Crosspost from old thread: Don't forget about RSS feeds (even though the rest of the world has).  By using My Yahoo! or another feed reader, you can see the updates from all your favorite shows. Unless they're on YouTube, which stopped doing RSS.http://chezapocalypse.com/feed/ http://atopthefourthwall.com/feed/ http://blip.tv/needsmoregay/rss http://phelous.com/feed/ http://blip.tv/brows-held-high/rss http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpoonyExperiment http://blip.tv/mikejtv/rss http://www.ashens.com/rss Doing this eliminates the need for a portal hub site or search site to act as a collection of links. Which is why RSS is bad for business and Google is trying to make it disappear. Mr.Radar posted:Linkara's Patreon has been hovering around its currently level for quite a while, I don't think the recent drama has affected it at all. I think the difference is down to Brad's show having a wider appeal (movies are much more accessible than comic books) and Brad having a higher overall output. Brad's site isn't just him; he has a whole crew of friends helping him. Linkara's just one guy. So it makes sense that more people can generate more interest.

Sweet, apparently all CA producers have individual RSS feeds, so you can enjoy their content without having to go there to check! Just click on his or her name, go to that producer's user page, and add "/feed" to the end of the URL.code:SciFi Debris Angry Joe

lornekates posted:The videos are a narration of the 5 part article "Opinion Why Feminist Frequency almost made me quit writing about video games". The articles (essays, really), are insightful and well written. They're a bit long (hence the readings), and get very in-depth-- but then again, if the stated goal is to have a well reasoned, thoughtful and researched discussion about a topic rather than just screaming Twitter-length talking points louder than your opponent, well-- you get essays. OK ... still sounds like bullshit to me though.

Another victim of slumping ad revenue. It seems that The Blockbuster Buster is in trouble  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBSEGQTK9yc BBB has never been a favorite of mine, but he's OK and I've watched his stuff irregularly. At first I didn't like his videos, but later on came to like them; his voice and appearance just can't be helped. But it sucks that he can barely even make it now. Regardless of Erod's relationship with CA, this makes their past & present callousness concerning ad breaks and Patreon look as unkind as ever, and the general unawareness of this really boils my noodles.

Any of you who want to use RSS feeds to get video updates on YouTube might have noticed that the feeds stopped working a couple weeks ago. YouTube has changed its URL for RSS feeds again, and since they're hidden (because RSS would mean you'd be watching someone else's ads for updates). To get the URL, go to the channel you want to follow and view the page soure. Look for the word "channel_id" and copy the gibberish after the "=". Ex: channel_id=UC0M0rxSz3IF0CsSour1iWmw. Then put it into this URL where the XXXXs are. code:

I'm saving a bunch of my favorite videos from Blip. I'm going to have to re-arrange my hard drives' folders to fit them all. 50 GB of this lovely crap. I always figured the good days would come to an end, but I never thought beyond that. And you can't even use a downloader on Screenwave player at all. Testekill posted:God drat the new Nostalgia Critic review was a slog. Osmos Jones is a flawed film (mostly because of the live action stuff and it's got some bad tonal shifts) but the heart of it is still a parody of buddy cop films. Plus the Inside Out skits were some of the worst that he's ever done. I've never seen Osmosis Jones but I enjoyed every clip he showed. What a bullshit episode.

I'm loving the AT4W Movie, and I'm proud to have sponsored it. It's better than its prequel, and I'm impressed by the drama in it. Also impressed with the demonstration that it's possible to have an Indiegogo, use raised funds responsibly, and bring the production to its conclusion within a very reasonable amount of time. I don't even remember if I'm on the DVD tier or not; I just backed it as soon as I saw it. I think that as an internet personality and as an actor Linkara has a lot of strength in charisma. Maybe I'm a puss but it makes the movie appropriately tense and credible, for everyone in it.quote:Does anyone really want another review of a lovely tie in book, Kool-Aid man comic, or some other insane thing that had no chance of being anything other than awful? I doooo  I wouldn't hear about anything like that without him, and I certainly wouldn't buy a Tandy Whiz kids comic on my own. (well, those ones I actually did read at school and almost forgot them)

OldMemes posted:I think the reason Rolfe stays relevant is because he stays out of drama, he knows how to be professional and present himself and his brand to the public. He cares about what he does, and the fans, and he knows what to keep private, and that makes him more likable, imo. I think it helps also that James has interesting creative friends (instead of lazy broke schulbs like the rest of us ). Turns out that "Boosty Spankins P.I." has been calling himself that even before AVGN existed and is very talented musically, able to sing beautifully and play music. And his Christmas album is free to listen on YouTube! Happy Holidays! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkbuz6X34q8

Mr.Radar posted:The "Shot on Shitteo" movie? Brad had a huge falling out with one of his friends that was co-starring in it and Brad didn't have the necessary "cover your rear end" legal documentation to use the footage with him in it (which was most of it) so he has declared it his own "The Day the Clown Cried," never to see public release. So that's the story on that movie? drat it. And Brad probably didn't think he'd need the necessary "cover your rear end" legal documentation because Jake was a longtime friend who'd been with him through a lot, before Jake hosed (ahem) it all up. gently caress YOU JAKE. gently caress YOU!  On top of everything else, we're not getting "Shot on Shitteo" now. gently caress you Jake gently caress you. You dumb piece of poo poo!

I made an account at the Sellersville website since it's the main auction house and all the bids are going to end up being processed there eventually.

I did know that there had been complications with James' baby's birth, but this is the first time he's ever talked about the details publicly as far as I know. So I googled "traumatic birth" and "forceps" out of curiosity, since I own a uterus, and I... I mean... Hell. It's good to know that his daughter is doing better now, but if his wife is still has injuries from the birth like he says, that's not good.

Although, I think the Indiegogo would be doing slightly better if it didn't have Santa Christ front and center on the page.

WampaLord posted:Holy gently caress you people are insane. TVs and digital displays and projectors have been converging ever since the need for a tuner and speakers began waning. I have my TV plugged into my PC as a second monitor, and I had a hard time explaining that to my sister over the phone one day. She didn't quite grasp that you could do that. Average joes won't put that level of effort into their TV; they just want it to turn on and work. But it's the easy content delivery that most people want from TV. They need a set top box or easy cable box interface to help them choose what to watch and set channels and schedules for them. In 1998 Steve Jobs said "You go to your TV when you want to turn your brain off. You go to your computer when you want to turn your brain on. Those are not the same." I say he's still right; His later interest in Apple TV doesn't contradict that, it proves it. People come home from work and they want to just relax. They don't want to gently caress around with searching, typing, or any kind of thinking about what to watch. They want it as easy possible. My PC-as-TC setup, doing everything from Windows, is pretty much a nightmare for anyone. Explaining it to my elderly parents when they visit means I have to actually write down the steps to turn on the PC, it speakers, the monitors, etc... normal folks can't handle this! Turning on a computer and its stuff? SO HARD! That's why I'm here reading this thread in the first place. I have no trouble with looking for what I want when I want it or using RSS feeds to make lists of updated stuff I want to see without relying on a lovely portal site like Channel Awesome or YouTube crappy promoted video recommendations. I like being in control and being active with what I watch. But I can see how that could tire some people.

I think the real issue here is that we don't have 10-20 years of distance to look back on the current Star Wars franchise and fandom. Keeping that in mind, I really enjoyed the new Plinkett review. Now we'll just if they'll make a new one to follow up in 2026 after some of the other Star Wars movies have come out. If YouTube hasn't imploded into a black hole by then.
