How does one get into a game of D&D with you.

If you need a pretentious pseudo-intellectual who wields a vast vocabulary and fierce opinions against rampaging hordes of terrible monsters known as “facts” or “logical arguments” for your movie review pitch, you have my email.

Hey Spoony,
about your show-pitching ideas – I think everyone would love to see something like this, but to get something like that done the show producers would need a lot of freedom. There’s a popular example for a computer/youth culture/games related show that was on the air for 10 years, with huge success – but now it’s been chopped off by the News Corporation who bought their station together with a big package of other stations recently. That show was GIGA, a daily 5 hour live program about webculture, news, politics and tech and later they had a spinoff called GIGA Games, 2 hours of video game related content every evening. It was awesome until big tv people wanted to turn it into something better, meaning more “normal”, and so they butchered everything that people liked about the show, they exchanged moderators on an almost monthly basis, etc, etc.
What I want to say is – most media people today don’t really “get” what everyone like and what’s the focus. There are a million of game reviewers on the Internet today, and there is quite a cult of persona around them, AVGN, dr. ashens, yahtzee, you ( :P ) – I am sure there could be some profit coming from them if someone could just get their feet in the doorway and reach the right person, and not one of those whose job it is to shoo the crazy people from outside away.

Two moderators of that show made it to MTV Germany btw, they got a quite juvenile 25 minute gaming show there. If you are interested to take a look some youtube links:

i’ve never seen ads. Use adblocker addon for firefox.

sorry we make your life so hard

I do trust you and your reviews, but I would just like to mention that I dont know if its still around but there was this show ‘electric playground’ and ‘reviews on the run’ which also do games. I found it very entertaining when Tommy was on it, but once he left the show got a SECOND serious boring guy, which totally ruined the entertainment of the show.

Also I dislike x-play, but I found reviews on the run gave pretty reliable reviews.

Keep up the good work spoony I love seeing updates from you!

Héhé, I liked your intro movie^^ (Damn youtube!And damn IG by the way)

But if I can give you an advice, on the bite sized video, you should also cut at least the intro, It doesn’t bother me at all (blip load kinda fast for me, even in normal) but I’m sure your most beloved fans with low connection, doesn’t need to see the intro each week^^.

Good to hear from you and see you’re better!

I didn’t mean that you make my life hard. I don’t resent the fans. You guys actually have a lot of really great ideas, which is why I sometimes feel like I’m chasing my tail a lot. It’s all too many great ideas. I need to somehow filter them down, focus on a few priorities, that’s all I meant.

Good to hear from you and see you’re better!

Also, yes RE5 is like 4, its a sequel. Sequels generally don’t play completely differently. If RE5 was an RPG it would probably a. suck and b. not be considered a true RE game.

All they have to change is minor things. Look at other sequels and you’ll probably understand what I mean. MGS has been the same since 2, Dynasty Warriors has been the same since 2, etc etc Its supposed to play the same thats what a resident evil game is now. As a fan of four I loved getting another story and a few new mechanics to play around with. But at least you didn’t bash it for things that are completely false like many gamers I know (who likely haven’t played it themselves).

I think the point I was trying to make with Resident Evil 4 was that there’s basically no innovation since 4. It’s virtually the same game. True, sequels in a game series are bound to be similar, but it’s disappointing to see that after several years and a transition to next-gen consoles, all we get is essentially an expansion pack. Resident Evil 4 was fine for the Gamecube, but was this really the best they could do after all this time?

The mailman actually knocked on my door and handed my RE5 just when i started your review. I dont mind it being much of the same, but ill try and post back when i get the game going. I actually mainly play RE for the story, even though its pretty damn terrible. Its like you said in your MGS 4 review:

You cant defend it, but youve been with it for so long that you just have to see how it ends.

Regarding Yahtzee’s Game Damage, from their blog post on February 9th: ”
The nice part though is it looks like it’s no longer a case of ‘if’ we get picked up, but more ‘who’ and ‘when’.”

I hope they make it big :)

Wait for few weeks before playing Empire: total war, It’s terribly bugged atm.

Resident evil 4 (the wii version particularly) was one of my all time favorite games. I must have played through it twice on the game cube, and then about another 4 times of the wii, its really was that much fun. I heard a lot about how resi 5 was similar, so i figured i’d like it just as much… but when i played the demo, i don’t know, it just felt like something was missing.
Incidentally i’m loving swat 4! and definatley looking forward to the next few updates ^^

and that thing with yhatzee (or however you spell that) was called Game Damage =]

I think your idea for the kids science show is great. Kids would lap that up!

It’s OK, Spoony, take as much time as you need(just don’t get lazy ;P).

Hey Spoony, Yahtzee said they are in talks with interested parties about Game Damage, so keep trying and fight the good fight!

great. Looking forward to it. But hey, if you need a break, take it!

