A TGWTG-themed Cards Against Humanity expansion now exists digitally on a semi-popular web version, Pretend You're Xyzzy. I organized the entire thing with the help of Nash and Linkara, and there were so many card ideas submitted that even with more than half of the submitted ideas removed the expansion still ended up being 338 cards total.
Keep in mind, though, that this is an expansion based on the entire site, so there's the chance that some of you might not get where every card comes from.
So whats everyone's thoughts on NC's Cat in the Hat review? Personally i thought it was funny but i wish he had spent more time reviewing the actually movie instead of going over and over the same stuff with the producer, and the end result felt like he rushed the last 40 minutes or so.

My sentiment toward him doesn't change much over time.
That doesn't actually have the expansion cards in it, though. The Megatream where those were played was how I found the site and got both the TGWTG expansion and another expansion for YouTube LPer "Northernlion" on there.
That a great idea.....but he needs to do it for the old one, the 2003 one then the 2013 one so....
Anyway after watching NC review the anniversary movies i thought it was pretty good. Kickassia i think could be my favourite of the 3 anniversary reviews.

So Old vs. Newish vs. New? Never watched the 03 one, but the 2013 TMNT is pretty awesome.
The 2003 Turtles was actually pretty great. If you want a good vs series for the old one and the 2003 one can i suggest Old TMNT vs New TMNT, Its a great series of videos which places the seasons, animation, characters etc and sees which series is best and its quite a good one.
Btw i do agree even though i seen about 4 episodes but the 2013 series is pretty good as well and reminds me a little of Teen Titans when it uses some anime elements.
They were definitely mentioned in Phelan's Turtles Forever review, because, well, they were in that. I've kind of lost interest in Doug himself after a while. His characters have grown stale. The only thing from him that I somewhat find interesting, are his straight reviews. I prefer people to be themselves. People grow, people change, people don't always follow their own intuition. It's much harder and unlikely to do this when trying to portray a character as their values and ideas become more like rules than inclinations.
I guess now that I'm aware of this thread, I might as well say it. While I still like the Nostalgia Critic, those non-review parts are getting kind of annoying. In fact, it's what slowly put me off Atop the Fourth Wall (though I might watch it again at some point).
I guess i'll give my thoughts on the non-review parts. First let me say i still do watch Linkara's atop the forth wall but i usually just skip to the review because i find the non review parts boring. As for NC, i found it funny in Son of the Mask and Catwoman but in The Cat in The Hat I was just bored by then. He rushes like the last half of the movie just so he can keep going over the same stuff he already said to the director and it just got very annoying when he took the focus off the movie and onto the non review parts.
NC does not even review the movie in order in the second half. He gets to the part about when they are running in the town with the dog then he cuts back to an scene that was earlier in the movie. I just felt that NC took way to much focus off the review.
The Critic isn't just about criticism. There's more to his character than just pointing out flaws and being angry at movies. I like videos that have a little bit of character to them. That's what kept me invested in AT4W.
The Pre-Demo Reel NC started to get predictable and tiresome after a while, which is why Doug decided to take the hiatus in the first place. Go on screen, introduce movie, bitch and moan and crack jokes for about twenty minutes, end review, rinse and repeat. The reason I like the new reviews because they give him a chance to mix up the humor a little bit.
On the other hand, I do enjoy the editorials. His insight into how movies and TV work is always interesting. However, it's not just him constantly being angry.
Don't get me wrong, i don't think the non review parts are awful but i do feel he needs to balance them. Because personally i thought he lost focus on The Cat in the Hat review too much just to go over the same thing over and over again. Which then made the review itself pay because the second half of the movie was rushed and even out of order in parts.
EDIT 2 - Wait, he just rage-quits before the game's finished? He's actually done with it? Weak.
Hmm.
Don’t worry, folks, I will review XIII-2, and naturally, I can’t address the events of that game without covering the endgame of XIII. Don’t worry that the “ragequit” ending was the end of FF13. Basically I was trying to illustrate that THAT was the exact point where I quit the game in real life.
Not 100% cool with that, but it's better than nothing. I guess.
Rage quitting on FFXIII? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! FFS, the only Final Fantasy games I rage-quitted were X and XII, and X I went back to and finished. XIII wasn't exactly a challenge.
Also, I was ready to go hunt down a Nostalgia Critic when I saw his latest review was of Jurassic Park. Luckily it was one of his "I love this movie, but I'm going to point out some of the goofy shit they did in it" reviews, though he did tease that he'll be getting to the big stinker of the JP franchise.
Well, he HAS already done The Lost World, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before he tackled another from the franchise. MikeJ's already done JP3, but it'll be interesting to see the Critic's take on it.

I cannot breathe. It's too funny.:eek:

Took him long enough. Now he needs to do an Old vs. New on the TMNT cartoons.

The only TMNT that matters.

EDIT - The Insano sketch went on a fraction too long, but was still funny as hell.
EDIT 2 - Wait, he just rage-quits before the game's finished? He's actually done with it? Weak.
Well all of his FF reviews used footage from Sean. Because it would take way too long for him to play it himself and then watch the footage again.
