I'm still bummed we lost Breaking Madden (the videos anyway), but Pretty Good is a worthy altar upon which to sacrifice it, so I'm okay. I'd also recommend watching "The Dumbest Boy Alive" from that same series. It is a Masters dissertation level examination of the stupidest intent argument ever and it's fantastic.

I skimmed a few articles and it looks like the videos are still intact.
Edit: Oh I didn't quite catch that. Thought you meant lost in the context if they got killed by DMCA or whatever rather than just no new ones.

On an unrelated note, back to Jim Sterling. Guess I was kinda wrong in my guess about who gets money if your video is claimed. Looks like if monetizing is forbidden by a holder than nobody gets to make dosh off of it.

Urgh, I got a full body cringe from this review. Not with the review itself but the subject matter isn't even an entertaining kind of shlock. You can have good shlock but Eiken is loving gross and revolves around tits. There isn't even any clever jokes or innuendo

The worst thing Doug ever did was his review of The Cell.

That said

The weather beaten trail wound ahead into the dust racked climes of the baren land which dominates large portions of the Norgolian empire. Age worn hoof prints smothered by the sifting sands of time shone dully against the dust splattered crust of earth. The tireless sun cast its parching rays of incandescense from overhead, half way through its daily revolution. Small rodents scampered about, occupying themselves in the daily accomplishments of their dismal lives. Dust sprayed over three heaving mounts in blinding clouds, while they bore the burdonsome cargoes of their struggling overseers.

"Prepare to embrace your creators in the stygian haunts of hell, barbarian", gasped the first soldier.

"Only after you have kissed the fleeting stead of death, wretch!" returned Grignr.

A sweeping blade of flashing steel riveted from the massive barbarians hide enameled shield as his rippling right arm thrust forth, sending a steel shod blade to the hilt into the soldiers vital organs. The disemboweled mercenary crumpled from his saddle and sank to the clouded sward, sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid.

What about emotional intelligence on analyzing movies?

Oh yeah, Lazy Game Reviews sorta finished his Edutainment Month with this, unless he makes a fifth video next week somehow.

Notable ones are this one where he reviews a science picture book turned into a cdrom experience (Owned the sequel) and this internet meme.

Also, altho not a internet critic or review, Youtube has announced a less draconic content id claim system.

I'm a little saddened that Jon didn't touch on the pointlessly spiteful death of Michelle Fairley's character during Live Another Day. Restrained, neutralized, and having just watched her son get yanked out a window by Jack, Margot gets tossed out the window right after him because she sasses Jack.

I actually laughed when it happened because it was so comically violent and unexpected, even for Jack Bauer.




...I also went "The Lannisters send their regards", when she hit the ground, but that's another story.

Included in each of these videos will be a dozen rants about how lazy and bad they are and how lazy and bad the people who made it are for not making something that wasn't lazy and bad also have the two demo reel people do a skit about evil corporate greed that makes lazy and bad things for money.

The enthused barbarian swilveled about, his shock of fiery red hair tossing robustly in the humid air currents as he faced the attack of the defeated soldier's fellow in arms.

"drat you, barbarian" Shrieked the soldier as he observed his comrade in death.

A gleaming scimitar smote a heavy blow against the renegade's spiked helmet, bringing a heavy cloud over the Ecordian's misting brain. Shaking off the effects of the pounding blow to his head, Grignr brought down his scarlet streaked edge against the soldier's crudely forged hauberk, clanging harmlessly to the left side of his opponent. The soldier's stead whinnied as he directed the horse back from the driving blade of the barbarian. Grignr leashed his mount forward as the hoarsely piercing battle cry of his wilderness bred race resounded from his grinding lungs. A twirling blade bounced harmlessly from the mighty thief's buckler as his rolling right arm cleft upward, sending a foot of blinding steel ripping through the Simarian's exposed gullet. A gasping gurgle from the soldier's writhing mouth as he tumbled to the golden sand at his feet, and wormed agonizingly in his death bed.

Grignr's emerald green orbs glared lustfully at the wallowing soldier struggling before his chestnut swirled mount. His scowling voice reverberated over the dying form in a tone of mocking mirth. "You city bred dogs should learn not to antagonize your better." Reining his weary mount ahead, grignr resumed his journey to the Noregolian city of Gorzam, hoping to discover wine, women, and adventure to boil the wild blood coarsing through his savage veins.

In term of other bad Doug Walker shows Emo Jones was also bad, honestly everything outside of the critic turn out to be bad didn't it, his stuff that turn out decent wasn't that hard to make liked (bum, ask that guy) it just word salad.
