Justin was one of the few reviewers I've seen who was consistently entertaining without just raging about things like so many do.

I can't imagine what his wife must be going through.

[TheLastInLine]

This is horrible. I can't and honestly don't want to imagine what his wife must be going through. A loved one commiting suicide is horrible enough as it is, but being right there with him and pleading with him not to do it and then having to witness your spouses death? Jesus, I don't even want to think about that. He really must've been in a dark place. Depression really is an insidious bitch.

I haven't been following his videos for a whole while as I'm not as big a fan of internet reviews as I was like 5 years ago but his videos were some of the more enjoyable. As Jake O. Rhodes already pointed out he was able to make his videos informative and entertaining without him having to resort to being just anothe rage-driven critic (I used to love those kind of reviewers but nowadays I can't stand them) or being too preachy or arrogant. From what the people who knew him said about him he seemed to have been a great character and a cool guy to hang out with. My deepest condolences to his family (especially his wife) and his friends.

I also wanted to share this video which was recorded from one of his live-streams. Watching this makes the whole situation even more depressing.

Doug Walker's tribute is lovely.

Oh wow. Disney bought Maker Studios - the multi-channel YouTube network co-founded by Shay Carl, KassemG, Philip DeFranco and LisaNova - for $500 million. That's the same network that owns Polaris (formerly TheGameStation). That's freaking nuts.

[apsham]

Polaris eh? That's interesting. That's really interesting.

This must explain why Blip's dashboard is not working and uploads are down for the day!

This has led to Blip.tv seemingly being wound down to be replaced by Maker.tv. As a result a few channels have been cut including 6 from TGWTG.

I think most of them have been restored but a lot of people have informed they will be cut. Video uploads will be disabled at the start of July and the channels will be deleted by September.

Including my channel! So I have to back to YouTube.

I know this, Hobo, I've got some Irishman telling me on his podcast right now.

Does that count as a plug for you? Where's my pay cheque?

[Hobo]

Oh, you mean this podcast which is on iTunes?

And is also available on Stitcher?

The difference being that the YouTube Channel didn't have any public videos last week!

[Hobo]

Just a little snippet of something new coming very soon.

A World Cup Special!

The Unemployed Historian did not get picked up by Channel Awesome.

SF Debris did. Which seems like a weird sideways move for him.

Tomorrow I'll be doing a podcast with about five NerdVice producers two of which are Channel Awesome affiliates too (Leon Thomas and The Omega)

[Hobo]

Doug Walker recently had a cameo from Pinky and The Brain in one of his videos (featuring actual Maurice LeMarche and Rob Paulsen doing the voices). It's actually kinda funny.

And The Unemployed Historian looks at Mrs Brown! (not that one)
