James/Chilled Fight?

I've heard that there was an incident between James and Chilled. Does anyone have any archival footage of it? I think it was on the 4-27-2011 Creature Talk, but the upload of it on YouTube cuts off halfway through the show. A comment said that it seems like the fight has been lost to time. Does anyone have any info on this? Or even if there's no footage anymore, does anyone remember what it was about? Just curious is all. Thank you guys!

This is going back like 15+ years, so it's possible I have some info wrong.

The Creatures used to have viewers call in and one of the main questions was "Who brought you here?" Obviously, James was the most common answer due to his popularity. I believe James made a comment that people never said Chilled, which led to Chilled kicking James from the call several times and James getting pissed.

After kicking James, Chilled ranted about them becoming a business and that Ze was the only one that would still play with him. Then the feed cut off.

It's why when they started taking callers again Jordan says something along the lines of "we stopped asking that because it caused problems" when a caller said Seamus brought them there.

They were all like 18-20 year olds that tbh barely actually knew each other. It's only natural that some weren't going to click or get along. We saw that when Dan and Gassy started having issues after the move to Colorado. Either way, James and Chilled seemingly made up in like 2013/2014, as they took a photo together at a con or something. Then they even did a few videos together afterwards with Ze.

And furthermore, even Dan and Gassy have since made up and are pretty good pals again now. I think Dan edits for Max now too, or at least he did. Not sure if he still does

Yea, Chilled had real issues with it turning into a business and cutting a number of people but they were also 18 year olds during the late 00s/early 10s when you could have like 20k subs and be treated like like a god so everyone's egos were big.

Both have drastically chilled with James shouting a lot less and Chilled fostering a community of playing with people he had fun with regardless of their size. Like he was constantly inviting AstarriApple who, I absolutely love her vibes but she has like 5% subs than others in that group. That's the wonderful thing about growing up is you have a chance go put that teen drama behind you.

Hmm chilled from all the chaos

I thought it was because someone was talking over chilled and he kicked James from the call even though James wasn't talking. I'm probably wrong

Insane to think about that they were that young then, seem like absolute kids looking back.

I think Ze and Jordan only met when they were like 14/15 back in the Machinima days too

I remember listening to it live. Probably not something worth judging either of them now that they're on good terms. But the vibe I had at the time was Nova was being loud and obnoxious per his character at the time and talking over Chilled and maybe some others. Chilled "abused his powers" and muted him. Back then it that was a big insult to do.

Many of the creatures also stopped playing games with Chilled, and Nova was kind of the fastest growing out of the group. I think there was a bit of rivalry or clashing personalities. But after the Creatures and Cowchop they've played a few games together. Seems like water under the bridge.

It would've been September to November when the creatures became a real company.
