It's a sad day in the Internet Entertainment World...

Sorry for all the posts, but things just keep popping into my head.

Lately, I'm finding that I can't even make it through a Linkara video. I never liked his "story" stuff, which he mercifully started moving to the end of the reviews, but now I pretty much can't even stand the sound of his voice.

I also can't stand Bennett the Sage. He's CONSTANTLY using words he obviously doesn't know the definition of (Atypical does NOT my the same thing as typical :mad:). Given his close ties with Spoony, I wonder if he will be sticking around. I wouldn't miss him if he didn't.

Finally, I still can't stand the Blockbuster Buster. He's like a version of Angry Joe if he had no talent.

I find Linkara's stuff to just be kinda boring, even as someone who's been into comics on and off for a long time. Bennett, to me, seems to just be one of those "I don't like it 'cause people like it" kind of guys. He talks like he's knowledgeable but I feel like he's pulling a lot of things out of his ass. Dude trashed Grave of the Fireflies and motherfucking Akira. I know they're not perfect movies, but damn, they're still good.

I loved that he did his Grave of the Fireflies review at the same time that JessOtaku was doing her Studio Gibli retrospective, and they had the polar opposite reactions to the movie.

Sage has ties? I think you mean Cinema Snob. Spoony hosted his videos for awhile and gave him tons of links before CS made it on TGWTG.

Linkara... well, he's Linkara. He's probably the most consistent of reviewers (I don't think he's EVER missed a week, even when he and Iron Liz broke up) and he's good at finding material. Honestly, I think he should focus more of getting History of the Power Rangers done, as that kind of detail oriented commentary is by far what he's best at.

I wondered why Iron Liz stopped showing up on TGWTG.

Sage is the one who actually played through the FF games for Spoony to get footage for his reviews.

Being a huge comic nerd, I want to watch Linkara's videos.

Unfortunately, their running time is just absolutely ridiculous. His latest one was a flipping hour. Nostalgia Critic's videos have gotten lengthier than when he started, too, and I find I don't enjoy them as much as a result. Nostalgia Chick's the only one I've consistently enjoyed, because she's managed to edit down her videos' runtime to 15 minutes or less.

I don't mind the ones that hit 20-30 minutes as long as they're entertaining. Linkara's tend to drag for me, and NCritic it just depends on the movie/amount of screaming.

I'm not into the subject matter much (Japanese import games/movies) but I love watching JewWario's videos. He's just so delightfully dorky.

I agree about the length of the reviews. Many of Phelous and Lupa's reviews run from the 30-45 minute mark, but you never feel like it's dragging on because it's pretty much consistantly entertaining.

Then again, I'm partial to Phelous for the reason most of you are partial to Lupa.

Liz didn't stop showing up on TGWTG because of the breakup. They both agreed it was for the better and are apparently still on good terms. No, she left because she decided that it wasn't right for her to be basically living off her parents while doing her reviews, even if she WAS bringing in money with them because it was nowhere near enough for her to live on her own. She talked about possibly studying for the entrance exams for a police academy, but that was months ago... her situation may have changed if she's been making cameos.

I liked her, I wouldn't mind seeing more of her.

Her crossover with Lupa for Gooby is one of the best videos I've seen.

Apparently wikipedia reported Spoony as dead today. He is not.

Actually, he seems to be really fuckin' energetic these past few days...and chipper as fuck. It's like watching old school Spoony again.

Cheeeeerist, is he still bitching about Scarlett?

He uses his real name in Twitter and his web handle. Any girl who might give him a chance can easily stumble onto these ravings, realize what will probably happen if they ever break up, and not bother with him. There is zero to gain from bitching endlessly about your ex in public.

And this latest (at the time of this posting):

I'm gonna tell myself to run screaming from any ginger who crosses my path. Save myself a lot of pain.

Curious how he'd have phrased that if Scarlett had some other prominent physical trait, like a different ethnicity than Spoony's.

I really wish he'd stop acting like this. I don't know what he's gonna do if he fucks up so much that his site loses traffic, can't pay his end of the rent, and he has to get a job out there.

Oh. I see the tweet now. Stuff to tell himself in the past.

He was doing so good! He hasn't even hit on ladies in the past few weeks. :p

Lupa has posted about the whole spoony thing saying that she let things get to far and that she still thinks that Spoony is a good person and all that. She was basically calling for the fans of both Spoony and Lupa to stop harrassing either of them.

His Spooniness did the same:
Okay everyone, I just want to make it clear that Lupa did not get me fired, nor was she in any way linked to my departure from TGWTG.

My personal issues with Lupa went public and quickly got out-of-hand, for which we are both to blame. I was crude and disingenuous, and provoked her to anger, which quickly pushed things too far.

We both want the bickering to end. As far as I'm concerned, our argument is over and done with. We're both moving on, and we just want the anger to stop.

Considering he was with Scarlett for a year and he's not over her a year and a half after the break-up... yeah, gonna be a while.

At the risk of snappy, I don't there's a time limit on 'getting over' someone/thing. There is a point where it becomes unhealthy, true (and he seems to have hit that wall)...but it can also just take a while depending on how deep the wound is.

I'm using myself as an example. I really do feel for him.

Hopefully, now that he has been diagnosed and is switching medications, he can begin recovery. Bipolar is a nasty bit of business.
