"The most you people can hope to do, is die, before everything that you take [[Necron|joy]] and [[Space Marine|comfort]] in, [[Matt Ward|rotten to filth]], leaving a steaming, stinking hole in your soul that never fucking heals." -- Spoonyone, life in a nutshell. (Ultima 9 review (final) 20:55~21:05)

[http://spoonyexperiment.com/ Noah Antwiler, aka the Spoony One.] He is a cynical bastard and a movie/video game/comic reviewer who is known for his hatred for the Final Fantasy series from Final Fantasy VIII onwards and his unfavorable reviews of said games. Though many of his reviews fall under either [[/v/]] or [[/tv/]], he also runs a review series called '''Counter Monkey'''.

[http://countermonkey.com/ Originating as a text-blog in the dark corners of the internet,] [http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/counter-monkey/ in late october of 2011 he began making videos retelling his 2+ decades worth of experience with] [[roleplaying game]]s, [[LARP]]ing and [[board game]]s. His stories tend to be either recountings of games he was in on either side of the player chair (taking on [[Dungeonland]], killing an entire LARP worth of [[Vampire the Masquerade|vampires]] because they ticked him off and the finer nuances of playing a [[Bard]] to being kicked out of the [[RPGA]] for killing players and having a guy in [[Thieves' World]] be royally fucked up) or advice and talks about games and settings he really likes likes [[Shadowrun]], [[Cyberpunk 2020]], [[Planescape]] and the fine art of [[DM]]ing with how to guide your players without railroading and punishing stupid behavior. Spoony is a harsh but fair DM who is willing to give his players some leeway but will not hesitate to [[TPK]] a group of dumbasses or people who riff on his campaigns.

But do note that he cannot help but ramble: [[Wat|he once went on for 3 hours straight about only a couple of subjects]] and took over an hour to tell an anecdote how he killed a number of [[Star Wars|Sith]] in [[Star Wars RPG]]. As such most of his videos are not quick watches: you'd be served best by taking at least 1-2 hours off for a video of his.  And there are some completely legit criticisms to be had about his extremely-narrow idea of  how games should work.  At the very least, [[Old School Roleplaying|his nostalgia goggles are clamped on so fucking tight that they sometimes impede the flow of blood to his brain]], and he can't get past the idea that [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons|Second Edition]]-style ''D&D'' was an immaculate masterpiece and nothing about it will ever need fixing, changing, or updating ever. 3d6, down the line, ''no backsies''.  If you disagree, you're obviously a whiny, pampered crybaby whose opinion isn't worth shit.

Now get off his lawn.
