* In the ''Film/HighlanderEndgame'' review, was Pat the NES Punk being serious when he said Spoony's review of Privateer 2 was way off base?
** To both of the above its a matter of opinion Pat did like privateer 2 though
** In his commentary, Spoony says that in Pat's opinion, the game is basically a flawed masterpiece, and he admits most of Spoony's criticisms. Remember how Spoony said that Privateer 2 would make a good Sci-fi movie if it actually worked? Well, Pat basically judges it as the Sci-fi movie the cutscenes make when pieced together.

He's actually finished FFXIII, so this comment is obsolete.


* Just so we're clear, did Spoony actually end his review of Final Fantasy XIII, or can we expect at least one more part? If not, it seems rather [[NoEnding sudden]].
** This was posted on the video page a day or so ago: NOTE: Don’t worry, folks, I will review XIII-2, and naturally, I can’t address the events of that game without covering the endgame of XIII. Don’t worry that the “ragequit” ending was the end of [=FF13=]. Basically I was trying to illustrate that THAT was the exact point where I quit the game in real life.

* Can someone who's actually played the game tell me whether Spoony's review of The Thing was accurate? After I watched it I just assumed it was, but it says on Wikipedia that the game sold really well and the critics seemed to like it. There was no hint of the incredible venom Spoony displayed in his review. That and the fact that the main page for TheSpoonyExperiment says that Spoony has made woefully inaccurate reviews in the past.

* Okay, so I've seen floating around here that Spoony's battlecry is [[Film/RedDawn1984 WOLVERINES!]], and yes, I ''know'' that it's potholed to ''Film/RedDawn1984'', so my question is this: Where does this come up (if at all) in his videos? I'm sorry, I'm just very confused... ^^; I mean, it was used in {{Kickassia}}, but it's also on Spoony's main page. Help...?

to:

** If I remember correctly, Spoony mentioned that he started letting unrealistic things slide that any sane GM would've vetoed just in the name of seeing what would happen (for example, one character was killed, and the replacement the player rolled just happened to be an EMT who could smuggle DMSO to the group and maintain their supply.) The solution would be not doing that.

** It's just a video that was done in a different style that had no other place to go at the time. It's now considered part of the Blackhole of Boardgames series and fits better in there. But I can understand his frustration, people didn't give him the same problems when he'd done videos labeled as reviews that were nothing more than skits with a few clips tossed in before. Then suddenly it's a thing.

* In his commentary for the Party Mania "review" Spoony admits that the video was a sketch/parody and not a review, then expresses confusion (and even a little resentment) that people complained that he labelled the video as a review and not a sketch/parody. Does this logic seem a bit disjointed to anyone else?

** Spoony's since [[http://youtu.be/JNmBr_jd3N8?t=57m30s changed his mind]] on Mass Effect 3's ending; he essentially says he gave Bioware too much credit by assuming the Indoctrination Theory was the intended take-away before the internet at large came up with it, and the extended cut was Bioware saying "nope, our ending really ''is'' that bad."

** It is not, nor should it be, the obligation or job of a fan to ''fix'' a poorly written or overall poorly produced story. That is ''beyond'' absurd. There's a reason the response to Mass Effect 3's ending was an apocalyptic shitstorm and not most of playerbase calmly saying "Oh, I'll just fix it by establishing my own head-canon, or by writing fanfiction, or by going to game development school, getting hired by Bioware and making sure the next one is better." Plenty of people wrote fix-fics, but they didn't do it because it was a solution to being let down by the actual material, it was a coping mechanism for being let down by the actual material.

* I understand the "Have Oreo do an April Fool's review" thing. But the joke doesn't work because there's not even the slightest pretense of Oreo doing the review. It's just a dog on a chair. Now, if Spoony had managed to make Oreo bark in a surprised way, and an angry way, and a sad way, and inserted them between the clips as appropriate, that would seem more like "Oreo is doing a review."

** He May have been referring to disliking it in a similar way as FF IX. He disliked things in it to the point of disliking it in the sense that they are not the kind of things he enjoys in a game, but that does not mean he outright hates it, he just doesn't like it, but is willing to aknowledge it has good things.

*** "So he can back up his words about liking the things he loves by giving them the proper closure they deserve. Wont you agree?" No, and you ask too much of Spoony in challenging him to make his own. For all the editing skill and visual effects he puts into his videos, Spoony is only one man. It's a fair call to say he likely does not have the required level of experience required to make his own "Ultima IX: Not Shitty Edition," to say nothing of the talent required to take on such a monumental project and hope to finish it. Add the stress of a full time job and you're blatantly demanding Spoony burn himself out over the course of several years for the sake of a fan project you've dropped into his lap.

To do this he would have to pick an engine, say the Dungeon Siege engine like what was used in the Ultima V: Rebirth project. Then he would to spend an indefinite amount of time learning the engine, reading guides on how to code and script on the engine, noodling around with the editor himself to build up familiarity with it, learning the engine's strengths, weaknesses, and limitations before finally sitting down and putting work toward making the actual game. He would have to write the script, code monsters, encounters, quests, spells, maps, and event flags and implement them all correctly without completely crashing the engine in the process.

*** The Sphere Grid is entirely pointless because of its linearity. The only way it can be made interesting is if you cheat and give yourself infinite warp spheres to run all over the grid and screw with the characters' intended builds.

* In his review of ''Warrior #1'', Lewis!Insano [[hottip:* :For the purpose of this question, it doesn't matter who's playing who or what I call them.]] gives Noah!Linkara a choice [[hottip:* :Whether it was actually a choice is irrelevant to my question.]] between the comic and his suicide pistol. Noah!Linkara asks for the gun, and Lewis!Insano says "you will read the comic!" while threatening him ''with the same gun''. I thought that was funny, but I can't tell if it was intentional or not.
