Eh, even when I listen live I'm too :geno: to ever actually call in, as I suspect most listeners are. It would be nice to hear a greater variety of callers, but I'm not surprised that its a smaller group that consistently calls in.

Also, has anyone figured out how LtCommanderArmstrong always manages to be the first caller? My best guess is witchcraft.

I have no idea. All I know is that every time I try to get on, I get drowned out by the same people that call in and get annoyed when I've got to listen to the same jerkoff that's Korey's bff take up ten minutes of the show.

Many people on the site rightfully pointing out that while their margins are down, cutting their budget by so much and removing 90% of the content is going to make things worse.

At the same time, they absolutely couldn't continue what they were doing or the site would be gone/dropped by Hollywood.com. Slowly regrowing is a better plan than hoping the highs will eventually pay for all the new content.

The Tuesday Daily show seems to be a lesser Remote Viewing (Still with Korey and Cyrus).

They're also doing what seems to be a weekly spoiler call-in show.

So yeah, looks like Spill 2.0 is going to be the Korey show featuring the rest of the Spill crew. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Korey is great and all and I really like the The Daily Spill so far but definitely want a Leon + Cyrus show.

With how stressed and busy Korey was before, how can he manage devoting at least an hour each day to these daily spills. Maybe mix it up, get in Co Host with Cyrus or something.

I've gotten used to Jason at this stage, it's a shame we won't hear Nicky Poo any time soon. :britain:

The Loading Bar Rage Select also released a Questions and Answers video explaining what they can't use at the moment (Hollywood.com / Spill.com own) and their plans for the future.

List of things gone / unavailable:

Professor Jeff (Character name)
Red Dead Ridiculous Series
Garfieldius!!!
The Loading Bar name (Hollywood.com / Spill.com own)

New things to come:
Website - Rageselect.com (coming next week - they hope)
Special Guests
A video a day (they hope to build up an archive on their website)
May have Nick Hodges (Nicky Poo) on for a Happy Hour Let's Play soon
May have Kevin on for a Happy Hour Let's Play when he is available
Possible call in show using Google online chat system - possibly allows calls / voicechat from around the world
New Playthroughs of shorter games
Reviews
Much more!

Here's the link to the video:

It's a shame they lost all the Loading Bar rights. Happy Hour sounds so much better than 'Lets Play', and I'm still not entirely sure what Rage Select is supposed to mean. Is it a pun or reference or something that I'm missing? :iiam:

They are looking for suggestions on what to call their LP's, just post a comment to their latest LP. They know calling it an LP will lead to it getting lost in the shuffle.

Wait Hollywood.com actually owns the rights to a player character of a property they themselves don't actually own? :psyduck:

E: It just seems like a waste of time and money to trademark on something that is not even a character but rather a joke. No wonder why Spill has been getting wrecked lately.

It doesn't cost Hollywood.com anything. They signed contracts that give up rights to whatever content they produced under the Spill name.

Jeff and Jason have finally gotten up their own website, https://rageselect.com, where they have some reviews, podcasts, videos and will show their E3 coverage on the site.

Now we can never mention them again and focus on Spill.com. I'm impressed with how much content both Spill and RageSelect are putting out over the past 2 weeks.

Any Adam Sandler or Kevin James-related review that has Co-Host is gold, because of how much he loves the former (and is alone in that among the group) and despises the latter.

I love these guys. I do. But i'm not enjoying their movie reviews so much any more. I've disagreed with them way too much lately. I mean, they'll give a film a Matinee, but they'll go ahead and trash it. I don't know. I really disagreed with their Pacific Rim review, didn't agree with their Man of Steel review, and now Thor 2.

Maybe they're just getting old and bitter. That being said, I still love their podcasts, so they're not putting me off totally.

They really need another show on their podcasts. I guess that was going to be the new Cyrus/Leon show before everything fell apart over there.

They kinda were on different fences on Pac Rim. I know the last two I listened to were hilarious just because of the stories (One Direction and Last Vegas), dunno about the reviews since I haven't seen either movie.

Yeah, the reviews I don't really care about end up being the best. Especially One Direction. I was loving rolling. But it's the blockbusters of late that have frustrated me when it comes to their reviews. They just seem to be all over the place, and I can't even really jive with them as much.

And yes, I do think they need a new podcast. Cyrus and Leon need their own area too. They work well together.

Cyrus and Leon already have their own podcast (again) on a different site. You have to realize the Spill crew sees far more movies than anyone will ever see (especially Cyrus) so what they see will be different than the average person that sees the movies shown in actual theaters.

12:47 fungusmonkey: I was told people had questions. I don't know much (you're better off asking Korey) but I do know that <censored> owns everything on the site
12:47 fungusmonkey: So you absolutely cannot post that content up somewhere else
12:47 fungusmonkey: and believe me, they're real hardcore about copyright infringement
12:48 ChristopherWelchFan: But if the site ends, how can we revisit the reviews and such?
12:48 fungusmonkey: But, you are welcome and encouraged to download the podcasts and videos for yourselves on your own computer
12:48 fungusmonkey: I don't know what Hollywood plans on doing with the site when we're all gone, but I imagine they'll just shut it off
