It's nice that Spoony can finally admit to himself that he's a pathetic fucking loser and that he gave up years ago. Sad thing is he could easily make zero effort videos and still carve out some pathetic form of existence if he could stop with the sad brain for just one second (If Angry Fucking Joe of all people can be going on almost 20 years, anyone could), but he is truly the saddest man on the Internet. Thanks for the memories, I guess.
He was top before CA, during, and sometime after. Look at those clips above. All are long, long gone except Doug. Joe wasn't in it, but he adapted and I hate Joe with a passion. Spoony could've adapted. He could've done videos alone on the whole AEW disaster instead of late night tweets.

It is kinda sad to see such potential wasted, but he's also such a jerk about it all.

It really isn't a time capsule because that more or less is how people who attend cons look today. Out of shape people, unshaven men, people who dress bad. We all know the joke about the lack of deodorant at anime conventions.

This is just the type of people who are attracted to this way of life. There is a reason why you don't see good looking, nice dressed people at conventions unless they are one of the con guests with a table.
Fair enough, I stay very far away from any kind of con but I could envision them being about the same. Channel Awesome really didn’t attract the most physically gifted of people as their audience, that’s for sure.
 
With the Amazing Digital Circus smashing the box office, there's been talk about YouTube finally killing Hollywood. And with so many of the cast and cameos being YouTube or Newgrounds people, it really seems like Noah shot himself in the foot. If he had been able to keep producing videos and pivot to newer styles, he might have ended up in something like ADC, or maybe even an actual movie. I can't imagine what it's like to be a Gen X burnout who spent his life worshipping Hollywood, who was able to be successful on early YouTube but let it slip away, and then live to see YouTube slop blow a Star Wars movie out of the water.

That's really the same for just about every con. Although the fans aren't all necessarily like that. However you do have to ask yourself what sort of people would have the time to travel to a convention just for the opportunity to look at someone in person, and you'll have your answer. Channel Awesome, anime, tabletop gaming, scifi conventions, it's all the same shit with a different theme slapped on top of it.
 
Is "gf" the single one thing worth having in life?
I think to him yeah, the lack of April destroyed him. I think he's being honest with this because that's how it has been. I think if accepted WH in his life he might not be as sad, and for all we know she's dead now, no updates in a few years. Misery can make company.
 
just play some fucking video games without streaming your sadsack bullshit overtop of it.
Impossible for a man of Spoony's temprament. He'd have been better off going back to streaming and accepting his role as a punching bag for trolls, like Sifu or that guy who constantly has all caps meltdowns because people superchat him gore and other stuff to get him in trouble.
I'm just making a wild guess here, but I've heard people praising Majuular's Ultima videos for a while now, but I'm guessing he isn't just stealing or paying other people to get footage for him?
Can't speak for the Ultima videos specifically, but in his 3DO/Saturn RPG retrospectives he did play the games he reviewed, because he mentions going back to finish the ones he liked after completing the video.

He also gives shoutouts to the people who translated the Japan-exclusive titles like Baroque. I think there was one 3DO game where he used a streamer's footage because he couldn't get it to run (to the surprise of no one 3DO emulation isn't very popular).
 
Majulaar now makes the best Ultima content on Youtube, so who gives a flying fuck if he's too sad to make anymore content? Boo hoo, cry me a river. Say what you want about DSP, at least he still makes content instead of just sadposting about how he used to be hot shit 15 years ago or whatever.
I like to think Majuular is what Spoony would have become if he had, you know, become anything.
 
He hated each D&D release as they went more and more even as they got more and more woke which he should've liked. He just wouldn't learn any game mechanics and hated change in general so there's no way he could've kept up.
You kind of captured one of his problems right there, toxic nostalgia. Everything was always better before in his mind.
Highlander remake, terrible.
Any D&D after Advanced, why bother?
Ghost busters, if it doesn't involve a gorilla side kick he doesn't care.

To be fair, all those things(and most media nowdays) WAS better back then. Doesn't mean that Noah isn't a toxic fuckwit who ruined his life for no reason.

A lot of the stuff he complains about doesn't really get impacted the same way though.
D&D for example, sure the official materials are less... controversial then they would have been but you can always build your own setting, use 5E as the framework and home brew something all your own.
If the new Highlander sucks, keep enjoying the old one and hey, maybe make a video complaining about the new one... WHICH WAS HOW HE MADE A FUCKING LIVING.
 
Spoony: there's no way I could form a tabletop game group in Arizona, these yokel Chud fucks are too unsophisticated to know what a D20 is!
Meanwhile, Phoenix:

His Booomer insistence that Phoenix, a huge city that regularly hosts all matter of conventions and nerd-centered activities, in the current era where Nerd has been mainstream for 15 years, continues to be my pet peeve. It's so nonsensical I'm starting to think it's his way of saying he doesn't want to play with a bunch of dirty fat spics, because that's the only reason someone would legitimately think Phoenix is a bad place to do an inside group activity.
