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

[Smiling Honeybadger]

Ehhh... he's neither saying nor implying that he's en par with or comparing himself to Jackie Chan, only that he learned everything he knows about Stage Fighting from Jackie Chan. Which doesn't really mean anything.

Reminds me of my class mates in elementary school when they reenacted what they saw in a Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movie. Mind you they were a bunch of eight to ten year olds.

Spoony's Uwe Boll moment where he brags about a seemingly amazing feat when in reality it's something average or mediocre at best. Hey, pass those rose-coloured glasses, will ya?

Barely anything interesting about him these days, just some wrasslin rambles. Looks like he's getting ready for hibernation. Oh sorry I mean "creative break to battle the demons"

High school Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa put out more convincing fight scenes with a little MyBuddy doll than anything you full grown adults ever fucking did. I remember those flatly shot, poorly choreographed scenes where you used stock sound effects.

Spoony reminiscing on those shitty skits is so embarrassing... for himself.

Yup, typical TGWTG skit procedure, and it gets him off, too. Narcissism must be a great thing - for the narcissist. Makes me wish Jackie Chan would acrobatically roll Spoony's organs into a napkin ring for claiming to "have learned" from him.

Also, @A Big Bumbling Black Man I always suspected him to be the fridge raider. Not even Lordkat or Sean were this impudent, and they were established gluttons. It's not illegal if you don't get caught eh Spoonz?

You missed the previous tweet where he compares his stage fighting skills to fucking Jackie Chan:

I can't tell what's more delusional: That he considers a couple of skits per year for relatively short period in his life "a lot" or that he thinks what he did was professional quality.

It's amazing, almost everything in this tweet is something Jackie Chan very much tries to avoid to make it look as notfake as possible. Plus comparing WRESTLING to Stage Fighting is one of the biggest bullshit comparisons I've ever read. I've taken a back bump and chops, and I've helped out with stage fighting, they are a similar as oil and water.

As someone who works with film and cameras (mostly help for a friend of mine) nothing pisses me off more when someone uses the same exact shot for EVERYTHING. I think thats why the newer NC videos were so damn unbearable.

While I was witnessing Joel of Vinesauce's playthrough of Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh, I decided to go back to watch Spoony's playthrough of the game.

Boy, that was fucking cringe beyond belief. Maybe I've grown up or developed some sense of human decency or both, but the only parts I ever thought was funny were the pop culture jokes, and even then, Spoony uses that entirely as his crutch because has no sense of humor outside of outdated 2000s smartass snark. Everything else was fucking incessant whining about how "durr dis game is shit because the programmers are shitty and the content is bad". Vinesauce was funnier by like fucking kilometers into the fucking sky because of how Joel was able to just interject his own ingenuity and silly fun into the mix without making the game sound as if it was fucking unbearable. No one finds whiny nerd yelling and whining funny, and I hope Spoony's little descent into madness is just his subconscious having a psychic breakdown with a great deal of self awareness.

If anything, Spoony and That Guy With The Glasses has become the poster orphanage bastard children for everything that was wrong about the mid 2000s boom of "angry internet reviewers": shitty hack ass actors with shitty ass tastes born from being spoiled to shit from years of being breastfed from trust fund mommies and daddies with shitty real life personalities who can't do anything right about internet reviewing and entertainment worth shit.

Of course, in this world, everyone's a critic. To state out of this, "I'd rather slurp shit oozing out of a hyena's dysentry infested asshole than watch anything of Spoony's ever again." But at least, I know I don't rip people off to make them see me act like a fucking sperg at the cost of my time, dignity, and integrity as a person for what is little than other than a glorified display of my own two cents.

>Vinesauce
Anyone know is worth watching among them and who to avoid?

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Jackie Chan has broken all of his bones at least once. Spoony couldn't do one thousandth of the shit that Jackie Chan did.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

So by learning everything he knows from Jackie Chan, does he mean that he saw all of what Chan did and then did the opposite?

 

[RJ MacReady]

It's started to stick out to me how much Spoony talks up his minimal life experience. He seems to instinctively embellish any story he has to tell and regularly asserts authority on subject matter he has less knowledge of than he lets on. He's certainly not a trained actor, for example.

Joel and Vinny. The rest I barely remember.

Kinda reminds me of when Chris tried to paint pulling weeds and mowing the lawn as major tribulations of his life, and it only highlights just how little life experience he has.

