Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.
The support of my fans is something I treasure more than anything, and I wouldn't be here today without their support, their involvement in my shows.
The spirit is the thing I most love about my kind of geekdom.
I am excited for the future of the industry, because we're at that point now where digital is becoming pertinent to release and distribution strategy versus releasing on cable or anywhere else.
I do not sleep, but it's totally fine, because I love what I do.
I tend to have more anxious dreams where I'm late getting to places. That's definitely a recurring dream; I hate being late to places.
Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.
I think it's really good to create pockets and events throughout the year that highlight certain things that are really popular on YouTube.
'The Last Of Us,' to me, is just amazing storytelling, because everything's from the character point of view, which even movies don't really do successfully a lot of the time.
You never know how people are gonna receive you and especially a character that's so close to the fans in type...
I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I've never had a role where I wasn't intimidated by it.
I'd been on 'Buffy' - that is an amazing community, the Joss Whedon fans.
My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself.
When I carve out time to game, it's because I rationalize that I 'deserve it,' so I relish every minute of that 2-3 hour session.
I'm definitely more of a 'think game' kind of girl. I'll read every single dialogue and codex entry and lore entry. I really do love projecting myself and creating my character.
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.
I was just confused about why I was feeling overwhelmed all the time and trying to adjust to having people work for me. Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.
I feel like maybe I'm part of that generation that became more of a gamer than a video consumer. It's always been something I've done with my spare time. If I had three hours on a Friday night, I'm not out partying. I'm probably playing video games.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
I'm super excited about gaming always. That's the thing that I geek out over; those are the vlogs that I'm surfing if I'm not already playing a game at night.
Voice acting is very different from live-action. You only have one tool to convey emotion. You can't sell a line with a look. It's all about your vocal instrument. Doing voice work is also great because you don't have to get your hair done, which I despise.
I don't need millions of dollars. I need to know that what I'm doing with my life is expressing who I am, and maybe making people happy. This is all we get.
Now I understand what exhaustion is. It’s not just a code word for heroin addiction. People don’t teach you how to handle the workload that comes from a little bit of success, and it’s something I’d never had to handle, because I’d been rejected for so long.
In life they're not going to serve you lemons, they're going to serve you lemonade; and I don't really like lemonade because I've got a really bad acid reflux.
I was a huge fan of video games; I wanted to write something, and I saw the tools at my fingertips to upload a video to my audience, and thats why Im here today. I think that freedom and the lack of gatekeepers, combined with peoples passion, is what really the true spirit of Internet geekdom is about.
