Manic Expression

Hello Expressionists, Ratin8tor here to give the Outstanding Content of the Week.

Well it's been a week of remembrance this week, a week where people looked back on the good and the bad of the past. As well as some of the present. And a bit of a future. Confused? So am I, I don't know what I'm on about right now. Onto the runner-ups and winners.

And the winner, of Outstanding Video of the week, is...

He's Timdiana, and he created a tribute to the Nostalgia Critic where he got various vidders from all over the site to explain why the Nostalgia Critic was just so special to them and, along with having Les' song in it, created a video celebrating the Doug Walker's work so you don't have too. I doubt that's gonna become a catchphrase any time soon, but be sure to check out not just Tiamanda's but loads of other people's tribute to the Nostalgia Critic:

You know what sets us apart from loads of other sites out there? The sense of community that we have. That we can all work together towards a common goal and celebrate each others ideas. No better example of this can be seen in Fluffyman's Nostalgia Critic tribute, showcasing a variety of bloggers giving their thoughts on the now deceased character. Check the blog embracing his legacy here:
