Did you receive my post about Welshy and my meeting him at MAGfest? I submitted it a few days ago and have yet to see it on site.

Sorry, I’d been away from the blog for a couple days. It’ll be in the queue momentarily. -Pink 

I hadn’t watched Film Brain in a while, so when I watched his review of Into Darkness I was shocked by how difficult it was to listen to without gouging my ears out.

The review itself was sloppy and underthought (as were most reviews of Into Darkness which take issue with Star Trek referencing itself but don’t bother to distinguish between an homage, a rip-off, and poor characterization and plotting, the latter two of which Into Darkness has in spades), but what really killed my enjoyment of it was the voice that Film Brain forced to an obnoxious degree. WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

People can like it as much as they want, but I get a cold bad chill running down my spine when linkara sings. somehow it´s actually unsetleing to me.

I’m learning a lot about how notto write a book through 50 Shades of Green. Thanks, Team NChick!

When I first started reading this blog after becoming a Channel Awesome fan, I saw some secret crush confessions which described how fans would blush just thinking about them, giggle while watching their videos, and be too afraid to talk to them at cons. While reading those secrets I laughed and thought to myself: ”I sure am glad I’m not that kind of fan”.

I guess I should have waited until I had seen more shows, because I soon discovered AT4W (and Lewis) and it turns out I am that kind of fan after all, because all the things I’ve mentioned above now describe me perfectly.

[Don’t get me wrong, I love Lindsay as Nostalgia Chick, but Nella is my favorite.]

Between the Critic’s Jurassic Park review and his South Park countdown, I liked having some classic-style episodes that mainly followed the NC and had Malcolm and Rachel in minor roles.

But I hope this isn’t a regular change, because those two are so good at what they do. I still want to keep seeing them!

WTFIWWY? made moving to a new town bearable because it made the house less quiet and made me laugh.

So I feel bad for wanting to do my own show where I present stories about stupid criminals and point out the flaws in their logic.

I feel like I’m stealing something from Tara. 

I would really love to go to a con the reviewers are at and meet them, but last time I did I chickened out because I was afraid of coming across as stupid/immature or crying if I did, and unfortunately, I still have those fears, even though I know I wouldn’t be the first.

I hope that someday I’ll be able to muster enough courage to go to a con and talk to some of them.

I wish I had more money

 I really wish I had the money to hire an artist. I’ve had ideas in my head for TGWTG comics for a long time. I’ve had the stories all typed out and everything for a lot of the producers. 

Like Linkara’s story involved Harvey being his uncle who stole baby Lewis from the corrupt family of warlocks he was born to lead by the Entity. The story would play out with Lewis learning who his uncle really was, and even that his best friend since he was a child Noah, was actually his familiar who was secretly watching over him.

And Brad Jones would have more of a parody comic where he and his friends and family periodically got sucked into the horrible movies he reviews. 

 I couldn’t find any artists willing to help me unless there was some kind of compensation so I wrote off the idea.

All this talk of the add problems made me think about the comics again and how I had wanted to give some if not a good chunk (Obviously the artists would deserve something) of the money to the site.

Its a shame though cause there are too many risks with a project like that :(

Though it would be amazing to see the fans come together in some show of support for the site. 

They provide so much for us when they could in reality charge us OUT THE ASS for membership to watch the videos.

I really hope that Film Brain or Phelous will co-host a live WTFIWWY at some point. They seem to have good chemistry with Nash (and potentially Tara), and I would love to see their reactions to some of the fun stuff on that show.

I wish I could be like Nostalgia Critic, and Chick and Linkara. I wish I could be Phelous and Brad and Film Brain. I wish I was as smart as Kyle or as talented as CR and gorgeous like Lupa.

Maybe that’s why I like the site so much. The people I want to be like are there. It’s sad. I’m just another no life having fan who can’t even compare or create popular things. I wish I could be like them so much.

I think its such a shame that I don’t like video games and have little interest in reviews of them, because some of the video game reviewers seem really nice, but I rarely get into them if I watch them apart from the occasional top 10 video.

Possible Social Interaction?

While it is certainly no secret that the reviewers at Channel Awesome and so forth do keep themselves busy to produce the shows we all watch, and we do see most of them now and then at conventions whenever its convenient for the fans, but this viewer can’t help but wonder this. Do they still socialize now and then and make new friends?

I’m not saying it is impossible for that to happen, but when you don’t know what goes on when the camera is off, it just makes you curious. But I have heard about several fanatics now and then harassing the reviewers (So far as I know, Spoony had it the worst. Even had to call the cops.) So it is easy to understand how some reviewers might be wary of that idea. But for this fan, I don’t get all that hyper to meet them that I would go to stalker levels, I’d rather get to know them casually. The person behind the characters and be myself as I would with my own friends. To hang out with Doug, not the Critic. Lewis, not Linkara and so on to get to know them as themselves and see if there’s a possibility for a friendship. 

But for me, the one I’d REALLY like to get to know in person is CR. I’ve been a follower and supporter for him for some time, defended him when people criticized him for his opinions on MLP:FIM when really they’re exaggerating while keeping things civil to avoid making the problem worse. He really knows his stuff for now just about entertainment, and also about being an artist and aspiring animator. And while we did talk rarely in the past, I do hope to get to know him more and hope a real friendship will blossom from that.

As a pet owner, I like it whenever a producer’s dog/cat/whatever animal makes a cameo. So much that I like to speculate what kinds of pets the producers who don’t have one would have.

I know that there might be circumstances keeping those producers from having animals (housing rules, not liking animals, allergies, etc.), but it’s still fun to imagine what kind of animal that, say, Linkara or Film Brain would own.
