It gone downhill since Dancing Yuna is no longer in the intro.

The only new thing worthy on the site is this:

Sad really ...

Edit: and the Highlander 2 review, I guess he started to suck with Ugly Fat American Reporter replaced Dancing Yuna in the intro.

I haven't bothered with that site since he stopped putting effort into his videos. They used to be pretty well done and entertaining, but then he just started getting lazy and vlogging about random dumb shit in front of a cam for 40 minutes, and then he got involved with Guy With the Glasses stuff where he does all kinds of gay LARPing shit with those fuckwits.

Meh.

Did anyone else notice that background hiss on the audio?

Gems are pretty gay though aren't they.

That was ok. To be fair Ultima 1 was a tad batshit crazy for it's time, and he pointed that out.

Not his best work, but ok.

Spoony's Lp's are quite entertaining imo. He's very articulate in his movie and game reviews too, unlike lots of internet personalities out there today. Of course you have to stay away from the videos where he's with Angry Joe, Nostalgia Critic, and the rest of that cabal.

Edit: Check out his Swat 4 and Phantasmagoria 2 LP's. They're p. good.

If he thinks Ultima 1 is crazy, just wait til he hits Ultima 2.

Or the Worlds of Ultima games, for that matter. Not quite as crazy, perhaps, definitely more modern crazy.

True, It wasn't untill III? That Gariott finally took the setting more seriously.

Granted at the time, it wasn't too wacky.. compared to most games out around that time. Now a days it is a tad hilarious, because RPG settings are SERIOUS BUISNESS.

Hah, I thought he did a pretty good job. It was entertaining. The weak-armed blacksmithing scene cracked me up. Spoony hammers the way Puma Man flies.

If I have any complaints, it's that the Balrog scene went on for five minutes, when it could have just been setup-punchline-get-on-with-it.

Yeah that's why most Ultima fans just kind of ignore I/II/III and pretend they never happened. Well at least I do anyways.

Yup. You have to become a space ace before a princess will tell you where the time machine is.

It's based on Arthurian legend.

His SWAT 4 LP was just awesome, probably my favorite from him. the FFX review is going alright, but a bit much of it just seems too overblown. The game may have been pretty bad, but I'd still rather it than VII or some others.
