I am a full-time YouTuber, founder of TGS, and StarCraft fanatic. AMA

Will you sign my nipples?

Are they big enough D:?

Has being a pro e-sports caster ever gotten you laid?

I wouldnt say my profession has dictated my success with the ladies, more my attitude.

Yo, so I'm gonna be in LA for the next couple of months - what'll it take to buy you a drink/soda of your choice?

I appreciate the offer! I also appreciate you offering something other than alcohol because thats all anyone ever says "can I buy you a beer?".

nothing against drinking, just appreciate the courtesy :D! Upvote for you sir.

will you sneak in behind dodger during one of the podcasts?

I keep trying this actually but she always locks her door during the podcast. I even went out and bought supplies to make a custom sign that said

"I LOVE TOTALBISCUIT :3".

Went to go show it off to the stream only to find out the door was locked :(

Hey husky!!! Long time fan. have you ever had a stalker/person who has harassed you? Or found out personal information and thus had to change a phone number or something?

Hmmm lets see. Great question!

There are definitely creepers out there. Thankfully since I'm a dude I dont get very many stalkers because... I imagine most stalkers are male? Either that or all the female stalkers realize there is much better options out there.

I have definitely been 'macked on' at events by some girls. I'm not into that but I guess its a sign that girls are into nerds now?

What's your current opinion on LAGTV?

Answered this several times. There is no drama :D

Has anything romantic ever happen between you and Dodger? Ever? Hugs don't count.

This is my favorite question. As many of you know Dodger and I

Husky big fan!!! I wish I was as good as you on SC2, but question is: Diablo 3 is coming out next tuesday, are you going to be playing? And if you are how are you gonna juggle between D3 and SC?

I am going to be playing D3 A LOT. To be completely honest I have toned down my gaming when it comes to titles outside of StarCraft 2, but Diablo 3 is going to be a huge exception.

I completely love all Blizzard games (played wow for 4 years, WC2 and 3 religiously, even played all their console games as a kid).

As far as balance goes? Right now all I do is sleep and play SC2. Guess I have to remove sleep!

What is the story behind you saving TotalBiscuits's family as Tb put it?

Honestly I think that's something only he should be able to talk about.

I absolutely love TB and completely respect his privacy.

Thank you for your videos. That is all. Please continue to incorporate more weird mini-funny stories in them (eg. "Oh look it's a Queen, doing Queen things, like knitting.").

Thanks! I try not to go crazy with the tangents but some times i just have ot say the random things that enter my head...

Husky... If you could become a unit in the Starcraft universe (1,2,or broodwar) which would it be and why?

Definitely the carrier!

Not only do I get to say CARRIER HAS ARRIVED any time I go somewhere, but I also have 8 minions to do my bidding. Win/Win

How is life in a house full of people who share your passion towards video games?

I honestly couldnt ask for better roommates. Its amazing how productive being around others who share your same interest can be.

If theres one thing I've learned, surround yourself in good people. Good company not only makes your life less stressful, but more productive too!

What has been your favorite moment in your starcraft 2 casting career to date??

My absolute favorite moment to date? TRICKY!

I would have to say making the Banelings music video. I guess thats more YouTube related, but to be able to mesh my favorite game (StarCraft) into my least favorite song (Justin Bieber's 'Baby') and have it be a success was quite the awesome feeling.

[deleted]

Husky has been a nickname I've had since at least high school. I basically had to choose between that and something Griffin related, which is totally overused :P!

I just always though the name Husky sounded cool, the dogs are badass, and it also almost always starts a convorsation when I meet someone new 'Are you a furry?' 'Did you go to so and so college?' 'did you used to be fat?'

It never gets old :D

What is the super secret project? :P

Hahha love this question! (yay for people totally up to date on what we're doing).

All I can say is that it is indeed super secret but also that I'm super excited. There will be a lot of voice talent from my close friends (many of which you probably already watch on YouTube). I can just say that I'm SUPER excited for it and I hope it turns out.

As a huge RTS fan have you ever played Age of Empires 2? Also, did you know that there is still a really big scene around the game with big money tourneys and everything? :O

I have indeed playe...WOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

(tell me more about these tournaments)

What other games do you like to play besides SC (and CS)

My favorite fps of all time is Counter Strike.

My favorite RPG of all time is Fallout 2.

My favorite puzzle game of all time is.... FUCK YOU PUZZLE GAMES

My favorite turn based game of all time is Heroes of Might and Magic

My favorite Card game of all time is MTG :D!

What made starcraft YOUR game? Why do you like it?

Honestly my love for StarCraft is by complete chance. At the time of its release (when I was like 10 years old) I was playing a lot of the original Command and Conquer. My friend got a new game called StarCraft and I asked for it for Christmas a while later.

After that I was just always addicted. There probably hasn't been a single month since the game has been released that I havent played either SC1, BW, or SC2.

If you could choose another job besides being an (amazing) e-sports caster, what would it be?

Male Nurse.

I tried doing the schooling and really struggled with all the classes. I completely respect male nurses (and anyone in the medical industry really)

Husky, how exactly do you make money from YT? I use adblock, but like to give support to people who I think deserve it- you being one. I thumbs up videos and add stuff to favorites when I remember. How does this all work? Do you get a certain amount of money per comment/like/favorite, or is all based on ads viewed?

Any revenue is based purely on ads.

