What makes you say that?
this….he was pretty harsh at him: http://www.twitch.tv/lordkat/b/322361112
-
What makes you say that?
Lordkat has been very vocal about his dislike of Spoony since before he left the site. Once he was gone he just got more vocal, and with the recent incident he had Allison on his stream yesterday and he just destroyed Spoony.
-
LordKat said Spoony stole jokes, why
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I get why LK hates him, but really? "If you like his content, you're just as bad as him and I never even want to speak to you"? What the fuck. That's fucking horrible. He literally told people who liked his work that he could have no respect for them.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Not to mention his awful quote that Spoony should kill himself
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
OR how about how most of TGWTG probably likes Spoony's stuff, what, is he just going to disown every producer because they laughed at one of Spoony's videos?

Spoony stealing jokes isn't the only reason.
They got really vocal with each other and have been for a while now.
One of the things Lindsay and Todd talked about last night is how Lordkat has a huge problem with how Spoony treats people, especially his fans.
And the Spoony's tirade on twitter really pissed Lordkat off, that's why he doesn't understand how anyone can still be a fan of Spoony. And that's why he made that remark about his fans.
But yeah saying Spoony should go kill himself is too much.
It's funny though, because Lindsay and Todd mentioned how nice Lordkat is, and how Spoony seems to be the only person who he feels this way about or has ever made him this mad.
-
I was absolutely with LK after listening to the stream with Lupa, but this is just retarded. He's lost basically all respect from me.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I mean, does he not get how one can find Spoony funny, and yet not be a dipshit "Spoony fan"?
Also, what are these stolen jokes he's referring to?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
The dude literally called Spoony subhuman. How is that any different from the verbal abuse Spoony himself is belting out?
-
Just the other day Jason (Lordkat) was invited to speak at 140con about how to bulid a community so I can understand his problems with spoony.
The 140con stream for those who want it:

I get that LK definitely has the high ground in the community aspect, but that doesn't make what he said any less asinine. What a huge fucking baby.
-
I agree he went over board I'm just saying I understand his point about how you treat your fans.
-
Wow…that was really bad.
Who'd have thought that making goofy on-line videos compelled people to burn down all of their bridges.On lighter not, while I have not watched much of SF Debris (I really don't want to spoil things I intend to watch), Having watched his Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and Star Trek 2011 reviews I would like to vouch for him as well. He's one of the few people I've seen that places more emphasis on opinion and analysis rather than hyperbole and "wacky hijinx".
-
SF Debris is great, his analysis is top notch and his Voyager/Janeway and Enterprise/Archer takedowns are something to behold
-
@Monkey:
Language? Whose complaining about language? He's insulting people, heavily. Nobody cares about language.
If the Angry Video Game Nerd was throwing what he does at actual people on twitter or facebook that wouldn't be hilarious at all.
You're being uncharacteristically obtuse about this Robby.i'd just like to point this out, cause I find it rather funny, but, I've gotta go with zeph on this. Robby, you and Spoony are different. You don't piss people off. people like you. you respect others. I think something's hit a nerve here with you bud.
hey so we're open up to new reviewers. I'm not opposed to this, but man, I'm trying to make it a habit NOT to be on the computer all the time. :P don't give me more stuff to watch.
also, ooh "best FF games" now there's something to
debateargue about.
http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/06/top-5-final-fantasy-games/ -
Dude, not cool.
And just to be a little harsh to him as well, has he done anything worth a damn in the past year or so ? All I see him do is make indie game shoutouts and game news.
-
These guys need to stop stuttering so much. I mean, I've been practice recording with a friend of mine lately for some upcoming videos we're making. If you stutter, you throw that take out and do it over.
My nitpicking aside FF6 is still my favorite as well.
-
So…uh...Spoony's fans have been blaming his Ex, Scarlett, for this mess, and have been verbally attacking her This pissed Allison off enough for her to make a statement of it.
And now Scarlett has responded: http://scarlettopia.tumblr.com/ And this post is from 7 hours ago, and Allison's from a day ago, so Gliblord, you might have your answer for Lordkat's hate of Spoony's fans.
So…umm...yeah. Scarlett seems nice, and she has responded in a very mature way for all the crap she's had to deal with.
-

I hope he takes on the 90's Outer Limits one of these days. I love the show but damn if it isn't a snark goldmine.
-
The whole thing with LordKat is pretty old. I think it culminated with the whole "BETRAYAL!" thing at E3, after which LK started to bash Spoony on being unprofessional and making things harder for rest of the game journalists. Which, I'll admit, is a fair point. (betrayal was funny as hell, though.) But there is constructive criticism and something else. LK seems as bitter and angry as Spoony at this moment, so I can only shake my head at the comments he's making.
It's not really news that Spoony's fanbase contains some real assholes. They generally moan when he does crossovers with TGWTG people (poor FilmBrain!), does storyline bits with costumes or has guest reviewers (poor 8-Bit Mickey!). Scarlett once appeared in a Spoony video (when he had won the Mashable award, I think?) and the comments were so incredibly rude the whole video was taken off and good chunk of people banned. I gave up reading the comment section on Spoony's site a good while ago. People on the Spoony forums are generally the more intellectual fans, but yeah, there are some rabid assholes out there.
To go on a tirade against Scarlett is just sad. Her response is really mature, though, so we can hope that Spoony will get over it as well. (on the other hand I'm a bit worried about Lupa now, she's obviously taking the trolls too hard.)
-
Huh so he went from double secret probation to being fired in two days?
well he's still got the spoony experiment
-
There are "Spoony fans," and then there are just people who find his work funny. If LK can't tell the difference, then he's an idiot.
-

Well I'm pretty sure that site is hosted through Channel Awesome. So it might go down for a bit.
-

Not entirely. His site was hosted by Channel Awesome, so now that he's gone, he's going to have to find a new server to keep his site up. Not that that is entirely difficult, though.

