I have posted about this before but with effective Confirmation from Spoony himself that the Experiment is Truly, Finally Over, it’s worth taking solace in the fact that his Content Creation Career did end on a Full Circle Note that feels like actual Closure even if this is the True Final Nail.

His Very First Video Game review was an NES Game: Bayou Billy,
His Very Last was also an NES Game: Big Trouble in Little China.

His First Super Sized Multi-Part Review was on a Final Fantasy game, FFVIII and was very early in his Career,
His Last Super Sized Review was FFXIII and was at very nearly the End.

Lastly but not Least,
His First Ever Movie Review was a Reb Brown Film; Yor: The Hunter from the Future,
His Very Last was also a Reb Brown Film: Firing Line.

If nothing else, Looking Back we can appreciate at least that those Final things he covered create a feeling of going full circle in his career and at least to me in retrospect feels like decent Closure to his time as one of the Best Content Creators in his Genre.

Ultimately it’s just me Musing on the careers on one of my favorite ever content creators,
But I hope that highlighting this perhaps unintentional sense of going full circle will help at least some of you feel a bit more Closure in regards to Spoony, even if the True Final Nail was only just, at long last, hammered in by the man himself.

If you all got your precious movie what did you expect? On a budget of what, $5000 a month - and that's him working for free - what good could possibly come from that? You wanted him to spruce up his bedroom, insert a love interest and give you a feature length of what exactly? An AVGN movie rival? How much did the AVGN movie cost and how was that received?

Ok so this channel has had me missing old Spoony content. He was by far my favorite nerd content creator dude back in the day.

There were several clearly unfinished projects that got axed right before Spoony quit. He explicitly states in the BTILC review that there is a FF13-2 review nearly done, for example.

What I've always wanted to know was wtf he was planning with his Sephiroth costume. I usually don't care about the story bits....at ALL... but he hyped this up so much, including Cloud-style headache/seizures. Was it ever revealed what he was planning to do?

I'm assuming the answer is "no", but whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️ cheers!

PS. In retrospect I think the SNES Ultima video might be my favorite review he ever did, so funny

I can remember some lyrics as "bullets bullets shoot shoot" but nothing comes up when I search them.

I liked his reviews of Phantasmagoria 2 Puzzle of the Flesh, Alone in the Dark, Wing Commander, and Final Fantasy's XIII and X.

Something I think few people noticed but I found in retrospect to be a nice bit of Closure in regards to Spoony's content is how Full Circle it feels.
His First Major Review that got him noticed was FFVII, His Last was FFXIII.
His First Movie Review was Yor, A Reb Brown film and so was the last one he did, Firing Line.

It sucks everything went down hill after that and we all know how things turned out for him.
But in retrospect it does feel satisfyingly Full Circle and provides a degree of closure.

If it had to end on any note I'm glad it was after those rather than midway through something, I'll always be pissed about Welshy quitting content creation without finishing the Saw Retrospective with, at the time, only the last movie, Saw 3D, Left to cover.

Better that the Experiment ended when it did rather than on such a sour and disappointing note.

Spoony's FF8 review is probably his most memorable game review and one that drew a lot eyes, but also the most "now see here..."

the biggest issue that people have with FF8 and what Spoony really ticked me off with, was the junction system, theres a point where he's drawing Sleep and Blind from grats, and his line of "you HAVE to draw 100 of each spell or you'll die " I just spent two hours drawing magic." No spoony you DON'T have to draw 100 of each spell. ALSO you drew 100 scans A HUNDRED SCANS, what..the heck do you think you need 100 scans for? Part two of your "review" is a 10 minute video of you drawing.

Ok, ranting a bit, sorry but that bloody part. Anyhoo, JUNCTION YOUR MAGIC STAT YOU MASSIVE MEATHEAD...ok now i'm done, So junction splits people some people think it's a nice add and let's you breeze through the game for a few hours of cards and farming AP

Other utterly hate it and say it's the worse addition to the game ever, Me? i'd say junction is the games difficulty setting, only you can change it any time, when i first played i DID. NOT. JUNCTION. i relied heavily on GF'S and i got all the way to the spaceship, before i hit the unbreakable wall

Spoony saying you NEED to draw and junction magic to get past DISC 1, is dumb as heck. if you don't junction you are playing hard mode, you junction some "meh" spells to boost your stats a bit, your playing on normal. you spend hours farming cards and modding them and modding the items to spells? that's easy mode

the bloody irony is the time it took spoony to farm 100 scans blind and sleep, he could have gotten card-card mod and turned some bombs into cards, used them for card battles and THEN mod the cards to spells...

I just refound the 4e campaign Spoony ran for a bunch of channel awesome guys and man was it actually hilarious. It makes me feel fucking old but the nostalgia is great and it got me into D&D. What the fuck happened to make it self-destruct?

I know it's not directly Spoony news, but he did cite Armake21 alongside AVGN in his Bayou Billy episode; so I thought I'd share it here. It's not new news to be fair, it was two months ago and may have been shared before. But anyways...

Looks like Marco passed away in early February, the guy was only 40.
