Quotes

“[My content is] complete silliness. That’s the only way to describe them. It’s just complete nonsense. I don’t even know half the stuff that comes out of my mouth—usually colorful combinations of curse words.”

“I actually want to go into voice acting, so in the beginning, I thought if I was being loud for 45-minutes every day, I could exercise my voice. But then people started really liking the videos, so I kind of threw myself into it 100 percent and it grew into something bigger.”

“My dad died of cancer on July 4 of 2008, so it [the disease has] affected me personally. He [my dad] was the guy who raised me. My parents divorced at young age, so me and my brother were with our father. He died of lung cancer. He also had some bone cancer. It [the cancer] was spreading pretty bad.”

“My dad’s been an inspiration for what me and my brother do. My brother has a webcomic, so he also makes his living off the Internet.”

“I’ll play a game and try to be as entertaining as I can. But the more interesting thing is the community that builds around a game.”

“I make sure it [sponsorship] makes sense for my fan base. I get paid way more than I deserve and frankly I’d probably do it for free.”
