I didn't think this was possible...

[@ErekLadd]

Please leave some questions for me below and I will get to them in a future video!! (sorry for the clickbait title 😅)

[@Emelenyt]

No need to apologise for the title... we gotta play the game, right? 😂

[@DillaryHuff]

How long have you been playing guitar for? Assuming all of those guitars aren't there for show 😅 Also, what kind of music do you normally listen to?

[@ErekLadd]

@@DillaryHuff I've already filmed my Q&A I'm sorry but I will answer you here! I've been playing for about 20 years now! My fave genre for the last few years is Japanese Fusion Jazz. Bands like T-Square & Casiopea have really been a favorite for me. Highly recommend checking them out!

[@DillaryHuff]

@@ErekLadd Ah! Well, thanks for responding anyway :) That's an interesting genre. I might check those bands out!

[@nishquikpops]

Congratulations on 10k subs!! My question is how did you get started in audio production and what are some of the transferable skills from that profession that you practice as a content creator?

[@KenzalbeeXtreme]

Congrats dude! I'm seriously so happy for you! You honestly have worked so hard and it's so deserved! Question: If you could bring one American snack item over to Australia permanently, what would it be and why?

[@SuperDerek]

Heck yeah brother! Way to go Erek!

[@TheGamingShelf]

Hell yeah man congrats 👊😎 I admire your consistency. I’m so bad at it 😂

[@chickenfillets]

Question - Weirdest moment in your KZbin/ Twitching time

[@bonsaijax1134]

Great work Erek!! With your high quality content, consistency and professional touch, you're well on the way to 100K!!

[@gabegoforth]

Congrats, Erek! I tuned in to you about a year ago, and have really enjoyed everything that you've put out. Keep up the awesome content, man.

[@Emelenyt]

Absolutely massive well done to you Erek! I'm glad I came across your channel this year through your Final Fantasy content. Very excited to see what's next for you!

[@Aerikosred]

Congrats Erik! 🎉 I subscribed awhile ago and happy to see your base expand. Side note : I really dig your toque🇨🇦and glasses look. On point😎 Greetings from Canada 🍁

[@SimplyAJ]

This is super awesome dude, congrats, seriously. Don't stress the self-indulgence. You worked hard, reached a milestone, and you're fully entitled to celebrate and be happy with your own accomplishments. Lookin' forward to what ya make next!

[@keiyangoshin3650]

Hi Erek! I’m quite new to your channel so I have a 10000 questions lol. 😂 First of all, congratulations on reaching this milestone! 🎉 Your hard work and determination paid off! 👍 I noticed behind you several beautiful guitars! What’s your musical background? Are there videos of you playing guitar I should/could watch? 😋 Thank you for your time and here’s to the next 10k! 👍

[@djbawb]

Keep kicking ass dude! Biggest congratulations are in order!

[@jacobwebb5371]

Always appreciated your energy and way of delivering content.

[@enriqueeduardovazquezdomin511]

Congratulations again. Having 10k people to care about your opinion in something it's by itself a major accomplishment. Now my question: How do you deal with your backlog? Do you have like a special plan, tactic, routine or something to address it or it is just something that doesn't bother you at all and you just handle it randomly? I know having a backlog is hard -almost impossible- thing to complete but having a backlog with mostly JRPG's (like my own backlog) it's a pretty crazy thing to accomplish. Anyway, thanks for the good content, keep it up!

[@kodychristian]

Amazing work dude! Well deserved!

[@LessThanSarah]

I’ve been terrible about staying up to date with videos because life 😫 but congratulations!!

[@Shinky]

Congratulations Erek! This is huge and you absolutely deserve it. As for my question: If you could square dance with any video game character, who would it be?

[@chrisdillon8376]

Congrats on 10k! Q: What brought you to Australia?

[@adam_loooong]

Been here since DKR - dont plan on leaving anytime soon. Congrats man - you deserve this!!

[@reid9462]

Super happy for you dude! As for a question, if you had to pick, which track or theme from any game's OST gets you the most emotional?

[@jackDaddy23]

You're a great creator man! >>My question is, if you could wipe your memory just to play ONE game for the first time again, what would you pick and why?

[@quacc_]

You are the best 🎉 Q: What’s your opinion on Donkey Kong Country 2 and is it secretly your favorite game 😂

[@nerdzomnia]

Nah, man. You put up great content. This was possible from the beginning and is coming your way since. Keep it up!

[@feiitogaming]

Congrats again Erek! Your videos are simply fantastic and you work so hard, so it was just a matter of time until you reach that 10k milestone! Really happy for you. As for my question: If you were a JRPG protagonistm which weapon would you want to weild?

[@brettrogames]

So happy to see it! Keep it up brother

[@femtrooper]

First of all, CONGRATS! So well deserved! Your content is really good and well thought out so this is awesome news! For your Q&A: What video game character are you having dinner with? And! What are some JRPG series or games you just can’t seem to get into / don’t like?

