I was a part of Screwattack when it had started, when the whole thing began. I didn't create a user as I had a small bit of social dyslexia at the time, but I ha advertised Screwattack to all I knew. I knew a lot of people even with social problems. They told their friends, and they told their friends, to which they told me because they didn't know who started the chain. What made it great was the size. It wasn't that big, they were struggling owners at the time (I guess, I'm just making their story more badass), and they had a perfect balance. Handsome Tom was a cool guy and is a cool guy, and generally doesn't show too much enthusiasm in his surroundings, but we could feel it. Then there was Stuttering Craig, who had all the enthusiasm and loved to show it. But he was also a businessman, which led to the downfall of Screwattack. Then there was Perfect Liz, which carried both great characteristics of this duo. Understand that this is before the interns came in. Those three were in perfect unison, and where one would stumble, the other pick up. It was cooperative, and we loved it. It was amazing, I never missed a podcast. NEVER. It was amazing, but like all businesses, they grow. Then come in the interns. The site was still great as it still carried a great gravitas with it, as if the site were run by your Average Joe. But there was something missing, which would eventually be glaring as the site grew. The homeliness was entirely gone, and it feels as if these normal people were just staff. That is the first great thing about it.

 

But the second is the final nail in the coffin if you will. It had balance, we had someone to stop the other from doing something stupid or to convince the other to do something stupid. They were excited, but never too excited, and they were perfect. What made Screwattack good was the homeliness, but what made it great was the the balance. Which is where we have to go to into something hard to talk about. When Handsome Tom and Perfect Liz (As well as New School Mickey/8-Bit Mickey) had left, destroying the balance and making an antagonist out of Stuttering Craig, but I won't go that far into it. Without Tom, we didn't have a Perfect Satisfaction, and Screwattack was a little too peppy for my tastes.

 

Anyways, just wanted to address that. Also that the balance had been recreated when Handsome Tom and Perfect Liz had created their own website, which restores the perfect balance with some other Ex-Screwattack employees and some new faces. I suggest you take a look, link at the bottom. It's a great site, and I suggest everyone to go over there and give it the same chance you gave Screwattack.
