In all fairness there's no loving way the dude can afford all that with his level of popularity. I'm checking his videos now and he has thousands upon thousands of videos and a ton of them have maybe like 5,000 views at the absolute most, with most of them sitting at 1,000 views or so. Maybe he's getting cash due to the sheer volume he produces, the guy has over 34,000 loving videos but I can not imagine the guy can live high hog on that level of money. Maybe someone with better knowledge of youtube views=cash could help but I have a feeling he's assuming he's gonna make a boatload of money and he's about to get into a whooooole lotta debt. V----Just checked, he does have a Patreon which sits at $1,220.07 per month. Yeah, he's about to get himself into some money issues if he thinks he can afford a car and a home in a gated community with that.

The only way he's making any sort of money greater than pocket money is if he has a patreon with a lot of support. Or he met the Devil at the crossroads and sold his soul for an insane contract with Google that no mortal or fictional lawyer could otherwise ever negotiate.

And I think Patreon takes their cut of the money AFTER taxes so 1 thousand dollars in Patreon isn't actually very much but still too for some of these people.

The thing about DSP is that his popularity has really shrunk from when he started, but yeah, he's kind of dumb. Example, DSP knows nothing about water heaters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-uzSwKZeQ8

Linkara's current waistcoat look suits him much better than his old outfit. Yes, he's still got the fedora, and fedoras are largely awful, but at least he acknowledges that he's rather dorky/nerdy, which puts him ahead of the  "my fedora gives me class not swag" types.

Women tend to pull the hat off slightly better than men. Because it's a woman's hat.

Doug continues to not know how movies work/can't fall back as the criticisms being part of the character/reusing jokes from 6 years ago. http://channelawesome.com/nostalgia-critic-real-thoughts-on-mortal-kombat/ "If you watched an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon without the gore, would it be as good." Yeah, duh. It's not like it was meant to be an excessive parody of Tom and Jerry or something. It's not like you haven't professed your love for Tom and Jerry in the past. It's also not like Itchy and Scratchy ISN'T A REAL loving SHOW. Also, saying that gore is crucial to Mortal Kombat's appeal is inherently wrong, and there's an entire generation of kids who grew up with Super Nintendos that can attest to that.

The first "Mortal Kombat" stood out because of gore and nothing else. The controversy surrounding the gore and outraged parents made kids want to play it in a "gently caress you dad!" kind of way. It's really not considered a very good game either. It just had this gimmick that made it stand out from "Street Fighter II" which was the only other successful arcade fighting game of the time.

Mortal Kombat was not a great game and had bullshit AI. It was very much built on the back of gratuitous violence but thankfully with 9 & X they seem to have gotten much better mechanics wise.

It just had this gimmick that made it stand out from "Street Fighter II" which was the only other successful arcade fighting game of the time. The problem's that the movie was for those kids going "gently caress you, dad!" It's not for two grown men, and those kids wouldn't have been able to see a splatter film version of Mortal Kombat. It's also that what works in cartoons or old videogames doesn't necessarily work in live-action, but I don't expect Doug to understand that.

Hey the first video of Shakespeare Month is out. It's about West Side Story. http://blip.tv/brows-held-high/west-side-story-and-romeo-and-juliet-shakespeare-month-the-second-7192965

I studied West Side Story for my music A-level (though my first exposure to its music was an arrangement of "Mambo" for the jazz orchestra I was in at the time; one of those 240 bpm numbers, which made it an absolute monster to play at the time, even if I could probably manage it now) and I liked it. I will look forward to watching the video when I'm home from a) work and b) casting my vote.

I know Gundam isn't a big topic amongst internet crtics, but does anyone know if any critics have reviewed the OVA for Gundam the Origin? I watched the first episode and I was pretty impressed, overall, but few people seem to want to talk about it.

Just go into his videos expecting him to poo poo on people, especially if there's a large, positive public reaction to something. According to Spoony his is the correct and enlightened opinion. Once you realize that you will be at peace, like accepting that the doomsayers with the cardboard signs shouting about the end of the world have a few screws loose.

I've only seen West Side Story live (community production) - haven't seen the movie. What can I say - I haven't seen a lot of musicals for some reason. Excellent video though, Kyle.
