>Final Fantasy X is not a good gameYeah, how about I cut your ear, you bipolar, thousand-yard stare bitch?
>>736474919FFX + X2 is a classic with a good story if taken as a set. The gameplay is fine on first playthrough if you don't think about it too deeply or try to get more out of it than a FF game can offer.
2027 for sure spoonybros
I can't sleep unless I put on some Counter Monkey. I probably know all episodes by heart.
>>736475041How the fuck can people sleep with sound?
I still watch Spoony, Linkara, Doug and the Cinema Snob's videos daily.
FFX is severely overrated but I like the combat system.
>>736475041Whats the episode where he talks about some table top where you play as bad guys (like basically something like Tyrany). I vaguely remember the episode and I can’t find it
What went wrong with this guy? I asm because my life is similarly ruined and hopeless
>>736474919Who
>>736475268Not dating the Goggles chick who clearly wanted to be with him
>>736474919>>736475268>Spoony was 27 and living with his parents still There's still time for me
>>736475268didn't tie jesuotaku to a radiator in his basement. Would've saved both of them
>>736475164>Linkarawew lad
>>736475445As a comic book autist I'm scared of watching his videos for fear of him being a comic book autist the wrong way and rustling my jimmies by being wrong
>>736475164>doug and bradthis is fine>spoonydoes he even make anything anymore? >linkara
>>736475538I stopped watching brad about the time he went full retard who wouldn’t stop virtue signaling about his liberal politics.
I wonder what Spoony does now. Like for money, I wonder what he does for income.
>>736475795Patreon money and he lives with his brother (the one that shot a mexican)
>>736475853Patreon for what? What does he do to entertain people? And his brother was a police officer or something right? They shoot people all the time.
>>736475074Its to drown out your inner voice. A sort of minor mental illness that affects white people.
>>736474919I'm not a big fan of FFX either.It was impressive for such an early PS2 game, and at the time I liked what it did to the battle system, but I replayed it circa 2010 and it felt really simplistic. Especially compared to FFXI and FFXII.
>>736475268bipolar
>>736474919VIDEO GAMES, FAGGOT, VIDEO GAMES!
>>736475950At this point I'm guessing his patreons consist of dead people whose bank accounts haven't been closed and people who have just forgotten that they are still subscribed and are well off enough financially to not notice that they are being charged every month
>>736475074You just tune out the noise.
>>736475074Apartment bugpeople things. The wealth gap in America is such that there's a huge underclass of people kept alive by benefits and housed in your apartment building thanks to a thousand different social programs. These people have nothing to do all day and night except scream into their phone in speaker mode and get into loud arguments in the parking lot. There's zero hours of the day of peace and quiet, and the only way to fall asleep is to either drink yourself tired or take pills or fill your own apartment with white noise.
>>736477403I personally sleep with ear plugs
>>736474919FF10 was the first step down the road of ruin. It's just that everyone was fascinated by full 3D, voice acting and actual turn-based combat to care. In retrospective FF12 tried to do so many things in opposite manner. If anything FF13 was the one logical conclusion to what was started in FF10.
>>736478295You're using this meme wrong, everything you said was 100% true.
>>736474919DON'T TELL ME
>>736478484
>>736477803I used to play mmos until my eyes couldn't focus anymore and then pass out
>>736478345Verily.
>>736475041counter monkey and wrestle wrestle were kino idgaf what anyone says, the movie review vlogs too
>>736475007I liked X-2 as a kid but looking back on it, it really does kill the feeling of sacrifice that X had if you get the good ending.
>>736477403Sounds unhealthy.
>>736474919People have been calling out the X-tranny hypocrisy for over a decade
>>736479305It's cathartic in a good way. Not cheap but thematically earned through the plot and backstory of X-2. Yuna gets violently ass-raped by the ending of X despite being a perfect angelic woman who sacrifices herself to save the world. X-2 explains why it happened and gives a rich portrayal of Yuna moving on from trauma and figuring out how to live for herself.
>>736475268He got lazy and just stopped producing content. Even when he would try to do streams he didn't bother to make them fun or engaging in anyway he'd just stare at the game silently and ban people for stupid shit.He started off with a lot of good will and fans too, so if he had kept an actual work ethic and kept producing content he'd could have been one of the more successful e-celebs out there. But instead out of the Channel Awesome crew we have the likes of Angry Joe, Nostalgia Chick, and even Linkara becoming more successful and notable than him.He had good momentum going for him and squandered it. Legit nobody to blame but himself.
so what DOES spoony even do anymore. he working a 9 to 5?