As I started the D&D thingy there was just that (slightly annoying) “Bad Boys” tune and your Swat review. I’m just curious if that’s what supposed to happen…

If you ever make a review show pilot I hope you at least don’t try to include a bunch of unfunny scetches about Halo, Metal Gear and 3D Realms…

They’re all good reviewers on their own, but their pilot stinks of concessions to each others’ worst ideas (like the MMO “segment”). The individual segments were easily the best. Well-written, amusing and interesting. The rest was an embarassing hodgepodge of bad ideas and an inability to understand that you need experience before you can make advanced presentation techniques work well…

As for the zit, just cover it with make-up. It’s not like you can avoid being doused in the stuff if you’d actually get to make something for TV. :P

Okay, I finally watch all part.

As for the part 3, yes, you shouldn’t do review games that you don’t own (especially CDI) though I’d love to see you do a scene selection of zelda CDI (mah cake will burn!), but then, you shouldn’t show that you clearly emulated (In ET ^^ granted, it’s ET, it’s not important) unless it’s games that normally don’t work on a normal console (like say, action 52!).
I TOTALLY agree with you about the part with the game’s rant, as I always choose my games based on friends,the ones who are the kind of geek/nerd /japanophile.I also listen your rants, but I never put them in priorities, simply as a bonus.And this should apply to every internet reviewer (especially when the guy also have an internet show where the game put in belong automaticaly to a good/bad category).

Anyway, take a break if you need (and get rid of that pimple :P) as I wait the next FF8 (speak about the weapun!^^)

oh, spoony, i missed you so much… (хнык-хнык)

using footage for the purpose of criticism/review is totally legal. There are lots of guides to copyright law out there, its all pretty common sense.

I am fairly certain that the concept of MST3K is copyrighted, so I do not think you would be able to use their concept and use it to make a profit.

Also- all tv is done by committee these days. whatever you want to do is going to get severely perverted by the conclusions of focus groups, or shit canned all together (like clerks the cartoon was).

charlie brooker explains how ruthless tv is better than I ever could. (the ‘career in telly’ video is good too, he has a lot of really informative videos about television and how its made actually….)

stay on the internet dude, for your own sanity.

I had a problem with the connection speed but now i just download them with flashgot+downthemall firefox plugins and watch them in the media player just like any video with better controls than bliptv’s flashplayer

In Poland we have the exact same show that you’re describing – just two gamers talking about newest games. It’s called “Review Territory” and it’s really great, it’s a living proof that a simple idea like that can work. There’s basically no script, they just talk about their experiences with the game. One guy plays mainly on consoles, and the other on PC. Also, it’s not a show for kids, so you can hear some jokes about scrotums and some cursing. It is basically the best show about games on TV – and I’m not saying that because im Polish, it is really good.

Oh, and one guy from that show is a PR specialist (or something like that) in his “normal life” and has a very serious tv show on another tv station. Its kinda funny to see him on one channel saying that “Killzone 2 kicks his balls in” and on the other talking about serious businnes stuff. Gamers lead a double life…

PS. You can find some episodes of Review Territory on youtube but you won’t understand any of it, it’s of course in Polish.

DUDE you´ve gotta play empire total war! Its an awsome game, though about resident evil 5, i really dont like it! I mean the graphics are sometimes really good and sometimes its really bad, and the controls are quite bad! Though thats my opinion, PLAY EMPIRE TOTAL WAR!!!

Hail Spoony

Hi, awesome video as always. Man it’d be great if you could record your D&D sessions. Like just set up a tape recorder and I’d love to hear the stories you’ve cooked up. But maybe that’s too private? And again it’d be another project for you. Unless you were willing to just to toss up raw mp3s online.

I understand if the link to my picture of Doctor Insano got lost among your e-mails. That’s why I sent it again–I think other people would enjoy seeing it too.

Awesome and funny as always, but im kind of surprised that you (and im just guessing here) haven’t heard or just didn’t mention gametrailers.com as a site where you can get information and reviews on new games… ( <– im not advertising :P )

Noah, the main issue with a mainstream review show are the restrictions enforced upon you by editors and media heads who give the veritable thumbs up or down on your stuff. Your freedom of creativity is heavily restricted, especially by sponsors who make sure you don’t flame a specific game or brand to heavily. Unless you ensured you had full creative and editing rights to any show you get you won’t enjoy it.

Love your blogs, Spoony. And I’m a lawyer :) But I don’t deal with copyright law at all, so I likely wouldn’t be able to help much :P

I agree with Jeremy Giga and Giga games where great shows and i could have totally imagine Spoony on a show like that.

I have to say in all those months that i am now watching spoonys shows i never ever went to the YouTube channel(fond the web site over that guy with the glasses), is there anything up on the YouTube channel that isn’t on the main site ?

Wow, after hearing that whole RE5 review, I’m convinced that you didn’t even play the game. The only thing you got right was that the story is bad. RE5 is drastically different from RE4 in several categories. First, the control scheme is very different, and I know this because I played them both back to back and was turning every which way but the right way when I went back to 4. The monsters are much faster and smarter than the Ganados in 4, sometimes mindbogglingly. The number of automatic weaponry in 5 is vastly superior to 4 and the upgrade system is more streamlined as well. I don’t see how the voice acting was terrible, it’s better than other localized games that have come out recently, the worst being Star Ocean 4. I love the RE series, but RE5 was the one I had the least fun playing. If it wasn’t for the fact I had a friend co-oping with me, I would have given up over halfway through.

