Hey Hank, as a long-time Vlogbrothers viewer, reading you type "we’re most well-known for SciShow and CrashCourse" sends me to the depths of bewilderment. How did it develop that these became your most well-known projects, and how important do you think crowdfunding was in that? Do you think your existing audience from Vlogbrothers etc. was essential in establishing them, or does their success come from elsewhere?

Sorry that that's several questions at once, hopefully it makes sense.

That's different. That's a retail employee (much more expendable, I would think) and he signed an NDA for what he posted about. So long as OP doesn't break any NDAs, they should be fine.

Would you ever develop another Xbox timed-exclusive?

How do you feel about the developers (e.g. Molyneux) who have left major publishers to work independently and with fewer restrictions through Kickstarter, when you yourself seem to be relatively unrestricted by 2K? Do you consider yourself lucky to be working for a less overbearing publisher, or is there an element of bandwagoning going on in games where Kickstarter is concerned? Sorry if that question's messy to read.

Side-question: If you felt that your creative ability was being severely restricted by a publisher, how likely would you be to create a game independently, funding it through something like Kickstarter?

Please do not become a mime.
