This is one of those songs that I might vaguely remember hearing on a Tony Hawk game, but otherwise have no recollection of.

God this one was harsh, like really harsh, but THIS was the reality check Noah desperately needed.

I know I've already mentioned I used to be a fan of Spoony, since sometime around 2008, but seeing him turning into a lost cause, STILL bitching on Twitter and STILL not updating or keeping promises to his patrons has deeply broken my heart.

And to think I used to partially defend this guy after his tweet to JesuOtaku and feud with Lupa, when I never realised he's done worse poo poo than that...I mean my god.

Never have I grown such deep hatred towards this arsehole, but somehow he's so retarded that he can't take a hint that his fans don't want him doing boring livestreams and leeching off of their money and doing nothing productive in the process. Hell I even looked back at his last review when he teased future reviews of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and some Highlander film...and that was three years ago.

I've supported him even after his backlashes and that's already died out. Now after watching Internet Aristocrat/Mister Metokur's video, and Spoony's response to that wasn't "I should understand my fanbase used to care for me back then and I should address my current situation" but instead "why are people hating on me", he's confirmed to me that he's definitely a lost cause.

-

I know Noah will never see this post, hell he doesn't even have an SA account, but if he does...I want him to understand something.

Noah, you are a oval office, you are a loving scummy oval office.

When you were in your prime, myself and thousands of fans used to love watching your Final Fantasy reviews, Highlander rants, and the Ultima retrospective. You had fans who seriously gave a poo poo about your work inside and outside of Channel Awesome. We donated to your Patreon because we were your supporters and believed in you, no matter what poo poo you were in (even with Scarlett) we'd still be there for you.

So what did you do to your fans who followed you for 7 years? You treated them like poo poo, took their money and ran and barely updated your content! Not only that, you talked poo poo on livestreams, burned bridges with your CA peers, and ruined your credibility as a reviewer by loving tweeting non-stop, even as YOUR loving DOG FOR gently caress'S SAKE!

Is it any wonder why April is still putting up with your poo poo and you don't bring up Miles anymore?

And now look at you...all you do now is tweet about WWE, complain at people on social media, disable comments in your videos because you don't want to know what people really think of your work, do livestreams of games where you feel like you'd rather play them WITHOUT streaming them in the first place, have some weird plot in your last reviews that later went nowhere (gee I wonder why), have no use for your VHS board games that may as well clutter up your house, rely on Patreon for more money instead of getting a real job, and most importantly...you're COMPLETELY LEFT ON YOUR OWN because all your friends, fans, and collaborators have ABANDONED YOU!

I loving despise of you now, you're nothing but a loving scumbag. A part of me really doesn't want to believe that, but you've MADE ME believe it...I've yet to see an apology from you since you clearly hate your fans.

I was hoping, really hoping you'd come to your senses, do the right thing and tried to earn respect from your fans...but you BETRAYED them. I should've known better...and Lupa possibly did too.

Noah, you truly are a loving scummy oval office.

It's funny to me because it felt like when Elementary came out there were people being all "ugh a lame AMERICAN version of an English work :rolleyes:" and then BBC's Sherlock ended up being the one that poo poo the bed the hardest.

Elementary turned out to be a really good procedural crime drama :shobon:

Among its positive points: It has a male and female lead who never have a will-they-won't-they which is ridiculously rare for TV. It also takes the source material to heart and has a lot of really odd mysteries.

Its cause its really boring, whereas Sherlock is a show that started out fun and exciting and turned into a car crash. I mean the last episode of Sherlock is one of the worst episodes of anything I've ever seen, but thats still more interesting than "generic American crime procedural with Sherlock Holmes".

Woof, I only lasted two episodes into Sherlock, so if that's what counts as the good stuff, I shudder to imagine what the bad episodes are like.

This could just be nostalgia speaking but early Spongebob is honestly pretty good. Worth having around if you need to watch something with a younger relative/child at least.

It's not just nostalgia, the first few seasons of spongebob have some downright amazing comedy writing.

Define 'car crash'. I dropped out relatively early, and now I'm morbidly curious.

I assume they meant after cause that's the same metric I use. Up to and including the movie Spongebob is great, it's after that that it turns into a weird Ren and Stimpy sort of gross-out show.

FWIW, I actually thought the second movie from a couple years back was actually surprisingly solid for what it was (I imagine in no small part due to it being the only thing that Stephen Hillenburg's been directly involved in with the franchise since the first movie). Beyond that though, as Vosgian Beast mentioned, it's basically the Simpsons of children's animation and everything that entails, from the wonderfully written and well regarded golden years to the sharp and immediate downturn it would take for the rest of it's run.

Moffat's better for certain things. He's much better at building up to a season climax, especially compared to Davies, who would just occasionally provide lip service to something that won't make sense until the 2 part finally. The cracks are an important part of season 5 that affect the Doctor's journeys and, while there's still questions, the cracks themselves are wrapped up within the season (until Moffat retcons them 2 seasons later in one of the worst episodes that weren't outright offensive).
