For the SpoonyOne and other reviewers..

We as fans tend to disregard the personal lives of the reviewers we watch, in some cases I see fans posting comments like the reviewers owed them. That is not the case, we owe reviewers a great deal. I'm both a fan and a reviewer myself, so if I can admit that...can't you?

Look, I'm far from the best of reviewers out there. In fact, I wouldn't even be a reviewer at all if it were for excellent reviewers such as:
Spoony, Angry Joe, The Angry Video Game Nerd, the Nostalgia Critic, Linkara, even people like Guru Larry.

They inspired me to go out on my own, do my own reviews. Even with the poor editing I did on my first review vid on the demolition man movie...it still cracks me up. At the very least, if you can crack yourself up with your own stuff...then you must be doing something right. I do my reviews technically for me, other reviewers aren't reviewing something I'd want them to...so I do it myself.

That's a very important lesson we as fans need to learn, if a reviewer doesn't do something you like justice or even review it at all...then do it yourself. Give your fave z-list monster movie the attention you feel it deserves, or show other people why you think a game you like is good.

Another thing we as fans forget, is that sometimes we pressure reviewers into doing vids at a pace they just aren't accustom too. They'll often give every last ounce of themselves to meet deadlines they set, and most of the time I see people complaining that reviewers aren't going fast enough. I feel it's wrong to forget the personal lives of the people we're watching, they may have jobs...could be sick...or they could be going to 3 cons doing shows and panels for each of them on top of 4 or more review vids for their site.

Remember, some of the reviewers out there are doing this for us fans. Showing us what movies to probably stay away from and why, what games live up to the hype and which ones don't. I don't really remember seeing comments often about where a fan thanks the reviewer for the vids they put out. 

I personally thank the reviewers for all the hard work they do, fans from anime to LP vids to video games should be more grateful for the work you've done and continue to do.

so once again...Thank You

Comic Inque: Dark Avengers #1





Mad Mab reviews Dark Avengers #1, is it any good? is it bad? will we find out who shot mister burns? All will be revealed...except maybe the last one.



*Also you'll have to forgive the late upload, my roommates and I had router problems yesterday. Thus I was unable to upload it on time.
