winners are now ready to be announced. If you didn't win continue to make
videos or articles in the blog section of the site, as we will be doing this

Premium Members:
A mass email was sent out last week to all who have donated. Some
issues did arise; (1 guy reported the email as spam, and another one
unsubscribed, along with a few emails getting blocked by their email providers
spam filter) If you are still going to the .net site, please shoot me an
email (under the site stuff menu/contact menu), with the email address you
donated with. Same thing goes for people who have not gotten this
email yet. I will fix it ASAP!
Posting Videos On Youtube.
Some ass actually has been trying to post Premium Content on Youtube.
When I find out who is doing this, I will ban you from accessing the Premium
Area. Now it has come to my attention that there are also a lot of
people posting Videos from this site on Youtube. We will begin to start
flagging these shortly. I believe the only guy that we will not flag has
the NC/AVGN (or something like that) account, as he actually goes out and says
that the videos are not his, and posts links back to this site (hopefully if you
read this, you can make them a little more visable)
We not only lose viewers, but money as well from this, so unless you're the
guy above stop now.
Site Updates:
Forums: I plan on fixing the log in errors that many of you are having
by Tuesday.
Comments: This component will be updated by Tuesday.
Blogs: This component will be updated by Tueday.
That's all for me tonight, It's almost 4 AM and I have to work 8-8
tomorrow. Night all!
Congrats to the winners. I'm glad Krissy and Coldguy made it, too bad Marzgurl didn't. I hope TheSock will be in the next contest and that he'll keep making his great videos.
Wow, I'm thrilled to be in the finals and tickled pink that people like my "Top 9 List" (glad I did it as well as a normal review). Good luck to everyone! Great vids all!
- Another Girl (Lauren)
P.S.-- OH and since you can't see my editorial note on YouTube, I should mention that I had codec problems that I couldn't fix in time for deadline. If you're wondering about that clip that turned green for 2 seconds, the full commercial is here on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUVKQ-NgSWg
Well I thought some viewer seeking ass would eventually start putting the premium content on youtube, I hope it gets dealt with.
Out of all users I'm glad Lord Von Quack (happy Mr. Pinickity name spelling person?)is going to have his articles featured, he really is one of the faces of the forums. I hope I get into the next round for another shot.
'This component will be complete by Tuesday'? Tantalizing.
Well done all the NChick finalists, I'll probably leave the judging to the hands of the Gods, rather than make an opinion contribution as to who will win myself.
While i have to say that Lindsay looks breattaking and Kaylyn scares me about as much as the NC dos the girls i showed his videos to i´ed have to say go with Krissy. It just felt like she did take on making it a bit more "of her own" while the others felt a lot more NC Inspired.
A bunch of good videos from everyone non the less.
I could only see the second part of Lindsay's video ('this video is no longer available'), but I found it to be extremely funny. Mine is the path of hotness... LOL
Out of all users I'm glad Lord Von Quack (happy Mr. Pinickity name spelling person?)is going to have his articles featured, he really is one of the faces of the forums.
Thank you mi amigo. Not for the kind words, but for the correct spelling. See it's you and Doug who were on my list to be berated until a correction was given, so now I just have spam the AskThatGuy thread until Doug issues a public apology. On his knees.
But really, thanks bro. I hope with my whole heart not to embarrass this site with silly, idiotic topic and writings. Oh coming up next "Top Ten Favorite Colors That End With Urple".

I'm friends with 2 of the finalists. WHAT TO DO!? QUACK!!!! HELP ME!
Who's breasteses are bigger? Wait, that's insenstive and a poor way to judge!
BUT WAIT!
Krissy already has my vote because we're twins! So thus, if either win it's awesome! You can give your vote to the other friend, and this way both girls have a better chance to win! YEAH! KNOWING REALLY IS HALF THE BATTLE!
*G.I. Joe~~!*
Congrats to all the lucky ladies you made it, and a round of applause to the other BOB participants. Good job on making it among the elite.
I liked Drew's version of The Last Unicorn better than Kaylyn's. I think too many reviewers these days are trying to review things angrily whether or not what is being reviewed is deserving of it. Some things Kaylyn pointed out I did find myself asking when I saw the movie, but some other things were a bit far fetched. I did however like Kaylyn's tag line the best of all the entries. I didn't feel like Lauren really reviewed anything. She had a themed list, and made a few comments on things from her list, but in the end I just feel like she just complained a lot. I liked both Lindsay's and Krissy's reviews a lot. They were very entertaining, and both made good picks for their reviews. I would enjoy either of them being the Nostalgia Chick, but because I'd have to pick one, I'll go with Lindsay. Her performance felt more natural. I just hope the puppies thing was just a running gag with this video, and won't continue through all her future videos.
Video made by Kaylyn was funny and fairly entertaining. What else do you need? Cosplay stuff? Or maybe plushy flushy "puppies"? Or... videos that authors don't try very hard in making them? Seriously, it's all about the sweet sarcastic, ironic with a cherry on top wicked humor that's all the matters.
im torn between who to pick.... fuck it, il play darts drunk again... that should decide fate. remember, Destiny is only the gods playing darts drunk and going "fuck it, he/she gets that choice" so lets all make decisions like gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I guess I didn't make the finals. I suppose I should of worn a lower cut shirt. Congrats to the finalists! Go Lauren and Lindsay!

