Tentacruel Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 So I'm sure most of you have seen The Nostalgia Critic, but the site has a lot of other talented people. I'm personally a big fan of JesuOtaku and FilmBrain. Anyway, discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nostalgia Critic is horrible. He screams and swears, and swears, and swears like a 2nd grader at things that don't matter, his voice is irritating, and having to adjust my volume every 4 seconds because he starts screaming at the top of his lungs is a chore. His best review was the Alone in the Dark video where he didn't speak, I loved it when Retsupurae trashed him and Slowbeef called him the Irate Gamer multiple times before Diabeetus corrected him. I only watch Linkara because he does those Power Ranger videos and that sometimes, his comic reviews, mainly of comics by Frank Miller or Rob Liefeld, make me smile. Not because he makes a joke, because his jokes suck, but because of dialogue he points out in the comics themselves. That, and since his review is essentially reading the comic from start to end, it saves me money that could spent on the actual comic. He'd be a little funny if he would tone down the feminism and actually go into the comic's history at points without that annoying "continuity alarm." And, for Machismo's sake, stop with the storylines. They're boring and unfunny. Oddly, those live convention videos were kind of funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I like most of the people on CA even if i've seen very little of their stuff. Some are funny, some informative, some both, some...neither. But yes there's a lot of talent gathered there. I will watch WMR and RDA every week as well as JO's stuff (whatever it is/whenever it comes out). JO also led me to the D2brigade, all of whom were entertaining, but then they went and fell apart.

[/quote] Because NC has never ever stopped swearing and screaming. *cough*recapsingeneral*cough*top11s*cough*tributes*cough* I love them. I personally watch, besides NC and most of Doug's other types of videos, Paw, Phelous, Cinema Snob and the Nostalgia Chick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The Nostalgia Critic was excellent, but I do think Doug made the right choice in retiring him. I like JO, but I went through almost her entire backlog of videos in a couple days. I've watched some Spoony as well (basically just his Final Fantasy reviews), and he is incredibly talented...and not part of Channel Awesome anymore. I definitely should expand to watch some more producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I like the NC, but to be honest, I hate his fans. Go to any crossover video and you'll find half of the comments are people bitching that he has to share screen-time with someone who isn't as popular. Spoony's fans are almost worse, but I won't get into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I agree with Mchismo that TGWTG sucks but I disagree with why. I don't believe swearing is bad and in fact I find it entertaining. However I tend to hold grudges for a long time and after what they did with TJ I refuse to even look at that site ever again. Besides many of their stuff is boring to me and I never found it at all interesting, in fact the only reason I DID go on there in the first place was TJ. Imho TJ was one of the epitome's of that website and with him not there, my need to be there is gone. I will always be a fan of TJ, I just never get bored of his dickery.

Phantom Roxas Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Interestingly enough, Linkara apparently has a low opinion of The Irate Gamer. Linkara is my favorite contributer, but I loved watching The Nostalgia Critic. I watch Radio Dead Air live every week as well, and I'm also a fan of JesuOtaku.

Tentacruel Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 That's fine and all, but you really can't fault ALL of the producers at TGWTG for TJ leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 So let me get this straight, Izaya: The Amazing Atheist / The Distressed Watcher is hilarious for being a douche in-character, like a bunch of other producers on the site, but apparently it's okay that he's an offensive jerk in real life as well while the other producers and at least decent people who have limits?

The Dark Knight Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I love/loved the Nostalgia Critic and I am really bummed that Doug retired the character. I enjoy Spoony and Nostalgia Chick. I cannot stand FilmBrain. Everyone else I either haven't watched or don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm actually happy about it. We'll get to see Doug do something else with his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Unclean One: VK Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I only like: Spoony, too bad Lupa and some other people forced him out for a joke over a month old Sage, I love his anime abandon and his hat Todd, I share many opinion on music with him though I do like Lady Gaga Filmbrain, he's funny CinemaSnob, true hilarity here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Spoony's departure was due to more than just that, and really, Lupa and JO got plenty of undeserved flack for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Spoony's departure was due to an full-blown mental breakdown. Lupa just happened to be the final trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?someone? Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I like Linkara, JO, and the NC. Everybody else too, though mostly them. I think I identify with 80's Dan the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
