And I just had this strange, weird sinking feeling. I think I'm feeling the drought. We better get some awesome content after all this time. One can hope.
Unfortunately, because it's been so long, I feel like whatever they put out will be slightly disappointing since we're so desperate. Of course if the give us a more than one thing at once it could be better. As everyone has said they are desperately behind on gaming (also probably my favorite of theirs) and liveshows.
Depends how long they stay in the US I guess.
One would hope they'd learn for Australia. But It is shorter though, so maybe it won't seem like as much of a torturous wasteland.
I'm not too connected with the rest of the phandom (ie: nothing, I don't do twitter and I use Tumblr solely for
porn of the homosexual variety artistic pictures) so forgive me for asking an obvious question but; is the entire phandom feeling the drought? Then surely, they'll see? I refuse to believe they respect their fans so little that they'd do this to them willingly. Right? Right. Right...
The thing is, the phandom prides itself on being entertaining so much that Dan and Phil probably do feel like it takes some weight off their shoulders. You've got people going 'content drought, channels dying, fading into obscurity' on one hand and
posts like this on the other.
(Yes, I'm posting too much. It's the nightly coffee)
And maybe, that's also why the phandom is so big and so fun. It has that community feeling, it's massive but still feels somewhat niche. I mean, in that respect, Dan and Phil have carved out a pretty nice space for themselves and their fans. That self-sustaining quality is mostly nice, though it can get a bit scary sometimes. But I'd hate for them to really be relying on it, I mean, it's just not enough. Just waffle for half an hour on younow, we'd have a thread filled and thirst quenched. I'd get it if the phandom had standards, but the phandom at large really does not. So we're not even asking for that much (he added hastily).
Look at me, beating dead horses left and right. Sorry PETA.
