Real life name: Josh Main Character name: Josgar Server: Unrest, Antonia Bayle, The Bazaar Guild: Deviance, Legion of Kithicor Length of Time Played: Since day one! Almost did not get it on the first day because of Halo 2's major release... Best Buy didn't know EQ2 was supposed to go on the shelf that day haha.

Where are you from?
North Texas

What do you do out of game?
Swimming

What started you in making videos of your ingame EQII adventures?
Dunno, I always wanted to make an EQ2 video, but none of the programs I tried were up to my standards... until now!

You've made some outstanding videos of EverQuest II... are they spur of the moment or are they pre-planned?
The random EverQuest II one was just me being carried around by my royal servants for fun... I swear they are not imaginary!. For the Timorous Deep video, I basically decided in about 5 minutes that it would be of Timorous Deep.

How long does it usually take to work on a video, from start to finish?
I did each of them in maybe 4 - 5 hours. (I do them on the weekends). The reason that these went fast is because I didn't plan them out ahead of time and they were just scenery shots. Whenever I decide to do something with dialog, it will probably take a LOT longer.

Do you undertake the making of a video with help of others, or is that all on your own shoulders?
I have tried to get my friends loyal subjects to come up with ideas, but I have not used any of them yet.

Are there any other future videos planned?
I am trying to come up with a comedy or something really epic xD, but I want it to be unique, but not a popular Youtube video rehash.

For those that are thinking on making game-movies, what advice might you have to ease them into it?
Well I was struggling to get fraps to work, until Elquinjena and Jethal suggested to use Game Cam. Game Cam light is a very easy tool to use and does NOT hog resources. Therefore, you do not have to drop your settings as much as you would have to with fraps. Is that too advertisey?

Nah.

Lightning Round!

Mountain or Beach? BOTH! Mountains have snow... and beaches have the warm sun. (And water, Yay swimming!)

Freeport or Qeynos? Both cities are not fit for High Elvish Life. However, I live in Qeynos because I am also too good to live in Felwithe... (They are afraid of my awesomeness so I chose to not live there. I also chose not to live in Kelethin, because the little Fae creatures believe that they are Tunare's new chosen race, but they are mistaken. High Elves will always be the chosen race.

Cats or Dogs? Cats, they are very arrogant and attention hogs... I don't know why that is appealing to me... I have never ever met anyone like that :O

Raiding or Grinding? I really haven't raided... so grinding!

Morning or Evening? Well, I like to stay up really late, which is bad since I have to wake up at about 5:30... So I am a forced morning person, but on weekends I am a night person. Unless you count 5:30 as so early it is night haha.