>>736482181He tweets about politics, most recently he called Chuck Norris an asshole when everyone else was mourning
>>736482279okay but how does he make a living
>>736474919well, why is X (and VIII by extension) a "good game" then?
>>736474919He was always retarded. The main reason he hated ff8 is because he spent HOURS extracting every single spell from level 1 enemies at the start, then he complained that his 100 spell junctioned characters were too strong.He's basically too retarded to play video games.
>>736482410He's a mooch, he doesn't earn one.
>>736482680so he mooches from his parents? is there a patreon people are donating to?
>>736482748He only gets $100 a month from patreon now.
>>736475268A combination of ego and genuine mental illness.
>>736482882so what, hes under a bridge or something?
I watched the ffviii review a couple weeks ago for the first time and its incredibly cringe to think anyone over the age of 12 thought this retard was ever funny or interesting.
>>736476151Anon having an inner monologue doesn't mean literally being a schizo that hears voices.
>>736484018Well the main issue is that at the time everyone was going through a "Actually, Japanese games are bad and were ALWAYS bad!" phase. Anime was cringe. JRPGs were gay and emo. Used panty machines, etc.His review is cringe because a lot of it is just blatantly wrong or just waving away everything as gay and emo.
>>736484223They were right, right now anime are as popular as they have ever been in america and look at how society is
>>736484141Reading comprehension could use some work here...
>>736475392there's notreal estate is very expensive
>>736483547Heh, just wait kiddo, the XIII-2 review is in the render queue RIGHT NOW and when it drops all you damn trolls will be totally PWNED.
>>736482516FF8 is a retarded game though, because you can only play it wrong when you don't understand it or completely broken when you do.
>>736475705I knew exactly what kind of sniveling weasel he was from the first video I saw of him, him going full into it seemed like an inevitability. Could never stand more than a minute or two of him talking.
>>736475164I also regularly watch Linkara, but I replaced Spoony with Majuular
>>736474919Wow, you sure proved him wrong with your violent outburst, you autistic fat fuck.
>>736475268No idea, but the funniest part was definitely the hard spiral into insanity with his dog.
>>736488810
It's good to see that he's making pedophiles with dogshit taste mad to this day.
>>736488810>>736488864THE DOG STOLE HIS SOULIF WE FEED THE DOG TO THE LOCAL KOREANS, HE'LL BE BETTER
>>736489443Actually the truth is Spoony is a reverse Samson. When he has long hair he at his weakest but when he has short hair he has unlimited power.
>>736489505I guess the anons blaming his dumb decisions with women are right. If he had just kept a goy....
>>736489505Didn't he shave his head and soon after get into a traffic accident with a granny where he was at fault and then lied to the cops about who had the green?
>>736484018It was a different time. Pickings were slim back then. You could make shit videos but if it was on a topic people were interested in, and you were adopting the popular AVGN format, chances were good that you were going to do alright.
>>736474919It's not. It's literally a game about a faggy soccer player. Late millennial core bullshit.
>>736475705It's okay, he has gotten continually fucked over by his degenerate friends, who he never would have had to deal with if he wasn't so deep in libshit.
>>736475041what are the chances they are all made up stories
>>736484018>insecure zoomer invents people in his head who would mock him for enjoying anythingWhen Spoony was still doing things, faggots like you didn't exist. There was no "cringe culture" and no hiding everything behind 30+ walls of irony and post-irony so people didn't have little tantrum meltdowns over an internet reviewer being animated and emoting for entertainment value.
>>736481526> But instead out of the Channel Awesome crew we have the likes of Angry Joe, Nostalgia Chick, and even Linkara becoming more successful and notable than him.We do have Todd in the shadows though.
>>736491084>James Rolfe wants nothing to do with AVGN and is quitting after the MovieThis bracket did not age quite so well.
>>736491084>RLM stops bringing women to their videos>they surpass Doug and skyrocket in views really makes one think
>>736474919>>736475164>>736478530
>>736474919Why on /v/ there is periodically an anti FFX bait thread?
>>736492956Just shut up and discuss the game.
>>736481526It was "the Spoony movie" bullshit. He hit that tier on his patreon or whatever, got overwhelmed and his content regressed into lazy vlogs until it eventually trickled into nothing. This seems to be a recurring phenomenon with e-celebs. They promise a shitty movie nobody actually cares about and then get burnt out from failing to make it happen.
>>736479374Final Fantasy X masks the hallway better, sometimes it's not an hallway at all if we don't consider things as the temples puzzles as an hallway.Final Fantasy XIII is almost always an hallway.