I never watch you videos on youtube. I like you webside.
awesome Vlog as always

If you were doing a game review show i would watch every episode

I couldn’t agree more about the zits, DIE FOUL PUSS SACK!

eheh, anyway, i think he is very talented since he manage to talk for more than half and an hour without stop in fron of a camera! wow!
BUT!, yes, there is i problem… I HATE Resident Evil 4… man it sucks! why the spoony likes it? oh well, de gustibus non est disputandum

Yeah, even X-play has been stale since the switch over to G4. I think the SpoonyOne would be a good replacement. And you shouldn’t pop your zits, it hurts you in the long run. I’m sad to hear that RE5 is just like 4. I was hoping for something new, but I undoubtedly will be forced to play it with my friends, who are RE fanatics. Personally, I like House of the Dead better.

Take your time with the updates. You’ll end up burning yourself out, doing too many things at the same time.

I would’ve thought Left 4 Dead would’ve been the obvious game to mention for the co op line seeing how A) Revolves around Co op and B) Zombies.

Yeah, TV needs some sort of review show that’s decent, I’ll give you that, but as your review style is typically in the form of a play through, or at the very least talking about some of the high points, I dunno if your style would meet some of the things a review show would have to be, like say, spoiler free. Oh, and please stop plugging away at Dr Insano. It’s like, the most awesome thing of the week, in that It’s not any good.

Use some toothpaste on it… the white one works best when it comes to zits… XD

I would say to drop the final fantasy review since you said it yourself there are 4 discs + the stuff you add to it… and most importantly you don’t want to do it! it is not fun for a viewer when you can tell the person doing the review doesn’t want to, but that is just me.

I don’t know if they are still doing it but MTV South America aired a tv show which supposedly did game reviews and it SUCKED, people on tv who does gaming reviews can’t tell their honest opinion on the games since the sponsors are the developers of said games… so it makes no sense to hear a bunch of bs that in the end tells you nothing relevant to the game itself so it would be nice to have a sincere game review on tv…

I think the above happends with movie reviews on tv X_x

I won’t get that much into the RE4/RE5 stuff since in a lot of fandoms gamers are becoming very hard to please (whinners) and they want a lot of stuff that would damage even more the franchise; for example there is a certain fandom that wants a game release every two years, and they want said game to be T3H B3ST THING EVA… when we know it doesn’t work that way, game developing requires time, money and patience! if not all major video gaming franchises wil end up with a game release each year (like the Sonic franchise) and the outcome won’t please anyone!

Good thing you are feeling better, work on a schedule, it might work XD and don’t push yourself too hard!

Shit yeah! At the Movies with the Ben’s is like watching those highschool jocks that sat behind me in math senior year argue about movies in between talking about parties and proper methods of removing the resin from their pipes and sports

You’re probably aware of this but there’s actually a D20 version of Game of Thrones which is just genius! Pretty much every aspect of the book has been translated in the most awesome ways I would’ve never thought possible. From what I’ve seen, the green Ronin game seemed pretty weak compared to it. Its out of print so you’d probably need to get it on thepiratebay or something. I got it there personally.

Love your vids, can’t wait to see more of them.

I TRUST THE SPOONY!

Good to hear from ya, Spoons. Just don’t overexert yourself, alright? :)

The ads always made me laugh. The spoony diet was the best one. Laughing that is.
Don’t worry about that red snapper on your head. If its just a FF8 review, make it a metaphor. It fits perfectly.

lol @ the whole zit thing. :)

Hey Spoony, if you want a real grind game worse than FF8, try Xenogears. It might be the worst JRPG ever made and makes FF8 look like Gradius 3.

Keep up the good work Noah, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate your work… and your stress zits.

I’m exactly the same. Too many things to do, not enough time. I appreciate your dedication especialy with the Final Fantasy VIII thing.

By the way, good point on the movie review show. I would love to see something like that, something that’s respectable.

I don’t trust x play that much

this was kinda a heart to heart with the fans spoony, im glad you have fun entertaining us cuz we all love it just as much. screw television, put up some more movie reviews on the site. theres so many you have left on your coming soon list that im rotting away at my computer waiting for.

I love watching your reviews and your vlogs.

Don’t burn yourself out! It’s better let us wait a bit longer if that will result in you performing better and/or don’t get burnt out :)

You could never talk too much haha! Keep it up.

You could never talk too much haha! Keep it up.

concerning you’re discussion on movie review shows, have you ever heard of Spill.com? they’re an animated movie review site made by 5 guys in austin, texas that do that same kind of approach you just said you’d want to do.
best of luck in the future.

You put it very well when you talked about people who do reviews. Though even if I don’t agree with a reviewer, I can watch them if they are entertaining enough, but even if I agree with them, if they aren’t entertaining, forget about it. Like that Yahtzee pilot, what they were saying was good and all, nothing wrong with it, but it was terribly dull and Yahtzee looked like he didn’t even want to be there at all, he wasn’t enjoyable t watch in that. I didn’t agree at all with your negative views on TF2, but I still enjoyed reading it. I rarely agreed with Roger Ebert and I didn’t even care what he thought of movies, but I enjoyed watching him more than any other reviewer, which is weird because I really hate pretentious reviewers. You seem to like Sage, but I can’t stand him, I don’t respect his opinion, and he wasn’t very entertaining to me personally. As for Xplay, well I don’t respect or find anything entertaining on G4.

