For me I think the "look how snarky and cynical I am" style of reviewer had a very short built-in expiry date. It was old long before the current crop of YouTube "personalities" got in on the action. It's amazing to me that guys like Spoony are still doing it in 2015 and still on their own weird sites using Vimeo players or whatever. That whole genre feels like a complete relic.

poo poo, Spoony's got a Patreon account that drops him 55k a year for (at this point) putting out a video every couple of weeks gurgling incoherently about WWE. Being a relic pays pretty well.

poo poo, 55k is like what the NXT roster earns. I guess Spoony is a draw after all, brother.

theyre not really incoherent, he's pretty much right on the money with his analysis. it's just really loving long and boring and takes him forever to make the simplest of points. seriously his rants are longer than the drat ppvs/movies at this point. But what the gently caress he has a girl, a dog, and a brand new house so I guess it works. My dumb rear end still watches him.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

The best thing to happen to him was getting the hell away from TGWTG and actually getting on his meds. I still don't watch him since, frankly, I stopped finding his content either funny or informative when I got the Observer for wrestling and others for video games. But good on the guy for turning his life around from the pit he was being driven in to, and getting the help he needed.

Yeah it helps that a lot of the better ones realized "poo poo this AVGN ripoff poo poo isn't going to last forever, try something else that is more informative and not being a screaming rear end in a top hat" and changed up the format to varying levels of success. (I mean even James slowed down on the AVGN and his best work will always be Monster Madness) The true kings are Red Letter Media, though that's a little unfair seeing how they have some semblance of professionalism/an actual studio.

Though enough about internet critics (sorry I brought it up) Simon Gotch also has really really good taste in film

A Namekian split into two. He (Piccolo) being the evil of the two. He trains with weighted clothing and trying to get his driver's license. He's also Gohan's Godfather.

I see Orton as a Trunk myself, second generation star and all. Piccolo's probably more of a Dolph Ziggler, in that he can get the crap beat out of him and yet somehow recover in time for the next show.