I'm a derpy derp, and that's okay! I derp all night and I derp all day! (Didn't notice Silver responded to that XD).
-
Scarlett seems like a cool cat

Oh. Guess this whole internet drama might actually impact me as a consumer. That's a new twist
-
I did not know that much stuff happened in the last 2 or 3 days… damn.
That sure is one big mess. -
I'd like to take this moment to say that I honestly don't give a crap about all this Spoony drama. Spoony's having a bad time, isn't handling it well, and is lashing out in a way that he really shouldn't. Whether he gets over it and apologizes and whether the people he's affected forgive him or not is entirely their business. It may affect us as consumers for a while, but then again, for all I care this could have been anything. And when you get right down to it, the only reason it got that bad in the first place is nosy fans (like us!) getting involved in their business and acting like we have any idea about what's going on with them and we have any right to talk to them about it. The internet can be terrible sometimes. I mean, at times I honestly wonder whether we actually want this drama to be resolved as cleanly as possible, or if we just want to see more of this for our amusement.
We don't need any more of that, guys. They already post funny internet videos on their own.
The biggest thing anyone involved can do is not say anything further on the subject. Not for every stupid fan on the net to see, in any case. Now stop talking about it. It's making the silly video reviews sour.
-
I honestly just think people should just calm down and stop talking about this.
-
There's not much left to talk about, anyway.
-
Agreed. He should take a break and get away from the internet for a moment.

Problem was he already was sot of off not doing much till December of last year. Now after just six months he's likely gonna stop again.
-

Its really a waste because he was definetely one of the most talented internet critic I have seen. I sure did not know what was Twitter until now. Internet freedom sure has its opportunities and issues.
-
I think Spoony could've prevented all of this if he just quit reviewing FF, Ultima, and other obscure games. If he reviewed something that finally made him truly happy, none of this would've happened. Spoony's adult life has just been terrible, I think.
Also I am a fan. -

Also I am a fan.But he has been a fan of the Ultima series for years, wasn't he ? Also would people honestly like his stuff as much if he only ever reviewed good things ? Because I've seen his vlogs and other non scripted positive reviews and honestly they're entertaining but totaly forgettable.
Also I'm not sure how something like Highlander The Source can make you anything else then pissed off. I doubt it's a movie that can literaly send you into depression.

So why the hell did he self-destruct faster than Charlie Sheen?!

Also I am a fan.It's not very funny to like a game. That's the whole point. Besides he does like the earlier Ultima games. And he does enjoy some of the more obscure PC stuff he has gone through like Ripper.
Also that aside you've missed the whole point. I hardly think it's the games Spoony plays that makes him this depressed/angry at things.

Hey guys I was going to rob a bank but Psychonauts has led me to the path of enlightenment
-

I think it's the break up, to be honest. Even back during his Twillight he said how he didn't even want to see it because he used to watch these movies with Scarlett and he had to call up Linkara and JewWario, while he was drinking heavy booze on camera. Not saying it's Scarlet's fault, just that that was probably something long in the making.
-
@Thousand:
Really any joke on any topic can be funny. I don't really pay any heed to "it's tasteless". Rape, abortion, AIDS, you name it, you can make people laugh with it. It all depends on the writing, how you construct the joke. Don't think so? Two words, South Park. You know you laughed. Hell, most of the TGWTG producers have done these jokes especially rape (including Obscurus Lupa fyi)
People are not a hivemind convinced South Park is the end all of humor. Not that jokes cant be done skillfully but using "U NO U LUV SOUTH PARK" is pretty stupid, not to say rude.
-
Whatever, a majority of people find it funny. Point still stands.
-
also, ooh "best FF games" now there's something to
debateargue about.
http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/06/top-5-final-fantasy-games/Final Fantasy X is on the list?
Final Fantasy V isn't on the list?
Final Fantasy IX gets an honorable mention? -
Game Heroes is pretty terrible. Never watch their videos, they're all no-effort view whoring
-

Still better than ScrewAttack.
-
Screwattack loves megaman. I can't hate them. Though yeah, I do remember them once putting every final fantasy character (yes, from the entire franchise) on a top 10 "whiners" list, as a cumulative entry.
-
For every kind of neat video Screwattack has it has basically 20 awful to subpar videos.
-
hey i like screw attack. i love their retrospectives.
so not trying to bring drama up again, but I got posed this question today; will spoony still be coming to con bravo in cananda here? If I had to guess, I'd say no….

It's looks like the Spoony experiment… was a failure!

Spoony has apparently been officially diagnosed (by a doctor and everything) with bipolar 2 disorder.
So.
Yeah.
Doesn't excuse his actions but… does explain them.
