Neddy Seagoon posted:Probably more like Channel Awesome revenue + youtube revenue is a living wage but youtube revenue alone isn't. Bet there’s some bad news coming about Channel Awesome revenue though. Especially if they can’t just limit themselves to just two horrible responses and have to do a video that’s at best going to turn out like the Trump pussy-grab video. At worst it will be the parody video someone imagined above where they reenact what “really” happened by making their two actors play Holly Brown as a drooling yokel in a straw hat and overalls who can’t read a contract, or Lindsay in an ss uniform with the female symbol in place of the skulls.

Remember when Doug had a tantrum about Tommy wiseau flagging his The Roomvideo so he made a response video where he Put on a bad wig and yelled in a bad polish accent for twenty minutes? I'm betting their video response will be like that except with Doug playing everyone else.

I like Guru Larry and had no idea he was part of Channel Awesome. That's disappointing. I probably didn't know this because I haven't visited CA's website more than once or twice because I have always found the Nostalgia Critic to be completely insufferable. Watching him screech loudly and pretend to fire a gun in poorly lit amateurish videos makes me bleed from my ears and eyes. Thank God we don't have smellovision or else it would be offensive to all of my senses. e X posted:True, but there is a difference between having a personal, subjective admiration for something and being obsessed with it. Like, if SMB3 was such an important game to him, good for him, but that doesn't mean that everything that everything published past 1989 is crap. Hell, even that would be fine if he had any arguments for it that isn't just Jocks Moviebob needs to get over highschool. Goddamn. He should love Ready Player One because he's as much of a pathetic neckbeard as Ernest Cline is. He makes me want to go play some Madden and Halo.

Apparently Tamara and Malcolm tweeted near identifical refutations of the claims. https://twitter.com/TamaraLChambers/status/984280859242106880?s=19 https://twitter.com/MalcolmtheRay/status/984285932995207169?s=19 Feels like they're quoting right from a Michaud press release. Tamara's account had one extremely close to Malcom's in wording but it was deleted. Sad to hear assholes are apparently hounding them as well. They don't deserve it as they're locked into contracts.

I kinda wish we were privy to the response CA made to each contributor who left. I'm curious if CA tried to persuade people to stay or if it was just a "kay" response. It really seems like they're attempting to only make themselves look good, which is really looking like they're focused solely on the youtube channel and Nostalgia Critic.

Back in the day, when it was pretty active, I was a semi-regular on Spoony's forum. A lot of other CA folks posted there at the time. One thing I remember is that there was one guy with a weird, random account name who was apparently Michaud. Either he said he was, or other people confirmed that he was, or both, but in any case, pretty certain it was him. Anyway, he had like 20 posts and all of them were pretty much just him coming out of nowhere to go off on people who posted mild criticism of CA. I don't think I ever had any interaction with him though, just noticed him going off on other folks. Also, I'm half-expecting the video response to feature the return of Douchey McNitpick or whatever he was called.

Just look at how easy it is to stop or slow the bleeding after stabbing yourself repeatedly. You can’t reverse damage or repair a relationship, but just by sincerely taking responsibility it is possible to just end it and then you can keep going. And they couldn’t even do that.

As someone who never really paid attention to Channel Awesome in the past, I've certainly learned some interesting things in the past week or so. Like them filming a movie in the desert and not giving their actors water or even paying them, and having a scene in a movie where Linkara rapes Lindey Ellis. What the gently caress?!

Michaud once heard that when caught in a scandal you should never admit wrongdoing, because that's a thing that big corporations and CEOs do right? Like, it's an awful enough thing to do on its own, but I've never imagined that someone could be so bad at it.

An essay about John Wayne and his movie "The Cowboys" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia95Yl0fu-Y Oh and if anyone is interested in John Wayne/Mccarthyism/anything Hollywood history I recommend the "You Must Remember This" Podcast. It's amazingly well made and probably my favorite podcast out there. I would start with the Charles Manson season but it's all really, really great.

Alacron posted:Michaud once heard that when caught in a scandal you should never admit wrongdoing, because that's a thing that big corporations and CEOs do right? The amazing thing here is that the wrongdoing is largely just "we were crappy and rude and bad at our jobs." Like, admitting that you maybe weren't the best at running a website with 40+ contributors scattered over the globe isn't exactly criminal admission. There's a few in there that are much more delicate, but they could just straight up mea culpa everything else because promising a newsletter and then cancelling it after two months isn't a crime.

Yeah that really is the amazing part in all this. If CA had outright admitted they are/were bad at running things it might have blown over. I mean they have the perfect excuse of not being experienced early on. Instead they seem to want to double down on the awful behavior.

He didn't get to join though because he missed a Skype call. When I first heard about Pan's experience with that Skype call thing I got the impression that Michaud didn't care for bringing new people on but as the last month has revealed no he's like that to producers on the site.
