stint you were in the office, and it was always pretty clear you weren't comfortable in the office. Sorry you had to deal with them. Best of luck! I love your channel and I'm gonna stick around.
Honestly, I completely agree with you. I am the same way, I hate censorship. You do you, Dex, you do you.
