And he had a consistent schedule, so there was always something for his fans every week.
TGWTG The Spoony One / Spoony / Noah Antwiler and Rachel Baker / @RaeAngel07 - The touching romance between a washed-up videogame reviewer throwing a decade-long pity party and his delusional Canuck stalker. #weaknotsick #donttellmehowtosulk

And that he doesn’t broadcast his views 24/7.

Nor does he feel like something going bad ruined his life. Granted, his Nostalgia Critic persona acts that way, but Doug himself just makes fun of stupid things.
That's the difference between a critic and a fanboy. Doug is a critic, Noah was a fanboy, so Doug just makes fun of things, while Spoony was legitimately scarred by Ultima 9 being a piece of shit.

I think I'm beginning to see why Spoony went off the deep end and felt really betrayed by Ultima going bad. It seems that these games and movies are the only things keeping a light in his personal life. Unlike others who see these things as simple entertainment, it seems that nerd shit occupied a large portion of Spoony's life. I noticed this with how Spoony and his former co-worker Doug Walker deal with stupid things in media; Doug has the NC go nuts over bad movies, but his own opinions were more restrained, just noticing how stupid things are. When Spoony deals with stupid things, the anger comes from a more legitimate place, and he acts as if the Highlander series or Ultima going bad scarred him for life. We see this anger in the end of his Highlander: The Source review, and we see it even more with his Ultima 9 review and how it ended with him breaking character and showing how depressed he really was.
Was Spoony so bereft of good things in his life that these things going bad permanently left a scar on his soul? It seems so.

I see it the opposite way. He had no real conflict or concerns in his life, so any fake and minor thing was blown out of proportion. He's living it up to his greatest now, doing nothing living with miles again.

Spoony has been on a bit of a high lately, or at least what would be considered a high by his standards, and so he has been ranting and raving about about nerd shit.
Sometimes I wonder if everyone has dementia now or if this is all performative. His first mistake is assuming any modern media will have any merit at all and wasn't made to raise an ESG score, how many times do you need to be burnt before you realize the stove-top is hot. His second mistake is forgetting he spent four years yelling at the orange man and that everyone that works on media also spent all their time doing the same thing, and so just like his Twitter "content" became politicized, so does the media he is watching. But in a similar manner that he finds shampoo perplexing he will continue to wonder why new Trek isn't like old Trek till the day he drinks his last rum I'm sure.
And yes he is still going on about Ultima 9...

It's great when he gets these rushes, the sperg moments become rare, like a Leprechaun sighting!
He sure is great dwelling on things as you say, especially when triggered. I miss the days of The Plague documenting the best LiveWire moments!
Freshly archived, have a good sunday!

Thanks. Is she really stupid enough to think people actually care about what she thinks?

Good to see Noah is still doing nothing to treat his bipolar mania and Miles just lets him run wild doing everything that's ruined his life for years now.
Makes you wonder if Miles lived with a dementia-ridden grandpa he'd let the old coot make pillow forts in the living room to hide from Charlie in the trees. When the mailman gets sliced with a bayonet Miles just flashes his rusty dusty old badge and says hahah nothing to see here hahaha.
Wow dude, what a great brother. really looking out.

Makes you wonder how much of Spoony's issues are real and how much are bullshit to keep his few simps paying.

Even when Spoony was at his height, he played up his "health" issues.
He had a rare condition and made up many rules surrounding it, such as: he can't exercise, can't stay awake for very long, and he uses it as an excuse to get out of most chores.
Weirdly, he was never all that greedy for money. He would turn comments off and ban people just to maintain that hugbox. He's addicted to the fake praise, even though it costs him money. (Seems to be a common affliction among the Channel Awesome crew.)

I am not sure he ever realized that he shot himself in the foot by being an asshole to his fans.
He behaved like such a cunt that he managed to turn his sizeable fanbase into a hatedom.
Every spot on the internet that discusses him hates him. That is not because he stopped producing content while whining, if he behaved normally nobody would care.
He just can't control being a colossal asshole.

He does reek of being a know-it-all with a little knowledge under his belt—technical, legal, etc.

Most people who are terminally online do that. It's because stupid people think that if you're knowledgeable about one thing, you have to be equally knowledgeable about them all.

I just remembered something from his commentary on the Highlander: The Source video - apparently he was so angered by the (admittedly half-assed) cover version of Princes of the Universe used in the movie that he shut it off and didn't try watching it again for several days. The rest of the Channel Awesome crew? When they watched the video, they didn't even realize that the song was the thing he was getting pissed off at, and thought that he was ranting about the montage that it plays over.

He was THAT pissed off that a movie he didn't like used music from a band that he loved. To most people, it was cringy and hilarious, to him, it was an act of blasphemy. This is how religiously obsessed he is with the stuff he likes.

I think I remember this too. What's interesting is how it draws back the curtain on Spoony's famously sporadic output. Noah had always one excuse after another but then you listen to him talk about delaying production for several days because he sperged out at a shitty song cover and you grasp why it'd take him months to churn out one review whereas Doug Walker would post equivalent content every week like clockwork.
