I dont think I ever watched Nostalgia Critic. What does he do ? Someone feed me the info im to lazy to look it up and crave human interaction even if its through the internet.

What I know mostly comes from the Folding Ideas video about him.

Most replayed part

Nostalgia Critic: I have become comfortably dumb.

Dan Olson: And, you know what, I’m not going to disagree. You said it, man. I don’t know if it works as self-deprecating humour because I don’t think it’s comedically true, I think it’s just true.

"Doug wants to be a filmmaker, he wants to make art, but he can't, because he's a fundamentally incurious person who isn't much interested in what other people think or feel and all his ideas boil down to "What if Batman met Mario?"."

"Like The Room, it's a deeply cynical product made by a fundamentally untalented man, bored by the idea of personal growth, building so many layers of self-protective irony that it becomes unintentionally revealing."

Brutal.

I remember having to pause the video after that second bit. The piled-on criticisms, so matter-of-factly delivered, needed some recovery time. Your assessment is spot on.

He made shit videos that were like the Angry Video Game Nerd, but for movies. There was a whole "Channel Awesome" stable of YouTube video people making similar content that he ran (?) - there was some sort of small business tyrant shit going on, but I don't remember the details. He also made a bunch of terrible movies.

Thanks for responding to me. I now can tell my therapist I have regular contact with "real" people

Only difference is James Rolfe is playing a character. Doug Walker is just being himself.

A streamer I watch has a redeem to stop whatever they're doing and watch the entirety of Kickassia, so I've seen that once.

I thought your avatar was the nostalgia critic for a long time.

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I could see that