- My two cents on the Nostalgia Chicks.
I prefer Kaylyn's video of the Last Unicorn to the others. She put a lot of work, thought, and effort into it, and it shows. Her background doesn't distract you, it is entirely plain white, the lighting was well done and doesn't leave everything in shadow, and her review was genuinely engaging and entertaining.
Krissy seemed to rely too much on herself, and not the review. It was entertaining that she did a transformation at the start, but it wasn't actually what I personally was looking for in a review of sailor moon. Also personally, I did not find any of her jokes funny past the "Pretty puddle". Also, I don't appreciate that she relied on her striptease to garner an audience. I know you're a woman okay, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks of you just for the sex. I find it disrespectful to me, and to you.
Lindsay, I did not like, too much reference to sex, and it was constant. I know we're looking for a nostalgia "chick" but come on, if you don't want men everywhere thinking of you as an object for sex, don't keep pandering to the stereotype. As I mentioned before, I find it disrespectful to me, and to you.
Lauren was funny, genuinely funny, but was rather slow. At the times she was speaking, she made a few good jokes, but it was still a little too slow moving. A lot of her expressions seemed forced as well, the jokes were good, but her voice didn't convey that feeling to me. Also, the girls gone wild clip wasn't necessary. Call me a prude, but I don't care whether or not there's sex, do try to keep it at least slightly child friendly.
Drew was okay, but having two The Last Unicorn reviews kind of ruins her chances. Maybe I'm playing favourites, but her review just wasn't as good as Kaylyn's. Kaylyn talked me through the movie, Drew made me watch it. She talked a bit, then played the movie for a good long while, then talked a bit, then played the movie for a good while.
Long story short, Kaylyn is my choice, she was the most entertaining of the five, and for my personal tastes, did not degrade herself by referring constantly to the fact that "she has boobs". She was entertaining by herself, with words only, no "I'm a girl, I have boobs! Woo!" jokes, and, here's one I liked a lot, she did not ever drop an "F Bomb". I don't think that kind of language should be used, but especially not from a woman. Maybe that's chauvinistic, but I don't like the F-word at any time.
I like the Pocahontas review, but she forgot to mention that the real Jamestown doesn't actually HAVE waterfalls like that. I'm from there, and it's nothing but a dull, mosquito-infested swamp.

- the winner should be Lindsay:
Lindsay honestly is the funniest from what I’ve seen, and has that something that the nostalgic critic has. And she is cute
Okay, after perusing the comment table, I decided to REGISTER and JOIN, two things I don't ever do unless it's to my own benefit and also free. But seeing that the people making the right decision seem about even with the people making the wrong one, I thought I would throw in my two cents.
I was under the impression, after watching Kaylyn's video on YouTube, that any rational mind would of course vote for her, as she was the only potential Nostalgia Chick that was both clever and funny, and didn't resort to Fucks and Tits for attention. To be fair, I have a goldfish-sized memory, so it's entirely possible that she swore and remarked upon her breasts and the having of breasts, but if she did, it was subtle and didn't feel out of place. Lindsay's curse came out of goddam nowhere, as I recollect.
Oh, and she didn't do any fact checking. Lauren comes off as sarcastic and menstrual, so she was out of the running faster than that chubby Aussie in the forum section, the embittered one that posed strategically so that all her viewers (all six) could see that she wasn't a "twig". Yeesh.
Okay, so...oh! Krissy, I forgot to mention, is excellent, and I've watched a couple of her videos. I think she should totally be added to the site, but not as the Nostalgia Chick...That Girl With the Goggles should STAY That Girl With the Goggles. She's not quite Wolverine, but she's at least good at what she does, and she should continue to do it, but get paid!
Anyway, Kalyyn. Kaylyn's video was funny and entertaining to watch, despite the fact that I have testicles. The others, aside from Krissy, failed to produce a review worth menti-...oh. Well, okay. Lindsay could have been funnier, if she had done a bit of fact checking and hadn't seemed so lackadaisical about the whole thing. She was funny enough, sure, but there were a couple of glaring errors that sort of threw me off. But sarcasm? Baby, she's got it.
I'm glad she made it as well. This competition is
didn't. I hope TheSock will be in the next contest and that he'll keep making
his great videos.
