The feud is still going.
This photo really encapsulates just how shitty the world has gotten. Even something as silly as two internet personas beefing, compare this photo to the original. The old photo looked better, the people looked healthier.

>>223430712>The old photo looked better, the people looked healthier.damn, it's almost like younger people look younger and healthier...
>standing here>i realize
>>223430654Should I know who these e-celeb faggots even are?
>>223431166It's almost like young people remaining entrenched in childish pageantry to ignore the cowardice of refusing to risk well-being for freedom is...Not very adult, and leads to poor health
>>223431166The people in the background aren't the same people you tard
>>223431259is this your first day online?
>>223430654
>>223432541yes
>My audience today are the very same people that followed me at the beginning, and we're getting older together.Grim? Wholesome? I'm confused.
>>223430654It was pretty lame that they did their talk over a screen instead when they were together when they were at the same con sometime. It's not like this video couldn't have been pushed, it is the 20th of the feud next year after all. Cool to hear from Captain S, would have liked to hear from Rob and Mike too. I liked how they were positive about Chris despite all the nasty things he's said about James after they did their crossover video. Taking the high road is what I expect from these two gents.
>>223432541Not him and I'm delighted to note that I don't actually really know who the guy at right is, despite having used this board on a daily basis for over a decade. I just mentally block out the popular critic threads and have always disregarded them, or whatever they are. There's like two fat guys or something that are "red letter media" and that's as much as I know. The guy at left appears to be the angry video game nerd, I'm pretty sure I watched a few videos of his like eight or nine years ago but again, I don't seek this stuff out at all.I actually felt a bit dirty for getting slightly curious about that "Filthy Frank" business about five years back, to the point of learning some lore, but some of those clips were humorous. Remain pleased to note I couldn't tell you anything substantive about the others, apparently one guy refused the woman ghostbusters, that I got through sheer repetition on here but that's it.
OH MY HECKIN REDDIT GOLD MY FAVORITE BALDING, MIDDLE AGED ECELEBS DOING AN EPIC REFERENCE FROM 35 YEARS AGO
>>223430654>>223430989God look how fat everyone is now
>>223430989Internet culture peaked in the late 2000s.
>>223430654the shoot was a work
>>223433651I miss PBC. They should have at least just kept doing LMG. I think AVGN, NC, and Guru Larry are the only ones from that era that are relatively normal and still doing their thing without issue after all of these years.
>>223430654Never liked James. Never thought he was particularly funny. Doug has some talent. With good writing, he actually can seliver. Although I haven't watched him for years now.
>>2234337072 for 2 dodged transitioning, not the worst outcome
>>223433707this but unironically
>>223433707Yeah, its comfy to see
theres something deeply depressing about watching legacy youtubers get older balder and fatter and still continue doing the same schtick from 20 years prior
>>223433699> There's like two fat guys or something that are "red letter media" and that's as much as I know.Good boy. Here is everything you need to know in a nutshell about why you are right to ignore internet criticshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mArj6WvqzEbut at least NC and AVGN were different because they were supposed to be comedy; that is originally until they started to take themselves seriously because that's where the whole internet critic evolved into. I love it how they often act like they have all those ideas on how to make the films better, and then every single one of them with that kind of attitude that ended up making a movie, the movie ended up being shit.
>>223435549The legacy of the Reviewer Reviewer lives on.
>>223433757how dare you speak that way about the inventor of indie filmmaking
>>223430989>>223430654>Original has normal facial expressions>Remake has them making exaggerated angry frowns
report eceleb threads as off topic
>>223430654test
>>223435988this happened to me too
>>223430654>>223430989People really looked healthier and happier back then holy shit
>>223436024youre so right fat nerds simply didnt exist back then
>>223430654Imagine the smell.
>>223433707>DOING AN EPIC REFERENCE FROM 35 YEARS AGONigger, this basedboy image you’re mocking is damn near just as old.
>>223436024Taken in 2008 right when the recession was happening. Get your shit together, zoomies
>>223436069Taken came out in 2007, r-tard.
>>223436069People are going to look a hell of a lot more miserable once the Second Great Depression hits the world soon.
>>223430654Why do these dudes like like they are 60 years old?
>>223436024They're just old.Zoomers will also look more pathetic in 20 years
>>223430989>mfw i was in college when this picture was taken
>>223436221You have Butthurtfaggotitus Syndrome.
>>223435988it's called Flanderization, anon
>>223430654As they age it gets harder and harder to tell them apart.
>>223431427No shit. But his fans were younger when he first got on the scene, no?
>>223435988That frown has been James' thing since the start.
>>223435988The first one was taken while they were talking, while the second is a staged re-enactment
>>223430712the people who are 30 years younger? Wow what a revalation. stupid fuck
>>223430654>>223430989I saw Doug at Cleveland Gaming Classic
It all went to shit in 2011. Don't ask. Don't object. I just know.
>>223437807Nah 2012 was when Kony and BLM happened and that caused a domino effect into Gamergate and the hyper politicized world we inherited
>>223430712Things are better than ever. America doesn’t need to be great again. If we just can get democrats back in power things will be great. That older picture is just making you misremember things.
>>223430654God they look like two grandpas now
>>223437867Nah 2011 paved the way. Arab Spring. Libya. OWS getting subverted.Outside of world events 2011 is when web 2.0 actually started being felt. It's also when TGWTG started crumbling. The brawl and Kickassia had sovl. Suburban Knights is more drained. Michaud had started turning people against each other.
