My dad was in the military, yeah. He was in the Air Force, and he was a doctor, so he would go places for six months here, and two years there. And I was home-schooled because I played the violin, and I did a lot of competitions.

I think it's really good to create pockets and events throughout the year that highlight certain things that are really popular on YouTube.

That's the great thing about incubating something on the web: you have the potential to go to other platforms. Every single platform has a different audience that you find.

I've played pretty much every single-player RPG there is, has been, ever will be. But as far as the MMOs go, especially with the voice chat, it becomes like hanging out with your friends in a chat channel, and you're playing at the same time. So it becomes a lot more social than people would probably think.

You never know how people are gonna receive you and especially a character that's so close to the fans in type...

At no point am I ever threatened by people who question who I am, or why I like the things I do, or my legitimacy. Because I know who I am very strongly, and I think that's what geek culture can reinforce.

I'm not a very vengeful person. I like to accept people; I tend to see the good in everybody, so I'm kind of stupid like that.
