  • Is there a way to read text versions of the reviews so I don't have to watch the videos?
    • The TGWTG Wiki has transcripts of all of NCritic's reviews, as well as a handful of stuff from other people.
    • Why would you want to do that?
  • Is there a search option and is there any way to list videos by something other than the author? Crossovers are especially hard to find, since they could be listed under any of the people in the video. And some of it seems completely arbitrary, like Kickassia being under Nostalgia Critic when it should have its own category, and it's very unintuitive to track down all the commentaries and special features for it.
  • What is Channel Awesome? If it's going by the definition of channel that one might associate with television, then TGWTG, Blistered Thumbs, and Barfiesta are channels, but they are all somehow part of Channel Awesome, which is basically the equivalent of saying that Fox, Fox News, and FX are the same channel. I get that it's some sort of umbrella title, or denoting the production company (it's really more of a distribution company, seeing as the contributors all have different production teams and CA doesn't do anything but showcase those productions—it'd be like calling something a Buena Vista production instead of a Disney Company production—but whatever) but the use of the word Channel makes no sense.
    • It's supposed to be like youtube channels. A collection of videos and whatnot to watch and enjoy.
    • Channel Awesome is the name of the company, founded by Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis and Bhargav, that runs the websites That Guy With The Glasses and Blistered Thumbs. Doug's films are produced in-house, but you're right that most of their contributors do their own production.
  • What's that really pretty music that tends to play when a reviewer is depressed? It happened when the Critic had his Despair Event Horizon and also happened when Angry Joe lost the first Grudge Match.
  • Why is it that Paw's entry on the Ask That Guy's user contest wasn't uploaded to the site but Lewis' and Will's were? Is it because he did it straight until the end?
    • While we're on the subject, what was that, anyway? Was it a contest to get onto the site or a contest amongst people who were already contributors?
      • Apparently Ask That Guy had a breakdown (also, why is it that he release the contest in October but the users' answers were only uploaded on the site in January/February?
      • Watch the beginning of the episode and the Critic's review of MKA. He was really busy for some reason (probably computer issues if I'm remembering my time period), and he apologized.
