Spoony's does more SWAT 4 - General

Some of you might remember how he did a SWAT 4 LP a while back, he's doing the expansion now. [video=youtube;Qfb5RGqOrTQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfb5RGqOrTQ[/video] It's a shame he didn't do more commentary.

Spoony is still going? I thought he resigned himself to doing hour long rants about terrible films since his break down

youre in my way sir

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;42543010]Spoony is still going? I thought he resigned himself to doing hour long rants about terrible films since his break down[/QUOTE] to be honest, basically everything Spoony does is a breakdown. the guy really has serious problems.

stop resisting

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;42543010]Spoony is still going? I thought he resigned himself to doing hour long rants about terrible films since his break down[/QUOTE] In my opinion he's picked up since June 20th. He's been consistently updating on a monthly basis since then, covering board games, his counter monkey stuff, and doing riffs and movie vlogs all at once. That being said if you still only want stuff like game reviews or the swat let's plays, you'll probably still be disappointed.

He's not doing anywhere near as much editing work though, so the material isn't anywhere near as entertaining to watch.

i miss playing swat 4 and the expansion for it......dont know where my copy went :(

[QUOTE=Cone;42544084]to be honest, basically everything Spoony does is a breakdown. the guy really has serious problems.[/QUOTE] Care to elaborate? I only just recently heard of this guy.

[QUOTE=Winters;42549603]Care to elaborate? I only just recently heard of this guy.[/QUOTE] He is a bipolar game reviewer with depression who used to put out some really high quality stuff to the point he was one of the main video reviewers on TGWTG (which I assumed was his main source of income for a while). He then began dating this girl, she broke up and then began cyber bullying him if I remember correctly. This caused him to become somewhat unstable and then TGWTG dumped him because Obscurous Lupa, a super-feminist, got mad he made a rape joke on twitter, and got him fired. TGWTG then went on this unprofessional streak for a week, even getting with Spoony's Ex on twitter to make fun of him, as well as trying to purge his content and his fans through mass bannings from the site. TL:DR verison: He is a somewhat unstable video reviewer/content creator that has been screwed over a couple of times.

[QUOTE=Winters;42549603]Care to elaborate? I only just recently heard of this guy.[/QUOTE] In addition to the issues cited above, he's known for being very vocal and hostile off the cuff towards people, especially on Twitter and his Livestreams. It's hard to tell how much of it is an act, and how much of it is personal issues due to his persona being very much an exaggerated version of himself, unlike say, Doug Walker or James Rofle, who have very clear divisions both in personality and appearance when they are their respective characters. He also has a very vocal segment of his fanbase that is immensely divided and hostile. If you really enjoyed this though, I'd recommend watching his [url=http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpaNqz1vDmSixriNnNTD3FKXJ5D_y9wKS]"Ultima Retrospective"[/url], as well as his [url=http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/game-reviews/fmv-hell/]"FMV Hell"[/url] series and the [url=http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/lets-play/swat-4/]SWAT 4[/url] Let's Play Series.

[QUOTE=Paramud;42549711]He's also had some bouts of severe depression.[/QUOTE] He's confirmed bipolar. After he was diagnosed he started taking medication that helped stabilize his emotional issues and allowed him to start trying to turn his life around. How sucessful he's been depends on who you ask. The fact that he stopped working with people who swear making blip videos are a permanently sustainable full-time job probably also helped.

If there's demand, it's a job.

Are you fucking kidding me? literally 2 days ago I thought to myself "Hmm, I wonder what Spoony's been up to, I haven't seen his videos in years, I should totally re-watch that great SWAT 4 playthrough he did." And now this exists. Shit, it's just like how I joked about Micheal Jackson dying the night before he ACTUALLY died. Am... am I psychic you guys?

[QUOTE=The Castro;42560722] [sp]Better known as Lewis (Time To Fuck A Thirteen Y'old) Lovhaug[/sp][/QUOTE] What?

[QUOTE=The mouse;42561452]What?[/QUOTE] TGWTG is pretty much a breeding ground for really disturbing rumors about its contributors, half of which probably come from the contributors themselves since every one of them except Doug seems to have at least one other contributor they despise with an almost cartoonish intensity.

I have been watching Spoony's videos for many years now, and I honestly think that it has gotten a lot better since the break with TGWTG. I like him mainly for his reviewing style, since it doesn't come off as forced as the style of a lot of the other reviewers. That, and he also have a fantastic sense of humour in my opinion - he simply doesn' shy away from any subject. Often, he promotes the unstable side of himsel during reviews, which makes his style quite unique when coupled with his fucked up humour, even thouh this was probably the main cause of the break with TGWTG.

[QUOTE=The Castro;42560722]*cough* Linkara *cough* [sp]Better known as Lewis (Time To Fuck A Thirteen Y'old) Lovhaug[/sp][/QUOTE] I'm calling bullshit on this.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;42563460]I'm calling bullshit on this.[/QUOTE] He didn't actually fuck a minor, but on his twitter he talks about being really familiar with Japanese consent laws or something like that and sharing his knowledge with Doug for his Sailor Moon videos.

The joke that got him fired wasn't even a rape joke either, it was a bondage joke and he was closeish friends with the girl he sent it to. Lupa (Who is nuts by the way, and a massive fucking hypocrite) freaked the fuck out and told on him to Holly, the PR person for That Guy with the Glasses, who suspended, then fired him. Holly should have been fired, considering that immediately afterwards, she sent a message to Scarlett, Spoony's ex, who had been out of his life for [B]over a year[/B] and was like "WE GOT HIM!". Yes, taunt the guy with mental health problems by celebrating with someone who he considers having done harsh damage to him. Don't get me wrong, Spoony is no saint, but Jesus Christ they're all children.

While we're at it, here's The Amazing Atheist's video about how he left the site. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rQFaSCc8uQ[/media] I don't like TAA at all but it's still an interesting watch.

Also, I think I still have that SS somewhere, I can hunt for it if you want.

SWAT 4 looks like fun.

We need SWAT 5

Come on, it must suck when you're trying to get an audience but you're constantly pushed off the front page because viewcounts, and those with the viewers don't need the exposure, fans will find their stuff just fine. As for the bit at the end, yes the viewer demographic probably is hugely homophobic, it sounds like a legitimate concern. [editline]e[/editline] Oh and now I've gane and watched the 80s video he mentioned, it was really lazy and just terrible anyway - totally nothing worth making a big deal over

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;42567689]I didn't even know he was ever part of TGWTG.[/QUOTE] Yeah, he reviewed movie trailers. It wasn't very good. Also for his Phantom Menace review that his fans kept asking for, he just made a video pretty much telling them to watch the RLM review.
