So did anyone watch the live donation drive? Unfortunately I had a huge school project to work on so I couldn't watch it, but I did manage to see a few bits of it. It looked good from what I saw.
Channel Awesome, AVGN, and other web review shows

I watched it… For way too long (god damn brother just had to keep watching it for 5 god damn hours). I tried to call in, but they were having all sorts of problems. Even when I finally made it in, and was qeued up and on hold, the call was dropped. Phooey.
I did donate, though.
Spoony?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You betrayed Spoony! YOU BETRAYED ME!!!
To be fair, Spoony hates a lot of things. Always kinda came off as a bit of a dick, personally, so I'm not too bothered.

Ah, well that was never really apparent to me. I really liked him as a comedian and entertainer and…well, I guess I still do, but man it sucks that he hates One Piece.
-
Where did Spoony said that? Well, I dont care if he doesn't like it, he seems not to like final fantasy much which i love, as long as hes funny thats ok.
Watched the first hour of the donation drive, then I got tired. Not because it was boring, but it was 3 in the night here and I need to leran today. What Ive seen was pretty funny, good thing they've recorded it so I can watch it sometime.
Did you donate? I gave dem 25$… didnt have more :( wanted a call :D -

Spoony's a funny guy, I'll say that, he just comes off, to me, as the kind of guy I wouldn't want to spend an extended amount of time with.
For one thing, his obssesion with hating FF8 is just plain goofy, at the very least. So, at this point, he can hate on Cowboy Bebop and it really wouldn't suprise me.
-
I wasn't a big fan of FF8 either. but to hate on the whole series. come on, the fanboys are a bit annoying now-a-days, but they did make some great classic games.
-

On Talk Like a Pirate Day, he put up four short videos on what he thinks are the best pirate comics, movies, video games, and RPGs. That comment was a response to someone who asked why he didn't mention One Piece in the best pirate comics video.
@Captain:For one thing, his obssesion with hating FF8 is just plain goofy, at the very least. So, at this point, he can hate on Cowboy Bebop and it really wouldn't suprise me.
I honestly don't think Spoony hates FF8 as much as he lets on. Really–would YOU make a 50(?) hour Let's Play of a game you despise and buy figurines and costumes of the characters?
-
I watched the majority of the donation drive. Fun stuff!
Sucks to hear that Spoony doesn't like One Piece, but it doesn't really surprise me. I don't really think he would give it much of a chance in the first place, really.
-
@Super-Franky:

He does it all ironically, because he's so into his own hatred for the game. Hell, he'll randomly bring up his opinion on the game out of nowhere on some occasions (a good example being Linkara's VLOG of the making of Alone in the Dark. At one point he just brings it up as a comment out of nowhere).
-
I wouldn't take a commentary from talk like a pirate day as a serious source… He was obviously talking pirately, and a pirate doesn't like it when someone points out what he missed. So, instead of giving he in he goes with the opposite ;-)
-
Also, if he has seen One Piece, I wonder what his true exposure to One Piece has been like. If he's only seen the 4kids version that could explain it.

I have a note in my phone that says "Tjat Guy woth tje gladdes" that I wrote sometime when I was drunk, and until now I've been wondering what the hell it meant. now I understand! someone must have told me to check it out, I wrote it down and then forgot what I meant by it. but now I know. :)
-
When I first saw the link for the Dragonball riff on their site, I thought that they were gonna tear into Dragonball Evolution. I've heard of the movie that they actually did, and even spotted it on DVD at one point, thinking "What the hell is this?" Just from looking at the case, I could tell that it would be a trainwreck. After watching the parts of the movie that they covered, my suspicions were correct. Seriously, those CGI fight scenes were painful to watch.
-
I loved both of the videos, but the new NC had me dying, especially at the "gay jokes I could've made" count!
-
The He-Man and She-Ra Christmas special was brilliant, too. There were so many parts that made me gasp for air from laughing so hard. I think my favorite ones were the "Gay jokes I could've made" gag, the unicorn's gruff voice, and almost anything having to do with Rob dubbing over Skeletor's voice.
-
Yeah, both the NC review and the Dragonball riff were great. I loved the Roshi-dancing bit from the riff and the allusion to the upcoming Star Wars Christmas special from the reivew.

