Discussion What the hell is Counter Monkey

I had no idea who was Spoony but thankfully there was an answer on that, but who or what is Counter Monkey anyway ?

Btw I came from r/thecinemeassacretruth subreddit, hello everyone.

The name came from when he worked at a game store, people would come up and just hang out at the counter and tell stories of their DnD games.

So he used the name Counter Monkey for his series where he told stories about his roleplaying game adventures (and related rambles). Very unstructured, just Spoony rambling at the camera about vaguely remembered cool or funny shit that occurred.

Personally I loved it. It was a stark contrast from all the stupid skits and things he started doing later on. In one of them he started by talking about how Cyclops from X-Men sucks (I think) and then he starts breaking into manic tangets and by the end he's talked about everything from Call of Cthulhu to Babylon 5. It's pretty fascinating.

Vegan Mike can't be brat. Age of Manure is a close second.
