The Spoony Experiment

Something big is coming…

by Spoony on July 1, 2009 · View Comments

I’m sorry that I’ve been so quiet lately. It’s been a rough month with technical problems, but also a very uplifting one with the amazing show of generosity and support from the fans. It’s been a struggle, but I think I’m making some progress getting back to status quo.

Something big has come up, and I’ve decided to drop everything and write a very special review– probably one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done from a technical standpoint. But I think it’ll be a fitting sendoff to mark the end of an era. I’ll have to remain mysterious for now, but rest assured, things will never be the same again.

  • You guys are seriously bad at guessing. =P

    Spoony is my all time favorite reviewer, and this is my favorite site. Nobody else on TGWTG could take his place in my mind, and not even the AVGN does it better. Spoony makes the best videos, the funniest references, and has me going back to look at his old reviews all the time when there isn't any new stuff. It's during that time that I remember all the old jokes and can take the time to appreciate all the time he took.

    I hope everything works out, and I hope this new special review isn't too hard on you in the SCIENCE-y area. I'm certainly looking forward to it like everyone else on your site, but I'll be patient and rewatch some of my favorites in the meantime. For everyone else, I suggest Make my Video, Sewer Shark, Demolition Man, Terror T.R.A.X., Samurai Zombie Nation, and I'm about to go watch Johnny Mnemonic again right now.

    See you all... IN THE FUTURE!

    It won't be something personal like marriage etc, I bet. Guys, he's talking about a new REVIEW, a big, challenging REVIEW. Not a challenging point of his personal life. So I'm guessing... well, frankly, I have no idea, can't wait though, been here for a good long time, this oughta be cool.

    Something big is coming? Spoony hasn't been updating because he has constipation?

    Keep on squeezing Spoony it will come out eventually!
  • Sjuge
    We fear change.
  • tarvok
    ok who's pregnant or getting married... or maybe a move in roommate
  • Myst
    i don't mind that Spoony has multiple projects unfinished out there. it just means that we will have a lot of stuff to look forward to down the road. As for this "Something big is coming" im curious as to what it could be. so i will be waiting eagerly for any info on this. In the mean time i would love more of those "Reasons i shouldn't write screenplays" i really enjoyed those.

    I look forward to seeing more on the Ripper btw.

    Spoony you need to get a countdown website and leak it to someone and have it cownt down to another clock leading to an anouncement that almost everyone say coming but put a link on the page that leads to the real suprise

    If it's your mic, we can hear you amazingly fine on the on-board mic!!!!!! And as for the old camera...

    DON'T DESTROY IT! IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!!!

    Guesses:

    1.Going outside to film - mentioned on the "Static" blog
    2. The launch of the Blistered Thumbs site
    3. Another TGWTG get together - Lee mentioned the possibilty in his podcast
    4. Moving out
    5. Getting married
    6. Destruction of the old camera
    7. Team up with another TGWTG member
    8. Road Trip

    I completely agree with #190 V on that, some times I forget so save the stories I write and then I feel like its more of a chore to try and remember ever last detail. sometimes I'd rather dump a project that I lost my place on than try to redo it.

    #184 A Former Fan.

    Lighten up, man.
    He did TWO reviews only to find they had no audio - wouldn't that be discouraging to you?
    He hasn't left any of his old projects, he's just putting them on hiatus to do this.
  • Wormwoods
    I also check the site every day in hopes of a new video, but know that you are producing quality here. I hope that the news is that you are getting PAID! If not, you should. The Karl Malden tribute suggestion was the best. Viva Spoony!
  • Can't wait man. Sorry about the technical difficulties that's a bummer.
  • SpoonyTwo
    He's inviting James Rolfe to his place and finishes FFVIII.
  • poop
    You saw Postal and liked it?
    You found a part of ff8 that you CAN'T bitch about?
    You're going on a fast food free diet?

    TELL US!!!
  • sfried
    I just saw your other post about mic problems.

    You might want to ask the twit.tv guys for some advise, since Leo Laport definitely has experience in broacasting quality and things like that. Or maybe you already did...
  • A Former Fan.
    Are you really this incapable of picking something and sticking with it, Spoony? You haven't finished any of your current 'projects', and you expect us to get excited about something NEW you're going to start and probably never finish?

    Count me out.

    Spooning with Spoony 2 : Revenge of the Shocker?
  • Uppercaseccc
    I think it might be a new cammra or him moving out but still looking forwored to what it is spoony hopfuly somuthing epic
  • My guess is that this is related to the end of TGWTG and the start of Channel Awesome.
    But I could be wrong.
  • dingo drawer again
    P.S. could you explain how you modified FF8 files so you have space for all the spells.
  • dingo drawer
    Isn't it obvious - FF8 drawing montage. You know every spell draw to max on three characters (maybe even six characters, oh dear lord, that's heavenly awesome). I'm so excited, I just can't hide it. Today, when I was walking home, I wanted to scream to whole world: "GOD DAMN, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ULTIMATE OF ULTIMATES IS COMING - DRAWING COMPILATION. YOU DRAW UNTIL YOU CAN'T NO MORE!!!!"
  • Rad86
    Alright Noah! Good luck :D We'll see your plan Spoony man *evil laugh*
  • Shamack
    I am warning you now Spoony

    If you change the look of the site, you will get shot
    If you review a barbie game, you will get shot
    If you cancel the FFVIII reviews, you will get shot
    If you team up with me in SWAT4, you will get flashbanged

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    A few possible explanations, based on absolutely nothing but raw speculation;

    - It's about his new camera.
    - He struck a deal with another site for a regular paycheck.
    - He got a new apartment / place of residence.
    - He got a crew, or at least some kind of assistance.

    If the end of the era thing isn't referring to his own site (though I'm guessing it is);
    - Some kind of tribute to Michael Jackson or Billy Mays.

    It will probably be something I never would have thought of. Regardless, I'm sure it will be awesome.