[@rawaali8451]

Hi man congrats! You need to play some more JRPGs like Dragon quest, Nier, Kiseki Series and so on. Coming from someone who FF is his favourite series

[@HunnterM]

I am very happy for you and that you had good news.I was a bit worried lol.I will toss you a few questions that I hope seem like fun questions to answer. 1:With the fan community being mixed on FF16 because of its battle system,would you like FF17 to continue with a more experimental battle system or play it safe? 2:If square enix decides to take inspiration from the fighting game genre and add guest characters to final fantasy,who would you like to see? 3:If you could have any fellow KZbinr on your channel as a guest,who would you like to collaborate with? 4:If you could have a sequel to any final fantasy game,which would you pick? I don't expect you to answer all my questions but I hope you find at least one of them fun to answer.

[@danm3099]

Congrats man, you deserve it!

[@bloodless653]

Congrats on reaching this milestone, Erek! You certainly deserve it, and much more in my opinion. Keep up the great work, bro!

[@BearWolf925]

Freaking fantastic dude! Sorry I haven't been around for like a year 😅 but I'm so happy for you! So much love from Arizona dude!❤

[@joshuab4042]

congrats! just subbed a few days ago! My question: What is a dream/Ideal rpg (any team, any budget, any size) that hasn't been made yet you would like to see?

[@N3RDCULTURE]

Q: Recently, I’ve had a resurgence of love for retro text-based RPGs. Are there any games of that genre that you’ve played and enjoyed?

[@mechaotakugamer]

Oh yeah Dude I'm super happy for you. Keep up the amazing work covering jrpgs.

[@AustinJEller]

You deserve it man. Here's to 100K! Here's my question for you, how does it feel to be a rich and famous KZbinr? In all seriousness, is there a game you loved as a kid and still love now, even though it's arguably a bad or mediocre game?

[@Mysticalodyssey007]

Congrats. Looking forward to more content

[@After12G]

Congrats to you mate! Hardest worker I know. Will be here when you reach 100k as well. Congrats again! -Ted

[@Fitz0fury]

Congrats man

[@itsMEADOWS]

Let's gooooo! 1. What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you? 2. What's the most awkward client/customer interaction you've had across all your various jobs?

[@melarch]

Well deserved! Congratulations Erek!! Glad you're able to do this and other people are able to see your content and i love to watch you grow! Cheers

[@XionYetora]

Much congrats my friend! This is an honor well deserved! Question: if you could team up with any composer (or composers) to make your dream sound track who would it be?

[@MemeNess]

As I told you in the community post, congrats again. Been a pleasure watching you grow, and I think this is a major breakthrough on your way to 100k someday. Like you said at 0:54, it's a community being built and I'm here for it. 10K subs let's gooooo!

[@madkaiser4887]

Congrats on 10K subs again, also had me going with that title. As for questions, if there is one JRPG you would love to recommend a newcomer who's never experienced one in their life to play, what game would that be and why?

[@RPGStory]

Wow you were so fresh faced 😁 congrats on the milestone! Question: As time passes as you're getting older has your opinions or impressions of RPGs changed as a result?

[@theoneguy420]

Congrats! For a question how about What character theme is your favorite? *Edit: Just cause I didn't want any confusion I meant music not archetype, but an answer to either one would be cool.

[@Mc_Toasty]

Congrats Erek!

[@sixsixjd]

It's about damn time! Well deserved but we all know you should be bigger than 10k. Question when are you going to play Ys haha

[@GenerationPixel]

That thumbnail! I thought you were going to say you finally grew to love the FFVIII levelling system 😉

[@RwnEsper]

Congratulations dude! Q: Who in the KZbin community would your dream collab be with?

[@chickenfillets]

Easy answer - chicken fillets hahahaha

[@uppernimbus]

You scared me with that title and thumbnail for a second, I thought you had bad news to share 🤣 Congratulations on 10k subs! I'll drop another comment in due time with a question for your upcoming Q&A 🎉

[@kingnoahthethird6689]

here’s a question: do you play any monster catcher pokémon style games?

[@CourtheadIsCool]

Congrats, bro!

[@lswhere40]

Congratulations! I feel like your more recent stuff has been a huge level up compared to your old stuff! You've definitely earned it! Congrats, again!

[@wizcatcheslightning]

Congratulations man!

[@travisflint7616]

Congrats Erek! I've really enjoyed your videos since I found your channel, so it's great to see you hit the milestone, especially considering you are so engaging with your fans. It's been great to keep up with your stuff while I'm on my FF run (Just finished FF15 last weekend). I don't know if you've ever done a top ten favourite FF characters video, but if not, I'd love to see it.

[@RayKentman]

congrats man on your 10k milestone keep up the great work

[@grahfkarate1799]

You recently did a video of jrps you haven’t played yet. What if you had to pick 1 to play right now what would it be?
