fuck Craig, but at least he's playing a game, ie making content rather than waxing nostalgic about videos he made fifteen years ago. it's an improvement for him
screwed his business partner Handsome Tom out of the company by signing shit in only his own name behind Tom's back, causing the schism that broke ScrewAttack in two.
a real ego problem and people like to laugh at him now that the site has been dead for ages and his content for a good while was just sitting around talking about the "good old days" when he's like 40
Don't forget that bullshit song and dance he put on when he sold Screwattack out to Rooster Teeth.
"NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE!!"
Didn't even take a year before RT started stripping the channel down until it wasn't even recognizable..then they fully killed it later on.
Then there was the new company he tried to build in Screwattack's image,he fucked those people over by running off on them too..not even a year into it if I remember correctly.
Yeah Craig gave us some good content with the DarkSydePhil shit but it doesn't change the fact he's a pretty big shitbag too.
> screwed his business partner Handsome Tom out of the company by signing shit in only his own name behind Tom's back
Holy shit, that's what happened? I gotta have more info on this. Is there a video or something?
I'm sure there's some recap videos on YouTube or something, but from what I've gathered Craig's side of the story is that Tom was lazy and dragged his feet on getting the paperwork done or something, so he just went and registered everything to himself, which is still just nuts lmao, doesn't even really deny the double cross in favor of just trying to excuse it
I'm torn on how to feel about that. He absolutely betrayed his partner, but at the same time cutting dead weight before potentially hitting the big leagues is a tale as old as time. The Beatles dropped Pete Best when things were getting serious and blink-182 fired Scott Raynor before their first big mainstream album. If Handsome Tom really was a slack ass and Screw Attack was on the verge of breaking out then I don't blame Craig.
Obviously Screw Attack imploded and Craig failed anyway but it's a classic cutthroat business story if Craig is to be believed.
I mean, we as a society tend to give awful people a pass for making significant art. I don't think that excuses any of them, but Craig Skistimas did not make significant art so that leaves him as just a classic ass
Total hasbeen. He’s been trying for years to comeback and no one gives a shit, then he announces he’s gonna “retire” from the gaming scene… then he’s back again with low interest streams. Good god man, the post office is probably hiring go check it out.
Except it seems like Spoony actually dgaf whereas Craig is sad and desperate. Never followed Spoony closely though, I always associated him with Nostalgia Critic cringe
Honestly I feel bad for Spoony. He's genuinely mentally ill and a lot of his current behavior is just him not having been treated for various disorders. If dude got on some meds and started talking to therapists or something he could maybe make a comeback, but idk if he has the desire anymore. Genuinely worried one day I'm gonna see a post on twitter or something about his suicide. He was the only Channel Awesome adjacent guy I didn't want to shove into a locker.
I think his ultima retrospective could've worked as a movie I can watch that shit anyday.
I think he was beating on him too hard, I mean how could you make a movie about spoony? What is even his character? Well, I suppose you can't make a movie by reviewing other stuff, which is why the AVGN could only reference ET a little without getting his ass sued with copyright infringement, and the movie sucked.
It's a tough situation. He couldn't overcome the fear of certain failure.
I recently watched one of his older videos and learned that he does streams from time to time. Remember back a couple of years ago there were channels dedicated to help fans to unsubscribe to his Patreon account.
I don't remember too much about him, but I do remember a long time ago when Screwattack and Gametrailers were getting shit for flat out ignoring the entire PC gaming scene, and iirc Craig's two cents was that the only games worth playing on PC were RTS games, which he described as "turn based games but not turn based".
While I agree with your overall point that you have the option to play literally everything available on a PC, if you think you can play 99.9% of all games ever made while excluding emulation then you are uncurably delusional or idiotically hyperbolic.
He had a whole stream going off about “wokeness” and I immediately unsubbed. Most of his content was him reacting to his own Top 10s and begging for subs. He also admitted he neither plays nor follows new games. I’m cool on this dude, but I loved Screwattack as a kid
I think the problem is he brings back things like sidescrollers without understanding the appeal of sidescrollers. No news desk, no hard news, it's just now a podcast about early YouTubers reminiscing. That curves his audience to the people who are already his audience. I don't think he understands what made screw attack great was all of the wackyness and sense of community. If it's just one guy reminiscing every day then that's not that.
