TGWTG really is starting to fail, as I predicted a couple of years ago. Most of their popular 'critics' are moving away from the site/have their own site/moved on/hardly update; so they have to get...this kind of thing. If you want to make money off of reviewing things or lets plays...fine you can go do that...but it's only temporary work. For some of these reviers (like Linkara) this is their only income...so yeah...didn't plan that one out too well....
Nostalgia Critic should just wave the white flag with the pole up his anus in front of the AVGN's lawn and join ScrewAttack. He's getting nowhere with Channel Awful.
If I remember right, I think he's co-founder of Chanel Awesome, with his brother and another person who built and ran the other site. The problem is...well...people grow up and move on with things, his 'big hit' reviewers are leaving/don't post much/have their own site or killed themselves (JewWarrio). I think moving sites hurt them as well because man-children their fans don't like change.
http://imgur.com/a/xp8qy#0 This whole gallery is a goldmine. Some of this might be old news to you, but it's amazing A few greatest hits if you don't click on the link: -Phelous and Brad Jones have been trying to leave. -James Rolfe wants nothing to do with the site anymore -Spoony is bipolar. His brother shot a guy in the face. -Linkara really does go "HMMMMMMMMM?" a lot -The Nostalgia Chick is working on a project with Anita Sarkeesian -Doug seriously thinks he's the next Spielberg -The Walker brothers fight a lot -They tried to set up a TGWTG vs. Red Letter Media feud like the Nerd vs. Critic storyline. Mike and Jay from RLM turned it down. -A lot of the props in the anniversary movies were stolen -Linkara, the supposed "enlightened feminist", creeped on a college classmate. Said classmate started a thread on SA making fun of his comic, and he "became a feminist" after a rape scene creeped her out even further -(not in the link but it is interesting) Remember all those jokes about Iron Liz actually being a man? Well, she actually was, and she was pre-op when she dated Linkara -The new set for Demo Reel and the Nostalgia Critic is just an empty warehouse -THEY'RE ON TRACK TO GET MORE POPULAR THAN EVER WTF -(also not in link) MTV TRIED TO BUY THEM OUT. M. T. FUCKING. V.
Yeah, I once read that in the original contracts of TGWTG, to stay employed with Chanel Awesome, a reviewer had to produce at least one video a month. If I remember right, Spoony is the one who disclosed this. However looking at the site, it seems that many of the older cast like Nostalgia Chick and CR infrequently upload; skipping moths at a time. CR only produced 7 videos last year. Now...I'm not gonna lie...I've watched and enjoyed some of the content of the site, (aka I'm a fag) and I do get a laugh in the content that I want to watch, and lets face it...there isn't much to watch anymore...not that there was in the first place. I do have some more information about Linkara: there was a video produced by that Transgender Chick...can't remember her name, watched an old porno cartoon called Chirpy: it's about a chick (baby chicken) and a horse doing it and he looked barely interested in it: http://channelawesome.com/a-magfest-audience-reacts-to-chirpy/ He was playing on his Gameboy during it...talk about unprofessional hrmmmmmmm~ I also read that he hates anyone who drinks. Most of the ones I have watched have moved on to other sites or moved on with their lives and that's great, I'm happy for them but if all this stuff is true from the previous post...well then they're not really running their business right and they may not be doing this in the next two years or so.
I'll read through this gallery later. It's kinda interesting you posted this today, a part of my dream just last night involved TGWTG shadiness. I was walking through a city and wound up at an apartment hallway, where I found multiple members of TGWTG clique lived, in separate rooms across the hall from each other. I turned around and saw Doug Walker, who seemed highly distressed, and was babbling incoherently, pacing around the hall manically. It was as if he had seen, or done something really really bad, and was either mad with guilt, or fear for his own well-being. When I walked up to him to ask him what was wrong, without even looking at me, he shoved me, then quickly walked back to his room, and shut the door. Needless to say, I was creeped the fuck out. I'm sure it's just a coincidence tho.........
nostalgia critic did a few really funny things but for the most part all of it is the kind of shit that keep flaming throwers legal.
Oh wow, there was a thread here about it afterall. That said... Not a surprise. Yeah he has a life and a shitty movie but was far better than Doug's turds combined. Spoony's brother is either a cop or ex-cop. Spoony himself is just messed-up/autistic/legitimately insane. I love how he dates April, he kinda needs her so he can stay somewhat sane. He's had his own site for a while and 'left' Channel Awesome and is doing pretty decent for himself surprisingly. His Twitter is always fun to watch with some good Sriracha popcorn. Not surprised either. Nostalgia chick is the definition of 'liberal hipster.' I always wanted to just piss on her thoughts and spam the libertarian view, but I knew that would be way too much effort than it's worth. Doug's work was passable back then, now it's just fucking dreadful. He's in lockstep with every other thing on the media ever now. Token black guy, woman and RANDUMB IZ FUNNY punchlines and all. Good. Why were they stolen? Collectors value? Yeah that will sell. Linkara is the closest thing to lolcow on the site so no surprise. Got a link to either of these? Anyway... Where else would you put his autism that nobody cares about? [/QUOTE] You- You're just fuckin' with me.
