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.
Originating as a text-blog in the dark corners of the internet, in late october of 2011 he began making videos retelling his 2+ decades worth of experience with roleplaying games, LARPing and board games. 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 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 DMing 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: 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 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.
Still, he's got some interesting things to tell to both newcomers and veterans alike so 1d4chan strongly advices for you to watch his videos, if only to learn how to not be That Guy.
