Would it be safe to say that someone trying to get into the entertainment industry of Let's Playing/Twitching/ Docking is harder now than a few years ago? xD

I used to think the easy answer is "yes it is harder now" but I don't know if that's really true. As time passes there's lots of new sources of info and great hardware for cheaper than ever. If you have a great personality, message, vibe or skill, you can probably rise as fast or maybe even faster than those that came before.
Plenty of channels that started after me are now much bigger than mine. It's a lot of work and time invested with a smattering of luck and networking but it can be done.

Of all the things that's happened to you, what's the one that's more like the other different ones?

I think I might need to create a logic statement to evaluate if this is a question I can even address. :P

Hey Nick, I really like your vlogs and look forward to more. Also you mention living in the mountains and hiking sometimes. Would you ever do a vlog while walking around and showing them off sometime?

Yeah I have to some degree. I just prefer to be a bit ambiguous about exactly where I am since it's all right around my area.

Did you go to college? If so what did you study.

Yes, I have 2 degrees - an Associate and Bachelor of Science. I took programs in graphic design and advertising.

Have you ever thought about developing your own games?

Yes, originally when I started doing YouTube my hope was that I would eventually get involved in a project. I don't have all the skills necessary to really be an asset right now, maybe someday though I'd love to create something great. It's near the top of my long term life goals list!

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Music, movies, always more games to try. Tinkering in photoshop or playing guitar also can scratch that creative itch sometimes.

Its not really a question, but I just saw your answer about finding someone who can handle/accept your anxiety and the things you do. I just wanted to say that they are out there. I have crippling anxiety and I've only been able to get through it with my fiance's help/support. Just keep your head up

Maybe a bit silly to reply to this now since this comment was over a year old, but just wanted to say you were right! I found someone great and she really accepts me. I'm incredibly thankful and happy that I have someone like her.

Who are your favourite youtubers?

I mostly watch Northernlion, h3h3productions and Ashens right now. I used to watch a lot more but a lot of my viewing has moved over to Twitch streams.

Have you ever played persona 4? Do those type of games interest you at all?

Yes, I really enjoyed Persona 4 a lot. It's the only one in the series I felt really connected to and played a ton of.

Hey Nick, I was wondering, when you were younger, or even now, did you have aspirations that don't seem that they'll ever come to fruition? I ask, because me being on the younger side of the age spectrum (15) I feel like there are things I want to do in the games industry, but never could.

For sure. The whole place I'm at now was something I never could have thought of as a way to get by when I was younger and it's all ended up just happening. I was planning on becoming a graphic designer and working in that field despite always being extremely passionate about games - I was under the impression I couldn't be a real adult unless my job felt like something more formal.
I should never have strayed from what I was/am most passionate about. It took me years and tons of money to realize I'd gotten way off course. Don't worry about what people tell you is or isn't viable. Do what you need to do for yourself first.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

My friend next-door had a pool and would invite me over to swim and play Sega Genesis games. I got bullied a lot when I was little so it was great to have somebody that didn't really judge me and had some similar interests.

??? sufficient nutrients, maintain ???, become organically unconscious for 8 or so hours if you can each day, ??? appropriate fluids in accordance with healthful measurements. You don't know some of these words.

What?

Have you ever tried ask.fm? seems like a good bit of fun

I have in fact. I've answered a whole slew of questions as this point.

Opinion on the Death Penalty?

Our justice system is at times seriously flawed. You can't undo killing someone and their death does not ultimately provide any real resolution for those who were wronged. I understand why the death penalty exists, but I think it's time to leave that behind.

Heya, Nick. I have a problem with games. While I enjoy them, I have a ton which I haven't played much or never even touched (mostly from humble bundles). How can I go about convincing myself to play them and get over the barrier of loathing I feel whenever I stray away from my comfort zone? Bad Rat

I also fall into a similar pattern at times. I recommend just blindly diving into something on occasion. Even something you actively think you won't like - look at it like an exercise in critique. Figure out what the pros and cons are about it and you'll find a language that helps you understand your thought processes when you say "I don't want to play this". In the end you'll come out ahead no matter what you play!

If you could be the leader of your country, what would you change :3?

I would completely rebuild the healthcare system so it actually incentivizes preventative care. There've been enough lives ruined by putting people in a lifetime of debt over arbitrary values set in hospital chargemasters.

Hey Nick I was wondering how much do you think it would cost to start a youtube gaming channel? On PC of course but I would need to buy or build my own decent PC, I know its a lot of work and I'm not looking to be the next pewdiepie just want to make friends and be in a community

Probably about $1,000 should get you running from nothing. You'll have to be smart about how you work but it would hopefully keep you rolling till you can upgrade things.

What do you do when you’re angry? how and when u calm down ?? do u need to break a dish or vase ?? = comment tu réagis en ta nervosité ?? tu frappes ?? tu casses ?? dans combien de temps tu te calmerais ?? et comment ??

I don't get particularly angry very often and if I do I don't have much of a destructive side. I just kinda let the impulses to act out pass and try to collect my thoughts and move on from there.

You do not look 30 and I am sorry I forgot to untick.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I feel a bit conscious of my age sometimes since most of my friends are 5 years younger or more.

Are you only doing twitch and uploading the vods to youtube now? I miss indie impressions. :(

Mostly yeah. It's not intended to be a permanent thing but I've been in a slump for a while now and I'm having trouble rallying to get back to where I was. Sorry about how things ended up.

What is the music you play during streams sometimes, and during breaks? It's really good.

It's often just whatever I'm in the mood for that won't get me content ID matched on YouTube. I play a lot of Undertale music and a variety of normal artists in 8-bit versions. Just search for any artist on YouTube with 8-bit at the end.
