Naw, Doug really is a dick. At least he's a crappy boss, anyway. He was in the call where Lupa got fired for not replying them after fifteen minutes (After she told them she wouldn't be at the computer, no less)

Doug..is a bad writer. Look at Demo Reel, his magnum opus. He thought he was popular for being Doug Walker, but it was really NC. If he could get rid of everyone and just have it be the Doug Walker Channel, he would.

If he could get rid of everyone and just have it be the Doug Walker Channel, he would.

Up until about last August I thought it was.

Haha, yeah. Naming it after himself was pretty...self explanatory. A big chunk of his views come from Snob, though. I think the reason he favors him is because he lives in Illinois (At least I think so, I know they live in some Springfield and it's not MA)

[houtarouh]

It's one of the reasons why left CA in favor of YouTubers like Markiplier, RetroBlasting and Evan MacIsaac. They're at least enjoyable than Doug nowadays.

I haven't seen Cinemassacre's work as of late, so I don't know how well James Rolfe is holding up now.

[(Anonymous)]

iirc, Rolfe's done some new AVGN since the movie (which imho wasn't that good, but I applaud him for the effort he put into it none the less), but most of the stuff I've seen has been him doing stuff as himself with Mike Mattei. I've heard rumors about stuff going on outside of Cinemassacre, but anything related to his family (especially his daughter) IMHO should be off-limits to speculation.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah in the stuff he did more as 'himself' he sort of came across as a dick, maybe in that sort of innocent way that internet ego fuel will exacerbate. I couldn't stand anything he did with his brother because they both came across as pretty annoying.

[(Anonymous)]

God, as annoying as Doug can be, at least he's never reached Rob's level of Pretentious Douche-lord while the cameras were running.

[(Anonymous)]

Welllll, I wouldn't say that...

Yeah I remember at least one video where he outright called the viewers idiots. It made Doug's running gag/whine about being corrected look reasonable.

[i_paint_the_sky]

I actually tend to like the reviews he does as himself more than the NC stuff. He's a very good reviewer.

That said, the CA site definitely seems to be in decline and I barely recognize any of the contributors these days. Though I do adore Shark Jumping, it is very fun!

[(Anonymous)]

I think the days of the Nostalgia Critic-esque internet reviewing is pretty much done. It was a novelty to start, but once more and more people started aping NC and AVGN -the caustic, 'I hate everything/accentuate the negative'-style of reviewing- without any understanding as to why they became popular in the first place, the entire "genre" became over saturated and now the majority of folks don't care all that much anymore.

I do think a lot of the drama with CA is also a factor.

tbh, while he's not my favorite, at least Linkara seems to be the only one on an even keel over there (or he tries hard to be as neutral as he can in matters of drama), or at least, not entirely full of himself that he's oblivious to everything else going on.

[morieris]

Linkara seems to be the only one on an even keel over there

He (and I just realized Chris Stuckmann is on there too so him too I guess) are really the only reasons I keep visiting the site...i'm not on pins and needles waiting for NC stuff anymore, though I do hope to see a review of The Vampire's Assistant.

[anarchicq]

Only person I care about anymore is Leon Thomas. I'm as surprised as you are.

[(Anonymous)]

I like Mike J. His infomercial stuff is pretty fun and he seems to stay mostly out of the drama - though that might be because he doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do with anyone else in general on CA/other reviewers in general.
