VEDA 2014: Q&A with MPA

[@allieatwood]

I like that you take the time to answer each question instead of trying to fit as many as you can into the video and rushing through them

[@Ganges172]

Yeah, definitely one of the best Q&A videos I've ever seen here.

[@magicaeart]

I am very thankful for your videos, they're sorta soothing to watch somehow. I currently have a cold and don't want to move, so thanks for the company!

[@MsLCgirl88]

Michael, when you said thank you, I felt like you meant it. It's the first time that I felt this way about any KZbinr. I watch many other KZbinrs, and whenever they thanked their audience, even sincerely, I never felt like I was included. Maybe that's because I rarely comment on the videos that I watched, so I don't feel like I'm a part of the community, but when you said it in this video, I actually felt as if you were thanking me personally. Anyway, you're welcome :) You're a very talented person, and I enjoy watching your videos. Sorry if this post is weird and doesn't make much sense.

[@Loughyhy6n07]

makes perfect sense. I really like this guy. Make more videos, Michael! VEDA has been a gift. Even if you skip a week.

[@iliveinmyhead]

It comforts me when I hear that successful people can be unproductive too.

[@lostismyconstent]

Yeah for Q&A! John and Hank are the reason I was introduced to the wondrousness of the youtubes. I created a channel and subscribed the same day I saw Hank's Accio Deathly Hallows when my friend showed it to me back in 2007. I miss vloggers like Johnnydurham19. I don't know boh3m3 but I do have some pretty strong feelings about the old YT and what it's become now and that is one of the main reasons I stay subscribed to you and John and Hank; you are holding on to the community and interactive aspect of the old YT. I miss the PEOPLE and their ART on YT, not just these characters people create to get the most views. I won't dissolve into the rant I've had many times with people, but basically I want to keep the YOU in KZbin at the forefront and I appreciate when people like you are willing to keep it there.

[@icarryourheartwithme]

if you made a video with 200 questions i would absolutely hands down no questions asked watch the whole dang thing. if you ever wanted to of course~ and just want you to know i've been watching your videos for five years and been subscribed for a good three or four and out of every channel i've ever been into yours is the only one i still watch today. you just straight up communicate with people and i think it's friggin great. thanks for sharing with us :)

[@Swetlana0]

Did that punch hurt?

[@JustLukeJohnson]

Boh3m3 was my first subscription as well. He was so awesome back in the day, I went through and watched ALL of his videos.

[@emnicole8409]

I'm not sure if you read these, but I just thought I'd let you know that you are probably the most inspiring KZbinr to me. Sure, I love Charlie and John and hank but you have a way with words that makes me want to create things like you do. So thank you for that(: x

[@AriellaHybrid]

That 22 hours awake 14 hours asleep pattern is literally my life whenever I'm on break

[@HeyGuysItsMichaela]

i've never dreaded the end of april so much in my life...

[@WispWarbler]

Ah, Michael, you are one of my favourite KZbinrs. I love your feeling about art. :)

[@TheBlueastrosailor]

You're welcome :) I get most excited when I see you have uploaded

[@illyxxolicnaxim]

Thank you for thanking us for watching : )

[@jessaryansutter9902]

I really appreciate how grateful and aware you are of your viewers.. I also just love how you talk-- you seem so unhurried, it's really lovely. Keep it up :)

[@rallypacific]

Your 'nap' after the shower 'bit' was truly hilarious…I could barely stop laughing for minutes.

[@reeft]

Can you talk a bit about some of the Windows widgets that you use. I rarely see KZbinrs who are not using a Mac and I think it would be interesting. You always seem very productive with a very streamlined work ethic and environment.

[@TooManyInformation]

W00T! I got my question answered! I totally agree. I do a lot of drawing and it took a lot of time just making art for me to develop a style that was uniquely my own. My art professor refers to it as "finding your mark." I can see a lot of you in your style, and I appreciate that it grew organically. Thanks for answering my question!