>>736479213Wrestle Wrestle was great back in the day. Shame most of his fans hated it and didn't want him doing wrestling content.
>>736475236i remember that story something about they fucking up the entire scenario by attacking and criting the main npc and quest giver and having to literally build an underground crime network to survive. I googled it... The series was thieve's world.
>>736476293>people still seething over chad daddy all these years later
>>736491823Only to surface level thinkers. t. me an intellectual who is very smart not dumb
>>736495748Thats not it. This is like about playing evil campaigns.Then there’s another one where he talks about defiler magic.Thieves World is one of the best episodes though.
>>736494472>"IT'S TIME FOR THE SPOONY ONE *TANTANRARANTANTAN* WRESTLING SHOW!"
>>736479213The movie vlogs were great. I still listen to his Breaking Dawn Part 1 vlog (even though it's slightly depressing because he clearly is missing Scarlett during it).
VIDEOGAMES FAGGOT VIDEOGAMES
>>736474919I knew he didn't like X-2, but he didn't like X either? That's crazy.
>>736498253I know he hated VIII and X, but how does he feel about IX?
>>736475164>Spoony, Linkara, Doug and the Cinema Snob's videos daily.Linkara? Really? Could you perhaps recommend some of his best videos? I'm only really familiar with him through the trilogy and crossovers with the other three.
>>736475705I can understand that, he went really hard with the retard business for a long time. I don't know if he stopped because his numbers clearly suffered from it or what, but he has been better for a long time now.
ok let's ignore spoony as a person.are his reviews actually funny or at least, interesting?
>>736474919>Nintendo will go out of business and Zelda sucks >Stops uploading videos immediately afterwardWhat did he mean by this?
>>736497342The couple he did with Brad were great, the two of them could've got in early on that movie podcast money train if only things had worked out a little different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTURgZonHTg
>>736499090His Ultima reviews were my go-to source for information on Ultima until Majuular started his own vastly superior series. I think the Ultima reviews might be Spoony's greatest achievement.
>>736499090They were before he fell apart mentally, some are very dated with dumb skits which were all the rage back then but you can find edits with them removed (like Ultima)
>>736499214Yeah he was able to gaslight an entire generation into thinking Ultima was ever relevant.
>>736499326You shut your whore mouth, without Ultima Online there would be no Rune Scape!
>>736499090Sure. His reviews are funny and interesting, but of course there's tons of sarcasm and you might not agree. I think FF8 is fine, and his response to being told he was playing it stupidly was just "yeah I don't care it still sucks."But he's entertaining.
>>736499090I'd say so. I love his B-Movie stuff more than his video game stuff but I totally get why people love those.
>Watch one of these at random recently>Views are sub 10k if that>Looking old>Video shot in the exact same room they always have beenA bit grim how their lives haven't moved on
>>736499592They have no marketable skills and are stuck doing something where they only make enough money to keep subsisting, of course there's no improvement or growth
>>736499592Making $50k doing silly internet videos is better than constantly getting fired from McJobs because you're halftarded.
>>736475268Depression and alcoholism basically robbed him of the ability to act. he was demoralized after the split with TGWTG and didn't think his patreon would garner that much support, but it quickly became apparent he was getting way too much support instead. He bit off more than he could chew with all these stretch goals like THE MOVIE. In lieu of coming clean and saying he didn't actually have a plan for the movie or most of the other goals, he just kind of ignored it and kept his mouth shut. He already had a bit of a drinking problem, but it became way way more pronounced after the patreon. At this point he's drank himself basically retarded and there's very little hope of him ever rebounding, not without serious clinical outside help.
>>736500015I seriously question how many of them make $50k these days which how long their viewcount is
>>736500625You don't really need that much money if you can stay home and get your basic bills paid. $30000 goes REALLY far if you already have everything you need.
What drives a man to be such a pussy as to turn off commentary and likes/dislikes on his videos? I happened to miss the whole Spoony thing as it happened, and figured why not give one of his videos a try, and I just have negative respect for anyone who turns off comments and disables dislikes on their videos.
>>736500890I think a lot of that will depend on how smart they were with their money back when the money was actually good. Pretty sure some of the tgwtg crew quietly bought homes back in the early 2010s for decently cheap, and have been living below their means already for years. Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews lives in bumfuck nowhere canada in a dirt cheap house, and has been coasting on $2400 an episode on patreon + squarespace adds for years now.
>>736474919FF6 > FF7NUBS
>>736498306Across the entire internet, only one person on /v/ cares about IX.
