Noah’s commentary is here.

The Blackest Night, DC Comics’ latest crossover event, has come to resurrect Spoony as a Black Lantern! Can Linkara survive his attack and the games the Black Lantern ring brings?!

    You two should keep doing stuff together, mostly games.
    I mean, you two are the only ones on TGWTG who have Lets Plays

    FLYING FOR JUSTICE

    That song alone makes the SCD version worth buying. The best Spiderman game ever made,though,would have to be the PS1/N64/PC/DC Spiderman. None of the other games even come close to capturing the comic book essence like that game did.

    The funny thing is that the Sega CD version of Spiderman vs. Kingpin is about one hundred million times better. It's probably the absolute best Spiderman game ever made.
  • fidget
    you and linkara shoudl keep doing stuff together, your a great team.
    I also have a game gear, still got it tho the d-pads busted. I agree sonic portable was a demon. I belive the hardest one I had was acutally prince of persia - then again the 2d version any format seemed to be a demon
    Also on a random note - you being undead/evil is hot :$

    You should do some sort epic battle with the termilinkara and Doctor Insano saves the day that would be awesome.

    The Amazing Spiderman versus the Kingpin was kind of awesome for the Sega CD. I really liked the anime cutscenes, and the CD music was good. Still it is basically the same gameplay as the Genesis version. I am not much of platform gamer, but I was able to beat the game. Plot is stupid, but its the first Spiderman game I played that actually felt like Spiderman (Starting on Atari 2600, and working our way up to some terrible NES games).

    I found the Captain America and the Avengers game to be an uninspired beat-em up for Genesis. If you are going to beat up of waves of like colored enemies on the Genesis, the name of the game you should be playing is Golden Axe. If you prefer to use a gun, the name of the game is Gunstar Heroes (pure awesomeness in two player). Altered Beast gets points for coolness (POWER UP!), and Streets of Rage is runner up to Golden Axe for pure smashing face factor as a beat-em up and the twist. Then again, maybe you should bring out the Super NES for Final Fight and Batman Returns, or Turbo 16 for Splatterhouse, or even the NES for TMNT 2: The Arcade game. With so many beat-em up options, there is no reason to play a very uninspired beat-em up.

    @70/Brian: To be honest it's not really been explained yet. I've seen some constructs getting made, but they've not been used for combat purposes yet. The few key Black Lanterns we've seen so far have either used weapons or their own powers (I have yet to read the latest BN Batman and GLC so I appreciate my knowledge is a little out of date).

    I've got to be honest, when I saw the title I was expecting you two to talk about Blackest Night. The review was still a great idea and I liked what you did with the Black Lantern ring. Also loved the plot points and I can't WAIT to see how it develops in Linkara and Spoony's videos.

    Hope you two can crossover again soon as I think your colabs are always the best.

    HEY!!!

    LINKARA GLANCED UP AT THE CAMERA NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO, SO HE CLEARLY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN HE SHOULD START TALKING!!! THAT'S SOOOOO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!
  • Ashenge
    Linkara and Spoony is such a good pairing. I don't see much like it online. Everybody's always going for schtick and conflict with such duos. But these two just...hit the spot for me.
  • Emperor_Z
    But don't phoenix downs kill zombies?
  • Ooooh....interesting plot twisties!
    On a side note, HEY LINKARA!....
    If you're still in the Spoony- cloning business, I'd to place a standing order of 1 (one) Noah. Just tell me your price tag (plus shipping and handling) and I will cut you a check right this minute. (Just don't forget to punch a few holes in his postal container.) Thank you from grateful customer....

    Gotta say, I'm a fan of the reviews that have their own plots. And this is definitely one of the best.
  • peachadelic
    I nearly spit out my drink when Spoony said "Pictures of a guy in a forklift coming at you!? 50 Bucks!"

    @80

    He has his own website cause most of the people on TGWTG are also fetured on/ have their own other websites. Digram that sentance! Anyway bad grammer aside, a considerable amount of Spoony's content is still exclusive to TSE.
  • godofplague
    Vision could phase in the arcade game and Ironmans lasers were better thsn everyone elses range.

    I think cap was the strongest upclose and hawk eye was th all arounder. None of this mattered in the snes version though
  • godofplague
    Spoony just can't get a break.

    I liked the captain america game even if the arcade version was much better
  • Also, damn, Spoony. You should've reviewed the original Arcade version of Captain America and The Avengers! Now THAT's a classic. The Genesis version is... passable.

    But the SNES version.

    People have died after playing it.
  • LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELD
  • @ 83 Bluecho "So wait…which Spoony was killed by the Linkara Terminator?"

    It was the original Spoony, Bluecho. The Spoony-clone is still in Arizona. Also I wonder if Noah relizes that he can use this bit to give us the official story to Dr. Insano. The only question is which Spoony will become our favorite nutball scientist? The clone or the original?
  • Zeta
    You failed to mention that the designers of Captain America and the Avengers were under the impression that the Vision is either a woman or the world's most flamboyant homosexual robot.
  • whiteandornerdy
    Regarding MechaLinkara's plans: is this going to become some sort of build-up to the 2nd Aniversary video on TGWTG?

    Here's my idea: MechaLinkara is assembling an army in order to take over not only AT4W, but the whole TGWTG site. The project will also involve Dr. Insano, will be funded by Michael Bay, and is all conducted by Melvin, Brother of the Joker.

    Stupid? Maybe. Insane? Probably. Awesome? Most Definitely!
  • So wait...which Spoony was killed by the Linkara Terminator? Was it the Original Spoony that Linkara resurrected, or the clone Spoony? The last two scenes need a transition sequence, because one minute Spoony intends to kill his clone, and the next scene he just comes out of the bathroom like nothing happened. What the Crap?

    Other than that, I really enjoy this development. So these videos actually have an overarching plot. Cool.
  • Seiber
    Hey, more plot! Awesome!
  • Ryoku84
    Same here, you're kinda making me wonder why you have your own site.
  • Jon
    Got to tell you spoon.. i use to enjoy watching your reviews.. cause they were...well... reviews of a sort. If i wanted to see the guy with the glasses, NC and all the others i would be on there sites checking them out.
  • Oyster
