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

I was just about to make a joke that now is the time for Spoony to return.

I just finished that video and I was waiting for the Spoony callback.
Was not disappointed.

What is it about Channel Awesome that so many people trooned out? Hope Chapman, Gabe Herzig [not a content creator himself. More Ben the Sage's sidekick] and LordKat. Who's next?

That's easy. Lordkat was a big ball of self pity and nasty antisocial reclusiveness, infact a lot of them who were totally insufferable were. Trooning out is again, the bipolar know it all gamer/nerd way of a "clean slate", for reasons of believing "women are all goddesses" and that they always have it easy (this is why in the past, people told the worst of them off to get a life), or in Hope's case, to garner sympathies from suckers like the sociopath she is. Can't say I'm surprised he went and literally became a pussycat.

Bless this dude for the nod. Warms my heart.

Two people have used Spoony voice clips now this month. Dankula I believe used Betrayed me in his last video. Though could have been another big youtuber. They blend together when you have a long shift.

It's weird to think there will be so many people who don't even realise they're references because Spoony is such a non-entity now. Noah's bloodline is so cursed he couldn't even become a meme.

This is an odd tweet, I don't get the joke really.


Warthog still MIA since Oct 31 btw.

Dedicated his life to playing an arcade game in the hopes that aliens would rescue him from his mediocre, ho-hum life and he could amount to something greater than being a backwater hick by using his video game knowledge to excel in real life? aka: the dreams and life goals of goobers with no real dreams or life goals?

Sounds about right.

If you haven't watched The Last Starfighter, I recommend it. It's a quaint little movie that came out at the dawn of CGI usage in films - the graphics are highly outdated, but the premise is fun.

I dunno but imagine being both a channel awesome fanboy (????) and being in a coma since 2010 (For being a channel awesome fanboy I presume), only to awaken to spoony retarding himself to death, channel awesome dissolving, and everybody went from an ugly male to a super ugly crossdresser

"What? No! Oh wait, that actually makes sense."

Wait 'till you see Noah Antwiler nominated as commander of all armed forces by Trump.

I guess, but like someone replied to his tweet, Highlander would've been a better choice. I don't remember him even mentioning Last Star Fighter, so the joke was out of nowhere to me at least.

And another stream today:

Jackson's on this one again and a few others. He actually sounds a bit more energetic from the little I listened to, maybe the TDS he's going through is giving him power again. And wtf 'game' is this, looks like a flash game or something from the early 2000's

I don't think attending a convention and shouting "This game sucks!" is the same as storming into a restaurant dressed as a teenage vampire, screeching at your ex for custody of your child and getting the cops called on you

Especially given the context. Spoony was talking about an FPS with "X-Com" in the title, as naked an IP cash grab as ever foisted on gamers. This was before X-Com 2 came out.

 

[demicolon]

That event did change the developers' minds and we got X-COM instead of a sequel to Enforcer so... vindication? When will @LordKat apologize, a?

I so, so very deeply wish that were true.

In the movie, a nobody guy with no prospects is plucked out of obscurity for being good at an arcade game, he goes on to save the universe.

Spoony is basically saying he's been waiting his whole life for someone to show up and say "you're special, in fact, you're the main character"

IIRC it is true. Merry Christmas, TheTourist!

Yeah, I see that now. I guess he still thinks that's some possibility deep down. He'd already totally fallen off when he said he kept his hair long in case Del Toro sees him in public and shouts how he's his next star. Weird dude for sure on that. I guess it's not that different than those that play the lottery thinking that's the only way to be anything in life and then end up like him too.

Some people point to that as Spoony being the one to lead the charge to get X-com back to a strategy game instead of a FPS but there were other people not happy with it and there were stories that came out that I can't remember exactly, but from the sounds of things they were considering moving away from the FPS game for a while. Spoony on the other hand just likes to pretend he's more important than he really was... and then cried in his bedroom when reality set in.

Okay so I refreshed my memory, rewatched the E3 video with the betrayal rant, what happened is there were 2 xcom games developed at the same time: X-COM Enemy Unknown and The Bureau. Spoony was mad at the second, but around 2011/2012 Firaxis cut off ties with the Australian team working on Bureau and doubled down on making a more faithful remake so... the stink Noah made at E3 might have rustled some higher up, but you can't be sure.

I know I heard like a decade ago someone from Firaxis said somewhere that negative reception of Bureau at E3 made them rethink their development direction. Coulda be my aging brain hallucinating things, dunno.