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

These Q&A vids are great!

[@ameliorated]

It must be way too early in the morning here, after you said the P stood for Peter I wondered for the rest of the video what the M and A were.

[@JillH1995]

You're welcome, Michael. Thank you for making such awesome content for me to watch.

[@notacidnoralkaline]

You're one of my favourite youtubers, I'll always have time for you!

[@xylophon1520]

Clicked on video link, was disappointed by lack of promised nackedness, but pleasantly surprised by that Alex Day song. I always liked your remix best. And good to see you still do VEDA every once in a while ;)

[@misanthropistbookworm]

I'm definitely gonna continue watching your videos because I love your voice, I love your style and I find them very interesting. :D

[@janakhabouri8271]

why do these videos have to end

[@Waterflame]

I hit the thumbs up button after the first 15 seconds. :) I always enjoy good production elements!

[@hilaryhowser5027]

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear someone else shares my Krave sadness. I'm a cereal-obsessed nutella-addict. Kellogs needs to step their game up in the US.

[@vickers5941]

the sound the "veda 2014" makes always cracks me up ^^

[@caityclancy6676]

I remember Boh3m3! I loved him back in the day. Remember his feud with Phil DeFranco?

[@FantashticIdeas]

Exactly the same thing happens to me once I'm in and out of the shower. I have a surge of creativity and then once I hop out, I'm totally tired. :P Hope you have a wonderful day, Michael and good luck with the rest of VEDA and editing. You have a lot of responsibilities. How do you balance all of your work with time to relax?

[@catherinesvideos156]

Michael Aranda with rainbow colored toes - now that's a 3 am P4A perk if ever I heard one.

[@PaulKBisson]

Can totally relate the the shower productivity ideas and then not doing any of it.

[@ddddaaaa7995]

I'm glad that you are where you are:))

[@layne7679]

This was so great :) Will definitely ask a question for the next Q&A? ...*crosses fingers*

[@boredwillow]

I never tried Krave last time I was in the UK. I must do so this time around when I go in May. It sounds delicious.

[@randomness051]

it's not that great really

[@boredwillow]

randomness051 *sad panda*

[@marielan91]

When you fake fell asleep I thought "if he cut the video now I would die laughing". It would've been comedic gold but silver is good too :P Great video!

[@asfbassist]

Yeah Boh3m3! He was one of my first subscribtions as well. Loved his rants. I still have random quotes from him and TheHill88 stuck in my head. Like their "parody" of Charlie the Unicorn...

[@Ltlt225]

Oh shit. Boh3m3! He was also my first subscription. Him and TheHill88. I really enjoyed that period of KZbin.

[@KBaldiga93]

Same thing here! no obligations my sleep schedule would work around the clock exactly like that. Lol!!

[@ReAwaken1011]

I do the same thing in the shower. Today I got out of the shower and started watching this video--I'm gonna still consider myself productive though :)

[@MariaFranko34]

I would highly recommend trying the chocolate krave cereal! I think it tastes just like nutella; even if the flavor is called chocolate, not hazelnut.

[@sannanoor.8244]

Oh the ending bless you

[@LaurenDouglas]

I'm the same way with my sleep. Right now(like the last weekish) I'm going to sleeping and getting up at normal human being times but pretty quickly it's getting later and later.

[@RTLthings]

I think Boh3m3 was my first subscribe too (Either him or Brookers). I can just remember watching him years ago and laughing so much I peed myself a little. If I were slightly older at the time I probably would have started doing KZbin but when I was younger it kinda scared me.

[@KamalJarrah]

I was partial to the Greg Solomon part of KZbin back in the day

[@romantheflash]

I really like your explanation of artistic style, also I think of music to write in the shower....

[@OneUpdateataTime]

You're welcome.

[@moonyriot]

Definitely not enough Matthew Gaydos.

[@thelonelydirector]

South PARK?

