A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANNOYING! I hear them everyday on my comment box and it stresses me out when you can just as easily find the answer yourself. Here's a list of what I can think of thats fitting in a FAQ for now. I'll probably add more as time flows onward.
When did you start playing video games?
As long as I can remember...since I was 3 or 4 years old. When the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was out. Back then I wasn't really into it as I am now. I did try other activities such as sports, drama, etc. but found I wasn't suited or rather not accepted into these things. So I eventually came into the video game line finding that games are somewhat better than other activities.
Aren't you too old to be playing video games?
I don't feel that way at all at my age. I also don't feel that I should be playing more brutally violent games either. I'm still a kid at heart and I enjoy the games meant for younger ones. I have very few M rated games and I try to avoid the M rating games if possible. Its also that games are for all ages you shouldn't limit yourself to just one game just cause everyone else rates you on it. (man that was hypocrite of me.)
Why do you keep uploading videos that suck so bad?
Those that ask this question let me ask you this? What do you think of those that upload super play videos? Sure they're great but eventually you're looking at the same thing with every user. I have no doubt in my mind that those that are apparently what some call gods of that game have indeed gone through the same mistakes if not worse than what I experienced. Watching videos of people PWN a game doesn't help me at all. I rather watch someone screw up so that way I know what not to do. Aside from that I don't spend my entire life on just one particular game just to master it when the generation has moved on to something bigger and better.
When are you going to play this game/ Are you getting this game?
I really appreciate when these questions aren't asked. I already have a long list of games to play and I try to avoid the trend of games that others are playing. No one wants to see the same game video of the same boss 6 times with only a few minor differences.
How long have you've been uploading videos?
I don't know. I never really keep track of such things. I guess 2 years now? Counting my old account.
What happened to your old youtube account?
Let set things straight. Favic had nothing to do with it. He does not possess that kind of power if he did I would report him to the proper authorities since it wouldn't be fair to ban someone's account over something so trivial. Anime flaggers had nothing to do with it either I have no beef with them so they have no beef with me. With that said here's the real reason the old account was deleted. My Megaman AMV's kept having copyright infringement issues with a company called ShoPro which is a dubbing company. So In turn my account was eventually deleted and youtube quit answering my emails without giving me a chance to remove the videos from my account. Even though youtube's policy changed on copyright infringement they're still the same on it.
What is your favorite game?
I don't have a favorite game in particular as it changes often as I grow older. It's better to ask me what games I don't like.
What games do you not like?
There's quite a few. But my list is like this with some exceptions.
Where is this item/weapon/area/stage/etc. at in this game?
It is more benificial for you to go to www.gamefaqs.com and look it up instead of asking me. My memory about small details is sketchy so its better to check someone who actually wrote it down for everyone to view.
Is this game any good/worth buying/etc.
I can't say yes or no on the matter its up to you to decide it. I'm not a Gamestop employee. If you're asking me I'm going to say yes then, you're going to blame me for buying a crappy game. Best thing to do is to either Rent it, watch videos of it, or play a demo. Then decide for yourself.
Do you watch anime?
Yes, not as often as others. I'm not a freak on it I stopped being one after I discovered how long the Dragon Ball series and Inuyasha was milked to the bone marrow. I'll watch it but I rather watch comedy shows or play some games to pass the time.
What's your friend code?/ Can we be brothers/ wanna battle/ lets trade?
Even though I said drop a PM if interested....By the time these questions arise I'm done with the game. Its only worse cause usually I have what I wanted already and its useless to go online or worse when I feel ready...no one else is playing that game.
Do you have a life?
A life better than the person that asks this question most likely. Makes me sick to see such a question. We're human and make our own choices in life and I hate trends. I honestly would rather stay at home and do something than to go to the club. I've been to the club, I've been to a strip bar, even to a football game. I can't stand those places...well mainly I can't stand loud places. LOL.
Random Flames/Spam/pointless messages
There is a whole lot of things I wish I could say to those people that's enough to make a person cry. But however I must control myself and not say these things as it would make me look bad. So its best not to push your luck which is why you get blocked anyway.
