Jumping back into the action I am here to present you with a great little article, in my opinion. But where the second edition of The Savior Guide seemed to be me trying just to be funny I went back to the original and tried my best to capture the feel and emptied my mind of all things except what I wanted I will say I did get a few moments where I threw a few jokes in that I think worked and added as I thought of them. So hopefully this will be as good as the original if not better but hopefully just not as bad as the 2nd. So sadly no groups just a few favorites.
Name: Todd "ToddInTheShadows" Nathanson
Gender: Male (For all we know)
Body type: Lean (For all we know)
Age (approximate): We assume he is 22 but his real age could be anything from 11 (He's been playing for 11 years) to 69.
Skills: Playing Piano (Ability to read music), can blend into a crowd
Bio: ToddInTheShadows has been a blogger on TGWTG.com and musical talent on YouTube until 2010. He was a fan of the site for a long time before deciding to become part of the Channel Awesome family. He found the site through “5 Second Movies” before the site went live in April of 2008. He's a reviewer of current pop songs that are bad, and plans to expand into the realm of past music in the future.
He has alternately claimed that he hides his face to protect his position as a Sunday school teacher, as a secret agent, and as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. At other times, he has said that he doesn't want his face attached to the "hamburger incident." His image-consciousness led him to do his reviews in profile silhouette, which adds to his mysteriousness.
Todd claims that he didn't get into pop music until an incident in 2007 when the antenna came off of his car. Because he didn't have money to fix it, he listened to pop music over and over because that was the only station that came on, and eventually he got into it.
Show/site: Todd's Pop Song Reviews (Nothing special by way of title, but don't judge the series by the title)
ToddInTheShadows YouTube, ToddInTheShadows on TGWTG
(In a zombie situations, unless they are relevant)
Pros: Can withstand high amounts of torture (he listens to pop music by choice for God sake!), He like the ninja can hide in the shadows

Skills: Very articulate, can be imposing, capable of organizing a large scale rebellion, leadership skills, it has been reported that he has a mean p-p-p-pokerface
Bio: Linkara is the pseudonym for Lewis Lovhaug, a Minnesotan comic book reviewer and author. The name comes from a series of self-published books that he wrote at ages 14-19 (and subsequently plans to revisit since he wants to revise them to fix plot problems, characterizations, and various other mistakes he made because he was young and inexperienced). Linkara was one of the earliest pick-ups of channel awesome becoming a flagship member of the site. Linkara's videos are probably most notable for the amount of quotes he has generated as well as his avoidance of using profanity
Show/site: Atop the Fourth Wall, 5 Panel Comics and History of the Power Rangers
Atop The Fourth Wall Blog, Linkara on TGWTG
(In a zombie situations, unless they are relevant)

Cons: A nasty Wasty (so says the Critic), maybe a little too caring, when the opportunity to rise in power Linkara was instantly power mad, maybe a little too chummy with the undead (His "magic" gun)
Name: Phelan "Phelous" Porteous
Gender: Male
Body type: Average to slightly muscular
Age (approximate): 25
Skills: ability to remain cool under pressure, healing Factory, death immunity, mastery of editing
Bio: Phelous is a Canadian citizen and mainly reviews Horror films. Phelous was picked up on the site around December 2008 with his video Mac and Me, and Mike asked users to post their opinions on him. It seemed to be divided right down the middle. Mike then posted a few more Phelous videos such as "Phelous Knows What He Shouldn't Have Watched Last Summer" and "Funny Games" before Phelous officially became a member of the site.
Show/site: Phelous (Phelous Who [?])
Phelous.com, Phelous on TGWTG

Pros: He's got a shotgun, His constant death either means he is immune to the zombie virus or he is the first in a line of super zombies, Hates Eli Roth (like most people should), possible Time Lord

How do they do it?!
God! I have no idea how they do it!
The Nostalgia Critic, Linkara, The Cinema Snob, Phelous let alone the people who do multiple video a week, like there people I just said and all the others (All the others, not actually all of the others but a good number). Watch/script/film/edit and release not to mention all the special effects they go through to make a good review. It is much harder than it looks, admittedly a few of these stages can go by quickly and they are all fun but all the work you have to put into doing this kind of thing weekly is just astounding to me. I'm working on a video a month and anything else I can get done and I think what I do is challenging, this reviewing thing is tougher than anything I've ever done.
I feel I have to say Thank you to all the reviewers out there, even the ones who aren't famous or even unknown. This is excellent work you're all doing and I really hope you all keep going.
But I wanted to show something off, I hope she doesn't mind but I just got the first sketch of my very first title card And I am so happy I choose this girl to be my artist, her work is outstanding!
I've sent her my 1 note on this and she is going to get it all finished in a little while, editing is going smoothly so please be sure to tell your favorite reviewers what a great job they are doing and I hope to see a few comments on my first review as soon as it comes out.
Have a great day everyone!
Also big shout out to C.R.I.T.I.C. TV for the mention on ep 45!

Artist, I need one...Life, that'd be good to.
You know in high school I wrote a children’s book.
I did.
It was about a boy and a zombie. I had high hopes to make a book and try to get it published. But sadly I am a terrible artist. Seriously my talent ends at doodles and it hardly makes it to that.
But while going through the "TGWTG Forum", I found a little "Artist for Hire" section. The section is really for title cards but I found an artist whom I have messaged and hopefully will be doing my title card. She has a very good style that is both cartoony yet has actual emotional depth to it as well. So hopefully I will get an artist for my title cards and if that works out well maybe an artist for my children’s book.
And if so, then maybe I can finally make some scratch.
Alright so back to boring life deprived of both job and girlfriend...lucky guy.

Savior Guide 1: Transmission Awesome
This is the brand new revamped savior guide. The savior guide is an idea I thought of where I will go through a few of the personalities I think should be saved for the rebuild of humanity after zombies annihilate the population. These are a few of the people you need to save. But don't worry I'm not talking about princes or Kings that where just handed their title I'm talking about geeks, nerds, actor and anyone else I view to be awesome and since I just said awesome I say we start with Transmission Awesome the group from Channel Awesome.

As his reporter ego he is capable of making people say meme with great ease. As well as his online persona Chris is also a marginally successful comedian.

Sean suffered from a heart attack at a young age and has since been to a doctor on regular occasions.
Show: Epic Fail
(In a zombie situations, unless they are relevant)
Pros: bait, helping block off entrances
Cons: weight, he may eat the food, slow pace, constant health fluxuations
From our main hosts we move to our more recently added co hosts Paw Dugan and AngryJoe, we'll start with Paw.

Who is ToddInTheShadows?
Who is Todd in the Shadows?
That is a question we must all ask ourselves, just who is Todd and what does he look like? As far as we are aware the facts are Todd is:
• A male
• Possible white
• Musically inclined
• the holder of the title of longest running Grim Reaper costume.
From there things we can clearly see that Todd must be.
It’s true just look at the fact, as far as we know Todd could in fact be a female (NOTE: This does not mean Miley Cyrus is a girl) He constantly reviews Disney paraphernalia i.e. Hannah Montana! Giving himself publicity all the while hiding his true, true identity from not only the general public but the TGWTG staff. See Todd you almost got away with it but a few of us are too clever for your trickery. Including the time you said you could be Hannah trying to throw us off track. If "Case Closed" has taught me anything it’s that the suspect will try to throw suspicion off themselves by assaulting themselves. So nice try “Todd” but we are on to you!

Your mask will fall! I swear it!