Sorry for the double post, but Benett the Sage guest stars on an awesome new Ask That Guy With the Glasses.

-
Funny as fuck, that was. Benett seems to be branching out into more comedy lately, between this, the Spooning with Spoony 2 cameo, and the Dolemite review. But, he seems like a funny guy, so I'm all for it.

What I like about his character is that he always seems to be the better man. The guy that always gets the best of everyone else. He's kind of like Bugs Bunny in that way. A very dark and twisted Bugs Bunny

For those of you who were upset about Marzgurl not liking One Piece, turns out she just worded it wrong, according to this rebuttal video Y Ruler of Time and Rollo T did, and by saying it's a joke, she was specifically referring to its comedic nature, and not that she thought it was bad:
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/yrt/specials/14650-ep003
Verdict's still out with Spoony, though.
-
I pretty much agree with Ruler of Y and Rollo T on this. I have been reading Kenchi for awhile and I enjoyed it a lot.

The Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Next Best Christmas Specials
Awesome as always. I loved his number 1 as well as the very end of it.
! I was really excited to see him include the very underrated Blackadder Christmas special, and him including Gremlins was pretty cool too. I've never seen that Joyeux Noel movie, but now I'm very compelled to see it. Also, I had no idea that the director of The Nativity Story is the same who directed Twilight (sad).

Fuck you, it's Die Hard!
Next week can't come fast enough.

FINALLY! There's The Snowman! God, just hearing that song gets me choked up and feeling 6 years old again.
I'm sad he still hasn't done the Rankin Bass specials, but maybe next year.

Fun fact: I actually watched this special. Twice. The first time because I just had to see it myself, and the second time for the Rifftrax of it. I gotta say my feelings I had when watching it were almost exactly like NC's, moment-for-moment.

damn it, I gotta go to work now T_T

…Wow. That looks like one horrible special. Like, really, what were they thinking?!
-
I've heard about the Star Wars Holiday Special from my friend a few years ago who actually owned a bootleg copy. However, I had no idea that it could be so…stupid. Just from watching those short clips, I was really annoyed by the drawn-out Wookie conversations, let alone an entire chorus of them. That animated short was just as bad, too. Even the fact that it was done by the people behind Heavy Metal can't redeem it.
I'm gonna have trouble deciding whether this, Batman and Robin, North, or Garbage Pail Kids was the worse movie he's ever reviewed. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pour a bottle of bleach into my eyes to wipe the images of Grandpa Wookie watching space porn from my brain.

New Nostalgia Chick it out! Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/15171-ep022Dear GOD, what a horrible mid-quel. I only remember seeing this on tv as a kid, I really didn't remember the particulars. I guess I should be grateful for that.
And it's confirmed that the NChick is a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast, which I had expected, considering she hates The Little Mermaid so much. B&B is like the answer to all of Mermaid's problems.
-
Well, it's pretty hard to hate B&B, whatever your gender, age, or any demographic is.
Also, this is the one robby has been waiting for. A review of Santa Buddies!

Great review as always from the NC. Oh, and here's an update for upcoming NC episodes that will last till March 16th.
http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/site-news/general-updates/15274-newncs010
Schwarzenegger month should be fun, but I'm really looking forward to his Quest for Camelot review, as well as the Top 11 Villain Songs (Hellfire for number 1 baby!) And of course we've got the 100th episode coming up. That should be uber awesome.
-
Aside from the greatness that will be the Top 11 Villain songs (and yes, Hellfire HAS to be #1), Biodome and Bebe's Kids promise to be fucking classics. Can't wait for those.
-
i never did see bio dome. that will be nice
