Exactly, what made NC better in the olden times was that he just reviewed the films, now he has to put in long skits that pad the review to a ridiculous length. Before Demo Reel skits were either him doing an impression by himself or he'd get his brother in to do some stuff and it was sometimes very good. I actually think Rob is the funnier out of the two brothers when given a script.
 
I don't give enough of a shit to go back and confirm with video evidence, but it's definitely Lewis. He's the one who started his career writing masturbatory self-insert fan-fiction that makes Sword Art Online look like Shakespeare's The Tempest.
 
Has anyone ever pointed out that Demo Reel was literally Doug trying to recreate Home Movies - a show he's stated to be one of his favorites - and failing at it because he lacks charm, talent, and basic creativity? Because that's actually what that was about.

Quite a few people have pointed this out. However, I'm more likely to say that Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is what Demo Reel was trying to be.
 
I know Brad did a Demo Rell spoof but the problem was that was leagues better then Doug's actual product. It was so good that people wanted it to become an actual thing.

people on the Channel Awesome forms was also hating on it even before someone posted the retsupurae riff
 
Speaking of Something Awful. Hope Chapman, a.k.a., JesuOtaku, has an account there.

Any word on her lately? I actually liked her work back in the day. But as time went on, she seemed more and more like an absolute cunt, a backstabber, a massive coward, lazy,* and incredibly smug.

What the hell happened?

*Not quite at the level of Noah, but she's definitely in the ballpark.

Yup. I think he was the first anyway.

The earliest instance of story-line in Linkara's videos that I could find was this. This video was posted June 22, 2009, back when the site was barely a year-old. So it's pretty safe to say he started the trend.

P.s My first post please be gentle.

The last I heard of her, she got her boyfriend's mates to troll the TGWTG forums because she's that pathetic.

All I know is her leaving Nash really fucked him up. He's hitting the SJW bottle pretty hard now.

Shit, really? Are there caps of this?

I lost a lot of respect for her when she puckered up for the camera while back talking on a pay forum that hasn't been relevant since you could call someone a faggot without people acting like you committed a hate crime, but that's the kind of thing I'd expect from Lewis.

I never followed Nash all that much, but I still know about what Hope did to him. Buying a house with somebody only to leave them for a guy with a slightly better job and left hanging for the bill is so petty and childish I'm surprised his balls didn't commit seppuku out of shame.

Has Hope ever once tried to justify this? Or does she just blob out more lies like Josh Duggard at a family values symposium?

She quit doing reviews and started doing editorial work for Anime News Network.

I knew about that awhile ago.

I never liked the way she did this. It was pretty clear she'd given up on the JesuOtaku stuff years ago both due to her incapability of making a commitment to anything and her compulsive laziness.

I never bothered to watch her goodbye video, though. It just felt like a waste of time. The only thing that interests me is if there's any dirt, burials, or lies involved.

She explicitly states in the video that having a cultivating personality as your selling point has too many disadvantages to be worth the time so I imagine that meant she began keeping things as private as possible.
