They still existed?

I watch Larry's videos because they're usually fairly interesting gaming topics and I like his voice/catchphrases, but I have some a few other videos claiming that he is an asshole.

Larry was Channel Awesome! Remember all the controversy with The Guy with the Glasses and he wasn't leaving. Gosh this is Wii U era drama.

This may be old news (it's been a long time since I went to the site), but going to channelawesome.com just redirects to their YouTube page. So I guess it's literally just Doug Walker's stuff now.

For people who dont know, most Channel Awesome (business of Doug Walker aka Nostalgia Critic that packaged several YouTubers together under one loose brand of content reviewing) nominal members withdrew from the website when people published that Change the Channel google doc about the incompetence/unprofessionalness of the business and its owners. As a joke Guru Larry wanted to be the last remaining person on the website.

He seems to not get along with a lot of elder Millennial/Gen X retro game YouTubers but has brought up a lot of good points in the past.

The retro gaming YouTube scene is surprisingly drama-filled.

Channel Awesome was a network for "content creators" run by The Nostalgia Critic and his friends.

Before Youtuber became a common legitimate career option, it was a platform for content creators to band together. Spoony, Linkara, Ross Scott, Cinema Snob, Guru Larry etc.

As time went on Channel Awesome became increasingly irrelevant as Youtube modernized.

Then there was a huge "Change the Channel" controversy where it was revealed that the guys running Channel Awesome were childish douchebags who were mean to everyone and made everyone miserable..

The bad press + irrelevancy caused pretty much everyone to leave and it became a running gag amongst Guru Larry fans that he wasn't leaving and he would be the last man standing.

The Joke being that Larry was one of the least important creators on the site throughout its tenure. Didn't really have any connection to the controversy and just kept doing his thing.

It's one of those "It's actually kinda funny if you know the context" but not easy to explain why it's funny if you know nothing about Channel AWesome or those involved

That's it. The Spoony One was even on that before he got kicked off for personal misconduct. This was way before the mass Exodus.

To be honest. I never got into Doug Walker, I just knew of some ppl who were there. Guru Larry was good. I don't think he put out a video in awhile.

I know about Channel Awesome as stated but yea the Guru Larry thing there was hilarious he kept saying he'd be the last one.

Indeed he was.

https://thatguywiththeglasses.fandom.com/wiki/Accursed_Farms

He was kicked off for Not releasing at least 2 videos a month.

He says that he wasn't aware of this rule change because it was made in a meeting he wasn't invited too. He says getting information and talking to the guys running Channel Awesome was really difficult as they just ignored you.

He's not bitter tho. His reaction to the Change the Channel controversy was just "Yeah that sounds about right."

I didn't find Ross until I dunno 2015 on YouTube. Seems like he made a name for himself just on his own eventually.

He would stream very sparingly, but yea. Also people still contribute to the Spoony Patreon for some reason.

What a fucking wild ride The Spoony Experiment was. I don't know what I loved more, the first couple years of his content or the spiral into madness and obscurity. His forums were my second home to GameFAQs before they got nuked.

He pops on a stream now and then and still gets pity donations to his Patreon for some reason.

I still have a Spoony hoodie. It's the Giant Dizzy Gillepsie one. It feels small for an XL. I actually bought a beware the sacrilege hat too but I think it fell apart got too dirty. I don't even remember why I don't have the hat anymore.

Seems fitting for a dude who is sometimes forgotten. Spoony is one of those "celebs" who I found funny but meeting him or obvs following social media. Could make me like him way way less.

I forgot to mention I did post on his forums too but they were so snarky attack first. It was like posting on stucknut which was an unofficial Jim Rime forum. And you'd pick teams you are following lately and people be like.

What the fuck? The (NFL) Cardinals and the Orioles. Pick one bird. It was w/e but as an example there was vitriol on stucknut.

I guess birth by fire I was learning. I did this on a strange unofficial A New Found Glory forum.

I digress. But at least Larry won.

I'm not sure if he "officially" is. Unless something changed recently, he's still friends with the Walkers, and I imagine he'll appear in their stuff, but none of his own content was posted on CA; he posts everything under the Stoned Gremlin Productions channel.