On that note I always have this thought that G4 really should pick up guys like you and AVGN and such to do shows or offer you positions on shows there, because lord knows they need it. Guys like you that gamers actually connect with would do wonders for that network, as it stands I don’t know how they stay on the air, their shows are vile. So that’s my hope for your wish to break into an industry. As for a Doctor Insano science show?… Yeah, I’d work on that a bit first Noah.

Lastly, make a joke that the zit is the agony and anguish FF8 has built up inside of you trying to burst it’s way out of your brain. :P

hey i love your work, but dont say anything bad about Steven Seagal! that man is an idol

Spoony, I know what you’re saying about reviewing a good game, but really, I think it would be good to try it out. I know you don’t have a lot of time, but I recommend checking out the Unskippable from The Escapist Magazine. They just make sarcastic comment of an opening cutscene from ANY game, and it’s priceless. I would love to see you doing some hilarious commentary on a good game (maybe if the gameplay doesn’t work so well you can just show the cutscenes).

Keep up the great work. I look forward to every update ^_^

I know it’s easier to do bad games and such, but really I think doing a good review every now and then would help set you apart from the dime a dozen people on the internet who are just all about the nerdrage and making fun of bad games and movies and such. Surely you have a favorite game or movie?

Plus it might help to get rid of some stress every now and then to do a good review, I mean you seem to be getting kinda crabby lately…

A kids science show featuring Doctor Insano ? That would have made my childhood less boring.
Anyway, I’m glad that FFVIII is back on the trails. Only 3 more discs, that’s the positive thinking !

On behalf of the fans…. (Bzzzzzzz (Fan noise)) I appologise…. for us being such slave drivers……
Although, could you do a movie review of Lesbian Vampire Killers….. I’m not sure if you have it in America…. it is a british Film…. The name holds promises… but I fear it could just be the sort of slap-stick comedy that is thumb tacks through the crown jewels annoying…
So yeah….
NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!…. zit face?

You know there used to be an HD channel I got that was pretty good…it was called gameplay HD or something….but anyways it was really great it had live tournament broadcasts, previews, humor…all manner of hardcore gameing shows…I cant help but feel you would have fit right in. sadly they took it off the air….in favor of the Gardening HD channel or something -_-

I’m a law student, but i’m in England, so dunno if that would be any help to you, given our copyright law is probably completely different to yours. However, if you wanted to set up an elaborate scheme where you film your show then get an english guy to upload it onto his site or something, then give me an email and i’ll let you know the basics.
Also, i ordered a doctor insano t-shirt just after you did the last final fantasy 8 review and it hsn’t arrived yet. Do i need to send a threatening email to printfection? Also, where do i find your first video with Linkara? I saw the “previously on atop the fourth wall” clip with you in, but whn i searched atop the fourth wall could not actually find that video…
One last thing. You said people keep emailing you… What’s your email address? I can’t find it anywhere…

thnx for givin a 110% ^^ spoony FTW!

What? There are ads on here? Haha, I do so love AdBlock and Firefox.

Fucking hell Spoony, you’re a gross bastard but I lol’d so hard about your zit being that thing from Total Recall. You should slow down though bro. I love SWAT 4, and I’d love to see more of FF8, but you don’t need to run yourself ragged for us all. Maybe SWAT 4 could be like a weekly thing, and FF8 could be like every 2 or 3 weeks or something like that. Entertaining us is fine and all, but if you’re so swamped it’s gonna start feeling more like homework and that’ll just suck for you.

Oh, and unless a video is like a half hour or more, I never have to preload your videos. Blip loads videos really fast, it’s a good host. I don’t understand why people are complaining about having to preload, maybe they’re still using dial up. But really you should just ignore the YouTubers anyway, most people on there are fucking assholes and I say if they can’t be bothered to do something as simple as bookmark your website, then fuck ‘em.

The reason I’m looking forward to FFVIII review is your funny commentary during the review

YES! More SwAT 4 videos and Final Fantasy 8. This is going to be a good weekend since I have a week off from college because of Spring Break. Oh, what kind of game requests do you take because I was wondering if you could comment on a new game that came out for Wii called Madworld?

Spoony, You are awesome. I finally finished watching all of the things on your site, and my friend showed me your 4E review.

I personally am a fan of 4E over 3E. I can’t really comment on AD&D because im too young to really have played them, and am now only getting into them. But, I find your review to be fair. its nice to hear someone point out the flaws instead of going BAWWWWW! Wizards are no longer the ULTIMATE CLASS EVAR!

who said you have to do FF8 till the end, well ok most of the guys here say that but really: I get the idea.
I did play FF8 and watched the reviews you made, but you have pretty much said everything =P
Swat 4 is fun I think to watch. Agree with RE 5, but I like RE 4 so… its ok I guess, I’ll buy it for 20 bucks in several months =D

Spoony,You rock! if i could donate i would but im only 15…anyway good luck with life! ill pray for ya :-)

About the studio and stuff. I actually really like the setting you’re shooting in now, feels all cozy and nice. But I will not argue if it’s not convenient for you and you’re eventually gonna get yourself a studio.
Live in Finland, so I can’t really comment on the tv-stuff in the U.S.
And you just made my weekend, if you really are gonna get that FFVIII Part IX up. Grats.

