Now I just want to see the alleged budgets for all of their movies even more, since if Phelous is honest (I'm pretty inclined to believe him too), then a lot of their stuff technically was likely pro-bono on their ends, and the people barring the Chicago Outfit probably didn't see that much money, if any from it.

I knew it was pretty much Doug's show, but boy howdy, I didn't expect it to this degree. I knew you'd have to be mental to make this your full job, but this reinforces it for me.
 
(())__(()) reading those two posts I amend my prior statement.

If Doug Walker were to apply for a job outside to the real world, it will take whitewashing, being apologetic, with lots of bullshitting. He will need to place emphasis on running a small media business and how hard it is to keep businesses afloat. Managing a website and cooperating with other people to host their content on his website. As for the unprofessional way of how he left his prior job, he should say, "I was stupid and that was unprofessional, but now that I am older I see that was wrong. After running a business of my own, I now understand the importance of professionalism. I may have made some mistakes, but we all make blunders and the important part is that we learn from them." He will need to play the management and creativity card hard, and any mistakes he made (Blistered Thumbs) needs to play the "We all learn from our mistakes and some methods are less effective then others. I grew overconfident in our brand which blinded me to needed criticism. I am humbled from my experience and learned it is important to listen and respect the people under you." If he plays his cards right, I think he can be hirable and he does have talent.

He is going to need a lot bullshitting skills to get recruiters to even look at his resume
 
Damn. I've heard rumors that CA wasn't all sunshine and flowers behind the scenes, but getting fired for being AFK for 15 minutes? Jesus christ.

Good riddance. The site was really beginning to bloat post Suburban Knights. Phelan always made jabs at To Boldly Flee, but didn't know the background to it. This paints those in a whole new light.
 
meh, my fav reviewers these days are sfdebris, redlettermedia, and brad jones. RLM will be unaffected by the implosion of channel autism, and SFdebris/brad jones are easily able to maintain an audience on their own

Oh if Brad evers ends up leaving then CA is done. Not right away of course but thats a massive number of hits gone. I CA knows that and are willing to suck Brads dick as much as he wants because they don't want him leaving

I can't fault these guys for leaving but holy shit. Don't make the fucking internet your whole job. Have a backup plan just in case. I'm gonna wrestle sperg here a bit but for new guys getting in the business alot of the older guys will tell you straight up, the job pays like shit unless your at the top and to always have a back up plan or another source of income on the likely chance you don't make it. The same is true for this kinda stuff. Don't plan your whole life around it because one day the ride ends and you'll need something else to keep you floating.

Also to bring this back to wrestling since I'm a nerd CA is apparently handling it's talent like WCW did and everyone but the either the newcomers or the hardcore main stays are leaving.

With Doug as WCW Hulk Hogan, doing things with editorial authority to make himself look good.
 
I used to be big fans of the Nostalgia Critic and AVGN but their quality has dropped over the past few years. The only Reviewer I watch anymore thats entertaining is Brad Jones.

On a side note does anyone remember the spax3 shitstorm?

Wasn't spax3 a huge Sonic fan that responded to criticism really badly? That name sounds familiar.

He was a game reviewer who got pissed over some guy who was voice acting 4kids sonic the hedgehog and responded to commentaries by filing false DCMA's on YouTube until he was driven off the site. This was back around 2008-2009. I don't know much about what he's up to today but you can read his Encyclopedia Dramatica page.

Last thing I read related to Spax was on 8chan's /Pone/. He apparently interviewed some VA from MLP as far as I know. One comment said it was cringeworthy.

From both of those blog posts, this could be the end if more people leave due to those two posts. To be honest, I'm interested to see CA forum's react about it. I know about their response to negative feedback on anyone saying "don't watch it" when I used to be there in 2011.

They seem to be calling for Mike Michaud's blood. This shit is too far for them!

You seem to keep a good track on CA, i found out the reason of NChicks leaving but nothing about Phelous, is there any good ol' drama behind it? I can't find jack shit about it... Not that he was a favourite, i didn't care much for the bootleg zone, but he could dig up some insane animated "films" wich i appreciated.

He's the CEO of Channel Awesome. The big boss.

I was actually under the impression he was one of the saner people involved in the site - if it hadn't been for him, Doug would have likely have accidentally killed the site four years ago by posting a "HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE MY AWESUM VIDEO?!?!" rant after the justifiably bad reaction to "Let's Play Bart's Nightmare" - but I guess he's just as much a dickbag as any other self-imagined bigshot producer.

Apparently Phelous was going to leave anyway, but the clusterfuck around Lupa caused him to accelerate his departure.
