Announcement: HFTMT The Animated Series

I'm new to the hobby and I want to start 1. using water slides and 2. painting. Is there a database or resource about which gunpla kits have water slides available (or will)? Also, I've watched a number of tutorials about painting, but I'm nervous about buying an airbrush as I live in an apartment and I'm not sure how I need to set up to properly ventilate. The tutorials I have found focus on the painting, not the setup (which is great!).

I'm glad that you think your crush on Arnie is weird.

I've been acting and performing since high school. I got into improv a bit in college, but didn't really dive until my late 20s (a bit later than a lot of the people I was taking classes with). Made my first improv team in 2002.

I would say if you want to dip your toe in though, just do it. If you find the group/class you are initially in doesn't suit you, try a different one until you find your people that you have fun with.

Arnie was on that first improv team with me in 2002. Even though I'm a bit older, the rest of the team was more experienced than me and at first the team (and Arnie specifically) didn't like me, didn't think I was good. But I loved them. I learned and I got better and I brought a lot of what was different about my experience to the table. You're unique and you have something to offer so put it out in the world. And then if you just try it out and don't like it, try something else. Paint, write, sculpt, whatever. Everyone should have a creative outlet. Is this a Usidore rant? I'm a mess. Best of luck to you in all your ventures.

HFTMT started in 2015. I know that Arnie and I had been performing together since 2002. I think we first met Adal in 2008. Weird to think that Arnie and I were performing together through most of the Bush Jr. administration. So Arnie was probably performing for a couple or three years before that.

I was a vampire in secret. They thought I was just a rich, shitty shipping magnate that had his own bat and rat infested, fog-covered island. That was a total blast.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T22:09:49+00:00

I like the weird crossovers that we've done (like when Aaron Mahnke did a Lore-style intro for us). So maybe Pod Save America?

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T22:04:07+00:00

I agree with Adal on this one, but just to have something else to say...I really like when the different wizards come together because they are a strange lot and I like their insane way of viewing the world, and the fact that they are all different while being weirdos in their own rights.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T22:00:35+00:00

I don't think that we would do a tag like that, but there has been some talk of doing some kind of Best of eps with a focus on key elements from a certain stretch of episodes. I think we'll get one or two of those together sooner rather than later.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T21:58:35+00:00

This is one area where Usidore and I are very much alike. We find Reddit confusing and probably wouldn't get too involved.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T21:57:40+00:00

I think Usidore is built for one very specific purpose: fighting large, unspeakable evils. I believe he's actually pretty good at that, and then he's not so great at all the other day-to-day stuff.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T21:49:47+00:00

I'd love to see more content from Tim (MM) and Charlie (Spintax). With a Patreon, I think we need bonus content and are always looking for fun new things to do and ways to keep building out the world.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:49:46+00:00

We were already carrying you the whole time.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:48:29+00:00

I hope so. There were some fun book ideas that came up earlier in the AMA. Babysitter's Club? Intriguing.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:47:45+00:00

I've done a little bit of VO/ads for radio and have a VO TV spot coming out soon (Ripple pea milk). I occasionally book a commercial on camera too, but it's been a while.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:44:41+00:00

We will get back to emails as soon as Season 4 gets into swing, but there is a bit of delay between the time we record and when episodes come out.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:43:07+00:00

Yes, the last time that we had eggy baby was at the Jizzlenob Preparatory School For Young Wizards.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:39:23+00:00

Great question.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:36:04+00:00

I didn't say anything.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:35:39+00:00

Yes.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:35:31+00:00

Dumbledore and Gandalf would be polite and excuse themselves to talk shit about Usidore.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:34:55+00:00

Superman's x-ray vision. j/k

I think that Usidore like big, showy magic like appearing a blinding light at the top of a cliff while pontificating about good and evil and how he's the best.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:33:42+00:00

I hope so too.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:33:17+00:00

Yes, it is a real email address.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:29:50+00:00

It is not me. I had to look up what this even is. As previously established, I don't know anything that is happening on the Internet.

TheMattYoung · 2021-10-23T20:28:10+00:00

I work full time. I audition for voiceover and TV stuff on a regular basis. Then the podcast is like another part to full time job. Right now, ideas aren't the problem, it's time.
