I really enjoyed his State of Nowhere Live Wire here a couple of weeks ago. The game is dumb, but it's the sort of game he should be playing. Whenever he tries to play anything difficult and action-based, he ends up having a bad time and rage-quitting. His Lire Wires like Contradiction and Pathologic HD are the closest he's gotten to recapturing that Riff on Ripper magic since he stopped doing scripted videos. I hope he resumes it.

The amount of existential dread I feel when I think about Film Brain is almost too much to bear. He started making videos when he was still in high school and never stopped. Never went to college, never had a real job, never lived on his own, likely never had sex or offline friends. His very first video was filmed with the same backdrop as your pic. Now he's an old man with no hair and yellow teeth still doing this for 1.5k views a month. It's like a bad dream you can't wake up from. IDK how he faces the day without hard drugs.

How exactly did Douge & co choose who got to sit at the Channel Awesome table? There were probably dozens and dozens of media reviewers in the late 2000s was it just a friend of a friend kinda thing because I remember everyone went to the channel awesome site just to watch NC, Spoony, Linkara, Cinema Snob and Nostalgia Chick. Everyone else had middling views so I never really figured they were picked up due to being popular on YT

>>219086319
They were no doubt aiming only for the most talentless, cringe-inducing autismos to form the basis of their company.
Just for context, Jontron tried to get on Channel Autism but got turned down. They were like "no, this guy is actually funny, denied"

I have no insight, but I assume they just looked at the content and took people that seemed halfway competent and had at least a small library.
There were dozens on the site towards the end, but they were somewhere in the subgroups and not prominently featured.
>>
>>219086319
It wasn't Doug. The company was originally run by Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis and Barghav who got the idea to make an online TV station while they were Circuit City employees. The person in charge of recruiting and scheduling for the first 5 years was Mike Ellis, so that's who decided until he was pushed out of the company for sexually harassing employees and contributors (specifically Sean Fausz and Holly Brown, possibly others).
The process was that you submitted your work on the forums and he'd pick what he thought were the best ones. I think there were very few cases where contact was initiated by CA.
>>
>>219086319
i remember some 'competition' to find who would be the Nostalgia Chick, then he kept the other girl(s) on anyway?

they had their own video player on their own site (annoying watermark too, for some reason). seems weird now but not everything was YouTube, once. RedLetterMedia made money through Blip.tv, YouTube was just their mirror.

Yeah, also AVGN had a deal with some site I forgot the name of now but they'd get the new videos before YT. Basically those sites outside of YT made money through ads and what's funny and kinda sad is that the moment YT became a huge money maker for uploaders CA almost immediately fell apart. It was definitely the end of an era
>>
>>219086785
yeah way back when, YouTube had that 10 minute time limit and the quality was dogshit. plus they've always had tight censorship compared to self-hosting (or alternatives like Blip, RLM had their full/edgier videos there).

that 2005 Spore presentation on Google Video was mind-blowing. 50 minutes of kino jeux in one part. take me back, bros ;_;

Screw Attack i think it was.

hosting/bandwidth became cheaper, HTML5 added dedicated <video> tags (no Flash or Silverlight plugin shit). i naively assumed people would just start embedding videos on their own sites/blogs, same way web pages just have images.

it's insane to me we basically let one website have a monopoly on a whole medium.
>>
>>219087024
>we basically let one website have a monopoly on a whole medium.
they scaled storage and bandwidth in a way no small hoster could compete with. if you are starting out and don't know if you ever make any money, makes more sense to start on YT, because it is free and you get the network effects of new people finding your content.
but once you have an audience, you are trapped by the same network effect because you will lose audience by moving. Guntube started their own platform to get away from silly YT content restrictions, Nebula got started to get more money for the creators, some creators try to lure people into their patreon for content, but YT is still where the audience is you have to funnel into your "better" platform.

i enjoy her videos but there might be a layer of irony involved. these overly-academic interpretations are like Room 237 to me. borderline schizophrenic when someone is talking about queer-coded narratives in a Disney cartoon.

also it's funny how they're all obsessed with death of the author but then confidently insist their own view is correct, or the author's intent suddenly matters again once they're Problematic(TM).

