I wonder if there are any retards out there that would donate a plasma tv to a nerd that talks about D&D and shit.
There's always someone dumber than you imagine.

Someone already bought him a several thousand dollars worth of video editing software, a new mic and new camare if I recall correctly. So yeah. People are that stupid.

The software was a donation he didn't ask for (and I'm guessing whoever donated something that expensive to a guy he/she doesn't know didn't even notice the expense, but the same would go for all the ridiculous, expensive stuff he's had on there). That's a bit different from begging for a plasma TV, a laptop or furniture (or whatever else, but those are the funnier, more pathetic examples) on the Internet :lol:

There's a difference between putting stuff on a wishlist and actually expecting to get any of it. I'd probably do the same thing because, hey, why the hell not?

Yep. And Spoony's got him some crazy-ass fans. Some years ago someone send him the entire Adobe suite, which costed a few thousand dollars.

That's right, give him money so he can make even LESS videos. If that's even possible.

What the fuck is this Patreon thing? I watch Spoony a lot and I admit he's probably completely lost his touch with reality. I can't understand who the fuck would watch these internet retards *trying food* or reviewing a movie with their fucking hideous stupid ugly girlfriend.. It's completely disgusting and shows how fucking insane they have become as a result of their success that they expect people to watch them eat food. Oh my god.

His reviews and the properly produced stuff are funny.
His Garriot interview was a complete failure and showed how stupid he is in a social setting, I was looking forward to it but Garriot played him like a flute and there was not a single thing of substance in the interview.

With Patreon, you pay X ammount of money after each of his videos. It is not a bad concept if you want to support someone, because this way you only pay if they produce content. Opposed to say..paying X ammount every month through paypal, regardless if they do any work.

Actually Matt you must have missed this option while setting up your own Patreon page but if you'll look closely at this page you'll notice that he's asking for money per month, not per video. Which means Rahdulan is most likely correct. But hey who wouldn't like to pay 2 bucks a month to have access to Spoony's "private photos"?

Ah ok that actually sounds pretty good, also for the feedback factor.

Can't help but like Spoony, he's one of the few people I've been following for years who's content hasn't gotten old for me, as with The Cinema Snob. I can even get enjoyment out of his fucking V-Logs (though sometimes he does admittedly get caught up in nit-picking a bit too much, which made his FFXIII review a bit of a let down, though it came off to me with those that he was trying to emulate Pinkett's style of reviewing and not really nailing it).

Could be that he's the only one of them who had the common fucking decency to buy better video and audio equipment when he started hitting it big, while the fuckwits at Channel awesom still use $20 mics they got at bestbuy and their laptop camcorders.

I agree. I think he has a natural talent for comedy (that might be a bit strong wording there) and that TOGETHER with him being actually audible and watchable makes him stand out. Channel Awesome is a complete shithole of unfunny, low budget, self indulgent idiots, I hate them with a burning passion. For the same reason I really hate it when spoony invites one of those retards into his videos, like that British imbecile with laptop mic who you can't hear nor understand. They are not funny, they are the equivalent of real life idiots wearing shits and waving signs with internet memes on them.

I even like the shitty v-logs when the topic isn't too inane, like the Counter Monkey is ok, I liked the v-log where he responds to the criticism of his Deadliest Warrior review.
I hate those fucking v-logs where he comes home from the cinema and proceeds to make a film review while disgustingly chewing on some burger throughout the whole 20 min video. It's appalling and disrespectful (example Indiana Jones review).

I don't care about his fucking dog, I don't care about his girlfriends or his real life and I can't understand his fans who cum all over this shit.
His reviews with his retard brother are also horrible because that guy can't act for shit and it's embarrassing to watch spoony interact with another human being.

EDIT: oh

Ok that's worse then.

Sorry, I haven't checked Spoony's Patreon site, I only saw Matt "not J_C" Barton's site, and he uses the pay/video option. Spoony seems delusional. But it seems it's working, because he get's 1600 dollar a month by doing 2 videos/month. And I earn 500 bucks by working 8 hours a day goddamit! :x

Holy shit, I just checked the rewards for the Patreon donations...
If there ever was a distinction between a whore and an internet critic, this has erased any doubt. Spoony - your personal bitch for just 5 dollars/month!
Private photo? Of what the fuck? His dick?
Personalized audio message? Jesus Christ, he is insane. If you pay spoony 25 fucking dollars, he will record you a message?
Audio commentary with his girlfriend? Oh my god... So uh he wants people to fund not only his life but also his girlfriend's?
FOR 100 BUCKS YOU CAN WATCH SPOONY DO CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY

I don't even know what those are, but sure seems a lot of money.

By the way, I have to ask, who are these people who spend their hard earned money on internet comedians to get their voice in a wav file?
Who are these people who can justify spending hundreds of dollars on this shit? No, really, I don't understand this.
Is it something that has to do with the throwing away money for no reason tipping culture in the USA?
Are they all rich? Have they no interests and goals of their own to spend money on? Is it the lunch money from their parents? It seems to me that for the money these people throw at internet whores they could have bought a lot of things to improve their lives in a significant way. Like food, films, new PC, a REAL whore, new fridge, tires for their car, gas.. It just seems so...wasteful, you know?

The thing is, I like Spoony. He's good at making reviews and if he stops making them, I'll stop watching. Whatever. It's not that good.

Dude, chill.

Some people think it's all right to give something back to a person who provides them with free entertainment. If they're loaded, then they can even give as much as 100 bucks a month.

Yes, I understand. But it's not free entertainment because you watch the ads and invest your free time, as apparent by the fact that Spoony makes living off it. These are literally extra gifts. It just seems to me totally insane and wasteful and I can't get into this mentality. And the second part is that Spoony rewards it with such things as a voice file. It's like if he sent you a lock of his greasy hair as thanks for your support. It signifies to me that he is either milking the people (well that's understandable) or thinks so highly of himself that he will make you pay to hear his voice.

Oh man, you can tell even he is embarrassed in those pictures :) It hurts to watch this self propelled launch to stardom he dreams to reach. I should really stop reading this shit or it could spoil my enjoyment of his videos.

:notsureifserious:

Like, wtf?

Yeah, the rewards should be better. It's not the point though. You're already getting something. And he's giving you THE OPPORTUNITY to show your appreciation IF YOU WANT TO.

It's like with those old street circus groups. Throw a dime if you want to, no pressure.

That smile is so forced and so creepy.

I agree that supporting somebody is not bad, but a photo or a voice sample as a reward is retarded.What should I do with it? Jerk off? At least MCA draw a codex troll which is funny and can use it as an emoticon or avatar. This is nothing.

I'm not sure if you ever had the misfortune of watching his streams, but Spoony nowadays is basically an unlikeable asshole tempered further by jaded cynicism towards everything in life which he has accumulated over the years. He tries to hide it with "oh, I'm such a snarky reviewer" shtick, but it really comes through in his streams where he can't edit it out or be more careful about what he says. His Twitter shenanigans are just an indication of this.
