Q: Did you hear of/play GW1 and what was your experiences/ your impressions? What is your earliest memory if so?
A: I tried it once but I just couldn't get into it. The Human-centric aspect of it was too much of a barrier. It was alright but just wasn't for me *hides from the GW1 fans*

Q: Did you/are you playing other MMO's? What attracted you to them?
A: WOW is my other MMORPG and my first. I also have a lil flame for Wildstar. As I like to Corvus I have loved Warcraft Lore for almost as long as he has been alive so its a deep part of me lol ;p I frankly just love the genre overall, the customizing and idea that the game world just keeps going and changing story wise never really ending.

Q: When did you start playing GW2 and what got you involved in the game itself?
A: I started playing GW2 about four or more months after its launch. I fell in lurve with the Charr, for many reasons and they are still one of the most distinct Races in all of MMORPG land. The "cat races" of other MMOs are pale jokes in comparison. That kind of attention to detail got me seriously hooked as well as doing away with the whole Raid thing which I never liked.

Q:What have you enjoyed about GW2 and what has kept you playing?
A: This is very similar to the last question but no sub fee and having the whole game open unlike a lot of other "free 2 play" games has always been a strong point for GW2. And I love how well the devs have grown to communicate with the community.

Q:What has been your favourite memory of GW2?
A: This has to be the conclusion to the destruction of LA and the Tower of Nightmare, it was quite an experience in all my years of video games to see all that play out.
Q: What class do you main/ What is your least liked class and why?
A: I find it so hard to narrow down on a class and with the elites coming out I gotta wait for them to come out. But for now It would be Elementalist and Warrior and Ranger. My least fav is the Engi, I just can't get into it. Ironic since I love all things Charr I know lol

Q: What is your preferred game mode/Have you been drawn to any other modes?
A: Only PVE.
A: Only PVE.
Q:What is your opinion on the lore of the game?
A: LOVE IT. I can go on quite a lot with the Charr but overall something I really appreciate is the courage to delve into the religions of the races. If you are making a race that thinks like we do and all fictional races have to given we are all Humans, to ignore what a race believes spiritually is a big oversight. Good or bad belief systems are a major aspect of any race and Arenanet has done a great job in from how the Humans and their strange gods to the Charr and their atheistic-like "Humanist" or "Charrist" beliefs and the Norn and their Nature Spirits to the Hylek. The conflict the Hylek will have with each other is one of things I am looking forward to most.

Q: How do you feel about the upcoming expansion HoT?
A: I am pretty dang excited. I love how compared to the mega huge BlizzCons it felt so low key but intimate and loved how they celebrated the no grind/gear treadmill ideal. I was VERY impressed by their unique approach to end game character progression and the idea of the Elite specializations. And am freaking out about our character talking again. Voice acting because of my vision limitations has always been one of my fav parts of any video game. HoT will truly be a new kind of expansion and all of us just do not know what to expect and that is pretty dang awesome!

Q: Is there a place, theme or person you would want new content to include?
A: I want to see what the other Charr homelands are like and to just have their Lore explored more, I feel like we have only been given a glimpse of what they are really all about.

Q: What do you speculate as the next possible race?
A: Everyone wants Tengu and so do I, but Arenanet really could do almost anything. Tho given how many things the Tengu have going for them I am hopeful they will be playable after HoT.

Q: How did you get started with the community, what inspired you to get involved?
A: I remember following Guildcast with BogOtter and company and loving it as a great place to get news and views of the game. When it sadly ended I had come across Aurora Peachy and sent an email via youtube asking if she might want to make our own lil gw2 cast and she actually wrote back and was up for it. GG has been my major experience of interacting with a game community and it has been pretty great!

Q: Why do you think GW2 has such a great community around it?
A: I truly do believe the no sub has been a big part and also the "no tab targeting" not sure if that is the right term, but being able to run up to random groups, help with killing mobs and being able to get loot and expansion by doing so went a LONG way from hating to see other players to loving to see them. It has taken WOW ten years to finally implement a weaker version of this which boggles my mind.

Q: What changes (if at all) have you seen in the community since you started playing GW2?
A: The community feels like it has grown substantially from gw2 launch and especially so once the expansion pack was announced. The shared anticipation and excitement is very infectious and feels quite unique amongst the mmo landscape.

Q: Why did you choose your particular format [Youtube/Twitch/Blogs ect]?
A: I love how readily and easily the youtube is able to connect people. A lot of things I am into could use it as a fantastic medium just to get it out here.

Q: How much does the audience and community influence your production/creations?
A: I am taking a break from making vids as I want the right software/accessories to do it properly and to the quality I want. But when I went back I tend to just make what I want.

Q: Do you have any advice for people wanting to follow in your footsteps?
A: I do not consider my footsteps very big, but I could give advice I would say to just DO IT, if you have an opinion throw it out there.

Q: Do you play anything else which you make content for?
A: WOW and once Wildstar goes free to play maybe that too.
