Kyle's next incoming project. On Twitter he's been making lots of requests of "things of Star Wars that aren't Star Wars", like "Death Stars that aren't the Death Star" or "Obi-Wans that aren't Obi-Wan".

Anyone know why his review of Shame is missing? I think he might've deleted it.

Absolutely incredible. It must have been a nightmare to assemble, and it's a little scary just how many works of the past and future one can recognize in it. Star Wars is all over everything.

(I recognize a Halo 4 clip I pointed out to Kyle on Twitter. grin)

The recognition of the tropes at work and recreation of the themes was absolutely brilliant. grin

Really enjoyed that video and a lot of his videos that I've seen on his youtube page. I keep trying to find his older ones(specifically his Melancholica review), but the "best" I can find are still image videos that link to some Russian site.

His earliest review on his channel so far is Mister Lonely, the one just after Melancholia. Apparently he's been having to rework a lot of them to appease Youtube copyright bots.

No. Todd has hosted some on Vimeo for now, but Kyle has said on Twitter that it's Youtube or bust and that eventually Screenwave will go the way of Blip.

Screenwave is gonna go down like Blip? What might this mean for Channel Awesome?

Does Kyle have, like, proof for this, or is it just general pessimism?

Like.

If Kyle genuinely thinks that, okay. If there's some evidence or trends in the market, yeah, could make some sense. It's good for Kyle to try to see where the wind is blowing to keep ahead and all that.

But.

I dunno.

[up][up]Depends. How many CA members are on Screenwave? Just Doug and...

[up]Might be pessimism, but Blip was way bigger than Screenwave is, and if it couldn't sustain itself then Screenwave has an uphill climb.

I think most of the site uses it now. I'm pretty sure Linkara uses it (of course he also uses You Tube, but his new videos are usually unlisted). Doug is popular enough that he can probably use You Tube for a while, unless copyrights hit him again.

Well, You Tube now gives people who bring in big views legal help with copyright claims, so it's probably not a huge issue anymore for him.

And yet Team Four Star have yet to get all their videos back up.

#842: Jan 1st 2016 at 1:05:59 PM

[up]First, their videos are back up.

Like.

You literally could have checked before posting.

Second, youtube only does it if they think there's actually an airtight, textbook case to be made for fair use. And Team Four Star literally uses another company's animation footage and sometimes music.

Like. They're in an extremely gray area and they know it. It doesn't how matter how many views they get, there is a significant likelihood that if they went to court they would lose.

Of course, now TFS's DBZ abridged series is being monetized by Toei, so that should be an end to it.

Might be pessimism, but Blip was way bigger than Screenwave is, and if it couldn't sustain itself then Screenwave has an uphill climb.

I mean. I thought what I heard about Screenwave was that it works differently than Blip did? Like, it's just a player. And an ad provider. It's not a website or database or server or anything.

And, like.

Screenwave also seems like they work with youtube and have youtube partners anyway.

Some of their vids never got taken down to begin with.

The vids that were taken down have been back up for a week already.

You had internet access when you made that post.

Youtube's interface is probably easier than TV Tropes' is.

It's not like the current status of Team Four Star's vids on youtube is some unknowable thing in an ancient lost text in the library of alexandria or something. It's google-able.

...I mean, sorry for being condescending, but.

...Basic easy fact checking is becoming a bit of a pet peeve.

Sorry.

Last I heard from a quick search through about 10 pages of the DBZ Abridged thread, someone said "oh hey they're back!" and then went back to say "whoops, never mind". I've been doing things with my family that are keeping me from looking, Miss Unnoun.

Googling TV Tropes, entering my username and password, going to a thread, clicking the "add a post" button, typing what I want to say. These are things that take about as much time as looking up incredibly popular youtube playlists.

...I mean, do you get all your information from TV Tropes? Because. Like. Don't do that.
