>>12924049The most cringe baldiest full of shit interview ever!Why i have this thing inside of me that i should play Ultima games? i watched the spoony reviews multiple times, when i was younger i tried to play UO in shitty shards with low population and convinced myself that is the best MMO ever (truly is) but never got so much into it and i played Ultima I and II following a guide just to see how it is and get done with it. Why i have this need of playing Ultima games is in my subconsciouness for so long? Look the guy who made it, it's a greedy egocentric nerd totally out of touch with reality.FUCK LORD BRITISH!FUCK SPOONY!FUCK OLD-SCHOOL RPG SATANIC PUSHERS!
>Fleetwood Mac starts playing
>>12924003he's pleading the fifth
>>12924130Majuular's Ultima series is highly superior
>>12924380For sure it is, i still need to watch completely, but i am so glad that someone made the spoony series obsolete.

Was Tabula Rasa his last attempt to make something serious? Or was that also a scam, i don't remember.
Richard just announced that Shroud of the Avatar is now bug free because of AI fixing them all "within an hour". the three people left playing it are ecstatic
>>12924471Tabula Rasa was real, I played the beta, it had potential. He got fucked over by NCSoft, they held a meeting and canceled it literally while he was in space.
he's embracing AI slop. be very afriad of the new Ultima
Ultima Online truly was what a MMO should be.Sure it's better played with macro software to make it saner, but the core game understood what truly makes a MMO worth playing.Player economy, housing, collectibles, different ways to play the game. There was so much to do for any inclination.It all was woven into a giant player driven sandbox. The only other game I know that does it right is EVE.I also liked the ideas of skills that increase by use instead of shitty ass skill trees and forced classes.It's true some of the magic has been lost with new features and power creep, but the premise was perfect.Compare all that to most modern MMOs. Where's that sense of magic of marking and recalling, organizing your runebooks, opening up a shop, going treasure hunting, exploring player's houses for ideas, running away from pkers.Everything is streamlines, dungeons are instanced, quests are checklists, cashgrab shops. There's no organic community forming there,. There's no sign of permanence from player actions.I want a MMO where I can leave my mark on, a place I can explore and find interesting things, collect rare stuff to show off in my house, meet new friends/foes, set up a shop.Let me end this rant with the best rendition of the "Stones" songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deOJ6wZ_vFU
>>12924443He hasn't finished yet afaik, we are still waiting on the big motherfucker that will be Ultima 9. Can't wait.
>>12924380It's pretty crazy how Spoonys Ultima series felt so massive and epic back in those days when compared to the standards of deep dive retrospectives today... Majuular's series is like 14 hours total at this point, one episode is the length of Spoonys entire retrospective.
>>12924380Majuular videos have more information for sure but Spoony series are 3000% more authentic and passionate. You can tell the difference between someone that played the game just to make a shit video about vs someone that made a video about a series they (mostly) love. Spoony is trully one of >us>>12924897BETRAYAL
>>12924928>Spoony series are 3000% more authentic and passionate.I would say that is debatable, especially with the recent Ultima Online episode Majuular made which is the most personal by far I feel, it's almost all his personal experiences back in the day. Spoonys series had heart but it wasn't even his fucking gameplay in the videos, it's all captured from other YouTube channels, some are even watermarked. I suppose it does have that early YouTube DIY sense of passion that slicker modern videos can lack but Majuular is certainly just as passionate about the series as Spoony was in my opinion.
>>12924932With due respect, just compare their Ultima I reviews. I just put Majuular videos in the background and go grind some MMO. On the other hand, majuular videos shine with information about the company, garriot and key developers, this is the best part of his series
>>12924907Spoony's Ultima series felt massive and epic because he was traumadumping all over the end of it. He couldn't separate the franchise from his own personal association of the game with his lost youth. The end of the series, where he's screaming about "what's a paladin!?" while he was practically crying over the fact that the first games in the series were the ones that he and his brother bonded over just spoke volumes about him as a person and far less about the games themselves. It's also the last review series that he had before The Spoony Experiment really ended.And of course his interview with Lord British that followed it was a fucking disaster. Spoony clearly has a knowledge of the series and of games generally, but instead of using it to try to get some interesting perspectives out of Richard Garriott, he just decided to be a complete dick the whole time. Like, he scored an interview with one of the most influential and personally interesting game developers out there, and he just had to try to make it about himself. Maybe if Scarlett had still been around to tard-wrangle him, it would have had a chanceRIP Oreo and Burton>>12924312Uh oh
>>12925061
>>12924907Because yt videos were limited to 10 minutes in the days of spoony. Also his videos is a personal retrospective on the series that was leading to Ultima IX. It was never supposed to be a comprehensive slog. Just a setup to show how the series fell at the end.