>>223437888>toxic optimist has cognitive dissonance the post
>>223437944Michaud can't both be a rich kid with zero personal skills who just played Xbawks all day and a super duper secret master manipulator who worked with his most hated enemies who have never themselves revealed how he did any of this.
>>223437867You are 100% correct that Kony 2012 was the first trial run for the multiple divide and conquer psyops via social media that would follow. The impetus for it was OWS.
>>223430654>>223430989is this guy vampire? \(〇_o)/
>>223438157>OWSA small protest that did nothing and fell apart because the immigrants hated white people?
>>223430712El Goblino y La Atrocidad!
>>223438052Why is the board full of people who defend both Michaud and Lupa paradoxically enough all of a sudden?Michaud is mobbed up. That's my theory. He made Doug his slave in 2010 and had Doug sign away basically everything including the Nostalgia Critic IP. They rushed Kickassia because otherwise Giant Bomb would have aquired TGWTG and Michaud would be out on his ass. It's not that Michaud is smart. It's that he lucked out when Doug and Rob wanted to rush Kickassia. Michaud didn't run shit at the start in 2008. He was basically glorified HR at the start. Bargo and Jason Laws had more power in the beginning. Lindsay too had more of a say than Michaud at the start. Mike Michaud eventually started bringing his own clique on. LordKat, Lupa, Apollo Z Hack, Holly etc. were all Mike Michaud's clique. It was mainly by the looks of it a power struggle between Lindsay and Michaud that Michaud obviously won. Nowadays nobody on either side will disclose that now though. For differing reasons.
>>223430654Feud? What movie?
>>223437867>>223437944>>223438157And then all of a sudden they stopped catering to liberals the moment they went after Israel. That's why woke died out within company culture and the media
>>223438239Oh you're the boring faggot again. Fucking hell.
>>223438234I love how they didn't even realize how iconic the moment they are in is
>>223438245You don't catch much independent cinema?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4F29kPldLQ
>>223438282What's boring about it? That's such an odd choice of words.
>>223430712people... get older?!
Doug's Bebe's Kids review > James' Ricky 1 review
I love her
>>223438409>james asks douge if hes reviewed other games
>>223438413looks like her legs are spread
bro in front rocking a bowl cut? wow
>>223438290If only we'd known how all these TGWTG contributors would end up. Because damn is it depressing. Did any of them possess good judgement in the end? I guess Bennett the Sage logged off. Good for him.
>>2234337322010 with some spillover into 2011 was the plateau. If there's any year my sad pathetic ass is actually nostalgic for it's 2010. Lost my v card and was a complete fucking lunatic with other lunatics for about a year from 2010 to 2011.And yes. The internet was peaking. Kickassia is technically crap but what makes it a guilty pleasure is how it captures that very odd era we'll never get back now and personally it takes me back to when my life was actually kind of fun (but also a real mess lol) for a short while.Early nightcore and Kickassia is what activates my nostalgia nowadays.I know. I'm a fucked up idiot.
Why are they in a laundromat
>>223439986Funko pop and CCG stores have had to diversify.
>>223430654I was too old for this back in 2008 or whatever and I'm still too old for it now. E-celebs were always for zoomers, and that's okay. Is that guy on the bottom right wearing a Mo Vaughn jersey?
>>223440045You've been a miserable piece of shit for nearly twenty years? Very cool, anon. You must have had hundreds of girlfriends.
>>223440067Why are you insulting me? Is it because I don't watch e-celebs? I'll pray for you.
>>223440125youre a performative contrarian. thats what women do, announce that they dont like something
>>223440184so what you're saying is that I think it's cool to hate things and it's not
Their longevity is remarkable. How many internet gimmicks from their time have come, gone, and been lost to the sands of time?
>>223430989those mid-late 2000s digital cameras made everything look so dirty
>>223437552>>223438387Retard, the point is that the audience members who are different people and probably around the same ages look worse in the recent photo.
>>223430712Clothing and "fast fashion" keep declining, everyone's attention is screens-first now too.
How the fuck does James do it?
>>223440503you saw the 2 fatasses near the camera in the recent photo and made a grand statement about the overall decline of health in the worldthe fact you lack enough self awareness to call others retarded is nothing short of remarkable
>>223440503the older one was created for the sole purpose of these 2 characters meeting and doing whatever skits for videos and "audience" was there for that.newer one is basically just random convention photo with random people who happened to be there at the time of taking the photo
>>223440640I count five fatasses.
>>223430712If only someone could take us back to the past
>>223441486where the world doesnt suck ass
>>223441452there are at least 8 fatties there
>>223430654James needs to go to Turkey or shave it off, jesus.
>>223430654Those are some ugly people
>>223433732>>223439649Zoomer retards
>>223437867>>223437807You could already feel the decline by 2007
>>223440045I'm 36 and always thought AVGN was gay zoomer slop.
>>223430712Get a fucking grip. The background people look the same. People age and change. Thats all thats occured
>>223440314good. same can be said about film grain and I love that shit
>>223430654pure>>223430989kinoandsoulmay God bless them both and their families and all their fans
>>223433732Kill yourself newfag, post 2007 was the end of freedom and fun.