Dude, I am absolutely sincere when I say I would watch you in *anything*. You’ve got so much talent and natural screen presence, not to mention comic timing, and I hope against hope that you can “make it” someday. :)

OK, enough sucking your e-dick. Thanks for the updates!

about the gameshow held by gamers for gamers..
we actually had that kind of a show in germany, it was even a whole tv channel
there was even a little section where they presented their favourite movies, talked with “celebrities” like peter molineux and all kinds of stuff
but unfortunately it got shot down a couple of weeks ago by premiere,
so right now we only have ‘game one’ on mtv germany and thats not really good to rely on…

if you want some good opinions on games….giantbomb has so much awesome stuff.(shameless plug) though I also don’t mind gamespot, mainly since I listen to their podcast and when your an anti-social nerd, you get to know them, and think they are your “friends” which makes you value their opinion much more. In any case…very entertaining vlogs! nice to see you pumping stuff out like crazy.

See, this is why I enjoy watching you Spoony, you are just an awesome down-to-earth guy. I value your opinion on videogame reviews far more than gamespot or even x-play. There really does need to be another video game review show on tv, and that has been driving me crazy since forever. Also a movie review show on tv that isn’t cheesy or tabloid-ish would be a great welcome. Your take on RE5 is a lot like my reaction when I started playing it and frankly, I still like RE4 so for now, RE4 is still in my top favorites. Haha I feel a little guilty when you were saying at the end your audience would be the death of you and don’t worry, I will be uploading more. Making a schedule just to play video games seems a bit much, so be careful not to push yourself to the point of death. I know whatever you give us will be nothing short of epic, you keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully you can get that bigger studio or tv show. I’m rooting for ya!

RE 5 subject: I totally agree with him about RE 5. I just recently finished it and I felt exactly how he felt. Your playing a suped up version of RE 4 but with a blargish inventory system and a co-op feature where the AI co-op buddy is a dumbshit! I played and finished the game on normal and hated how my partner kept unloading clips on me while i’m trying to drop bosses and always seem to get in the way of my gernades when i throw them. I’m like “FUCK OFF!!!” But in terms of overall gameplay and what not I totally agree it’s vertually the same except some differant bosses (like 2 gatling gun zombie bosses and they brought back chimeras but made them bosses and have one hit kill attacks) and threw other random stuff like the use of a machinegun turret, a satalite lazergun gun (which reminds me and works to much like the HAMMER OF DAWN in GEARS OF WAR) and a few other stuff but this crap kept making me go “This is NOT GEARS OF WAR 1,2. This is RESIDENT EVIL 5.” I felt like they did a better job with RE 4 and RE 4 felt a hell alot longer than 5 because 4 took me about a month to beat while 5 took me 4 days. As a RE Fan. I was disappointed.

About the Time schedule Idea: i totally agree. what i would do is I would spend 2 hours of a game and review it then go to something else for two 2hours (a movie perhaps like MY NAME IS BRUCE?) then go to a personal thing for 2 hours and so on. I would take things in strides and not rush things. Just my opinion.

I just want to say thank you for putting all your work into your movies and reviews. I think that you are a very talented person, and the fact that it seems like you are putting all your free time for your fans is amazing. I don’t usually freak out when you don’t update your site for a while, but I will say there are days where I will check your site up more than 3 times for a update, but still go at whatever pace you feel like doing to get things done, and I will be patience. I think you’re doing a great job and we all thank you for showing off your skills, and style, cause hey you really are HARDCORE!

The thing about getting into tv. It’s really hard now a days, even when you do have an agency. Even if you know people that are “in the business” it’s still not guarantee that will work or help you. It’s mostly like a power thing going on. Opening the door for someone to get in, seems to lower someone else position in the business, or at least that’s what a lot them in think anyway.

On RE 5, I loved Resident Evil 4, but sadly I only got to play through once (had to rent and borrow a friends Game cube) So even if it’s the same game, I might be interested to play through, since I hadn’t gotten tired on the 4th one yet. Anyway, thanks again.

Oh and one more thing about Resident Evil 5: Play Magazine did a review of it in a recent issue and said “This is not playing Resident Evil 4″

Bullshit.

Thanks for that update, Noah.

I, for one, believe that your FFVIII review is among your best work, alongside Phantasmagoria. To see it completed would be gold.

Best of luck with pitching to TV networks, or wherever you decide to take this next. Here’s hoping you find a great environment to bring your humor to the world.

It´s just unbeliviable thar Spoony doesn´t have his own show in a major game/film/tv site or even on real television. Realease a DVD, I will buy it.

I agree with previous sentiments that I would watch you in anything, I would have to do so on the internet if you were ever on US tv as it probably wouldn’t be shown here in the UK.

I donated $50 to you not long ago, if I could have given more I would. Keep up the great work and don’t kill yourself trying to do it, I am just happy whenever anything new is put up and at the moment you’re spoiling me!