>>12925528I only saw his review of 9. What were his opinions on 1 through 8? Not that I care, I just want to see how retarded they were.
>>12925534He loves the entire series. It was the happiest part of his childhood. 4 and 5 are his favourites.
>>12925558Oh. Okay. I know he can be very critical, so I was wondering if he was going to have some contrarian opinions like, Ultima 2 sucked, or Ultima 5 was too cryptic.
I remember hearing somewhere that Lord British is in Epstein's clique and is controlling society behind the scenes
>>12925061Didn't the interview happen after Spoony's twitter meltdown that got him fired from Channel Awesome? I'm surprised anyone wanted anything to do with him at that point.
>>12925627Well that's a retarded thing to freely admit.
>>12925627To be fair that was the same bitter cunts (especially Obscura) that did the Change the Channel movement or whatever, they screamed moral outrage at an edgelord joke. An inappropriate one sure, but it was an edgelord joke. How he handled their outrage after didn't help though.
>>12926150I mean there's edgy, and then there's telling your coworker you want to rape her on a public forum. Even if it was a joke you just can't say stuff like that. Not trying to moralfag, but jesus fucking christ what a retarded thing to say.
>>12925605From who, your imaginary friend?
>>12925605Nah, thousands of celebrities and politicians and leaders went to Epstein's parties in major cities. Nothing on the level of his Island would happen at these parties, they were literally just rich people drinking and socializing.That's part of the elite pedo plan btw, to keep throwing any images including a known figure and Epstein/Maxwell and imply the connection goes deeper... all while literally passing legislation to protect the privacy of the actual child trafficking pedophile elites that are plainly detailed and named in the unreleased Epstein files.
>>12926707It is retarded but you know it was a joke, he didn't outright say I am going to rape you, yes it was heavily implied but that was the joke, he said if you and your bf ever break up I'd be happy to chain you to a pipe in my basement and love you my way... I mean yeah that's cringe and retarded but he also didn't outright say he would do it against her will, what if she's into that? That's the wiggle room, that's the joke. Should he have been told to delete that shit and sanctioned perhaps in some way privately by CA? And hell maybe that wouldve happened had he not sperged out, I am aware his reaction to coworkers bitching about it is what sealed his fate here... And I'm aware this kind of joke doesn't fly at all nowadays, it's like cancel worthy unless your gimmick is being an edgelord I suppose but back ehhh.. I think a bigger deal was made of it at the time that was needed, by all sides.
>>12926728>Should he have been told to delete that shit and sanctioned perhaps in some way privately by CA?*Meant to post "Yes, probably" to that hypothetical, derp'd and skipped that part.
>>12926728It was cringe as fuck and inappropriate and he should've been shamed into deleting it aye but his meltdown was where he truly fucked up. He couldve recovered with just being the same gossipy shit as Linkaras old BBC fetish shit but he sperged the fuck out over it instead of quietly moving on like Linkara.
>>12926728>"I tried to make an edgy joke but what I actually said wasn't funny or a joke at all, I'm sorry."
>>12926737Funniest part of all this is that the person he said this too is a female to male tranny today lmao
>>12926742You know it was a joke dude, he wasn't literally saying he would abduct and rape her. Come on. It was his attempt at a joke, his intent was a joke - was it funny or appropriate? No not really it was weird and cringe but so is he. He was joking.
>>12926749When you apologize, you shouldn't also be defending what you are trying to apologize for.
>>12926728Spoony is/was a fucking moron
>>12926757Well I already acknowledged his reaction to it was the worst part. But he was joking and I don't think him stating that part was bad in and of itself.