Commercials pay more than the little banner things on the sides/bottom of the video.

Honestly if watching ads bugs you I totally dont blame you for using an ad blocker. The StarCraft community has one of the highest ad block rates on YouTube because we are crafty little fuckers.

what were you thinking when you commentated your first game, and what was your inspiration to do so?

Oh man, GREAT question!

My inspiration was definitely Tasteless. He was the first english caster that I had ever watched at that point.

During my first cast I was mostly just focussed on not sounding like a total idiot. After a month or so I started to feel a lot more comfortable.

It is EXTREMELY weird hearing your own voice uploaded onto the internet though. As if hearing it in family vidoetapes wasnt bad enough...

What BroodWar player do you think is going to be the most feared when they switch to SC2.

I'm hoping Stork does well if the players do indeed witch to SC2 full time. Jaedong is my favorite player and I'd love to see Flash actually lose a game.

if blizzard asked you to be in the Starcraft movie what character would you like to play?

LOL what an interesting question.

I dont think my acting skills are anywhere near up to par for something like that, so hopefully I'm guy who gets ripped in half by zerglings #2

Sup?

A WILD BROTHER APPEARS.

Can also be seen as a chicken in my newest music video

Least favorite aspect of your job?

Least favorite aspect? Probably travel exhaustion and the amount of hate I receive.

I've gotten long used to it by now and actually enjoy it. Just took me a while :)

What's your opinion on the new units in HotS, and how do you think they will change the game?

I try not to talk about the new units until the game is actually launched.

The reason for this is because they will add and remove units if they think they suck. I've talked to a lot of people 'in the know' and trust me, what we saw at Blizzcon is no where near what we'll see at HOTS release, which should be expected IMO.

I hope Blizzard just adds units that serve lots of roles, instead of being gimicky harassment or counter units.

Can we expect more ladder anxiety games in the near future?

Have had little to no time at all recently for ladder anxiety but I do plan to do more! I recently lost 9 out of 10 games (if you watch my most recent live stream) but on recently was able to gain some of those losses back.

Time to practice and come back swinging!

Why do most successful youtubers move to L.A.? It seems like the unofficial capital of Youtube.

Getting ready for bed but wanted to answer this question really quickly.

The reason a ton of top youtubers are moving to LA is the same reason people move here for acting. Its just where all entertainment stuff is located (obviously is stuff everywhere, but this is the entertainment capital of the world).

All the resources bleed out into new media, studios are being established, a lot of the other channels are already here, very interesting culture, amazing weather, and just all the tools you need to grow your brand.

As they say 'its all about who you know'. Well, all the people you'll want to know in new media are probably in LA

Poor Brian

This. Was. Way. Too. Funny.

GOD DAMMIT MEMES WHY DO I STILL LAUGH AT YOU EVEN THOUGH WE'VE KNOWN EACHOTHER FOR SO LONG?

What is your favourite Nerd Alert song?

Honestly my favorite Nerd Alert song is one we havent released yet. Hope you guys enjoy the next one :D

Who is your favorite porn-star?

I actually dont know a single porn starts name other than Ron Jeremy... and i've also never seen his porn.

I guess since I like new media so much I'm more of a fun of amateur?

Where do you see the future of E-sports going? Do you think the dynamics of teams is going to change, in terms of how teams are arranged/sponsored?

Thank you for doing this, big fan!

Esports is always changing.

Just a couple years ago having koreans on foreign teams was not even a thought that would EVER enter anyones mind. Now it is the norm.

I think the future of Esports is looking bright but its going to take the continued efforts of as many people as possible to raise the bar. Until we're producing content as quality as the stuff you see on ESPN, the outside world is not going to respect us like they do them.

Have you ever used your famous "I'm going to nydus your main" pick-up line successfully?

This line works every time. And if they look confused, not worth your time!

I just found out Dodger is a girl-has anyone told her yet?

Its a secret we've been keeping from her since the beginning. Please do not screw this up for us.

Do you ever plan on going to some other country, for extended amounts of time? Like Khaldor or Tastless/Artosis?

I will most likely not move out of the USA unless something unpredictable happens. I enjoy where I'm at in life right now as well as the people I'm around to uproot and start over.

I do really want to visit Sweden and Korea though :)

What is the greatest game/series you have ever casted? What made this so great?

Probably the finals of the HDH invitational. It was Whitera vs Idra and its hard to really convey the atmosphere of that whole tournament.

If I recall correctly the HDH was one of the first 'big' prize pool tournaments (at that time only a couple grand) and the underdog in the series ended up taking the whole thing.

What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?

Vanilla.

I tend to like the 'simple' versions of things. Cheese pizza, cheese burger ketchup only, etc.

Its the simple things in life, I suppose!

whats raywilliamjohson like in real life?

I'm going to be completely honest here and dont care what anyone who hasn't met him has to say about it.

I fucking LOVE ray in real life.

I personally dont watch his videos (have seen some of course) but he has such a good attitude when it comes to business that it blows my mind.

The main thing I like about him is he doesnt fuck anyone over but doesnt let anyone fuck him over as well. His work ethic is insane (makes a ton of songs, weekly videos, vlogs, etc and keeps on going) and he just all around kicks ass.

I've been to a couple house parties that he's at (casual stuff with friends) and I'm just always impressed with how put together he is. Say what you want about his videos but he's a very smart guy.