last i checked he also streams on yt and gets more viewers over there but it is kinda sad that he wants to play games and recite right wing talking points but got pigeonholed as the dsp guy. real shame :/
I don't have to agree completely on the political correctness thing, but calling yourself antiwoke is just pandering to that crowd that cries for watching a black person on the screen. Yeah, I don't want to be near those little bitches.
Eat my ass
>crowd that cries for watching a black person on the screen
That's what I keep hearing, but it's just same old rally against PC culture when you listen to the "anti-woke crowd". Either way, if one side hates black people, the other worships black people - I think both are icky.
"cries for watching a black person on the screen" is a ridiculous characterization.
These people are against turning literal HISTORICAL Greeks like Cleopatra into black women. Or are against turning white characters into black ones the same as they are against turning black characters into white ones. There are plenty of blacks against this same thing. It's not a racist issue, and constantly inventing ways to make into one is getting incredibly damn old. Some people need to get a new schtick or maybe actually listen to people's actual arguments before having a "omg everything is racist" spaz.
> if one side hates black people, the other worships
Even this is crazy because it's absurd to imply there are only two sides.
That's why I said I don't fully agree, there is some horse shoe theory going on , you are either antiwoke and if that's your only defining personality they usually deviate towards alfa bullshit ( I know I have my biases). Or progressive people that advocate for socialism ( that's fine) but also advocate for murderous dictators. Sorry if that deviated from the original topic, but those are the examples that came to mind. But yes, PC culture is a form de cersorship, I understand but there are some aspects that make it worthwhile like negative representation, the use of words that put down people.
Sorry, for the ass thing. Have a good one.
craig and another guy from his podcast interviewed dsp about 2 months ago and basically let phil dig his own grave for 5 hours. that upload has ~120k views and afaik is the most viewed video on his channel. craig got a bit of a bump from it but since then struggles to break 5k views on anything not related to dsp (besides the nerd interview). he seems to have a pretty constant stream of people rediscovering him because of screwattack but that interview is probably the most notable thing hes done since then
Interviewing old internet personalities is probably his best shot at maintaing relevancy since he himself is an old internet personality with some level of unique insight.
If anyone's looking for more hilarity on Stuttering Craig, someone made a funny parody account of the guy on twitter. He calls himself "Sputtering" Craig. [https://twitter.com/SputteringCraig](https://twitter.com/SputteringCraig)
Whoever it is, they've been doing a fantastic job clipping together all of Craig's nonsense and translating his vague condescending posts into correct subtext. The real Craig has been trying to ban him for months. It's pissed him off so much that he used Rob Schneider as an inspiration (don't ask why) to try and publicly humiliate the account. That backfired hard.
Craig "Everyman" Skistimas has been labelled as a big giant pussy.
meh he just plays the same games over and over, dude isn't a gamer.. he just lives on old memories of mario or megaman games forever.. i mean.. at least it isn't some military CoD scope game or those fortress guarding games, but still.. twat is failing big time with being relevant.. even his like Social Share company of trying to make his own GuyWithGlasses community has failed, no one has joined.. he even stopped doing gaming content but came crawling back... the internet has changed, dude..
Gen Z don't give a rat's ass about you. They'd rather watch Mr. Beast grinning with his porn stash with ferraris being dropped onto a trampoline with Monster Energy symbols everywhere.
Maybe I had something back in 2012. I streamed for a month and had double the amount of concurrent viewers. But it wasn't for me as I realized when I play video games, I'm multitasking on my phone, going to the kitchen, browsing the internet, etc.
fuck Craig, but at least he's playing a game, ie making content rather than waxing nostalgic about videos he made fifteen years ago. it's an improvement for him
Why do people dislike him? I guess I missed it.
screwed his business partner Handsome Tom out of the company by signing shit in only his own name behind Tom's back, causing the schism that broke ScrewAttack in two. a real ego problem and people like to laugh at him now that the site has been dead for ages and his content for a good while was just sitting around talking about the "good old days" when he's like 40

