You have to sign a contract to LP? Don't u get paid by the number of people that come to your channel? .... and provided they don't use ad blocker? To be honest, I'm not even sure why LP s are a thing. Why watch you play when i could be playing. Seems strange to me. You get a contract if you get sponsored by YouTube or another company. They then pay you in ad revenue.   I'm just asking how much money can a typical LPer make. Can it be enough to live off on? A sandwich every now and then? Pay a light bill or two? I'm not sure why that would be against contract to tell people what they're paying you for X number of views. Seems like that would be more of a personal issue if you wanted to tell people or not. I can actually see that as opposed to saying, I can't because it's against my contract and if it was in there; seems like that statement would be illegal. What if you had to discuss your contract with someone other then the company sponsoring you? |

I can't imagine a scenario outside of legal procedures where that would occur. And yes, some people make enough to live off of.

6. American Football. But if that isn't an option then I choose rugby. Real FOOTball is lame and a stupid, sissy, pansy sport.  Lol. To be perfectly accurate, this is probably the most hypocritical response I've ever heard. American Football is essentially forward passing Rugby except the players all where lots and lots of thick padded armour to stop them from getting bruised or broken. Really takes away the masculinity of it. |

TMNT is from the late 80s, early 90s. Shredder looking more ridiculous and over the top is probably better.

What if you had to discuss your contract with someone other then the company sponsoring you? Quite a few people make a living off of it: StephenPlays, Chuggaconroy, JoshJepson, etc. And it's sorta become like TV for some people. You watch to see the LPer experience the game. Sometimes I'll watch an LP of a game I've already long beat, but I wanna see my favorite LPer play and commentate. Some others play along the LPer. |

The Riddler 14. Well assuming I have access to all my stuff and I am already with my wife and dogs I would do a quick weapons check (two AR-15's and 2 handguns) grab my bug out bag and as many supplies as I could that would fit in my SUV. I live very close to my parents so I would try to make it to their house to see if they are okay. I have a good friend that lives on a secluded ranch with it's own generator and horses so I would head there and figure out what to do from there. 15. It's been answered a lot. |

I say the thing that he has is a good voice stage presence. ...Although, I don't think I'll be watching his channel on the regular though. Mark Fiore is my guy. |

The World Cup is the most epic sporting event in the world and this year's World Cup is no different. 7. Coffee. Give me more of that full bean! 8. Marvel. 9. image 10. Andrew Garfield. 11. Millar's run is just magical. 12. Now that's a tough one. Probably Cloverfield because it's pretty tight. 13.  14. I would have to travel to Oxford to get my girlfriend. Before I left mine I would grab by steel baseball bat (which I bought online specifically for a scenario like this) and I would snap off my chair legs and tie my kitchen knives to the ends of them to make longer stabbing weapons. No way would I use a gun. They're too noisy. It would attract too much attention to me. I would then walk the train tracks into Oxford. The trains tracks have a three foot drop going down to them so I expect half the zombies would fall over by stepping on to the train tracks, and if any zombies came down I would just smash them up with my baseball bat. There are two towns in which the train tracks go through to get to Oxford. One should always avoid towns and cities wherever possible in a zombie apocalypse because they're densely populated areas which means most of the zombies are there. But the towns I'd go through are small so I think I'd be able to run through them quite easily. When I get into Oxford though, I wouldn't be surprised if the place is PACKED with zombies. This would be difficult. Perhaps I would try the car alarm trick. Anyway, once I've got my girlfriend, we'd use the train tracks to walk into the country side. From there we'd hotwire a car and travel up to the Scottish mountains. 15. You all got it right. It was a bit too easy. I'll try to make it a bit harder next time. |

You're expecting the place to be packed with zombies; why do you assume you're girlfriend is still among the living? I think your best bet is just to tell her how to defend herself and have you and her rendezvous at a safe meeting place. If someone doesn't show up within 1 - 3 days then you assume the worst and get on with your lives. But just in case, let her know about those Scottish Mountains so you two can meet up. On a side note, it's interesting that you wouldn't save your brother or your sister (unless you're an only child) |

I have three stepbrothers but they're usually difficult to get hold of and they'd probably be off trying to save their girlfriends or something. I really like how everyone answered that question. I was expecting someone to starve to death on top of a roof somewhere but no one did, which is good. |

Swords can get stuck in them quite easily though. I'd rather use a shorter bladed weapon to stab them through the eye. I'd split their skulls open with my baseball bat and then go for close range precision stabs to the face with a knife. I can swing the baseball bat and do some good damage whereas a sword can get stuck if I'm not trained. A sword just isn't as reliable as a bat. I need weapons that aren't going to fuck up on me.

Why do you like Poison Ivy? It's an interesting choice I love her power set. And I like how she can hypnotise almost any male and that she wants to turn the world into a garden of Eden full of reptilian creatures and giant man-eating plants and other deadly nature stuff. She beautiful, and her agenda, whilst evil, is also beautiful, with nature flourishing wherever she walks. All she needs is a field and she's got all the soil and power to do some serious damage, with vines growing up everywhere attacking her foes, and shielding herself with huge tree trunks shooting up to block oncoming fire, |
