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.

It makes sense why you would still hold a grudge against him for over a decade, though. He's more intelligent than you'll ever be, more creative, more skilled and talented at everything, and sees more financial success from posting videos on YouTube than you'll ever see from working your shitty day job, assuming you're even employed at all.

Some people here enjoyed playing with Uber. Great. But he was a dick in every interaction I had with him and those situations were made ever more rich by the fact that his "prowess" in EQ was in such contrast to his real life.

The idea that you would think you could extrapolate my short post into some sort of analysis would be perplexing if you didn't post so many other stupid fucking things.

That draw my life thing is sad. And by sad, I mean pathetic. You should ask yourself what it is about you that makes you identify with it. And if you get an answer, please do us all a favor and don't share it.

As for the "shitty day job blah blah blah", you couldn't be more wrong if this was one of your posts in one of the political threads you seem to like to embarrass yourself in.

Don't know him personally but I was guilded with "uberwolf" back in the day with unity. To me he came of as a nice guy, pleasant and quite genuinely funny.

He didn't play much past PoP so who knows he might enjoy playing some classic again

Yeah I mean, it's a nice thought but I don't think Stephen really has any interest in playing EverQuest in any form these days. I don't think he really wants the whole nostalgic immersion thing that most of us are here for. EverQuest to him represents not only some really awesome and amazing online experiences, but also the worst and most shitty period of his life during which he was severely depressed and unhealthy.

And as others have pointed out, he's a busy guy. His full-time job is making videos that span a variety of topics and issues, so he doesn't really have enough time to focus on just one thing. At most I think we'd be lucky to get an honorable mention from him in a YouTube video - an exposé type thing would be great for Project 1999, but there's really very little incentive for him to go down that road since I'm sure the majority of his viewer base wouldn't be down with it.

Another vid of his where he talks about everquest a bit. I also remember him on Prexus, grouped with him a few times I beleive. Was always entertaining in OOC.

I also don't think he'd come to P99. He's on to different things now.

In the McQuaid interview, he mentioned a reddit post I made. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