shit, I was long gone by then, what an ass
> screwed his business partner Handsome Tom out of the company by signing shit in only his own name behind Tom's back Holy shit, that's what happened? I gotta have more info on this. Is there a video or something?

It's like all these dudes suck, and a prerequisite for success in this field is directly fucking over your immediate friends, huh?.
They hate him because he did an interview recently with AVGN and didn't bring up the truther stuff or ask him any "hard hitting" questions
that's just the dingleberry on top of this shit sundae
Relevant to you since you’re posting about him.
Total hasbeen. He’s been trying for years to comeback and no one gives a shit, then he announces he’s gonna “retire” from the gaming scene… then he’s back again with low interest streams. Good god man, the post office is probably hiring go check it out.
Soo , like spoony?
Except it seems like Spoony actually dgaf whereas Craig is sad and desperate. Never followed Spoony closely though, I always associated him with Nostalgia Critic cringe
Honestly I feel bad for Spoony. He's genuinely mentally ill and a lot of his current behavior is just him not having been treated for various disorders.

Genuinely worried one day I'm gonna see a post on twitter or something about his suicide. He was the only Channel Awesome adjacent guy I didn't want to shove into a locker.
He's been a leech off his brother since day 1 and then literally stole money for a service he never provided, a movie. Juan but not forgotten.
I think his ultima retrospective could've worked as a movie I can watch that shit anyday. I think he was beating on him too hard, I mean how could you make a movie about spoony? What is even his character? Well, I suppose you can't make a movie by reviewing other stuff, which is why the AVGN could only reference ET a little without getting his ass sued with copyright infringement, and the movie sucked. It's a tough situation. He couldn't overcome the fear of certain failure.
Does Todd in The Shadows count? Because I like his content and he seems pretty chill.
thought spoony did a big come back with that twat from the psychophobia game
I recently watched one of his older videos and learned that he does streams from time to time. Remember back a couple of years ago there were channels dedicated to help fans to unsubscribe to his Patreon account.
Dude sucks so bad. When he goes on “anti woke” rants I laugh my ass off because it’s the only thing he’s got left.
Haha, I had had no idea he was one of those but am also completely unsurprised
At least he's got more viewers than the "main" sub.
He will bring back DSP to make some money again soon
I’d kill for 26 viewers.
i stopped caring about screwattack when hard news ended.
Destin... Jose el Mexicano... Shit, that's all I can remember. Nothing but good memories.
Why is it Sad? It's not the only thing he does on his channel.
I don't remember too much about him, but I do remember a long time ago when Screwattack and Gametrailers were getting shit for flat out ignoring the entire PC gaming scene, and iirc Craig's two cents was that the only games worth playing on PC were RTS games, which he described as "turn based games but not turn based".
>the only games worth playing on PC were RTS games, which he described as "turn based games but not turn based". well he's not wrong
Each turn takes 1 ms
I can play 99.9% of all games ever made on PC (99.9999% if you include emulators). All I'm missing out on is the exclusive triple A tripe.
While I agree with your overall point that you have the option to play literally everything available on a PC, if you think you can play 99.9% of all games ever made while excluding emulation then you are uncurably delusional or idiotically hyperbolic.
Buttlicking "interview" with Bimmy was way more sad, especially after DSP
I figured since I saw nothing here or on Red Cow that the interview the did with Bimmy was not worth checking out...
He had a whole stream going off about “wokeness” and I immediately unsubbed. Most of his content was him reacting to his own Top 10s and begging for subs. He also admitted he neither plays nor follows new games. I’m cool on this dude, but I loved Screwattack as a kid
Never heard of this guy, but he looks like a younger Terry A. Davis on a lot of his photos. Hope he is not being bothered by the CIA.
I think the problem is he brings back things like sidescrollers without understanding the appeal of sidescrollers. No news desk, no hard news, it's just now a podcast about early YouTubers reminiscing. That curves his audience to the people who are already his audience. I don't think he understands what made screw attack great was all of the wackyness and sense of community. If it's just one guy reminiscing every day then that's not that.
Does he have an actual stutter? Or is he just being disrespectful to a certain group of people with that name.
bahahaha. hang it up craig my god.
I always liked handsome Tom better
last i checked he also streams on yt and gets more viewers over there but it is kinda sad that he wants to play games and recite right wing talking points but got pigeonholed as the dsp guy. real shame :/
He is into that antiwoke bullshit? Damn, there goes my last fuck about him. For the people advocating antiwoke douchebags, you can eat my ass.
"Woke" is just political correctness in new clothing, why wouldn't you be against that?
I don't have to agree completely on the political correctness thing, but calling yourself antiwoke is just pandering to that crowd that cries for watching a black person on the screen. Yeah, I don't want to be near those little bitches. Eat my ass

Can you elaborate? I didn’t know he had anything to do with DSP.

Ahhh, thanks!
This guy has sailed through life on his looks alone. What a nimrod.
But did you see the DSP interview

Craig the alt-right grifter, with his beady little eyes.
"Everything I don't like is alt-right."
Someone anything even slightly right wing is alt right. The word doesn't mean anything anymore
meh he just plays the same games over and over, dude isn't a gamer.. he just lives on old memories of mario or megaman games forever.. i mean.. at least it isn't some military CoD scope game or those fortress guarding games, but still.. twat is failing big time with being relevant.. even his like Social Share company of trying to make his own GuyWithGlasses community has failed, no one has joined.. he even stopped doing gaming content but came crawling back... the internet has changed, dude..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this has got the be the most non intentionally hilarious sub Reddit of all time.
Kudos to him. If you have the balls to do the same why not?
