Pants Donkey posted:Apparently they really want to test Brad. That's kinda the mental game I've been playing throughout all this: "Okay, will this be the thing that breaks Brad? No? Let's go deeper then." Like, I think at this point I'm gonna unsub from Brad just on principle, regardless of whether he finally cuts ties with CA or not. I'm losing buckets of respect for him the further this goes, Sage too for that matter.

DoctorGonzo1969 posted:Apologies for the double post but I went to check CA's site and Angry Joe isn't listed on there anymore. Welp. Now the pressure's really on Brad and Bennet. They're literally the last two big names left on the site that aren't Doug. So congrats to them, I guess, for managing to stay aboard the Titanic up to the point where the lights flick off and the boat splits in two. You did it, guys!

DoctorGonzo1969 posted:MasakoX isn't on the site anymore either, by the way. That leaves 9 producers left. I do hope Brad and Bennett find a measure of solace and solidarity with their remaining peers... Blockbuster Buster and Toons These Days. In the meanwhile, I've dropped both of them on my YouTube subscriptions and it'll be a long loving while before I ever reconsider re'upping them or plugging anything they do even if they leave Channel Awesome now anyway. E: Like, I mean at least Larry hemmed and hawed about maybe leaving the site before he apparently chose to stay on. So I don't know if that makes it better or worse than Brad proudly planting his flag atop Mt. Michaud or Bennett's utter radio silence on the matter. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Apr 12, 2018 |

GoneRampant posted:Someone here in the last thread said that Larry admitted to them in private that he hates CA and is only staying to watch the fireworks and implosions from within. He's said on Twitter that he doesn't feel comfortable leaving now as (since he was never a big name producer) it would feel to him like he's just riding the coat-tails of the producers who paved the way. ...Neither of those are good excuses for staying at this point, honestly. I don't particularly care what way he ultimately goes, I was never really a fan of Larry's anyway, but the absolute last window to leave is closing rapidly, if not already closed thanks to The Response. We'll see just what kind of disaster their video address turns out to be. But in my books, anyone who's still up on that site by Saturday evening, I'm officially done with and have lost all respect for.

Linear Zoetrope posted:What's the worst thing they could possibly try? Skits where they impersonate and mock former CA staff to "recreate" what "actually" happened? Probably somewhere on the scale between the Christine O'Donnell "I'm not a witch..." video, or the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster apology video, or >run Zuckerberg.exe/I_am_[ADJECTIVE]_sorry,_humans_re:Facebook.mp4. Some schmaltzy thing of Doug staring into a soft focus lens in front of a gray dapple backdrop and talking in what he assumes to be a pleasing yet conciliatory tone about Certain Misconceptions, while not actually saying anything or apologizing for anything either.

Basically, if they're forcing Malcolm and Tamara to be a part of it instead of plunking Doug's doofy rear end down alone in front of a camera in his living room and having him wing it, then whatever video statement they put out is 100% going to be some over-produced tone deaf fart that you would almost mistake for parody at first blush. E: corn in the bible posted:Yeah, I put Bennett in the dumb gif I made because he looks funny and I figured, gently caress it, it's only a matter of time anyway. But he's still there. He will always be there. Clearly, it should have been Joe

corn in the bible posted:I wonder if Larry or Brad is the "fifth shareholder" they mentioned in that response. It'd explain not leaving no matter what, because they have a stake in the company. Larry has claimed repeatedly that Michaud and the Walkers have to be reminded that he even exists so he’s technically not even on the site, despite him being one of literally eight names left attached to it now, but his reasons for just not leaving, even after all this are ringing hollower and hollower. I don’t know or care what Brad’s deal is anymore. With Bennett pulling the cord this morning, he’s won the race to be the last man on the Titanic before the ship slips beneath the surface and he can ride its hulk all the way down to the sea floor as far as I’m concerned. DoctorGonzo1969 posted:I'm not even sure they know who Larry even is or that he's even on the site. Larry, for context, is Larry Bundy Jr, aka Guru Larry. He does videos on video game history and obscure facts. They’re actually quite well researched and informative and Larry’s pretty drat funny himself, but yeah ^^^ all of that bullshit up there. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Apr 12, 2018 |

business hammocks posted:I am kind of tickled at the thought of CA internal discussions getting reduced to a sombre old friend taking things very seriously and stressing out at every step down into the abyss and a grinning British troll nobody even realized was there a month ago. It would be like if Groucho were in the bunker with Hitler. Like, at this point I'm legit surprised that Michaud hasn't booted Larry off the site in a fit of rage. Because that would kind of rule, to be honest; Larry making the fractional remnant of Channel Awesome so mad at his in-house dunking that they sever from him

I am Reverend posted:Out of curiosity i watched a blockbuster buster video since he's the only contributor whose shows are still on the site I didn't recognize and he's like if an angry internet critic was designed by a neural network. He even talks the same way every bad reviewer does where they put all the emphasis on the last word in the sentence. Welshy and Panda put out a "poo poo TGWTG Producers Say" video years ago as they were on their way out the door following the Allison/Chez Apoc exodus, and Blockbuster Buster's lone segment was Panda deadpanning "Everything he does is poo poo..." And I've never seen anything since that refutes that one.

DoctorGonzo1969 posted:So something I'd found was apparently a writer for Salon wants to interview Matthew Buck about the CA stuff They're a mid-level left-leaning internet news magazine akin to Slate, or The Daily Beast known for think pieces and political commentary. Something you'd normally only run into on r/politics or cable news morning shows, or, god help you, D&D. Though for the Internet Critic/Ex-Channel Awesome crew, it's probably up there near the apex of expectation for "traditional media" exposure.

I know he did improv for like a minute, and there was that PBS commercial from like ten years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUhTevBnqbE This is why I said that Doug's more a comedian than a critic. Like, yeah he's dim and doesn't get basic poo poo, but the dude has charisma, can sell a joke, and can put up a likeable front when need be. He just needs a proper writer and director guiding him to make the most of his talents.

Pretty much the only stumbling block to Doug landing on his feet after all this is whether he can spin a good answer to any inevitable questions that'll come up about Mike Michaud. But honestly, obsessing over anyone from CA's future career prospects is weird and creepy and tabloidy to the max. Seriously, why the hell do you people let Bibbs lead you down these dumb garden paths? I just fuking can't
