Mr_Rippe

Dear Adam,

I have always respected your opinion on video games. You're blunt, honest, and were never afraid to shy away from speaking your mind and calling out bullshit in the industry. The forums seemed to hate you for a long time, but I never understood it. Why do you think they liked ripping you and Morgan apart (besides the fact that you were never afraid to point out glaring flaws in fan-favorite games)?

I started watching X-Play when Halo 2 came out and I was forced to stop several months later by my mother who did not understand gaming journalism. You guys were the primary reasons I got into gaming as a culture rather than a hobby. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being you.

Agreed. This AMA is seriously dangerous for people who hate the important psych meds they're on. While I'm inclined to draw a parallel between this line of thinking and the anti-vaccine crowd, it's unfortunate that this line of thinking is very wide-spread and not talked about at all.

I'm on psych meds for the rest of my life. I know people who are on medication for both short- and long-term treatment. Hell, I was on a cycle of benzos during a particularly brutal month last year. I got off them under a doctors supervision once I was done emotionally healing. Hopping off them early would have been catastrophic.

I suppose this AMA isn't all bad considering the outpouring of skepticism/complaints/confrontation towards this person's preachings.

On your trip to Mount Doom: Who had the most injuries/blisters/wounds at the end of it?

On working at Roosterteeth: What does Nathan do?

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 set off a chain reaction that lead to World War 1, the rise of Hitler, World War 2, the Cold War, America becoming the most powerful nation on Earth, the military industrial complex, and late-stage capitalism consuming the western world. Would you say the assassin, Gavrilo Princip, is the most important person in the first half of the 20th century, or would we have inevitably reached this current point before the year 2100?

Have you interacted with Vic Mignogna? What is your opinion on the everything that's coming out about him?