Hey Noah, i realy like watching your Videos. It´s a great free service. But do not kill yourself over it. There would be no harm in haveing far less videos. Have a good job, have a dirty job… have a fun job… in the end your internet fanbase alone will not make your résumé look good to your average job aplication.

I would not want you to have a bad life for the rest of your life becaus right now you are beating yourself down entertaining me with videos… thats just not worth it. – And you know how internet strdome is… if you stop doing videos half a year no one will care.

Much love and good luck with every you are trying to archive
Michael.

Oh yeah, and a Game-Show that dos not suck up to the companys will not run for the same reason Gamespot is not trust worthy. Theyr advertising marked is essentialy gamers. And EA for example dos not like to be F´ed with… if you burn the latest EA game they will just dump their advertising money for all games on the plenty amont of other websites, magazins, tv shows. (heck germany even had a german TV chanel for the last 10 years)
That sadly is true for a lot of other stuff, if you have a photo magazin you do not f with Canon and Nikon, esp the Cheap DSLR cameras…

If you want to do something like that, buidl up a webside like youtube/tgwtg for game reviews… but don´t expect much income (there is almost no, if any income in free webpages), see it as a hobby that is cheap if it breaks even…

Hey Spoony, I noticed you said you love A Game of Thrones.

If you’re into boardgames, which I think you are… I thought I eyed a copy of Carcossone on your shelf in a previous video, though I could be wrong. There is a boardgame of A Game of Thrones.

Here’s a link: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6472

Also, a 7.57 rating (the current one it’s got) is good for that website, if you’ve never been. They generally give lowish ratings, so the rating it has is quite solid. It’s published by Fantasy Flight Games which is a pretty incredible company. And they’ve released two expansions to it… “A Clash of Kings” and “A Storm of Swords”.

They require the original game (like PC game expansions), but might be worth looking into as well.

I’ve never PLAYED the game, but I heard it was good and am working on getting it. One of the most popular sites from which to get games is funagain. Here’s their link to the game:

http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=014383

Check out the reviews, you might be interested in it.

You rule, Spoony, keep it up.

You should TOTALLY option to be on Gamedamage as a foreign correspondant. Yahtzee’s already a big fan of your work; if you sent an e-mail, and GD kicks off (apparently they are getting some offers), you could see a steady flow of dosh!

yeah… being unemployed and not having enough money to afford a decent place to live…sucks. If you ever DID have a TV show, I would so watch it everyday!

You LIKED RE4?? I honestly hated it! …yeah…that’s just my opinion. Anyways, I actually liked RE5 than RE4, but like you said about the new game, nothing really “improved” since the RE4 game (except the story and characters being better, but again, my opinion).

You should never be rushed into making reviews. MOST of us are patient, and…make whatever the hell you want, spoons. I enjoy whatever you put on your website. :)

you are right, spoony, I did not need to know about your pimple-popping-fetish.

but thanks for the vids and entertainment. I am used to eating in front of you, does that sound wierd?

Honestly, my four main complaints about Resident Evil 5 are as follows.

1. The settings don’t matter. At all. You just kind of…go…places. Whatever, this is the next level, let’s get through it.
2. This was mentioned in Sage’s review, but it’s even less scary than Resident Evil 4. It’s not a survival horror anymore. The only scare is “oh my god, lots of zombies.” There’s no legitimate scary ambience anymore.
3. No Billy Coen, despite him indicating in RE0 that he was originally in Africa. I wondered if he’d show up again. That, and Jill not being playable, and being blond. Why the hell is she blond? No Claire, either. Honestly, who is Sheva, and why should I care, even slightly?
4. The final boss. SPOILER ALERT

It’s Wesker. This was a major problem for me. Wesker had always been the untouchable character in Resident Evil. You only ever interacted with him in cutscenes. He’s only grown more powerful as the series has advanced, to the point where fighting him fair is just ludicrous. What bothered me far more was his personality change. Wesker was always the cool, calculating character. Now he’s growing more and more insane, and just maintains his calm voice. He’s acting less rationally, and fell into the godawful cliche of “becoming a god to rule over all of humanity.” Seriously, Wesker? THAT’S your angle? What really did me in, though, was his transformation at the end of the game. It was lame, plain and simple. That, and it looks like you kill him. Really? Kill Wesker? That removes a lot of the magic of Resident Evil for me. The “big five” are all dead – Marcus, Ashford, Birkin, Spencer, and Wesker. There are literally no more villains, unless you get some corny underground group attempting to resurrect Umbrella. RE5 HAS to be the end of the series. Where else could it go?

END SPOILERS

Well, that’s my rant. Otherwise, the gameplay was fun, the bosses were original, Irving was fun to watch, and the coop play was amazing. But…wait. No H.U.N.K. in Mercenary Mode? Oh, COME ON.

Totally take your time dude, please. We don’t want you burning yourself out just to entertain us. And don’t worry about the Youtards, they always want moar-moar-moar-moar-MOAR!! (Leave Spoony alone!)

A geodesic white head wouldn’t have popped.

I love the SWAT 4 stuff, so don’t feel bad about putting FF aside to do something else! It’s great to see new things when they pop up unexpectedly.