>>736498306He played up to the opening cutscene and immediately wrote the whole game off.
>>736501958There are dozens of us!
>>736502983Spoony was always a pleb.
>>736502983Wow, nice professional critic you've got there
You have to understand that back in the days people didn't actually look up to youtubers and streamers as critics or authorities on whatever they talked about, but they just watched them to laugh and be entertained.
Spoony has a thread on both /v/ and /tv/ right now, were they made by the same person or is there some other convergence happening? Year of Spoony confirmed?
>>736503526but i'm fairly certain that youtube and streamers viewed themselves as critics and authorities of whatever they talked about and that was mostly due to their own self importance fueled by the fact they had ''an audience'' that they believed was hanging from their every word leading to their downfall the way it happened and to the currect state of affairs with all their immitators and wannabes where they are ready to sell out before they even make it.
Based
>>736504435Some of them definitely began to think they were unironically brilliant, this can be seen especially in the unfounded hubris of Doug in his creation of the anniversary movies and Demo Reel.
>>736499090His early YT stuff in particular holds up well.
>>736504435If you watch his old vlogs (which were great whitenoise), you’ll see that Spoony absolutely considered himself to he a professional critic and believed that people thought his word carried weight (as opposed to be an entertaining court jester we could have perform on demand)
>>736474919Said it before will say it again, I understood FF8 junctioning and Triple Triad when I was 12. Spoony is just an ADHD schizo with a drinking problem so he never took time to learn game mechanics.
>another thread where 40 year olds can't move on with their lives and talk about a youtuber who stopped making videos over 10 years agoIs there a 4chan alt site where you have to prove you had sex at least once in your life to post?
>>736476293Why isn't avgn in this pic?
>>736505062He gets too focused on little nitpicky things that even if they are bad, usually don't really matter and don't affect the game as a whole, but he'll go crazy about it.
>>736505267funnyjunk
I see myself in the spoony one
>>736481526He did streams the worst way possible. Didn't read superchats and didn't interact with the audience other than to berate them. I don't understand why you retards deify this human garbage
>>736505267gaia
>>736505356That's not it
>>736505351I get that but my point is half the time he was playing games wrong because he didn't read instructions.
>>736505495that would be even worse
>>736475164I can sometimes go back to these guys, but Linkara's content is pretty much unwatchable.
>>736475164Spoony has some videos that still fun, mostly his movie stuff, Cinema Snob too, Doug and Linkara are basically unwatchable nowadays, Doug has like some old eps that are kinda okay for a nostalgic watch but nothing else.All of them pale in the rewatchablity of AVGN videos though.
>>736505901I almost respect him for being at his one thing for so long.
>>736506274Kids are LEGIT watching the ROB AVGN video to learn about the character from the Mario Galaxy movie. It's crazy. It's possible that Miyamoto himself has seen it.
>>736484141NPCkun how can I explain this. We don't hear actual audio in our hears, we imagine the concept of the future and how our present actions may affect it for better or worse
>>736505901I remember him being one of the many "talents" at tgwtg who couldn't figure out audio for shit, and would always publish videos where when the camera footage was what was on display, there would only be audio in one speaker. I don't know if they all had shit mono camcorders, shit editing software that couldn't get mono audio to play in both speakers, some mono external mic, or a total lack of competence to edit properly.
>>736498537Such beautiful seethe.Poor nasty cockslut, angry that he isnt thought about.
>>736499090The Phantasmagoria series is by far the funniest content ever released onto the internet.
>>736505356No
>>736474919He was right though. Tide pod is the worst protagonist ever made in any genre of game, people only like it because it was their first FF. These same people shit on horrible entries like 13 for being corridor run simulators when it's their beloved 10 that started it kek. No world map either, just enjoy your corridors chud. Late game you can teleport to a different corridor, what innovation.
>>736477403Thirdie problems, never had a single problem in my white country. Have you tried not living in the hustle and bustle with diverse ethnic groups?
>>736508785I still have a fondness for soms Wendy's training videos. Just good old fayshinned internet humor.
>>736510240Whatever you say, pajeet.
>>736475392>mfw I’m 34 and still living at home Modern timeline is one hell of a drug.
>>736475268a combination of alcoholism, depression and laziness
>>736510135>Tide pod is the worst protagonist ever made in any genre of gameJust because he's girly and dresses funny? I'd say Kratos (both versions) is worse.
I realized he was the first eceleb to have a succubus suck out his soul. Spoony walked do idubbz could run.
