Spoony's PnP Tales

[Helly]

I understand that he's best when he's just sits there and rambles about stuff, but I think it's time for Spoony to learn of existance of book marks.

This.
When you spend more than 10% of your videos time searching books and reading them, you know you have a problem.
Anyway, Counter monkey is still definitely among his best stuff.

Spoony on CYBERPUNK 2020

How fitting that they are making popamole vidya game based on a pnp system that is much shittier and unbalanced as compared to it's superior cousin Shadowrun, which in turn is getting proper treatment.

Spoiler

inb4 someone mentions 2007's Shadowrun

And he's opened a new Youtube Channel for the "Counter Monkey" videos!

Further of Spoony.

 

[Rahdulan]

I kinda want him to take a look at Rifts, considering he complained about its lack of balance way back in one of his earlier videos.

Spoony has a new video up:

 

[Shadenuat]

Good video, especially about terrain. Don't agree with him about wizards though, if you know that DM has that thing about attacking somebody who dresses as a wizard, you can play it to your advantage. Dressing as a badass wizard with hat and robe, and tons of jewelry can lead to awesome roleplaying options with intimidation and making yourself a reputation.
And you'll look good on "Wanted!" posters too!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

And he mentioned the Midnight campaign setting...

Playing doomed heroes in an overrun land where the BBEG won is quite awesome.

 

[Shadenuat]

I always wanted to play something like Might&Magic which was won by Archibald, or Wizardry where evil party got their hands on Cosmic Forge.

 

[Tytus]

Didn't he talk about Conga line of death in an another video? I vaguely remember hearing it before from him.

 

[J_C]

I think he just mentioned it in a previous video, instead of dedicating a full episode to it.

 

[MicoSelva]

There was a Midnight-themed expansion for the RuneBound board game. I've heard it's pretty good, but I've never played it, since most of my playgroup cannot into English and it was never released in Potato-speak.

 

[Tytus]

Do you guys know about any other shows similar to counter monkey?

 

[Jick Magger]

Looks like Noah jumped ship from Channel Awesome just in the nick of time.

What do you mean?

They're all still unfunny hacks, Doug Walker had do go back to being the Nostalgia Critic after his attempt at branching out with Demo Reel, an aggressively unfunny piece of shit, blew up in his face, etc.
Meanwhile, Noah seems to be getting his shit together and his life back in order.

I recall an article where it said Doug Walker (Nostaliga Critics) amassed over 2 million dollars doing his schtick. It seems you can be unfunny and still get money for doing comedy. Go figure.

Humor is subjective.

Humor is subjective.

True. Yet it still baffles me, why people would pay for something lilke Kiickassia where most of the humor consisted of screaming and running around. Especially when they were able watch it for free on the site. But I don't have to understand everything.

I don't get that either. I admit I like the NC, but it never occured to me to pay even a penny for their DVDs. Especially for their anniversary videos (like Kickassia), which most of the time suck. I'm interested in the NC videos, but everything else is just banal shit boring. Why should I buy them then?

He actually did a written one way back when here.

Oh, I thought they had some spectacular failure or something. I agree that Spoony improved after leaving CA.

 

[sea]

I haven't noticed too much change in Spoony lately, however, what I did notice was the lack of incredibly, pathetically unfunny cameos by other TGWTG morons. Who gives a shit about "Jewario" or whatever anyway? Or that fat kid? Major incline.

I was amazed how spot on Spoony was about tgwtg.com being terrible for promoting anything except Nostalgia Critic. Demo Reel, Doug's own show, was almost unnoticable there.

A new one just went up...
