I want you to go wherever you can go.

yeah i mean like uh we had like all the early seasons of the simpsons on dvd and i think those got in my brain um i mean star wars all you know everything that was out at the time in like 2007 i ingested although i wouldn't like

I think those had a... I wouldn't consider myself a long-standing, huge, huge Star Wars fan, but growing up, I think that definitely was probably one of the early influences of science fiction.

Materially, I start getting really outwardly excited about stuff.

I started a trend of...

I guess I've actually had this my whole life, but I get really obsessed about specific things.

Like I find a thing, I latch onto it, and then it's my thing for like X amount of time.

And then now at this point, like when I was younger, it was like phases and I would grow out of them.

But now it's just like anything I get obsessed about, I kind of just hold onto it indefinitely and they just build into a big pile.

So I know Portal was kind of like when I played that for the first time, because I wasn't like,

I wasn't growing up, but like partially just because I wasn't, I mean, I was restricted in what I was, what I had access to, but I know everyone my age, it was like a rite of passage to be playing Minecraft.

And so that was like kind of a,

a baseline, a luxury I couldn't afford exactly.

Like, I didn't have any devices, and so I would have to go to friends' houses and stuff for that, and eventually I did get it.

I had a PlayStation 3 that one of our family friends gave us, and then I got LittleBigPlanet, and then I got Portal, because I played it at a friend's house one time, or I got Portal 2, and that's what sort of, I think, drove me absolutely insane.

I'm going to just keep citing Portal, and Portal 2 is the thing, because I love it so much, and

In terms of childhood, it was a big focal point.

Yeah, I kind of beat around the bush there on that question.

I think I started...
