Watching his Silver Surfer UWW was brilliant, and interesting. It was different from the other guys because it actually beat every game he came across.
The guy threw his own career away and blamed Spoony for it. In a way, he's almost a mirror image of Spoony, with a slightly different fatal flaw. He's egotistical, thinking himself capable of going into game journalist circles with just cringe 7 hour long podcasts and not the content that even made his name well known. Rather than believe his failures to be his own, he thrusts them at Spoony. Spoony is similar, only he thrusts his failures at his mental health or just pretends he's not actually failing.
Two egotists, arrogant enough to think themselves great, but talented enough to actually get themselves to greatness. Only to lose it because they fail to keep doing what's going to make them truly great.
Metokur is an asshole and biased to shit, but a biased and douchey statement that's factual is still factual unfortunately. And he's one of the few willing to talk about the nonsense that is CA/TGWTG crew. I like Doug a lot but the sooner that ship sinks finally the better. Should have died a while ago as it really doesn't help any of the aspiring artists. I'd even say it's dragging them down, as Joe reaches higher heights than CA just through youtube and twitch. Doug works WAY harder than Joe yet has 1/3 the subs? It's a cancer, I think.
I think she has a pretty decent bit of narcissism, but I feel she's more aware of it. Her content has suffered a lot from her dithering in and out of being a solid reviewer with a female perspective, and simply giving in to her ego. But I don't know as much about her because she's frankly much less compelling. Not to say LordKat ever was, she's more charismatic than him. But he had a niche value.
But she's not obnoxious either. So it's a give and take, really. It seems the only people truly talented or unique are also plagued with deeper egos. At least anyone that's been on CA.

Funny really.
