    They are waiting for the ship to become abandoned, than take it for themselves and then sail it off to riches. The grins say everything.

    So, from what I gather from that video, and all the other grieves these people have been quitting for, Channel Awesome is the story of guys who created a popular channel, invited lots of talented funny people to join them, and then exploited, neglected, and ultimately trampled on when ever was possible. They road on the success of others, and got rich off of it, and then decided not to share it with any of them.

    So, to summon things up, Jurassic Park is Channel Awesome:



    They stood on the backs of people far more talented and funnier than they are. And stomped on them every step of the way.

    I don't know about more talented. No offense, but I don't think that the majority of CA producers over the years were that talented. I think that it would be more accurate to say that they exploited the promise of exposure, and a family - like atmosphere to get free labor to pad out their website.

    Caught up with what went down since the document came out.

    I. Uh. Yeah. This genuinely made me feel sick, not going to lie.

    The way Larry should leave is to call up Doug and suggest a cross over: "Fact Hunt: 5 cock ups by Micaud." Release the result as a video.

    Not following things very closely... but does all this stuff mean that I won’t be seeing any more of that Nostalgia Twit popping up or anything from Channel Awful any more?

    Good.

    I tried watching him a few times.

    I don't get why people like him? He seems to have two settings. Asshole. Loud-mouth. (I come from a family of hot-tempered loudmouths myself, but we've got nothing on him.)

    He's not funny, he's just rude.

    lol he really should. at this point i'm waiting for critic to leave the site and larry being the only one there. like they all give him access to the site to run it from here on out. then everyone comes back and guru larry is in charge of it all.

    yup....the site on has two people left on it and one is there just to watch it burn....this is pretty much the end of that place. everyone else jumped ship

    yea...that's about right. i watched critic for a little while but haven't watched him for a number of years now. his shtick is the same...screech at movie and make catchphrases. it got old real fast. most people on the site were funnier and more creative than he was...and still are.

    It's worse that that. Not just a loud mouth but a high pitched loud mouth. When he goes into one of those screaming sessions his voice is unlistenable.

    The Nostalgia Critic had his moments. Doug Walker did use the whole comedic outrage angle as a crutch, but when he actually put effort into it he had a decent grasp on comedic timing. Of course humor is also subjective.

    It's also the usual norm to see detractors pop up in droves after the fact in such situations like this to suddenly be all like "He always sucked anyway."

    CR was another creepy "reviewer" I hated, mainly because I have a strong distaste for the waifu community. The man was /aco/ personified (until RebelTaxi came along). Right now, I think the dude now has a sock puppet deviantART account which he regularly posts fat fetish art to...Yeah.

    I don't know if Sage is still associated with Z0NE, but after learning that factoid it was enough to make me stop watching him. (Violence Jack is that "awful" and "sick", yet hentai that abuses characters created by well-respected animators in the industry isn't?)

    Of course, both of them obviously pale in comparison to the genuinely awful people who have done wrong to real victims of assault. As someone who watched Channel Awesome from 2008 all the way to...2012 I think? It's horrific how all this came to be. But it finally seems like justice is being done in some way right now. (Although it's too little too late...)

    Never heard that phrase before.
