I also remember playing with him on Prexus - I remember how he was very well-known simply for being a genuinely interesting and witty personality, as well as for being a very talented leader who knew the game dynamics extremely well.
And this was before he had the courage to post a photo of himself on his guild's message board - before unknown, unliked, non-contributing little shits like yourself had a field day attacking him for his obesity immediately thereafter. Despite this, he was more well-known than you have ever been in any community or social setting, online or otherwise, without showing anyone a single picture of himself.
But it wasn't EverQuest that brought him internet fame. It started with a character named Francis, which was a Cartmanesque caricature of himself behaving obnoxiously, which created for some really hilarious videos. He used the initial thrust of popularity and viewership that he obtained as Francis to start doing much more serious and compelling videos, some of which revolved around video games and some of which didn't. One of his most popular and engaging videos, Draw My Life, has more to do with his struggles in overcoming the challenges he's faced, such as obesity, than it has anything to do with video games. |
Wow holy crap I can even finish watching that before needing to come and post about what a cool guy it turns out he is. Man and he even writes Ding over every computer he draws.. Which I'm going to hope is a reference to EQ ^_^
Love this guys jeeze I wish we could get him on here.