Honestly, you would be great for a review show that reviews everything from comics to video games to movies. In my opinion it would be great for a network like G4 or Spike but I am not an expert. Keep up with the great work.

first things first
what kind of morons control TV, damn you are the spoony, they should kill a talk show just to put you

i would very much like you to review sega games, because every one is going about how awsome nes is, and it pisses me off
shinobi 3 any one

the neverhood (dreamworks)=> very old but a damn good game made with clay
Hugos House of Horrors => i will praise if you can find it , it is on a floppy, but also a very interesting old game

half life 1 versus half life 2=> continuity of the plot and hl2 just sucks
space force rouge universe=> say you like a cheating AI, yes you do, also worst space simulation ever
nfs pro street and nfs undercover=> no one ever reviews them , why there bad , it could be funny

play boiling point, then play farcry 2, then tell me Farcry2 isn’t a ripoff

It’s another Resident Evil game, it has a nice story with the standard RE has done so far, but yeah, there are so many comments already about how the enemies are recycled from Resident Evil 4, the controls are all the same as RE4, some of the sound effects are EXACTLY the same to RE4. I mean later in the game you fight guys shooting guns and rocket launchers at you and you cant do the Gears of War cover system or MGS4′s 3 person shooting feel to it. You cant move while you shoot. For me the voice acting is the same as the other RE games, cheesy, over blown and cliche. But that’s the kind of story with all the other games. Oh yeah and in multiplayer, no voice talking either. I wanna tell people to cover me to shoot something, but nope. I am not regretting buying this game, but I knew this wasn’t going to be new after watching all the previews of the game so I didnt go into this game with high hopes.

I wish I could be there and review the games and movies too. But as Spoony is makeing it clear… MONEY – CASH – DOLLERS. But in order to do that, I need a steady income to get all the gear i need. I don’t evem have an xbox or a PS3. I just have the this PC and it’s OK. But in order to do something more then just surf or play or work on it i need more.

Game Damage(The show with the Australian Gamer founders(Matt and Yug) and Yahtzee) went fairly good as far as we know. They talked about it in the end of one of Australian Gamer’s podcasts(http://www.australiangamer.com/podcast/153_gamedamage_pilot_feedback_games_of_2009_mgs_on_the_iphone.html). They have also mentioned in their blog that it isn’t a question about “if”, but “when” and “who”(http://www.gamedamage.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2008).

They’re all writers spoony.

Get yout ass on Empire Spoony. Its one the the best games I’ve ever played.

I believe in you spoony. If WCG Ultimate Gamer can get on tv any of your shows should be able too.

It sounds like so much work you do to make the reviews. Thanks so much for going through all that just to entertain us, I really appreciate it.

I’ll admit I don’t pay much attention to modern games.
But from what I’ve seen, the biggest problem today isn’t voice acting, it’s the visual acting. 3D models just aren’t good actors, and the voices can’t compensate for that.
If I was an actor, I’d be loathe to get involved with video games because no matter how good you are, the animated models will make you look bad.

You may hate doing the FF8 reviews, Spoony, but let me tell you, a heck of a lot of people enjoy them – including me. It’s a happy day when one of your reviews goes up. For that matter, I’m enjoying the SWAT stuff too, though I don’t think you’re getting killed enough. :D Keep it up, man.

Good vids as usual Spoony. I don’t really care if you continue the FF8 series or not just as long as you keep review things in your usual fashion it’ll be awesome. Have you considered actually trying to review a good game as you would any other game to show people how it would be like because every game has it’s flaws. I remember you mentioning the Ultima games in one of your reviews (can’t remember exactly which one) and was wondering what your take on them are and would love to see a review if you have any of them (or I could get a hold of the NES games that me and my bro had I would send you Ultima Exodus)

Nice third eye thar! Maybe some makeup could hide it. Steal some from your mother!

If I had the money, and if I ever get the money, I would totally try to launch you into TV, or at the very least invest in you! I’m not there yet, but you never know. You’re right about TV needing to have better shows. I don’t know for other people, but I literally don’t watch TV anymore. I sometimes force myself to see what’s currently popular on the music channels, but on the whole, I watch shows on the internet. I’m surprised that TV executives aren’t catching on this. The mere fact that you guys (AVGN, Nostalgia Critic, etc) are so popular online should be an argument. TV executives love money and minimal risks. You guys have already proven you were good and could father a significant audience – faithful audience at that – so why don’t they consider doing something with you?

TV is behind in terms of knowing what people want/like. I hope for you that they catch up soon, or else I’ll have to get rich quick to fund your ass. In the meantime, I promote your stuff to EVERYONE I can lay my hands on.

I liked your exasperated description of Resident Evil 5, but really Spoony, it’s predecessor is never worth venerating unqualified; you just sound like everyone else when you describe Resident Evil 4. Also, could you please get your terminology straight? Because if it’s riding a motorbike, then I highly doubt it’s a zombie.

Honestly while I accept that 4.0 had its benefits, it was more streamlined and quicker played and what not I just couldn’t get past some of the changes lore wise in the settings and play style wise in the mechanics. I started DnD a few years back with a 3.0/3.5 blend, (my DM felt 3.5 made the player OP but that it still had benefits) and when 4.0 came out I found it sort of a shock from what I’d just gotten used to. Tried it but didn’t really like it and am now currently waiting for the release of Pathfinder.