>>219088320
at this point i can't even tell what's serious and what's self-aware parodying. e.g. 'the Bechdel test' was just a gag in a comic, the cartoonist had to outright explain it wasn't some serious litmus test.

and if these video essayists are being all analytical, what about when they're simply incorrect? Lindsay took down her Pirates of the Caribbean video, probably because of the weird coda where she declares that Johnny Depp is a monster IRL.

the Bechdel test had a point though, as many good jokes do. and it was a good shorthand, not a scientific tool.
But that is a big issue with these "essays". In ye olden days and still in old media, you have essays and counteressays and you can get a synthesis if you follow the whole debate. but no one wants a debate about the kind of media they review, we just want an entertaining video.
and if it is entertaining I don't mind if not all the points hold up to scrutiny or are even intellectually dishonest, as long as the overall tone is light and funny and not claiming to have some deeper moral message.
E.g. I don't mind is Jenny is "unfair" to some movie director or theme park builder, but John Oliver has become unwatchable crusading against police etc. And Sarah Z and Ellis seem to aspire to the latter style.

do you remember a time where there would be one nerd character in a movie and it would always be a one note joke comic relief side character? and where as a halfway normal person with nerdy hobbies you would roll your eyes at the laziness of it?

I imagine that is how women felt looking at movies where most women on screen had basically no agency and only existed in relation to men. some movies, that was fine. but overall pointing that out lead to more interesting female characters in the 90s.

oh yeah that's a good example of doin it rite.

i'm sure some anons have 10-bit HDR TVs and amazing eyesight and don't see the issue. but when people talk about getting away with worse CGI/makeup/costumes in night scenes, they mean the background orcs in Lord of the Rings. not a fucking pitch black screen.

obviously something like '[person] is a monster' is an opinion, it's not like you have to preface it with 'in my opinion...' every time. but the FACT is she doesn't know either way, if she's correct it's almost by coincidence.
that sort of declaration does reflect poorly on her other points: it's not an appeal to authority when this is (supposedly) the field she's an internet expert in. imagine an art critic telling you Van Gogh was a really happy and wealthy dude.

>>219088716
>the Bechdel test had a point though
i actually agree, it's an interesting point. but it becomes a problem when critics and writers became all hyper-aware of it and even over-correct the 'problem'. it's like wasting an afternoon on TV Tropes versus being irritatingly savvy about those cliches.

>I don't mind if not all the points hold up to scrutiny or are even intellectually dishonest
yeah, at the end of the day the internet isn't serious business. but we can criticize the criticism. as for entertainment value, i wish this lot did more VIDEO in their VIDEO essays. the only original content is them speaking to a camera in their room.
that Captain Disillusion guy is like the gold (or silver) standard IMO.

as in more clips from the movie? or as in "film yourself in more interesting locations"?
because the former is ofc a YT/dmca problem, the latter is just convenience.

>>219084390
You are right they had the correct idea that internet content catered to niche audiences was going to be big. But some of them actually felt like the autistic nerds like all of us were going to be the face of media. That they were going to spinoff these review shows into a level of celebrity and fame on the level with movie stars. I know it sounds retarded but some of them actually believed this.

just original content, really. i get the clips are relevant context. but you could do animation, 3D, diagrams, PowerPoint slides, give me SOMETHING or it might as well be text (which would take less time for me to read).

they're really pushing it with 'fair use' sometimes even if they're adding commentary. besides, if they slap in a meme/clip someone else made as a joke, they're not commenting on those, are they? they just took them, why not make their own shoops/image macros/whatever? OC?

I’ve met Doug on two separate occasions, both at gaming conventions.

He and a few of his crew were live-streaming MK8D at one of the playable consoles at the con. I just sat down next to them and played Tecmo Bowl NES during their entire stream. When the finished, Doug tapped me on the shoulder and said I was sitting on his jacket the entire time. I had no idea, he didn’t have an issue.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him I had ripped ass a few times.

10/10 experience with him.

100%, but I think the turn did not come quite as sudden.
I don't know why, but I got the vibe of a girl with no female role model of her. Unpretentious, no makeup, grey hoodie, just sitting in her room and talking to the camera about bad horror movies.
And I think over time she had the bad influence of the likes of Ellis and their coastal elite weird views and drank the cool aid a bit too much. Some straight up weird makeup and hair choices, the drama about CTC, marrying that weirdo Phelan and getting out of "Trumpistan", while continuing her ever shrinking channel.
Quite sad.

long shot but does anyone know what happened to Horikawa Otane? she did some Mario fan game stuff, guested in a few Raocow (O.G. Something Awful Let's Player) videos.

looks like she vanished from the internet after some guy was masturbating to her voice in videos. but then one day HER name randomly showed up in some Hbomberguy credits.

none of my business, but damn it i'm curious.
