The Spoony Experiment

Something big is coming…

by Spoony on July 1, 2009 · 201 comments

I’m sorry that I’ve been so quiet lately. It’s been a rough month with technical problems, but also a very uplifting one with the amazing show of generosity and support from the fans. It’s been a struggle, but I think I’m making some progress getting back to status quo.

Something big has come up, and I’ve decided to drop everything and write a very special review– probably one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done from a technical standpoint. But I think it’ll be a fitting sendoff to mark the end of an era. I’ll have to remain mysterious for now, but rest assured, things will never be the same again.

Addendum : yeah, maybe it’s something about MJ. That makes more sense. And I hope it’ll be awesome.

A Spoony sex tape?

Never even think about that.

For his and our sake, I hope it is something that can bring in money. But it probably isn’t.

Definitely a sex tape.

Question is, what with?
The chicks from spooning?
Burton?
Quistus?

“the end of an era”?
……
That doesn’t sound good o_o

I don’t think it’ll have anything to do with Michael Jackson. TGWTG did a review of the movie Moonwalker while AVGN did a review of the game.

As for Twilight… I’m suprised he hasn’t forced himself to watch it yet. But, while that would be interesting, I seriously doubt that’s what he planned on doing. It’s probably something along the line of Wrestlemaniac where he saw something that caught his eye and felt that he needed to review it.

He’s totally got himself a new camera, so i’m guessing it will be an epic look back at everything him and his trusty camera have done through the years! Like a MONTAGE!

the line “things will never be the same again” makes my worry.

PastaLibre July 2, 2009 at 12:13 pm

First I was thinking about some kind of MST3K thing…
But Sean (#104) might actually be right… You’re just talking about the Terror TRAX FMV, aren’t you? ^^

“Things will never be the same again”?

Someone’s been reading too many comics.

…MORE FINAL FANTASY 8! That’s why I got on this site in the first place..

“I bet he’s going 100% over to TGWTG site … aww”

Hmm…wouldn’t surprise me, actually, what with the trouble he’s been having with advertisers.

Heavy_Boab July 2, 2009 at 1:52 pm

Actually thinking about it now, it’s more than likely going to be the end of FF8 FINALLY! lol

I have no idea where else to put it. In response to part 2 of your transformers movei, it is mentioned that putting a film poster of your own movie in your own movie is not done. Kubrick dit it in A Clockwork Orange.

This’ll probably go unnoticed, but I just had to get it of my mind.

Noah’s undertaken plastic surgery. He now looks exactly like James Rolfe.
Indeed, things will never be the same again

Here’s hoping it’s a review of Twilight in the nude.
Pleasing the male fans by bashing twilight, and pleasing the female fans by being so deliciously nude.

I can’t wait man. Spoony forever!!

W00T!!

I’m scared D: someone hold me

Burncan July 2, 2009 at 3:32 pm

A few possible explanations, based on absolutely nothing but raw speculation;

- It’s about his new camera.
- He struck a deal with another site for a regular paycheck.
- He got a new apartment / place of residence.
- He got a crew, or at least some kind of assistance.

If the end of the era thing isn’t referring to his own site (though I’m guessing it is);
- Some kind of tribute to Michael Jackson or Billy Mays.

It will probably be something I never would have thought of. Regardless, I’m sure it will be awesome.

Shamack July 2, 2009 at 3:36 pm

I am warning you now Spoony

If you change the look of the site, you will get shot
If you review a barbie game, you will get shot
If you cancel the FFVIII reviews, you will get shot
If you team up with me in SWAT4, you will get flashbanged

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Alright Noah! Good luck :D We’ll see your plan Spoony man *evil laugh*

Isn’t it obvious – FF8 drawing montage. You know every spell draw to max on three characters (maybe even six characters, oh dear lord, that’s heavenly awesome). I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it. Today, when I was walking home, I wanted to scream to whole world: “GOD DAMN, DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND ULTIMATE OF ULTIMATES IS COMING – DRAWING COMPILATION. YOU DRAW UNTIL YOU CAN’T NO MORE!!!!”

dingo drawer again July 2, 2009 at 3:44 pm

P.S. could you explain how you modified FF8 files so you have space for all the spells.

MindOfCrazyPerson222 July 2, 2009 at 3:49 pm

My guess is that this is related to the end of TGWTG and the start of Channel Awesome.
But I could be wrong.

Spooning with Spoony 2 : Revenge of the Shocker?

A Former Fan. July 2, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Are you really this incapable of picking something and sticking with it, Spoony? You haven’t finished any of your current ‘projects’, and you expect us to get excited about something NEW you’re going to start and probably never finish?

Count me out.

184
sfried July 2, 2009 at 7:50 pm

I just saw your other post about mic problems.

You might want to ask the twit.tv guys for some advise, since Leo Laport definitely has experience in broacasting quality and things like that. Or maybe you already did…

poop July 2, 2009 at 8:49 pm

You saw Postal and liked it?
You found a part of ff8 that you CAN’T bitch about?
You’re going on a fast food free diet?

TELL US!!!

SpoonyTwo July 2, 2009 at 8:53 pm

He’s inviting James Rolfe to his place and finishes FFVIII.

Can’t wait man. Sorry about the technical difficulties that’s a bummer.

Wormwoods July 2, 2009 at 10:39 pm

I also check the site every day in hopes of a new video, but know that you are producing quality here. I hope that the news is that you are getting PAID! If not, you should. The Karl Malden tribute suggestion was the best. Viva Spoony!

#184 A Former Fan.

Lighten up, man.
He did TWO reviews only to find they had no audio – wouldn’t that be discouraging to you?
He hasn’t left any of his old projects, he’s just putting them on hiatus to do this.

190
Zeiram July 3, 2009 at 12:27 am

I completely agree with #190 V on that, some times I forget so save the stories I write and then I feel like its more of a chore to try and remember ever last detail. sometimes I’d rather dump a project that I lost my place on than try to redo it.

Tea Man July 3, 2009 at 12:32 am

Guesses:

1.Going outside to film – mentioned on the “Static” blog

If it’s your mic, we can hear you amazingly fine on the on-board mic!!!!!! And as for the old camera…

DON’T DESTROY IT! IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!!!

ecwsandman13 July 3, 2009 at 6:35 am

Spoony you need to get a countdown website and leak it to someone and have it cownt down to another clock leading to an anouncement that almost everyone say coming but put a link on the page that leads to the real suprise

195
Foobawr July 3, 2009 at 8:18 am

I look forward to seeing more on the Ripper btw.

196
Myst July 3, 2009 at 8:51 am

i don’t mind that Spoony has multiple projects unfinished out there. it just means that we will have a lot of stuff to look forward to down the road. As for this “Something big is coming” im curious as to what it could be. so i will be waiting eagerly for any info on this. In the mean time i would love more of those “Reasons i shouldn’t write screenplays” i really enjoyed those.

tarvok July 3, 2009 at 10:05 am

ok who’s pregnant or getting married… or maybe a move in roommate

Something big is coming? Spoony hasn’t been updating because he has constipation?

Keep on squeezing Spoony it will come out eventually!

Zangamarth July 5, 2009 at 3:26 pm

It won’t be something personal like marriage etc, I bet. Guys, he’s talking about a new REVIEW, a big, challenging REVIEW. Not a challenging point of his personal life. So I’m guessing… well, frankly, I have no idea, can’t wait though, been here for a good long time, this oughta be cool.
