I was into the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses community about 15 years ago, I watched NostalgiaCritic every week, and tye Spoony Experiment often as well as some other channels.
When Doug killed his NC character and tried to start a new series with a character based of a failed movie director, I stopped watching, then I saw a video about the drama at tgwtg and lost all interest in the team.
I have watched one or two video from them since when NC was revived, but it is completely uninteresting now.
Around that time i was in a hospital and was bored to shit. I watched every one of spoony and Doug's videos. I loved it, it was the only thing that kept me entertained, because i was awake most nights. I knew it was flawed in many ways, and doug kinda refused to make the jump to youtube or something and i just stopped watching and kinda assumed his project died. Only last year i found out that he made several movies and a gameshow and all quit like 4 times. So i watched his movie, that looked really bad and thought: what does a movie look like from a guy who made it his career to nitpick about movies. It's really bad. It's so bad. It's not funny bad, i felt bad watching this movie. He hasn't evolved as a person, his film making qualities have not improved at all. All his stuff looks like he's still using the same camera. I had fever one day and watched his game show, this gave me the worst fever dream imaginable. The next day i was convinced that shit was not real. Then i read up about how hi kick started all this stuff and wondered where the money goes. This stuff is truly bizarre to me and i think that would actually make a good move that is not made by him.
