Ah yes, you should've mentioned that there are loud jump scares at around the 1:21-1:30 mark and at the very end of the first video (Paranormal Activity 4 review), so turn your volume down or skip past those points.
Also, earlier,, during the debate

Reminds me of that one episode of Ask That Guy With The Glasses.
Though I recall he had a warning on top of the video (If you watched it at the website)

the YT reviewer JeremyJahns did it once too but it was brief. i really hate when reviewers do this in their video reviewers. if i wanted that i would just go see the movies.

It's at the very end, so... around 01:06:03? When he says "the series is over, the series is dead", that's when you'll want to close the window or pause the video, because it comes after the "Continued in Part 2" card comes up.
There are no screamers in the Part 2: Sinister video, AFAIK.
yea, I skimmed through Sinister to check lol. thabkfully, he posted that he won't add these screamers anymore. what a terrible decision. don't make me stress out over a review.
speaking of the Sinister review, his recommendations for other horror movies was awesome. even if you don't care about that movie, watch the review cuz the analysis for other horror movies was pretty awesome in the second half of the video.
I'm sorry yall. I always post updates before I actually watch the videos, and I totally forgot...my bad.
Yeah, for sure. I thought that was dumb as fuck when he did it, but I guess he did get his point across.
Also, I want to watch every single movie he mentioned. My friend has Audition on DVD, so I think I'm going to watch that later on tonight. I know you can find Prince of Darkness on Youtube, which sucks quality wise, but it's there.

I need to learn to speak like Spoony, the guy talks how I would love to talk but I lack the clarity and mental capacity to talk like him without stuttering.

I'm sure most of that is tied to his theater background and having done these things for so long. Just start doing it, even if it's only for yourself, and you're bound to get better.

From the twitter:
So I guess FFXIII is probable. Tho it is halloween so who knows. Also the review might be delayed a bit.

OOOOH FUCK YES!
My favorite thing is when spoony and such review the stuff thats a bit more obscure.
Since it lets me expierence an older game without having played it.
Excellent. Loved part one. My wife and I actually hooked our computer to our TV and spent a couple hours on Saturday night watching Part 1 and the entirety of his FF VIII playthrough (which she'd never seen). Honestly, wasn't a bad way to spend an evening.

Dear lord, what an awful game, hahahaha
Just got around to watching part 1 yesterday, so the timing on part 2 was quite nice.
Excited for his next big review. : )

His reviews are so much better when he's on his 2006 shit.

Apparently FFXIII review part 1 is out in 2 weeks with a new part every 2 weeks after. I think it might be a 4 parter with the last one being a late christmas episode like with FFX review. Can't wait .

Is the ring part 1 on youtube or blip yet?
I HATE that new player, I know its because of the money but the only way I can watch the videos out here is if I download them off blip or yahoo.

Yep, Spoony almost never disappoints, I am looking forward to his review of FFXIII, God what a boring ass game that was.

Does anyone have a link to the movie blog Spoony's brother Miles writes? I read it a while ago and randomly remembered it existed this morning but I haven't had any luck finding it. Last time I read he was going through the Movies To See Before You Die book and reviewing all of them, they were pretty good.

I can't wait either. These reviews are always so blunt and hilarious.

finally watched the Ring video game thing omg it was hilarious glad he has not lost his touch! 
great videos hopefully his next "big" review comes in soon.

Is it just me, or would anyone prefer just to see him do more daily VLOGS instead of proper reviews? I mean, I feel weird criticizing the guy, because he's given me so much entertainment over the years, but I feel like his reviews just aren't as interesting as his VLOGS anymore, which usually are just off-the-cuff reviews anyway.
Either way, I'm excited to see what his FF 13 review has in store.

I like the mix of both. The talking to the camera stuff in his blogs is really nice because of the less formal (kind of?) feel they have. He's just talking about stuff that means a lot to him, and it's really easy to stay engaged with what he's talking about. The reviews come off a little less sincere after having watched a lot of vlogs in a row, but it's pretty much meant to be entertainment before opinion, so it doesn't bother me as much. It's probably more difficult to be as enthusiastic about something he doesn't really like in his video reviews as opposed to the things he talks more passionately about in his vlogs, which is where that feeling comes from.
Really glad he manages to produce enough vlogs to make the breaks between reviews/videos feel less painful. : P

I much prefer his VLOGs. Many of his reviews just become so gimmicky and obnoxious imo. I could watch VLOGs of him unboxing games I have no interest in normally, or talking about board games that I don't play. He's just a great guy to listen to when he's talking normally about stuff.

Okay, the make my video one was pretty hilarious.
I don't think I'd care about unboxing, but yeah, I'd rather hear him just have more VLOGs where he just goes off on whatever; movie, game, etc. That's kind of how the Counter Monkey series started, and that's probably one of my favorite thing of his. His best stuff usually seems to be stuff that's completely off-the-cuff, like those VLOGs or Counter Monkeys, or semi-scripted stuff like Let's Play Phantasmagoria or Let's Play Ripper.

Oh Spoony you so crazy.
I'd rather just hear his honest ranting. People love FFX for example and still love the review.

He's right though, the music in FFXIII is terrible, and mostly inappropriate, particularly in the way it competes against the melodramatic voice acting. It's something that became a bit of pet peeve of mine throughout the gamen, in that the music was competing against the voice acting, instead of underpinning the voice acting. It's like serving ice cream and serving more ice-cream as the topping.
To be honest, he really shouldn't be doing FFXIII anyway, unlike FF8 and FF10, which are kind of quirky and interesting in their own way, FFXIII is just monotonous and dull. I just don't think there's enough there to make a funny review out of it.

I much more enjoy the Reviews over the Vlogs.
Since I enjoy the jokes, gimmicks, and everything else that makes a spoony review.
His Vlogs tend to be way to log, and while they have good points just aren't for me.
But then again im not a podcast guy either (Which a VLOG basically is)
Anyway can't wait to see his FF13 review. Though I agree, him reviewing it personally isn't really needed. Hopefully he isn't stuck on it to long. Would love to see him go back to a shitty FMV title though (Since his Demolition Man Review is what got me hooked in the first place)

It is pretty good.
Even if you don't care much about it it was least of the games problems and it seems Spoony made it to be a huge deal in the review and now he thinks he needs to rewrite the whole thing.
[insane ravings about how it isn't]
Keep in mind, i don't care either way. That new Chocobo song was pretty entertaining though. Not the right kind of entertaining, but entertaining nonetheless.

Best soundtrack of that year without a doubt. Varied and amazing. I am much more surprised people didn't like it tbh. A breath of fresh air after decades of Uematsu...who I still love.