>>12926749>You know it was a joke dudeJust because something is "a joke" does not make it appropriate to say. No job I've had would have even tolerated something 10% as bad as what Spoony said. There would be no fucking apology, or excuse that it was a joke, that would have been accepted.You know why? Because if your employee is such a sperg that they need to be told that is not a normal thing to say, there is no hope for them. Its better to just kick that person out of the company.I know to us its just internet stuff, but like that was his actual coworker at his job at a media company. Calling CA a "media company" sounds retarded but it was 100% true at the time.
>>12926795To be fair again no one was employed by CA. They got their shit featured on the page, that's it. No one was ever paid by CA. They were allowed to be contributors and get the exposure of that for their own brands. So it's not the same as saying it to a coworker at a company.
>>12926809Oh was that the case? I thought the top creators had some kind of contractor relationship with CA? That changes the seriousness of the situation a bit, but Spoony is still a retard IMO. You cant be going around tweeting about rapin people you know and expect to keep your media contacts, based as it may be.
>>12926809I'm convinced you must be Spoony himself since I've never seen anyone else but Spoony do anything but say "wow that was a dumb thing to say! and he handled it horribly!"
>>12926857Spoony is far too busy working on his movie to bother posting here!
>>12926841Yeah they were only contributors, there was no contract even for people like Spoony. CA itself only paid Doug. That in and of itself has been criticized as them being Jews but yeah everyone on there as far as legally goes simply contributed to the site, no contractor or employment status at all. That said I know it was certainly presented in those days that it was some kind of company these people all worked for and so the public perception of a comment like that to a fellow contributor is largely the same as it would be as an actual coworker.
>>12926857I said both those things. But I also think a bigger deal was made about it by both sides. It was just an edgelord joke, he should've been told to delete it by Doug or someone he would listen to and everyone should've just moved on.
>Ultima thread derails into spoony threadgrim
>>12926895Goes to show how linked the guy has become with the series in the online zeitgeist.
>>12925605Epstein was (famously) much more interested in JRPGS.
>>12926150His meltdown happened before the joke. He got the sads because someone told him Scarlett was going to be at a convention he was going to. Blaming Lupa is a cope fans started afterward to try and absolve him of his faggotry.
Majuular won.
>>12927615It's not that hard, considering Spoony basically Irate Gamer'd most of the series
>>12924003Did he gets the rights back?
>>12927059True, he even likes the girl from the second mainline pokemon switch game.Marnie, whatever her name is.
>~1 person talking about the games>99% of thread talking about youtuber cliquesReally says it all about this place.
>>12926737Spoony's humor generally was on that level, though. It was probably more of a shock to him being on social media where he saw a backlash versus when he could make jokes in his videos and get applause from his audience>>12926743To be fair, FtMs overwhelmingly turn to transitioning because they have experienced such a deep sexual abuse in their upbringing that they don't want to engage with sex again whatsoever. So it sounds like Spoony's joke touched a nerve which resulted in the big reaction. Which also goes to show why things like rape aren't generally seen as funny, because some people have had experienced some deep-seated trauma from having been raped. But the Internet isn't a safe space, so whatever. It was a stupid situation, and even more retarded that so many people like us as still talking about it nearly a decade and a half later
>>12928009>>To be fair, FtMs overwhelmingly turn to transitioning because they have experienced such a deep sexual abuse in their upbringing that they don't want to engage with sex again whatsoever.Then why do all fuck every girl they know and do online porn and such?
>>12926707>Not trying to moralfag, but jesus fucking christ what a retarded thing to say.I am pretty sure he wasn't sober. He was a wreck.
>>12924594>He got fucked over by NCSoft,Who didn't they fuck over? I'm still mad about Wildstar.
>>12927853Does it matter? He botched his last several games. Might as well give the series to Derek Smart.>>12928009Spoony didn't joke about raping coworkers in his videos. If he ever did he was smart enough to remove it in editing.
>>12924130>when i was younger i tried to play UO in shitty shards with low population and convinced myself that is the best MMO everIt's literally a better experience on low population emulated shards.On official servers you're just going to get murdered by people with higher stats within minutes of leaving town. Doing anything, anything at all, without half a dozen friends by your side, is suicide.That doesn't happen on low population shards where everyone knows everyone, because news of a PK spreads and maintaining your reputation with the other players is important if you don't want to get ganged up on.Origin tried to fix the problem with Trammel, but that just makes the situation in Felucca even more hostile, and breaks the economy because people stop losing money and items to PK'ers.
>>12924312Never went to the island by the way.
