Spoony was such a supreme butthole narcissist, and he got everything he deserves. Literally if he just got over himself and accepted that some people would have a laugh at him he would just get back to being a youtuber instead of a drunk.
it's true. the greatest tragedy is that Angry Joe and Nostalgia Chick went onto become youtube millionaires while Spoony's mental and health issues sucked his soul out.
That said. 2024 is likely YEAR OF THE SPOONY!!!
All he had to do was keep making videos. That was it.
That's like expecting to quit your job and NEET out for a decade and still get paid as much as your old coworkers.
That's the difference between NC and Brad on one hand and Spoony and Linkara on another. The ones that make it learn to roll with the punches, the others seethe themselves into an irrelevant hobbit hole
Spoons was always a massive ass but always ahead of the curve. He was a regular streamer on Justin.tv before it was twitch tv but he never capitalized on it. Trust me: if spoony chillaxed a bit, and was a regular reviewer and streamer he would be raking in the cash now: like 250K a year minimum.
I agree actually. Spoony's content at his best was definitely a cut above the rest. He could actually write jokes and when he was passionate about something it really shined through. If he cut back on some of the cringe TWTGisms like the shitty skits and "references are funny" comedy he probably could have been Lindsay Ellis or Angry Joe-tier in popularity
Lindsay and Joe for all their faults kept grinding out material. Lindsay fell victim to the Spoony disease when a small contingent of twitter blew up at her. Because she was a twitter addict, and felt that the twitter elite were people whom she wanted the approval of, it caused her immense pain. Hint: don't try to base your self-worth on random strangers on the internet you haven't me.
when you look at the math, Lindsay was trending with 30K tweets, meanwhile she was getting 1 million views per video. It's not even given that any of these people were even her fans to begin with, but these were quite literally 3% of her audience at most. And it turns out, it was just defensive Asian-Amerians who form a kind of clique to attack anyone online who dares critique an Asian-American film. Which is why these amount to blasphemy charges, and can be used to settle petty grievances and scores. Lindsay looooved these hate crusades when she was on top, and never considered she would be a victim of them. like how the Bolsheviks ended up being mostly killed by Stalin.
Yeah Lindsay's case is pure hubris. Most people didn't give a shit but she'd invested so much of her ego into believing these were righteous crusades and not just petty Chinese fingertrap power squabbles that when those weapons were turned against her she just couldn't cope. She could never admit her whole stance was built on nothing but spite so she just pulled the plug. It's interesting on the flipside to consider how prone these communities are to self-cannibalism. It's like because they know their whole shtick is not based on anything real, it's just a rat race of performative outrage it naturally leads to resentment where they're only too eager to tear each other down. You could feel the vindictive glee in watching them tear her apart over nothing

There is nothing to do on twitter, literally nothing, so if you go "what can I do on twitter?" going into rage circles is the most obvious. They need someone once a week to rage at.
The best response is AVGN who simply ignored them, partly out of ignorance. So you have him and his video trending on twitter, but he's saying nothing in reply, so it's just Lindsay and her buddies shouting into the air.
More or less everyone was thinking what James was thinking: that Ghostbusters 2016 is lame and not interesting so they were gonna skip it. James is the only one who said that out loud. That is a big no-no, as that's effectively being against women in general, so they dog pilled him and shouted into the void.

Lindsay's (now deleted) video about her twitter cancelling was insane. To think that anyone gave a shit or needed so much detail, she was really super arrogant and out of touch.
Luckily she got off all social media and had a kid, she seems much happier in her rare online appearances.
>And it turns out, it was just defensive Asian-Amerians who form a kind of clique to attack anyone online who dares critique an Asian-American film.
It wasn't just them, there were also people who: >had a bone to pick with Lindsay over things she previously said or did, and saw an opportunity >could be Disney Adults, since Raya is a Disney film
Don't forget, the other reason this escalated was she brought this up while the StopAsianHate hashtag was trending, she compared Raya to Avatar the Last Airbender, came back, saw the shitstorm and said "I can see where if you squint I was implying all Asian-inspired properties the same". It was seriously bad timing and bad decision making
God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.
Brad must frick like a god, how does a bald manlet obsessed with vintage smut always have these babes clinging to his shoulder? b***h looks like she's practically grinding him under the table
He's like the smoothest guy on the entire TGWTG and could've fricked all of them. He used to be kinda fat but he looks a lot better these days with the bald head and the thinner body.
Spoony was such a supreme butthole narcissist, and he got everything he deserves. Literally if he just got over himself and accepted that some people would have a laugh at him he would just get back to being a youtuber instead of a drunk.
LordKat was right about everything and it's a shame he trooned out.
>LordKat was right about everything and it's a shame he trooned out.
LOL Lord Fat was nothing, and yes he's a pathetic weirdo so him trooning out is expected.
>him trooning out
Looks like a Decisive Spoony Victory to me...
This. Spoony won.
Twice as bright.
Half as long.
>I WENT TO GDC THE FOLLOWING YEAR SPOONY! I WENT TO GDC THE FOLLOWING YEAR! I HAD A CHANCE! A FRICKING! CHANCE!
>cuts his own dick
No LordKaat, you were always too mental to make it
LordKat is even more pathetic than Spoony, at least Spoony could occasionally make good content
It was a tragedy because Spoony was smarty funnier and more inciteful than the rest of them combined
>inciteful
iswydt
it's true. the greatest tragedy is that Angry Joe and Nostalgia Chick went onto become youtube millionaires while Spoony's mental and health issues sucked his soul out.
That said. 2024 is likely YEAR OF THE SPOONY!!!
If even Curtis from Phantasmagoria coudn't cure his autism then nothing will
All he had to do was keep making videos. That was it.
That's like expecting to quit your job and NEET out for a decade and still get paid as much as your old coworkers.
don't TELL him how to PLAY
You know, now is not a good time to smart ass him. Few times are, but now is REALLY not a good one.
That's the difference between NC and Brad on one hand and Spoony and Linkara on another. The ones that make it learn to roll with the punches, the others seethe themselves into an irrelevant hobbit hole
Don't you talk about me you son of a b***h!
It'll be out when it's out
I don't know who any of these guys are but they all look like they're plotting to kidnap a child.
They were the 1st generation youtube reviewers after AVGN created the genre.
As a boomer this picture has the same energy as the old Watchmen photo of has been heroes
See I know who AVGN is. I'm not familiar with the knockoffs.
AVGN and Spoony are 2nd gen. The first gen are basically nobodies who caught on. It was AVGN who popularized it.
You are contradicting yourself.
Because you are just an ignorant moron.
Did Spoony nuke his channel?
Uh.....no?

this channel has been shilling hard on Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile lately
THE LIGHTBRINGER!
last time this was linked I spent like half an hour laughing so hard my face hurt
Imagine the smell

I didn't think about it that way but it's pretty funny that Twitter brainrot made two TGWTG collaborators tank their own careers

Confidence can go a long way.
He's like the smoothest guy on the entire TGWTG and could've fricked all of them. He used to be kinda fat but he looks a lot better these days with the bald head and the thinner body.
I would make an epic Big Lipped Alligator reference and Doug would tip me $1 million anyway in Dougecoin, his personal crypto reserve
Wtf, Cinema Snob pulled a baddie!
Imagine the smell
Wow not a bad body at all
he's a tiny manlet so the proportions work in his favour
Literally who, who, who, and who?
LOOK THERE HE IS
