As the middle child and younger sister of a genius (like for real my older brother is qualified as a genius and is actually a scientist in the bio-medical field), my greatest fear is failure. Because of this I'm driven to succeed in as many things as I can and it really is a bit hard. I fight for good grades and as many degrees as I can just so I feel good enough to stand in my brother's shadow. I've been like this my entire life, so honestly the idea of failure is close to death to me. I'm also…

I've met several of my gaming friends IRL, and one of my best friends is actually someone I met on WoW 7 years ago. My entire guild actually met because one of our guildies was in a bad car accident and was in a comma. He was from the same state as me (Louisiana) so I helped get everyone down here to be there for him and his family. It was actually really great meeting everyone because we were all really close friends because of all the time we spent together online so it really didn't matter wh…

School Life
PostI'm a graduate student in English Literature so pretty much my entire life is school. Like seriously I work 8 hours a day, commute for 2, then do homework until I pass out with maybe an hour or 2 of me time that is spent on Youtube. The sad thing is that this isn't the end because I still need one more Masters Degree to do what I want to do! I'm an academic masochist.

So, if you're bored here are 2 surveys I made for my research study project on gaming and gaming communities. They're short and pretty to the point, so if you have the time and feel like helping out a little go for it. OR you could just answer this question: If you were a household appliance what you you be?

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Outside - Staind Saw both bands in concert, cried when they got to these songs. In the case of Staind I also cried later when I fell and bloodied up my knees in front of Aaron Lewis while running from a cop after I jumped a barricade. BUT I did get to hang out with Staind and talk to Aaron (then get a hug from him) while a medic finished ruining my jeans and made sure I wasn't seriously hurt.

First Kiss
PostSo, this will make me sound beyond terrible, but my first kiss was with one of my friend's boyfriends. They were fighting, I had always thought he was cute, we were talking, and he kissed me. BUT I was 12 so I don't think it really counted as cheating or anything like that. It wasn't the best though, that came later.

Thanks Marc. I'm actually a really nice person, like seriously I rescue animals, work for charities, and work at a university where I do most of my job for free just to help out the department. I'm from Louisiana so it's in my nature to apologize and cook for people if I feel like I've been mean. As for the project, I feel like it's about time there was some academic focus on gaming and the sense of community that comes with it. It's going to be a ton of work but I took it upon myself to make th…

I sort of made these posts more to get the attention of viewers and forum admins than I did to actually get the attentions of Cry and Pewds. I know they have tons of fans and I'm just one of the numbers like everyone else. I want the opinions of those like me that play games with friends, watch Lets Players, and talk to other people that watch and play. I knew Pewds and Cry wouldn't answer, but I also knew that you guys would.

You'll figure it out. Depression is a hard thing to deal with, I struggled with it and being bullied from junior high to high school and I just kept going forward because that's all I knew to do. Just take it a day at a time and find something to distract you. Start reading a new book series, watching a new show, anything that occupies your mind for a little while. Those little breaks can mean the world and maybe even give you some time to finally find yourself.

I feel like a loser!
PostIt takes a long time to realize it, but anyone that can make fun of you and hurt you that badly isn't a friend and you're really better off without them. You will find better friends that actually treat you like a friend, and though you're down now they'll be there to keep you up later on. Don't sweat it because you're better than them for not stooping to their level. Keep your head up bro, and remember that it is never a bad idea to turn to a teacher or adult for help or advice in cases like th…

Those of you who gave tips, Thanks so much, my project is really on the community, not Pewds. I just thought it would be interesting getting insight from the center of a community and I did find one Youtuber willing to help me, but I'll check out what you guys said as well, thanks. If any of you have channels and do playthroughs and you are interested in helping out just let me know and I'll check out your channel and post you around in the communities I am already working with. To those still t…

Wow, way to be bros being assholes and all that. It's an article for publication and a Grad project, and though I know I probably will get no responses from the Youtubers I've tried to contact I still thought it wouldn't hurt to try. I also thought it wouldn't hurt to try to gain some form of demographic or similar group reaction in a fan group but apparently people lack more tact than I give them credit for.
