Doug has upgraded cameras at least once. The issues with the specials are more things like lighting and set design than recording quality.

From all accounts, Doug is apparently the kind of Luddite who stubbornly refuses to try to learn anything new, even if it consists of "push this button."

IMO the problem is less what LK did in the situation that led to their demodding than the fact they put together a 26+ point post responding to their demodding instead of simply walking away. This obsession with being right in a pointless conflict is the main driver of bad posting, dragging out arguments that could be finished in one page to three or more.

Doug seems like the hapless loving idiot who would need to outsource basic running of things honestly. It seems to also be true that he wouldn't even think of that. This is a dude who thought spraying pepper spray into a sink and not considering the splashback was a good idea.

yeah i dunno why brad hasn't upgraded. what is he even using - his videos are worse than a camera phone in quality.Inspector Gesicht posted:Joseph Anderson on Minit: i think joey anderson is the only reviewer where i've agreed with everything they put out. i felt like i was on crazy pills when everyone was praising "inside" and his review was a little breath of fresh air. haven't played minit yet so i guess i'll hold off on watching. but yeah not being able to say mario right is the worst bit of his reviews. made the odyssey one painful to sit through even though i agreed with it.

I always remember that when watching Kickassia, because every once in a while I'd realize "holy poo poo, they are doing {whatever they are doing} at someone's house" and it just felt embarrassing to watch. Like, screaming at each other with your hands out, in front of a window, whose light is blowing out the special effects you'll be adding later.

Holy poo poo. I am loving blown away. I don't even know how you don't pick that stuff up by osmosis after a decade. I've been at it that long (not on YouTube, but starting back with filmed sketch comedy in college) and it's night and day, the difference between then and now. And he's been on real ("real") film sets before, he's had cameos in other people's work outside of his bubble, there's no way he hasn't encountered basic amenities while doing so. Even if he doesn't think "craft services" are needed, how do you have people on set for over 12 hours and not stop and even just go "Hey, does anyone want some pizza? I'm gonna order up like six, what do people want?" Koalas March posted:OH MY GOD AND NOT OWNING THE RIGHTS TO HIS OWN CHARACTER Honestly, this is the most mindblowing thing to me.

I've thought about that too, that's about the only rationale I can come up with for why he'd still have such awful video quality, if it's part of his "schtick" by now. Maybe if he put a filter on it similar to RLM's Best of the Worst intro or something it'd feel more... I don't know, intentional?

Filming anything is an inherently collaborative process. like you aren't fuckin Kubrick (and even he had a drat crew!) his hubris and stupidity will be legendary and I suspect a What-Not-To-Do for up & coming content creators for years to come.

I'm guessing he signed over the rights at the point where TGWTG/Channel Awesome was incorporated as a legal entity, before any of his (many) characters had taken off so the magnitude of the decision wouldn't have been blindingly obvious (and Doug, as we know, sometimes misses even that).
