One Planet, One People, Infinite Possibilities!
It is some time that Lindsay Ellis made a public video. This is a new one. It is about the breakup of the Beatles and other things Yoko Ono was not responsible for (and some things that she was.)
But Lindsay has vanished into some sort of Nebula for quite a time and she’s not planing to come back. So this video is just a teaser. Watch the full 100-minute video on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/lindsayellis-the-ballad-of-john-and-yoko
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Website. A group of critics was assembled. For within these website was bound the strength and the will to critic each content. But they were all of them deceived, for another story was made. Deep in the lore of TGWTG, in the Fires of Mount Blip, the Dark Lords forged a master template, and into this template they poured the outlining of the Nostalgia Critic, his shtick, his malice and his will to do the same over and over again. And so they searched for more critics. But then something happened that the Dark Lords did not anticipate. Because real people go on in life and develop…
In these days the Website was searching for a female counterpart of the Nostalgia Critic, named “Nostalgia Chick”. From 2008 to 2014, while also studying for her MFA, Lindsay Ellis was selected to host The Nostalgia Chick as part of the Channel Awesome production company. She went on to create over 100 videos as part of the series before leaving in 2014. In this time there were quite some developments.
The focus shifted to longer essays. And the style also changed.
But then there was that time when things got rough…
So what will be next?
Axiom’s End is a 2020 science fiction novel by American writer Lindsay Ellis. Set in 2007, the novel is about a U.S. government coverup of contact with extraterrestrial life. It’s part one of a trilogy called “Noumena”.

AXIOM’S END
TRUTH OF THE DIVINE
There are many different grievances that need to be shared, but the following points are what we feel are the most grievous and should be known by the public above all.” With these words, on April 2, 2018, a ball was set in motion that triggered an avalanche and forever changed the structure of Internet reviewers. Not even those who gave their reports on a particular situation in a document bearing the inconspicuous name “Not So Awesome” probably realized what was to come. A community broke up… but did that community still exist before? Or… had it ever existed at all?
At this point, let’s summarize the impressions that led to a decline. Where will the journey go next? What are the reviewers doing? That remains to be seen!
Let’s look at the exact story: What did the infamous document reporting the problems at Channel Awesome say?
There had to be a reaction – and oh, boy there really was one!
Quinton is another reviewer. His area of expertise is former titans of the internet age. He tells the story of Channel Awesome and what happened.
SadPanda tells his view on the affair.
NobleAbsinthe and Extramana are collabing to bring to you a retrospective series on every contributor at Channel Awesome (formerly known as TGWTG). The reviewing community on YouTube owes a lot to guys like Doug Walker and James Rolfe for propelling many of the YouTube “celebrities” we see today. Channel Awesome also serves as decent folklore about the early days of YouTube.
Today’s episode is on Jesu Otaku, one of the few anime producers on Channel Awesome.

Today’s episode revolves around one of the mid level to upper level producers on the site, Bennett the Sage. He reviews anime, really well, and reviews other stuff, decently too…
Here’s what’s going down with Channel Awesome, why the Google Doc was made, and a little bit about what’s happened since.
Sarah Z steps in and analyzes Channel Awesome’s extremely defensive “debunking” of the allegations against them and why it proves absolutely f* all.
In the course of the “Change the Channel” discussion, screenshots were released that revealed personal details of a specific matter. And not much else to say here. This video discusses MarzGurl’s personal knowledge as well as lack of knowledge of the nature of Justin Carmical’s behaviors and what is happening now to the projects she worked on with him and for him. Thank you for your understanding in the matter.
It’s a few weeks since “Change the Channel” started with the publishing of a document. The document itself is a seventy page condemnation of Channel Awesome, and their questionable behaviour and incidents that resulted due to it. Here’s another look at things that went wrong in the situation…
A rift in space and time, indeed… No one would have ever believed what would become of this event. The Reviewers must unite to face the great threat. Failure shouldn’t happen…
What is it, when worlds collide? When Powers beyond our imagination enter our universe? And when a bunch of nerds get out to save the world… or something? Our group of restless heroes will find out… oh yes, they will.
They say you can feel the breath of death in the desert. So why would anyone willingly go into the desert to build an empire there? The Nostalgia Critic wants to do just that and involves his fellow reviewers in the matter. Perhaps the breath of death is also meant metaphorically, because: how often will the reviewers get involved in something like this?
Alliances were formed. Bubbles have formed. But are the sides of the reviewers irreconcilable? When the Nostalgia Critic wants to celebrate the anniversary of his website “TGWTG” this morning, he has no idea that he will soon be involved in a fight of epic proportions….
