Yeah.... Remember when Doug Walker was worth giving two damns about? Remember when Reviewing a movie from the 80s or 90s was refreshing to all the 800 video game reviewers on Youtube? Remember when Blip was a huge Screw You to Youtube's broken flagging system and rigged partner program? Remember how god the first half of Nostalgia Critic episodes (maybe a little more than that) were? Doesn't that seem like forever ago, instead of just around 5 years ago? Now look at the reviewaverse now, Doug Walker is now desperate to do anything for a quick buck (more on that later), Everyone's reviewing bad, obscure, or old movies (I know, a little hypocritical, but I'm not like every other movie reviewer on the planet, not to mention I'm essentially a nobody), Blip has kind of a screwy flagging system that only a secret gang of flag happy morons know about, Everyone's now a YT partner, and The Reviewaverse 2009 is different from The Reviewaverse 2012. What does this all mean? Find out today.
So where to begin, Doug announced the return of Nostalgia Critic just a few days ago. I have one question, WHY!?!? Yeah, we all know Demo Reel flopped badly and with good reason, It wasn't exactly the best NC replacement, but couldn't you do a little more experimenting before you go to Plan Z? Nostalgia Critic hasn't been as good as it was since mid-2011, seriously he's so desperate for Blip moneys that he decided to go from experimenting to releasing something that should be used as a last resort. If I was him, I'd release different videos (like skits or whatever) every so often and see what sinks in with me and my fans. Hell I'm pretty sure Channel Awesome announced they were not doing any more NCritic's for a while. Hell, They done interviews, Wanting Nostalgia Chick to be the main reviewer of the site. To an extent I agree with this decision, Lindsay is the closest thing to an NCritic style show TGWTG had for the past six months, and She's a better reviewer than Doug is now, Seriously, What can possibly go wrong.
Yoshiette: Ummm..... I see a Nostalgia Chick Website.
Anonymous Yoshi: WHAT?!?!
Yeah.... Lindsay has her own TGWTG style website now, Because she is such a darling to Blip so she get's her own set of reviewers and forms THE AVENGERS!!!! I know I made that last part up but you get the point. The site's called Chez Apocalypse. I know weird title, but The reviewaverse has been kind of funny this past few months. Oh what's that? You don't want a negative look at the Reviewaverse? Well too ******* Bad, because that decision is being made for you...
Well we all know what RVT or Reviewtopia is, well It's a TGWTG style site that went through some controversy as of earlier this month, It's been up for a couple years and a huge amount of the site was Essentially Destroyed by recent events. I won't go into the exact details of the event, Suffice to say there were some epic fails (for lack of a better term) that caused most of the site's contributors to leave and now I've got a hunch that the site's not going to last much longer, unless they can somehow turn the whole table around. I only bring up the controversy to showcase potential coming events for TGWTG.
So yeah.... Nostalgia Critic is going to run every two weeks for the next year or two (maybe less), He's going to retire the character AGAIN, and go back to the drawing board again. But that raises the question, with TGWTG in a rut, RVT in a BIGGER RUT, AVGN making his movie, and Spoony of TGWTG, What's going to be the next big thing as far as reviews go, The Game Station? Nah...
For the record I don't Hate TGWTG, or Channel Awesome, or whatever, I just don't like some of the business decisions they made, also...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARZGURL!!!!