Ok 4 chapters is like only 1/4th of RE5 I think that’s a bit early for you to say anything about it. I really don’t see how he can say Gears of War 2 does Co-Op better. They do it equally well if anything. Though in my opinion the need to share supplies only makes RE5′s co-op that much stronger than Gears where its just shoot at the same guys an pick up your buddy if he goes down. Also RE5′s voice acting is not terrible. It’s probably the first game in the whole series with passable voice acting. Seriously point out where the voice acting was bad cause I honestly didn’t notice it this time around. The one legitimate “complaint” would be its too similar to 4. But hell isn’t that what almost all sequels do these days? Halo 3 was too similar to Halo 2. Gears of War 2 was too similar to Gears of War. Etc. forever. Why is suddenly such a big deal for RE5?

I’ve noticed that alot of fans of the Resident Evil series just seem to criticize that 4 and 5 didn’t go along the same story line and didn’t feature the T-Virus. I honestly prefered the escape from the standard scenario of the series. The sooner that game companies stop listening to the fans and concentrate on producing a good, functional game, the sooner better games will be produced.

yer going to be disappointed with empire:total war if you enjoyed a lot of the last games. it looks like they tried to do a lot with it, and failed. mostly in the programming. it crashes a lot, they failed when it comes to allowing install from the cd, and saves seem to currupt just for the fun of it. i have to wonder if they even beta tested the bastard.
that said… im still going to play it until i conquer the three hemispheres that are presented to me >.>

I don’t thing RE5 was as good as RE4. I think re4 was really creepy, and is one of the few games, if not maybe the only one I think is really scary||creepy, maybe it’s because you’re alone, and in the woods, with houses made out of rotten wood wich was just as rotten as the zombies themselves, it was really well made, good mood. In RE5 when your head gets cut off by chainsaw, it is censored, kind of, outside picture. But not in 4, and that is one of the things I like about 4, it was raw and honest! Just like the gameover title says “Your Dead!”. I liked the mood in 4, that mood was not in 5, so I think they were really different, 5 was not creepy, not scary, and had terrible voice acting.

A bit off topic, but I would like to contribute a question to “Ask Spoony.” I liked your Most Awesome Thing of the Week in the past. Are those ever coming back?

Hey, love your stuff.

I just wanted to chime in (as I’m sure about a bajillion other have, but I’m not about to read 13 pages of comments) about 4th Ed. I must admit, I was slightly biased against 4th Ed before I ever saw it (mostly because I was really happy with 3.5 and variations thereof). That aside, I have played a 30 lvl dungeon crawl and have decided two things: combat is pretty awesome; and everything else really isn’t. 4th Ed isn’t bad, however I think it is wholly unnecessary when you have a great system in 3.5 (especially if you’re playing a tweaked version like Pathfinder).

Love the monkey island music used — one of my favorite old school games it seems like not a lot of people know about.

I get what you are saying about the voice actor things. There’s a ton of people on VAA that are really good voice actors, and they don’t get paid a cent. It is too bad that people do not look to the internet for talent as you pointed out in two parts of your video.

I know I'm gonna get some hate on this but, here it goes. I'm actually more partial to the old school style of survival horror, so I didn't much care for RE4. And because of RE5 being just like it, but in a new setting, I haven't even tried a demo of it, and I won't be playing it at all. I would rather go back and play RE2 once more.

“You didn't need to know that” LOL

I hear ya Spoony when it comes to trying to get a show going. A friend and I had a proposal back in the mid 90′s for a “Haunted House” show and NO ONE listened to us. Suddenly, two plumbers do a Ghost hunting show and everybody goes ape for it. Guess it depends on right place right time. I’m sure your day will come Spoony.

Hey, you know a Warlord may heal his units in a very simple way, if you think about it. If I roleplay’d a warlord, he would get his units off the ground through a basic “Get up and fight or I’ll fucking KILL you!” But that just seems the major difference between the Cleric and Warlord. Like you said, it boils down to if your RPing style. If you want a light or chivalrous character, go Cleric. If you want a dark (not necessarily bad) guy who takes a more chaotic approach to thing, you want a warlord. If you want indifferent, neutral charter, make a bard. Other than the RP aspects of that, there isn’t much of a difference, as you said.

I know this an old video (Part 1 – Intro) about problems that people have probably gotten over  long time ago but I am glad you left youtube and that we can now watch over 1h long videos without any restrictions or any kind of censorship on your site. The ads aren’t that big of a problem when basically get free entertaining. Thanks for everything Spoony.

Steven Segal against vampires ??? I noticed you advised against it but damn, this is something i gotta see for myself lol.

TV? actually i watch mostly either comedies, DVDs or Internet reviewers.

lets see, The Angry Video game Nerd, Linkara, SFdebris, theMoviepreviewcritic, Bobsheaux. and others, just entertaining to watch nerds talk about what they like best.
:P

and Youtube? Youtube sucks man, its okay in use and to watch video’s but to upload video’s there is a big change it will be removed for some reason. happened to me once, still have no clue what was the matter.

and no Spoony i didn’t need to know about that :P
