Today’s my birthday. This is awesome. I can’t wait to watch it. Thanks.

I am gladdened to see the next session up here!

Great show guys. I actually watched both parts a while ago but am just now leaving a comment. I heard from fellow fans that you wasn’t going to do part 2 of your ultima review until after E3 was finished and died down a bit, and it has… I think… So now I am overly excited and patiently waiting for part 2 of your review!

Yep, this sucks. It’s the most boring thing I’ve ever seen. And I liked CounterMonkey vlogs, at least they were funny. This is boring crap.

What the holy fuck are you people going on about ? Spoony isn’t all that bad even when he’s pissy and you all seem terribly interested in his personal life considering you don’t seem to like him much. I think this is getting out of hand and we should just talk about things like you know, the video. As far as that’s concerned I always love seeing D&D games I’ve watched all the LordKat games and this seems to be going ok as well, I like Olag and Might/Mite and it seems like the story will pick up soon.

Could someone tell me when these live games are played, and where I could join the chat? I would really like to be a part of whatever this weird social experiment is.

dude, spoony, ignore these assholes.
A. this is a great, fun video series that’s actually made me want to get into rpgs.
B. dont let them rag on you for depression. ive been there. it sucks ass and can take a hell of a long time to get through.

hope you post the next session soon, if there are more btw

“It knows no logic or boundaries. You feel it randomly and without cause.
That is the true tragedy. You could be at your favorite theme park, or
with all your friends, or with your girlfriend watching your favorite
movie and you will STILL feel depressed. You can’t just “snap out of
it”, because it isn’t up to you when it happens.”

Did you base this on any studies? Any sort of scientific basis? If this happens, it’s either a chemical imbalance or you’re repressing something and you need to talk about it.

Have these pathfinder sessions been canned? Been a few months since the last.

Since no-one corrected your…inventive…account, I figure I’d better. I should also note that I’m a long-time fan of Obscurus Lupa and a new fan of Spoony, so I have no horse in this race.

Spoony’s actual comment unintentionally implied the rape of JesuOtaku — a fellow site member. Here it is: http://ohinternet.com/File:SpoonyTweet.jpg JesuOtaku just said “LOL ok…” in response, but even Spoony was disgusted by what he had said, so he immediately and publicly apologized to JO and they both moved on.

A MONTH later, Spoony’s long-time girlfriend (who was also Lupa’s friend) had cheated on & dumped him, and his sorrow was spilling over onto Twitter in the form of some pretty maudlin Tweets. Lupa said she was going to stop following his Tweets because he was whining too much about his post-break-up depression. He responded to Lupa sarcastically (basically saying “Oh, what a shame!”), at which point she dug up the JO Tweet and used it as pretext to attack him personally; she’d never liked him to begin with and was effectively retconning their Twitter feud to make herself look sympathetic and distract from what she actually was doing — picking on her friend’s heartbroken ex. That was why their feud quickly moved away from the supposed inciting incident (the already-resolved JO tweet “scandal”) and began to focus on personal attacks; that was also why their feud accrued so many outside participants; and it was also why JesuOtaku IGNORED the feud, not wanting to be used by either side in what amounted to a personal conflict between Lupa & Spoony. The fact that Spoony was already clinically depressed, and that Lupa was his ex’s friend, meant that their attacks (some Lupa-supporters were telling Spoony to kill himself with his dead brother’s gun) set him off and he went absolutely nuts on the internet for a week. As i said, i like Lupa a lot, but…Yeesh.

In the end, Spoony & Lupa both admitted fault and publicly apologized to one another and to one another’s fans, etc., which was great. Neither of them tried to excuse their behavior, a remarkably mature approach for two people who had behaved so badly so publicly. Spoony QUIT the site (he discusses that in his commentaries for the “To Boldly Flee” film) both because he legitimately felt like he and TGWTG weren’t increasing one another’s viewership and because (as often happens with depression) he felt like he needed to make a big life change. Thankfully he didn’t do what also usually follows a big depression-fueled life change. But learning about the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth re: Lupa (which surprised me since i was ready to hate Spoony, due to my admittedly-feminist assumption that Spoony was the only one at fault), and taught me not to jump to conclusions when a man is accused of behaving badly towards a woman.

I also find it infuriating when people get offended over others telling the kinds of jokes that they themselves tell; i read a really good article by a feminist blogger who wound up slamming the Nostalgia Chick for doing exactly that, and i think it applies to the whole Lupa/Spoony thing too. People were piling on the guy for telling exactly the kind of joke that they themselves (including Lupa!) tell all the dang time. What is more, it was the kind of joke that most of them (including JesuOtaku and the Nostalgia Chick) had PARTICIPATED IN, as in the 3 TGWTG “Spooning With Spoony” videos — which his initial JO Tweet was actually referencing!

So it was a big mess, everyone behaved badly, and there were no villains. Only humans.