Its mainly because Spoony has learned the fine art of "experience through omission", a neat trick that turns "I worked on kickassia with shitty scripting and fight choreography" into "I have many years of stage fighting experience and film production knowledge" technically he isnt lying, but he also doesnt actually have any knowledge of those two things.

It strikes me that I lurk Noah's Twitter daily and I can honestly say I've never seen him express any meaningful adult wisdom. Mentally and emotionally he's always seemed twenty years behind his age and never showed any deliberate effort to improve his craft or pursue his ambitions throughout his entire web career.

Because unlike a Rolfe or a RedLetterMedia, Spoony had the safetynet known as Channel Awesome and their fanbase, he didnt need to improve. He just needed to be "consistent". The fanbase never asked for more so he never felt the need to hone his craft beyond maybe a new camera and mic. RLM built sets for their shows and even then they are constantly improving their production and sound. Rolfe has been improving and experimenting with his stuff since his Roger Rabbit review. But Noah knowing that his fans will love anything he gives them never felt that drive. Its why so many say that as forward thinking CA was, it was also very stunting to the growth of the creators who were apart of it, to the point where 99% of them never grew past what they or their fans deemed worthy content, and in the case of Doug when he tried to go past that his fans hated it. Its a scary cycle.

That's what happens if you aren't proactive and run out of stories to tell. You take what you have, no matter how mundane, and spruce it up to be a life changing experience. @Duncan Hills Coffee nailed it by comparing that to Chris Chan. The only adult wisdom Noah can share is that you kids out there better not waste your life being a pathetic windbag and always take your work seriously, and he knows it. Resorting to this kind of bauble could mean that even his comic book and wrestling rambles aren't getting enough responses anymore and his hypochondriac press threatens to lose its edge. Time is a cruel opponent indeed.

James and Noah started off passionate, and while Mr. Rolfe managed to keep that passion burning by fanning it with content he wanted to do, Spoony laid back and relied more and more on his rep, paired with the limited ambition TGWTG taught him to acquire. Keeping drama out of your PR is also something Spoony fucked up. Can't say that much for RLM but from what I know they do pretty well and yes, they put effort into each and every one of their reviews and props. To be fair, Neither James nor the RLM guys had depression, but I think we already covered that it's not a good enough excuse for being a jackass from the get-go.

Nope, Rich Evans dealt with depression or at the very least went through a hell of a dark time when he was young given he was raised in a pretty fucked up homelife that he wanted to essentially burn away. The difference is he listened to the people who wanted to drag him back from that (Mike for all his shitting on him on camera is a true bro off camera; made sure Rich didn't destroy his childhood mementos among other things).

So no, Spoony doesn't get a goddamn pass even when compared to other review sites. He just wants pity and fuck that, he only deserves the privilege of private suicide since you know if he decided to end it, he'd take others with him by doing something cowardly like leap in front of a car.

Thanks for filling the gaps, man. I'm not as familiar with the RLM staff outside of Half in the bag, but if Rich Evans came from a hell hole as you say, then Spoony's situation is even more devaluated by having a successful counterpart. My original intention was to bring up depression overall to consider all angles of Spoony's decline. Also that last part about "taking others with him" is a good reminder that he's more of a scumbag if he intends to hurt and annoy people even beyond death.

Whenever this tired old argument or excuse of muh depresshun and sad brains raises its ugly head to excuse shitty or pathetic behaviour like Spoony's, I would like to forward him to the Wikipedia list of "Artists, actors and other creatives with depression".

The lists are chokefull with people who dealt with horrible depressions, often enough lost their fight, yet created 10 times more in their lifetimes than Spoony will ever do. Hergé the artist behind the Tintin comic series did draw "Tintin in Tibet" during an intense bout of depression. He described drawing the snowy landscapes as having a therapeutic effect on him.

The thing with Spoony is, he doesn't even try to change a thing. And I find this about as pathetic and disgusting like his overall doughy and pasty ass appearance. Depression is still to him a good excuse to get away from the struggles and responsibilities in life.

That we know of.

And as said previously, depression is and never will be an excuse to be a god awful person. I have depression and you dont see me damning the world for all my woes. Its a stupid crutch.

Total sidebar here, but Mike saving Rich's photo album after Rich said he wanted to throw it away has got to be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen...even if he did use it to do the Dick the Birthday Boy bit, lol.

After no tweets in 45 hours:

24 - 48 hour silence -> "I'm depressed!" -> more shitposting for 2 weeks is becoming a pattern recently.
