Mauling Matt

[Matt]

Dear Matt,

Potatoes: Boiled, roasted, mashed, chips or crisps?
Steak: Rare, mid-rare, medium, mid-well, well done?
Alcohol: Beer, spirits etc?

Also also, would you prefer to be able to write really good sketches at the cost of poor acting or be a great actor but poor writer. Not necessarily for just LRR.

Potatoes: Mashed with sour cream& cream cheese, then baked. Followed closely by Baked with the works.

Steak: blue rare.

Alcohol: Beer

For LRR, and what I want to do as a career, I feel like I'd get more mileage out of being a really good writer. That said, if I was a hollywood calibre actor, I could make a mint.

Favorite Ella Fitzgerald Songbook?

Also, how do you like your eggs?

I'm going with Duke Ellington, because I know the name.

Over easy.

According to Twitter you're cooking spaghetti. What is your favourite kind of pasta, and what is the best way to prepare it?

Big fan of stuffed manicotti.

my favorite simple pasta recipe is from the Spaghetti Factoy though.

Spaghetti tossed in browned butter and covered in Myzithra cheese.

Dear on the team Matt,

Who do you consider to be on the LRR Main cast, who is falls under "critical B-team support" and who has recently fallen off the main or B team because they moved away or have lives.

Who if anyone do you miss making videos with?

I consider the theam to be represented basically the way it has been since Alex went on to do his thing.

"A team": Graham, Paul, Me, James, Jer.

"B Team": Tally, Cam, Ray, Alex, Ash, Kate etc.

I tend to think of Jer as an "A" team member on haiatus, whereas I tend to percieve Alex as having "left" the team - but I'm not sure why that is. I should probably think about that, that's not right. Probably has to do with how long Jer was heavily involved.

My goal, when I go to school is to remain "on the A team" just "on haiatus" like Jer.

No Kathleen?

Dear Matt Lover Supreme with Cheese.

Would you ever go vegetarian?

I would LOVE to go vegetarian, but I just don't have the determination to do it. I am extremely dubious of the ethics of eating meat, but it just tastes so fucking good.

Dear Matt the Man,
What are some of your favorite mtg cards? You can like them for any reasons be it that you like the art work or you like it's ability.

Deathless angel was a damn workhorse in my old angels deck. Easily a favourite card.

Angelic Destiny is a current favourtie for art.

Dear Matt who knows him,

The point of these threads is to get answers to questions, even silly answers. You dont skip questions why does James?

Clearly because I am way cooler and more devoted to our fans.

Do you think your new avatar might override the message of your sig in the minds of people?

[beramode0]

Daaaaw well Matt,
does your boss know what you do at work?

Dear Mr. Matt,

Thanks for posting that picture from The Raccoons. Just a couple of weeks back I was trying to remember what that character was from, but all I could remember was his general appearance and, for whatever reason, that he had a son name Cedric. I remember having a VHS with a bunch of Christmas specials that I'd watch every year, and The Raccoon's one was one of my favourites.

I guess I should have a question here, huh? Alright. Ever been trying to remember something and than had your memory jogged coincidentally?

And on the topic of raccoons, do you have any stories about memorable run-ins with wildlife?

[Kapol]

Mr. Doctor Matt, How would you define a 'brony?' There is a reason I ask this.

I don't hate or love the show myself. To use my go-to definition of how I feel about it, I like it enough where I want to watch the rest but not enough to ever bring myself to do so. But one of the most annoying things is some of the fandom. It's not like I look down at people for liking the show. But, for myself, I think of 'bronies' as being the more 'bad example' members rather then anyone who like the show. I just consider those people who like the show, which I belong to as well. Hence why I'm curious as to how you personally define what a 'brony' is.

Dear Matthew Patel.

Would you consider you or any of the LRR crew to be on the verge of hipster territory?

Dear Matt,
Welcome to the world of Pokemon. Are you a boy or a girl?

Dear Matt Matty Matthew Matthias DiMatteo

Is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy a compelling argument for obtaining a 3DS?

[Gap Filler]

Ever clipped someone in the head with a boom? Ever been clipped in the head by someone else with a boom?

M. Wiggins
Quelle est votre opinion sur les manifestations universitaires du Québec?

Mr Wiggins
What is your opinion on the Quebec university protests?

happens occasionally, but I can't think of a specific recent example.

and raccoons will occasionally ransack our trash cans if we don't get the lids on tight enough.

What are your best (cutest?) and worst (scariest?) run-ins with wildlife?

Hence why I'm curious as to how you personally define what a 'brony' is.

I consider a brony to be any person who actively participates in the fandom and/or considers their enjoyment of the show/participation in the fandom to be an important or defining part of their identity.

(And don't think I'm not aware of the irony inherent in using a RD avatar and as my phone background while simultaneously implying that I don't consider the show an important part of my identity)

I tend to passively consume certain elements of the fandom (memes and reaction images mostly), but find myself so skeezed out by so much of the more core elements of the fandom (art/fanfic/clop) as well as the continued casual bigotry introduced by the 4chan element, and I just feel like I have to distance myself from it.

Maybe it's unfair to the other fans, but I hear the word "brony" I think of a 20-something unwashed manchild neckbeard in a fedora and a black trenchcoat jerking it to rarity/twilight fanart, and that isn't something I want to be associated with. at all.

And in truth, the "well-adjusted" portion of the fanbase (though I know they exist) aren't nearly visible enough to offset this negative stereotype. I look at pictures from bronycon, or various brony meetups and just think to myself, "I don't want anything to do with that."

Which is a shame.