>>736493521>This seems to be a recurring phenomenon with e-celebs. They promise a shitty movie nobody actually cares about and then get burnt out from failing to make it happen.I've noticed that this is particular common with older e-celebs from the 2000s, while e-celebs these days don't care. I think it's because the older e-celebs had an "old media" mindset where making a movie was the only way to get famous.
>>736474919Thoughts on his ex?
>>736513031At this point I have 0 standards so I better not answer.
>>736474919it's an alright game but it basically did everything people mocked FF13 for with the hallways.
>>736474919It was the beginning of the end where both Sakaguchi was less involved and technology evolved enough for people like Kitase to start focusing more into J-drama-style storytelling that would plague every future game, so he's not wrong. Like FF was technically always anime but it didn't start feeling *anime* anime until X, if you get what I mean.
>>736484018Truly the Plinkett of videogames.
>>736474919>no world mapwomp womp
>>736512587The only one still worth watching are the ones Ashens made, he at least has some acting talent. Not much but way better than his contemporaries.
>>736516465I watched Ashens back around 2010, but I haven't watched his videos in ages.
>>736479374every fucking FF game is a shitty hallway, there are no real choices or alternate paths to take
>>736475164Linkara? LOST.
>>736512587Cinema Snob made at least 2 movies.But then again he's a survivor.
>>736475074As a kid i used a sound machine that played outside night time noises to help me sleep. Now mental and physical exhaustion does the trick.
>>736474919As much as I hate YouTube essayfags, the era of reductionist reviewers was way worse. They would rarely talk about the actual game and just focus on their shitty skits.I'm glad most of these faggots are nowhere to be seen nowadays.
>>736474919>NOOOOO THIS INTERNET GUY DOESN'T LIKE MY FAVORITE FINALE FANTASY XIIVIVX I WANT TO CUT HIS EARdo you hear how you sound?
>>736479374Final Fantasy X is a journey to somewhere you have to be, it makes sense that you can't veer off the path much, it still gives you some freedom here and there but it's thematically consistent..13 is a cavalcade of fuckups one of which is the theme not matching the shit they're presenting, the mission doesn't feel urgent because they keep veering of the path, they're not really pursued until it's plot convenient and there never really feels like there's an imminent threat. The reason it feels bad in 13 and not in X is that 13 is entirely a terribly designed, plotted and paced game. Live with it retard.
SpoonyWONE
>>736508785>what is love?>tsh!>baby don’t hurt me>dont hurt me
>>736513031She was obsessed with Iron Bull from Dragon Age fucking her and cucking spoony
>>736494472We didn't know how good we had it. I can't believe people used to bitch about Wrestle Wrestle. Now we're begging for just a crumb of Live Wire.
I remember during his x-2 review he asked something along the lines of "why didn't auron call out tidus for going by the wrong name if he's from zanarkand" and only now having played x myself i realized spoony couldn't even remember plot details as basic as auron being from spira
>>736513031She looks like she fucks random guys in public bathrooms

>>736525858>he didn't have sex with any of themLindsay had an abortion and there are rumours that it was Spoony's baby
>>736526123There were absolutely ZERO rumors about that. The original source of that is a joke that metokur made
>>736526281Ok, Lindsay
FFX is a piece of shit2026 Year of the Spoony btw
>>736474919Spoony became the person he hates
>>736474919Him shitting on X constantly is the reason I never liked him. X was always my favorite.
>>736512587I think you have to remember that a lot of these guy that were doing videos on the internet at this time were into movies, B movies in particular, and had already dabbled doing their own stuff.This was still the era when you generally needed some technical skills and more than just a phone to produce shit
It's weird seeing creators from this era all fade away by either overusing their thing or underusing it.
>>736529942I think all of them wanted what Yahtzee had, a consistent 9-5 that bought in the cash at The Escapist, which he ironically doesn't have anymore.The big difference is in work ethic. It's easy to make videos when all you do is stuff you personally think is fun and you enjoy making every step of the way. It's when you are tasked with doing something consistently, using stuff you might not find fun, that you have to put in actual work to make it come out good. But these people never had that because they were self-employed and only answered to themselves and only did stuff they wanted to do.
>>736524852Did she stay gone after that shit? One of the more retarded things I've seen someone get "canceled" over, but deserved due to the audience she cultivated.
You guys ever rewatch the Channel Awesome movies? They come across as a feverdream now.
>>736530427They also had the spark of youth on their side. It's easier to get worked up when you're in your 20s and passionate and you have a lot to give, but most of these people are in their 40s now.
>>736530508i think she started posting on youtube again after several years
>>736530739I haven't but I should. They were campy as hell and I miss that era of movies.
