Well, at least he isn't making nearly 5k a month but still, nearly 4 grand for what little he's been doing? I almost take back the things I said about the Dresden Codak guy, who also tweets more then actually updates (2 weeks for a single comic page... where he just wholesale rips off scenes from other media)

I remember he did a stream of him playing final fantasy 14 ARR as a review, he picked up his first quest to kill ladybugs and he rage quit, calling the game poo poo, he never even attacked anything in the game yet.

You don't even have to watch the video, just read the essay he put int he video description. It goes well beyond "I dislike/really dislike this game", its so full of vitriol and anger.

omg okay so I have to share this story now:

Phelan and I pretty much think the Casper "timing!" joke is the worst, so when Phelan did his crossover with Doug on Child's play, he had him flush him down the toilet. That was it. But Doug was so set on not getting rid of him, he added a bit where he came back. He couldn't commit to leaving him flushed in a crossover review joke.

:cripes:

Doug doesn't actually know how comedians are successful, does he? Then again the guy does make his living off that, lemme rephrase: He doesn't know why career comedians are funny. They can make anything funny, without having to fall back on old jokes.

E: Actually Casper reminds me of something else that annoyed me with Doug: His need to bring up references/jokes that just recently happened. IE; for like 3 or so episodes after Casper he would bring up all those Casper jokes. Recently in the Fantastic 4 video he references Hong Kong 97, a game that the AVGN also recently made a video for. No real build up or anything, just a blatant "Hey remember that other internet reviewer?"

I'm honestly worried about Todd, music companies are loving vicious about their music being in any videos that isn't on their vevo channel. I know the guy isn't just uploading the entire song but people have been hit for a 10 second clip of music.

So what exactly is the process for this? Do they get to talk to someone from YouTube? Does he have to send a picture of his car?

He'll need to take a picture of himself inside his car with a sign saying "I am Brad Johns and this is my car" in one hand and the other hand holding the pink slip to the car to prove he owns the interior of the car (alternatively, the info of the bank he got the loan from so youtube can contact the bank and verify)

Now as to how he'll prove he owns his guest commentator, I think that may violate the 13th amendment.

Is the thought process here being "The gamer nerd, being extremely sexually repressed, will be distracted by a woman in a sexy outfit"? Someone show that guy the image of a Starcraft 2 tournament where one team hired a bunch of escorts to try and distract the other team and it didn't work.

I watched about 10 minutes of his Fury Road review and he hasn't actually gotten to the point, its all skits while occasionally saying "This is why I liked Thunderdome". Basically for at least 10 minutes Doug could not get Beyond Thunderdome.

E: Mind, the video itself is about 27 minutes long, so a full third of it is just skits at the very least.

The NC Fury Road review sounds a lot like the Matrix review, which is where I finally gave up on the show.
