The Brows Held High dude actually seems pretty smart and well-adjusted which makes me wonder how he can stand to keep the company he does. He was on two failed clones of TWTG.com and was moving to a third that never got off the ground before he went to their site. He's always been the only thing worth watching on whatever site he's on.

he addressed this in his melancholia review

I tried watching one of those DnD videos from Spoony...but a 2 hour video of him saying how much better he is than everyone else is just the worst. :colbert:

What makes cinematography empty?

when it's used as a stylistic crutch, or in attempts to conceal the banality of the performances by wrapping them in a thousand layers of visual (and acoustic) processing

Not enough screaming and joke clips from old reviews.

Also, I just checked his site and noticed he just put up a review with Spoony, which means what Spoony was saying about leaving on his own volition and not being forced was true after all, lol.

I used to watch a lot of NC back in 2008 and then I saw that crazy longass review where there were tons and tons of internet reviewers there and it was scripted. AVGN was there and you could tell he was kind of embarrassed to be around all these other ACTUAL nerds

I think the only reason I still like AVGN is he seemed to grow up and adapt with his audience. Around the time all of us in the AVGN thread were like "monkey cheese poop jokes aren't funny anymore, cut that poo poo out James" was around the time he actually started to scale it back a lot. Looks like NC's still doing the same poo poo he did 6 years ago.

the best are probably these YT channels that pop up in the recommended section and the title is always some like "Is Link dead in Majora's Mask?" or something like that and I think the channel is called Game Theorists and it sounds awful. like hmmm i'm going to do the equivalent of looking at cave paintings and use that as proof of ancient aliens except w/ video game characters

same with movies except I think they do the Everything Wrong With X in 8 minutes or whatever. not sure what the content of the vids is but the title and general premise alone is enough to make me not give a gently caress

I liked the nostalgia critic after I finished high school around 2005 because in high school I was a mega dork in the anime club and people having fake outrage fits was like really funny to us and the nostalgia critic made me feel like I never grew apart from that group of friends. Now I don't like the nostalgia critic because when I think about myself in high school I literally cringe like I'll be on the subway and then I'll remember myself from back then and I can't help but screw up my face like I'm about to sneeze.