[@SwimmmingFishy]

:O Two Michael Arandas....

[@smallthetalk]

I totally believed you when you said two or three days. Have it really been seven? And I think it's ok to miss a few days. I'm missing almost the whole month because I'm visiting my parents and my mum complains about me spending too much time on the laptop, so I said to myself I'll continue with VEDA when I get back to uni. Uni starts again on Tuesday... Also, I wanted to submit a question, but I only thought of it yesterday, so maybe next time ^^

[@morganpaige]

Ace initials ;)

[@SivanRedel]

I do the same thing. How is it that the shower me s such a productive person compered to myself? Maybe I should shower more.

[@KaWulfe]

First of all even though it was so hilarious I kinda feel bad for second Michael. And second: yes, Alex told us about your love for Krave. Here in Belgium it is also called tresor and my brothers like it but I, in total contrast to you, do not like hazelnut and am very jealous of the plain ones without hazelnut they have in England.

[@UnculturedProject]

I only watch your videos because you pay me to.

[@a333aaa]

I do the same thing in the shower! Also when I'm lying in bed in the mornings before I get up I literally tell myself all these things I'm going to do and actually want to do, but then I get sidetracked but unproductively and laziness. :'-(

[@wingedshoes7]

You chose the opposite foods that I would have in every food question. Neato torpedo.

[@TheAlexHJrShow]

thanks for answering my question :)

[@ltericdavis2237]

Krave has nutella in it in UK? I must now go to Britain.

[@koellekind]

The "little nap" - BUAHAHA, I had to laugh so much at you snoring! Possibly because I can totally relate to making big plans in the shower and then being lazy nonetheless. :o) Also, you have Cheerios - best cereal in the world! And here in Germany I am stuck with stupid hazelnut Crave! :P

[@mustardsfire22]

Why did you punch your clone!?!?! That's how the uprising starts!!

[@BoiseFreerunner]

How did you meet Hank Green?

[@KpopBIGBANG98]

Your intelligence is attractive

[@zombiesabrr]

I do exactly the same thing with time, staying awake like for 2 days and then sleep 1. And also the shower thing, so much stuff to do, but then.. procrastination happens hahaha

[@aimaginary]

Just wanted to say that your editing of you punching yourself was very good well done because last time when we didn't notice you hitting the pizza box out of your own hands in a Christmas video you got a little upset.

[@noblechipmnk7126]

Needs more Mathew Gaydos...

[@saswade11]

put 200 questions in one video.

[@ReadHeadPat]

You know what I just realized? If you dyed your hair brown you would look almost exactly like Beck Bennet on SNL.

[@IvannaperezElkIP123]

"For the right price, I'd paint my toenails any color you want ;)"XD

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

Rofl you're a good snoring actor 😂

[@loveeslaez7786]

I like ur schedule of 22 hrs awake and 14 hrs asleep, I do tht all the time.. And as to why I'm here in this particular channel... Well, I'm quite not sure... 6:23 .... you're welcome?

[@B1ueCadet3]

omg shoutout to boh3m3 shit

[@WatchingDude]

If you've got clones to spare, can you send me one 😀

[@pingwingwi]

I can take one too, I'll take good care of him, I promise

[@justtaylorr]

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

Lmaoooo oh lawdy. You punched yourself hahhahahhaahaa

[@laykamarie]

[@michaeladayvgs]

[@ThoughtSP95]

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

Yah I know, which is why I'll just be an illegal alien in uk til I'm done travelling 😄

[@brwneyedgirlx19]

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, FTW.

[@KaWulfe]

Actually, it's been like... nine, again. (:D I just had to).

[@nsmnddmiis]

A+ fake snoring, sir.

[@abbizeiger2622]

Hooray for nut allergies....

[@broshmosh]

Oh shit, Krave is the absolute greatest. I have to be so careful not to spend about £1bn on it.

[@КсюхаКейс]

никто меня не поймёт :D
