Are you a hero?

No, I'm not. Is anyone who isn't like... a firefighter or something totally morally unambiguously good really a hero? And even then, who's to say the firefighter isn't morally grey in their actions outside the fighting of fires?
What if their hobby is shitting in the middle of the floor in public restrooms? What if that is how they celebrate saving a life from the red-hot clutches of burning death?
Are they a hero?

do you/did you have a good relationship with your parents?

I have a good one with them now but I was definitely one of those "act out"-y teens.

Every time I accidentially do something wrong i feel like i am going to go to hell. I dont know why i always have that feeling. How do you think I can overcome that?

I'm not saying this because I think you should change or because I'm intolerant of your beliefs, I'm saying this because it helped me: I feel that believing in hell doesn't help people, it messes them up.
If you meant figurative hell, though, I can probably offer very little. This is an issue a therapist should help you with, because it's likely complex and built on something that happened specifically to you in your life.
What caused it for me is religion, and I've worked pretty hard to get past that. I don't below that guilt is healthy, I think it's a feeling you experience when you can't fix something you're responsible for. Except you can fix it, and it probably wasn't black and white "your fault." We play the blame game more heavily with ourselves than anyone else, more often than not incorrectly so.
I mean, is it healthy to feel bad overt doing something terrible? Yeah, probably. But the vast majority of what we feel very guilty over is not a murder. It's like... Forgetting to start dinner on time. Just start it now. Feeling bad about it doesn't get dinner cooked.

So you would only be in a movie for the money, and not for the thrill of just being in a movie in the first place?

This is probably in reasons to the Paul Blart question... Honestly if I wasn't writing it, I wouldn't feel like I owned my character, so it would matter less to me. I'd like to have fun with it, of course, and it would be a valuable experience.
But it would be stupid of me not to put my family first in that case. Yes, money would be a big motivating factor is neon in a Paul Blart movie. I would obviously do my best, but hell.
I don't know if you realize I don't come from money at all. Having even what is considered bad pay for a very successful family film would be amazing for us.

Which do you like more, Adventure Time or Regular Show?

Definitely Adventure Time, and I feel like that says something about me as a person. I love the random humor but I love the deep, dark, & unsettling tone and world.

I don't know what it is, but Sonic Lost World for the 3DS is so hard!! How long did it take you to get really good at any Sonic game??

I'm not sure I'm really that good, I just have all the old games basically memorized. Especially S3&K. It took a long time. When PlayWithPeter comes back, S3&K as Knuckles will likely be the first game I record. I love those games.

Who is a better actor, Will Smith or Will Ferrell?

Will Smith. He has a huge range and it's always convincing. I mean look at his argument with a mannequin in I Am Legend. Saying that out loud makes it seem comedic, but it's actually brilliant acting. It's the point in film that his pretend conversions stop being funny, because of how unnerved you'd be if one of them moved. It's believable, which is a big achievement in that kind of movie.

How do I tell a guy I like him?

This goes for a guy or girl liking a guy or girl. Ask to speak with them, that it's personal and you need a few minutes one on one. When speaking, directly say you have feelings for them. You don't have to act like you think you're a confident "stud" out that it's a gift you are coming forward with, it will feel exposing because it is. If they don't feel the same way back, please respect it. If they do or don't, you just saved yourself an endless amount of crappy young person stereotype experiences.
And if they do, you both know without a shadow of a doubt that you both like each other because you were direct therefore they will respond direct. If they don't, again, respect their feelings. You do like them and that means you want them to be happy. Let them know that if that it's the case. There is no reason you can't be friends if you handle it the right way. But if you end up "just friends" please remember you like them, which means that their friendship is not a loss but every bit as much a victory as any other positive thing in your life.
They may also need time to think because it hadn't occurred to them something with you was even a possibility. Obviously don't force the issue ever. Being direct doesn't mean being a jerk. If they need time, let them take it without pressure. It could mean anything so do not make assumptions. People often need time to process things.
Remember, this person is a separate entity. They may have an intuitive thought about your feelings, they may have no idea. There is no reason to mess with their feelings and your own by doing stupid things. Just say what you feel and don't act like a salesperson. You can take no for an answer because supposedly this person's thoughts and feelings matter.
I hope that made sense!

Do gingers have souls?

That really depends on if souls are a thing or not. My money is on no. But that means I don't have one and neither do you. Not just gingers.

i was at a party last night and the song Marry The Night came on. Well my friends thought it would be a fun idea to take turns singing parts of it. When it was my turn, I started to sing your parody Internet Fight! I was so embarrased. But its not my fault the parody is better than the actual song!!

I love that song actually, I don't always like the songs I parody but I am a pretty big fan of Lady Gaga. I will say she's quite the idiot sometimes (appropriates culture like crazy, deflects legitimate criticism a lot) but great music.

When are you going to do an AMA?

What exactly do you think that will do? I'm not too keen to have a ton of people harassing me for no real reason again.

How does it feel to be the coolest 30 year old on You Tube?

Oh hush. I am not cool. I just try not to be a douche. Some people think I fail pretty hard, but thank you for thinking otherwise.