You should do commentary.
Apparently according to many users of youtube they don't want to hear my voice. That's not a good enough reason. Here's my reason. I don't feel like it unless I'm playing a handheld. Cause I'm saying it then and there. I can't think of anything to say while I'm redubbing a video to youtube quality so its useless to try.
You should play this game!!!! ITS AWESOME!!!
That's about as bad as the when will you get this game question. I don't feel up for playing that game at the time and most of the time the game isn't very appealing for me. I like watching but that's it.
What kind of games do you play?
Alright here's a list.
I mostly like the games that don't get the spotlight much. I don't like it to be too easy but I don't like unforgiving either. I'm also not a big fan on blood. So I avoid blood & gore where possible. The music in the game motivates me, then gameplay. I don't care too much for graphics or voice acting so that doesn't affect my choices.
The voice acting sucks on this game!!!
You keep talking about voice acting being bad when its good. Its only been bad a few times but that was back in the mid 90s to early 2000 when voicework was only but a dream. You should be thankful you got it. I may sound old saying thing but this is what we wished for in the old days. A lot of us were too lazy to read or even did the voices ourselves. If voice acting is what you judge your games on then you shouldn't really be buying games in the first place. You know you sound just as bad too when characters were that young. Honestly my opinion on voice acting is I'm tired of hearing the same guy for different characters. It just kills my imagination of the characters (Honestly can you imagine how weird it would be if the characters of the same voice met each other?). I don't care how great that person is i'm sick of the same voice! I want to hear different people already!
When/Why did you start drawing?
I have no clue when I started drawing. Probably when I took art class for the first time. I mainly draw when I see something awesome and try to draw it. So I look at an official picture of that thing and draw what I see. Whether it comes out good or not is a coin toss. You can also tell how much work I put into as well. I don't spend much time on it. I think the most I've spent on my drawings is an hour. I try not to trace the image as well all real artist hate that. I honestly do suck at the whole drawing thing I can't even make a circle without it being crooked.. I really draw from what I see most of the time and then add my own details if possible. I never really drawn anything human before. I may have but....I haven't done it in awhile. So I tend to stick with what I'm good at which is well...animals...monsters....and I'm not good with those either. So drawing is more of a secondary hobby. One I'll probably not pursue as a career.
About M.U.G.E.N.
I have no intentions on sending anyone anything related to MUGEN. Unless you're a good friend. Even then I'm reluctant to send files to you. So its best not to ask. Asking me where to find the character its better to go into the forums of a MUGEN community site and go from there. I favorite all my links for characters and such just in case the creator updates. As for me I wish I had help in creating characters. I have no idea what I'm doing in the matter.
What do you use to record?
I have a number of methods to record my gameplay from:
---DVD Recoder & DVD Ripper
Somewhat costly depending on what kind of DVD recorder you buy. The cheapest I've seen one was for about 70 bucks. DVD's cost about 5 to 10 dollars for a set of blank DVD-RWs. The DVD Ripping Program doesn't cost anything unless you wanna buy the full version I use AoA DVD Ripper the trial version limits you to 2 chapters up to 10 minutes. The full version costed me about 30 bucks. Only flaw here is that the DVDs over time wear out.
---Hauppauge! HD PVR
Probably the most expensive piece of equipment I bought. Which I bought for recording PSP games (This was before the 3rd version came out.) The set me back about 300 bucks ( I could have got a PS3 LOL.) But is excellent for recording in HD. It even comes with a converter program you can use to convert to the most used video formats.
---Dazzle DVC
A christmas present from long ago. This thing barely hits the standards on quality. Great for travel though which I used this for sometime while I was away from home for over 6 months.
---Video Editing Software
Cause of youtube's 10 minute limit. I just use Windows Movie Maker to cut most of my videos into parts. Windows Movie Maker is free. (assuming you're using windows.) There's loads of Video editing software just have to find it.
---Snagit
Mainly for the use of recording MUGEN videos or PC only games. It does a decent job considering the performance of your PC.
What do you use to do Live Gaming Broadcast?
I reccommend going here.

Where do you get your music?
