Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw and Sandeep Parikh talk about making a name for themselves on YouTube.
Croshaw is becoming well known in gaming culture for his scathing reviews of video games in his weekly Zero Punctuation episodes. Although his feature is now showcased on The Escapist, he got his start by venting his ire on YouTube.
Sandeep Parikh is an up and coming celebrity recognized for his role in the World of Warcraft spoof, The Guild. He’s also known for his Zelda parody, The Legend of Neil, which has been picked up by Comedy Central.
These two YouTube celebrities talk about their rise to fame and the consequences in “Where Things Are Hollow: Fame in the Time of YouTube” on The Escapist.
