    Default Which Internet Critics do you follow?

    I was originally going to make this a poll, but decided there are too many to list, so just left it as is. So, who all do you follow, if anyone?

    The two main critics I keep track of these days are The Angry Video Game Nerd and The Nostalgia Critic. Both of which are responsible for my getting into reviewing. They've even done some crossovers in the past. In fact, they're still doing them from time to time.

    I used to watch some of Lindsay (Nostalgia Chick), Spoony, Linkara, and Brad Jones (Cinema Snob), but I lost interest in them in recent years. The above two are the only ones I keep up with. Oh, and Board James. Which is another character of James Rofle. Hilarious.

    Oh, I hear that Ayen guy is doing some cool things on YouTube. You guys should check him out!
    Shameless.

    Your turn to share.

    The Nostalgia Chick is my alltime favorite reviewer and someone I follow religiously, but sadly she hasn't been uploading lately at all since the blipocalypse happened. Hope she comes back soon But yeah, I always liked her much more than the Critic and I love how she developed her own style later on. Idk, just taking a more analytical/academic approach rather than simply summarizing the movie and adding comedic scenes works a lot better for me and has helped shape my own sense of humor and critical thinking.

    I also love Sursum Ursa's Stuff You Like. It's refreshing to see someone focusing on the positives and still being super intelligent and academic about it. Plus, she's Catholic and awesome, which makes her show resonate with me more XD

    And then there's Rantasmo and Needs More Gay. I have learned so much about LGBT culture from him and I love everything he does to bits. Short and to the point, Rantasmo may not be as academic as Lindsay, but he's still really funny and insightful.

    In general, I love everything on Chez Apocalypse. Nella has her Let's Read on there too, there's Vampire Reviews with Elisa, 50 Shades of Green is just incredible, and then there's also Brows Held High... Long live Chez Apocalypse! (or at least let's hope they come back soon... )

    Chungus.

    Also Ashens is pretty great for all the stuff he does. I also follow ProJared. Todd in the Shadows is the only one from Channel Awesome that I care about.

    I used to watch AVGN but his whole schtick got really old when swearing and endless poop jokes was all he had. I can get better poop jokes elsewhere.
    The Nostalgia Critic too, he was alright before he went off and did something new, but when he came back he was just... eh. I also got really tired of his drawn out nitpicking.

    I watch Totalbiscuit every once in a while. Because he has such an awesome British voice. I lost most interest in online critics years ago.

    I know I've seen a couple of new videos by her on the League of Super Critics YouTube channel. Last I heard she left Channel Awesome officially at the start of the year and is going off to do her own thing. So no more Nostalgia Chick. Which I don't mind too much since she's slowly been leaving that persona for years now.

    THANK YOU! I was trying to remember that guy's name, but for the life of me couldn't. I watch him occasionally, too. Really enjoyed his smug video about the new Fair Use policy YouTube is trying to pass.

    I used to watch Spoony faithfully, but honestly his whole "I'm unimpressed/angry with everything and hate the world" schtick got really old. I don't think he's really doing much of anything these days anyways.

    Yeah, he's never been the same after his meltdown on Twitter a few years back with a couple of other Channel Awesome producers. He mostly just streams, does hour long rants about movies, and talks about wrestling now.

    Oh, I'm not arguing in favor of her old style or anything. She was basically brought in to be a female Nostalgia Critic, and I'm glad to see she broke out of that character. Much like wrestling, internet personalities are better when they get to be themselves.
