As such, I am a big fan of Bob "Moviebob" Chipmans 'The Game Overthinker' series. Gaming commentary with a narrative framework that can be charitably described as low budget. Its creative as hell and really fun! But he's not my only Internet video secret crush.
I may have mentioned once... Or twice... Or a dozen times... Whatever, it's come up. I may have mentioned that I am a BIG fan of the guys at www.loadingreadyrun.com because they have been producing quality web video content for more than a decade now (among their many MANY projects). Everything they do is pretty much golden!
Then there's ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.
I like The Nostalgia Critic, and I think the site is very well done, with a team of reviewers and an interlocking continuity of fiction that frames all their reviews. It's all entertaining and fun, especially when they do their annual "specials" like 'Kickassia' or 'To Boldy Flee'. But my favorite part of the site HAS to be Lewis 'Linkara' Lovehog (forgive me if I'm spelling his name wrong, it's late and I'm doing this from my phone). My start with ThatGuyWithTheGlasses was with Linkara's 'History of Power Rangers'videos.
Brief aside: Linkara is a MASSIVE fan of all forms of The Power Rangers, and his History of Power Rangers videos are an EXHAUSTIVE history of every season of the show. It's an absolutely astonishing level of detail and it is deservedly popular.
Anyway, I got into 'TGWTG' because of Linkara's 'HoPR' videos, but I've been slowly drawn in by everything else. I'll admit that beyond Linkara and The Nostalgia Critic I haven't watched much of the stuff on the site, but it's all definately on my list. That's not why I brought them up, though. I mention Linkara (and his continuity driven fictional framework) to tell you about his OTHER show on TGWTG. Atop The Fourth Wall.
Atop The Fourth Wall (Where bad comics burn!) is a review show for bad comic books. And it's also where most of the fictional framework takes place (at least for Linkara). It's entertaining, often hilarious, occasionally moving, and just downright well put together! I can't really recommend it enough, especially if you (like me) are a fan of Comics but don't really have the time of finances to read them regularly anymore.
Anyway. I brought all THAT up to beg for something that I would REALLY love to see happen.
Moviebob? Linkara? Listen up for a second. Both of you are great amateur filmmakers. Both of you do review and commentary shows as an outlet for your (very entertaining) respective fictions. Also, in BOTH of your narratives, you have introduced the concept of a Multiverse and Dimension Hopping. Do you see where I am going with this?
Let's get a CRAZY AWESOME TAG TEAM SUPERSTAR TEAMUP thing happening! I'm talking a crossover! I would LOVE to see The Game Overthinker and Ivan (the fairy intern) show up in Linkaras world just in time to help defeat Dr Insano. Or have Comicron One (Linkara's spaceship) pop over to the Overthinker-verse to do battle with The Anti-Thinker. Wouldn't it be AWESOME!?
I think it would be.
Anyway, goodnight, lovelies!
