The Spoony One

[maybee]

trout. I meant Noah... not Noel.


Final Fantasy XIII-2 on the mind...

[NeoCracker]

He wasn't fired, he stepped down, no? He said something rude (which is very Spoony, as he can be a douche and is egotistical) and TGWTG was starting their new direction and he didn't want to be a part of it. He explains it in his commentary of the 4th year movie.

Aaaand back on topic. I enjoyed the video, sadly I don't remember anything quotable for this post.

It went like

Doug. I'll fire you if you don't shape up.

Noel. Well smurf you, I quit then.

So yeah, he stepped down, sorry about that. It was a rape joke to JesusOtaku I think...that started the whole TGWTG drama....

But yeah he needs to buy some shampoo...

The Rape Joke had nothing to do with it. The problems TGWTG had with him was he tends to day whatever the hell he wanted in his own time, and it got to the point TGWTG's thought it was bad PR.

Spoony, however, didn't see a need to reign himself in,in part due to he felt what he did on his own time was not their business, but a big part is he had virtually no traffic coming in from TGWTG's anyway, so had no real reason to stay on from a business percpective.

In addition, as much as he loved doing the anniversaries, he doesn't get paid for those. TGWTG's only covered the trip their and expenses, but this is a lot of time away from doing his work with The Spoony Experiment.

And as said earlier, virtually everone he knew, a couple exceptions, he is still on good terms with.

I just want to point out, I don't agree with rape jokes at all. But if you're going to veto Spoony for making a rape joke, you better veto EoFF, because rape jokes pop up here way too much.

Just sayin'.

Totally with you Sam!

I really like Noah's reviews. I like VIII and X and XIII and XIII-2 and I still enjoy his videos very much. I don't agree with his viewpoints, but that doesn't really matter. They're fun to watch. It's better not to get worked up about what you find are false criticisms.

I really like FFVIII, I like FFX even more, but I really enjoy his reviews.

I went to his Q&A at MAGFest 9 in 2011 and he was very funny, very friendly and very cool.

I cant say this one was as hilarious as the FFX one but I'm enjoying it and look forward to the rest.

I only found spoony a few months earlier, and im quite a fan of his older stuff and counter monkey. His ff10 review had me rolling, especially the potion farming bit

Ill have to watch this when i get home

He definitely needs some shampoo though

[Crop]

Eh, probably my least favourite FF review of his, but I'm sure it'll get better. When he's on form I find him hilarious.
My favourite thing of his that he's done would probably be the SWAT 4 Let's Play, and it was around that time that I think he was at his best.

I've kinda gone off him lately, mostly due to his Counter Monkey which I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever and his constant reviews of movies (which he ends up dragging on about 30 minutes too long), but he does still throw up a gem now and again.

[Laddy]

I think his The Ring review was one of his best in a while. Of course, Phantasmagoria 2 was just brilliant and made me pick the game up just because of his Let's Play.

[NeoCracker]

And Part 2 up before the new year!

[TrollHunter]

So, that answers that.

Part 2 was amusing, but if he keeps going at this rate it's going to take him like 15 parts to get through this game.
I think he's done making his point on the games writing though, so it will hopefully speed up.

[NeoCracker]

I'm expected 3-5 parts on this one. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 12 or so parts of FF VIII, but less parts is probably a better way to go about it.

[Faris]

Guys, after that review, I think he really really likes FFXIII. Mainly because the aneurysm he's clearly having will change his brain function.

Magical trench coat... Jeeeze.

[Tonberry Time]

Glad to see I'm not the only fan of SpoonyOne on this board, even though I'm a huge fan of FF I still find his videos a great source of entertainment.

I'm expected 3-5 parts on this one. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 12 or so parts of FF VIII, but less parts is probably a better way to go about it.

At this rate, he's going to end up making 50 videos, without ever getting to FFXIII-2. Like a third of the second part was all about Snow's trench coat. And he's so correct about those datalogs, that has to be one of the worst ways to convey exposition to the player in gaming history. The only time I ever used it was to look up Fal'Cie and l'Cie, because after escaping that death-dome-thingy I just had to cure myself of A PART of the chronic confusion that is FFXIII's storyline.

Can't wait to say what he has to say about the combat system though, for me that was the most reedeming feature of FFXIII.

He's so ranty in this review and I love it. I'm expecting 6-10 parts.
Also, the only 2 redeeming parts of the game for me were the beautiful.... horizons, and the music.
I can usually look past a crappy story if a game has good combat, but 13s combat revolved less around strategy and more around mash buttons.
