The Spoony Experiment: The Thread

At least he's used to that by now, so it shouldn't get under his skin. Small blessings from being Internet Famous, right?

Anyone else still interested in the proposed Paranoia episode of Counter Monkey from the Free RPG Day video? I still think that saying "People who play the game like this are wrong" just flat out is in poor taste considering how people want different things out of their games. BUT, the only stories I've heard/read about Paranoia are that same sort of silly, not-taking-the-world-seriously kind. That's funny, usually, but there's some untapped potential in playing Alpha Complex and Friend Computer straight. The line between funny and horrifying is really thin and rests on context.

I've not seen it, but I can imagine.

As much as I love Noah, he has a habit of inserting his foot in his own mouth(like the time he said anyone that believed in God should be medicated)

Spoony didn't learn the lesson the last time,anyone bet they will choose Rap Rat?he's practically asking for it.That seems the most painful thing to endure,maybe even more than the Fishing one...

Oh fuck yes, I've been wondering what the hell that Rap Rat was, and it looks worse than I ever could have imagined.

Yeah, that "Experience Bij" clip was appropriate.

It was unfortunately the highest one when I voted; the Star Trek one was right behind it.

well,it's Spoony's fault for basically saying PICK THAT ONE

I voted Rap Rat. I wanted to experience Bij and see what the fuck that was. The hell.

I voted for the Star Trek one, because that's where the Experience Bij clips come from.

But Rap Rat hurts more. I want to see what in the name of God Almighty is up. I need context to that shit. How do you PLAY Rap Rat?

I saw the complete Rap Rat video on youtube.That was REALLY painful.What human being is capable of such torture?

If we could vote for two, the Star Trek one would be my second choice since it gave us the "Experience Bij" clips. But yeah, that rat was haunted me from the first time I saw it. Thinking about it, it's like watching SHODAN from System Shock if she wasn't a genocidal supercomputer with delusions of godhood and just...glitchy and insane. Seriously, here's my best transcription of the Bij footage: "Fldsfldsnflasdjfl;adfasdfb,asmb ah-ha ha fs;ljfsdnf gerogthelg ah-ha ha R-r-r-rap rat".

That little fucker looks like alpha footage from Five Nights At Freddys.

I'm baffled by the choice to name your Sherlock Holmes game VCR 221B Baker Street. VRC Sherlock Holmes not good enough? Can't come up with any title other than his address?

I'm still a little confused as to why he's bothering with polls at all. Two polls means a lot of weeks that he's waiting for results when he could be making videos. Videos that would be watched more than once per viewer, and hence videos that would earn more money. If he can't decide, he could just pick names out of a hat, save himself time, and give all of us more entertainment.

Why you assuming he's not making videos while the polls are running? Do you have surveillance running at his place?

He did technically do a video

Spoony talks about his plans regarding the show and Patreon stuff.

Oh no. Spoony is quitting twitter. What a loss.

Sarcasm aside, glad to hear a plan of attack from him. Can't wait to see some of this new stuff.

Has anything worthwhile ever been done via Twitter?

Scheduling is always a good idea. Especially when that schedule contains the possibility of more regular Counter Monkey videos.

Well unless he mentioned it in his schedule, it's gonna be thrown off quick. WWE PPV tomorrow. He's gonna do a Wrestle Wrestle for it I'm sure.

Uh, yeah, he said he'd work on Counter Monkey in weeks without a wrestling event.

I've tried to watch the Wrestle! Wrestle! videos but I just don't understand it or care. Wrestling has never been my thing. Conversely, I like watching Spoony rant about other things in relation to wrestling. Like the previous video to this one—he spent a good chunk of time discussing bad business practices and shoddy storytelling in a wrestling context. I don't care about John Cena, his special moves, or a blow-by-blow recount of what he did to Big McLargehuge, whatever...but I can appreciate the idea that a sudden come-back after what should be the beating of his life a waste of a possible plot.

If anyone watches the Wrestle! Wrestle! videos, I'd love to know if there's anything in them that I can enjoy. Like "15 minutes in he starts bitching about character tropes" or something.

I'd have to watch the new one but in theory wrestling is a storytelling medium and trope creator/user that is unique. I might take notes when Spoony talks about that.

That's why I have a very limited interest it in. I'd like to know the meta-details of wrestling more than anything about the actual wrestling. One of my favorite Counter Monkey episodes was his two-parter about the wrestling RP Gs—again, not because I care about wrestling but because I was fascinated to see the difference between a half-assed cash-in and a true labor of love that accurately simulates the subject.

In his review of Hell in a Cell he rants about how nonsensical Dean Ambrose's and John Cena's match to determine who would face Seth Rollins in the Cell was. Basically it boiled down to "Ambrose wins, he gets Seth. Cena wins, he gets a shot at the title." It probably needs a bit more context then that but it's somethin'.

The commentators shit on people who paid full price for the PPV rather then 9.99, some more imbecilic JBL commentary and Spoon likens the Main Event to a drum solo.

As much as I like Spoony, I agree him leaving Twitter might be for the best because he just keeps repeatedly making an ass out of himself and alienating literally 90% of his fanbase.

Given that his fans give him enough money to fund a movie, I'd say he doesn't alienate 90% of them. Still, a lot of the drama was Twitter-related anyway.

Thanks, maybe I'll give this one a try.
