Okay I've discovered a scary thing about myself: I can't feel revved up to write a review unless it's got at least one thing that's got me all riled up so, with that in mind, The Yogscast.
Now the Yogscast have been parading around the streets of YouTube for a while now and I think it's time someone challenged their status now even if it's just some twat with a keyboard on Blogger. Regardless I used to be quite into Yogscast, I mean, until they started bullshitting me. I presume my experience with the Yogscast was similar to everyone else's: "um why are they so popular for animating with an etch-a-sketch? Oh, it's Minecraft? Oh these guys are incandescently fucking whore-some! "But" the people cry "You said you couldn't write unless there was a stream of piss emanating from your mouth at all times" and to that I reply 'only use fucking quote marks unless it's a FUCKING QUOTE! and wait, 'cause here's the malevolence.
So after they fronted a stream of successful Minecraft videos they built a large fanbase who wouldn't move even if there was a fucking nuke under their seats and recruited a slew of interesting and ne-ahahaha I'm only kidding. My first warning blazer went off when after the survival island series they introduced two new characters who were here to stay, okay thinks I it can't be too bad. Flash forward to now and we've been dropped into the sink of shit and are circling the drainpipe. see what worked well with the Yogscast was that it was very tight and Simon and Lewis (the two main founders of the Yogscast) did compliment each other so the video's worked well. but now they've got too many people to know what to do with and seem to have cut the whole Minecraft show! not the shadow of Israphel, god no, but everything else and the most interesting prospect on the Minecraft front is to watch all the NEEDLESS support characters swagger about while Simon and Lewis go along with it! but what annoys me most is that now they've finished with minecraft they're going on to first person shooters and new releases on steam which would work fine in a jack-of-all-trades channel like say, SSoHPKC or something but not with the Yogscast, since what made them good was Minecraft but they've forgotten it.
Congrats guys you're almost real celebrities, becoming famous on X Factor then claiming it was you're own talents which sailed you to the top.
