Hi reddit! This is Ross. Co-Host of the YouTube show Game Grumps and animator known as RubberNinja! AMA!

Why is your face like a butt. I mean honestly have you seen it

Why is YOUR face like a bigger butt. I mean honestly have YOU seen it?

How COULD I Ross, if my face was a butt I wouldn't have eyes to see it with IDIOT #idiot

You don't even NEED a butt for a face, you're already full of SHIT!! #hashtag

Ross, over on /r/Gamegrumps yesterday you said you might post the unused Steam Train opening if enough people wanted you to during the AMA. Can we please see it?

BIG OLD VIDEO RESPONSE #10!

How much do you love ProJared and how often do you think about his butt?

ProJared has a butt of exquisite quality and shape (also often).

For some reason the description isn't showing for some people.. Not sure why that is. Just posting here in case it's not showing:

Hey guys, this is Ross O'Donovan! I'm the animator over at youtube.com/RubberNinja and one of the co-hosts from youtube.com/GameGrumps. Please ask me anything!

I will be responding with both text and video comments via PolarisGo.com! We'll be collecting all the video responses at their forums here.

How do you drink that much milk that fast

I open my mouth and it goes in.

Howdy Ross, we're the dev team for Classroom Aquatic! We heard you mention us on your Flight Delayed podcast right after MAGFest this year, and would be overjoyed if you tried out our game :) Whatcha think? Wanna cheat off of some dolphins?

I REALLY wanted to play, but the line was so big when I was there! I'd love to play it on the show.. We ain't got no occulus though ):

Well, we do! Mind if we set you up with a kit for a demo?

Contact me at rubberross AT gmail DOT com and we'll see if we can set something up :)

Who's your favorite Sonic character?

Not for any particular reason or anything.... Just wondering I swear...

Sonichu.

No question, just wanted to let you know (although it's neither the first nor the last time you've heard it) that you, /u/egoraptor, /u/DannySexbang, and /u/razzbarry make 30 minutes of my crappy days rock, every day. Love you guys!

I LOVE YOU MORE FUCK BARRY

Are you guys gonna finish Ride to hell? It's my favorite series.

Yes! We plan to, unfortunately it gives Arin VERY bad motion sickness. So sometimes it gets pushed aside if we need to film a lot of content because Arin literally needs to lay down after 5 episodes.

The way you move the mouse makes me sick, too. I can only watch like one episode at a time. Arin is a trooper.

Its because we have to play on a couch.. Not great for mouse movements unfortunately!

Hello Ross, will ever see the return of Chinigan?

I hope to see him Winigan.

Ross, if you got in a boxing match with Arin, do you think you could take him?

I've got the moves, he's got the beast like size, chins and weight. I wouldn't last long.

Top 3 animes, GO!

Anything Studio Ghibli

Gurren Lagann

Dragon Ball Z

What is your favorite Steam Train moment?

The Beej.

What is your favorite Ninja Sex Party song and why?

If We Were Gay. It was the first one I saw and it has a special place in my heart.

Hi Ross!! Are you going to be doing anything with Starbomb? I know your rhythm is legendarily atrocious, but maybe animating a music video?

No plans! But I really LOVE the Pokemon song.

Hey Ross,

A few times on Steam Train, you've mentioned that many people do not know about or associate you as an animator at all. Does it bother you that some ignore the hard work you've spent a decade perfecting in favor of being known as "That guy who does Steam Train"?

Also, your favorite ice cream flavor. I need to know.

Video response #33!

Hey Ross! Glad to see you're getting your own AMA!

As for my question, do you think that Arin has had any influence on your animating style?

I find that all my close friends influence me and I'm sure we all influence each other in some way shape or form. We've been in it together for so long. Early on I even helped Arin get his head around Flash as he was coming from a pixel animation background. So yeah WE ALL LEARN COOL SHIT TOGETHER HANG OUT HUG AND KISS.

Boobs or butt?

Butts!

Hey Ross, if I remember correctly, you mentioned once on a Steam Train episode that you once taught kids and students about animation, like motion tweening and stuff. I was wondering if you had ever thought about making an flash animation tutorial series concerning those mechanics. I still haven't grasped the concept, and I feel you would be a perfect candidate to do something like that because I can see from your (great) animations that you have a lot of experience with these tools.

Video response #1!

Hey Ross! It's my birthday! But it's been a pretty depressing day honestly, I'm going through a very rough time but I'm glad to come home and find that you're doing an AMA. Thanks for being awesome Ross.

I just wondered if you'd do me the honour of saying something nice to me to help me through the dark times.

Turn on the light switch, that will turn on the lights and turn off the dark times.

P.S. Smile!

How did you and Holly get on Friend Zone?

No friend zoning here, I MARRIED her.

What has been your favorite moment on steam train so far?

Batman call.

Ross, what are your opinions on Gavin Ofree from Rooster Teeth?

I don't know him personally. But I hear myself compared to him a lot, I'm sure we would get along great, as we'd relate.. Probably hug it out.

Hey Ross! I was wondering if you could share the story of how you met and came to marry Holly?

Video response #4!

How about the Gameoverse reboot huh Ross? Great job on everything you ever did in life btw

I'm carefully planning it out right now. Don't hold your breath!!

Do you think the age of Lets Players (and other game play videos) have changed Video Gaming?

People use to think it was lazy to sit around and play video games.. NOW we can be lazy and sit around and watch OTHER people play video games!

Someone's question seemed to be deleted. They asked "How did you learn to chug milk so fast?" Video response!

Hi Ross! What is your favorite Pokemon from each generation?

Video response #5!

How do you maintain such a youthful appearance?!

Video response #2!

What is it like to record Steam Train? Do you find it fun or not?

It's super fun. I love hanging out with all my Grumps.

Do you ski or snowboard? If yes what tricks can you do?

I really hadn't seen proper snow till this year.. But I did try skateboarding. I was the kid who could kick flip.

What are your favourite retro games?

TROG, Windjammers, Metal Slug, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island and Harvest Moon on SNES.

Hey Ross, TSPEIRO here. If I were to make another remix for you, what kind of song would you like me to make/what source material would you like to hear in it?

Oh maaaaaan! I don't know! SURPRISE ME!

Ross, Arin has mentioned a few times that when you're losing in a competitive game, you decide to throw the game on someone's favor. I was wondering why you did this, and if there was any specific reason?

Video response #15

if you were offered a sponsor ship by deltaco what would you have be your slogan for them be?

Feed me.

Hi Ross,

Perth fan here!

Have you watched any of the current FireRed playthrough by Arin and Danny? If so, are you also ripping out your hair at the decisions Arin makes... its so hard to watch. :(

Scrubs.

'Sup Ross. How many FPS do you use when you do your animations?

25 or 30. More so 30 now.

can you still speak in your accent?

Actually I can.. But even I feel like it's fake and dumb. But it's pretty spot on.

Have you ever been to Ireland? If so, what was the craic?

Yes! All my family live in Dublin. Last time I was there was in 2005 I believe. I hope to go back soon!

Hey Ross since Arin and Danny are doing Pokemon right now, which starter do you choose? Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander?

Squirtle DUH

Also, let's go nerdy and ask: What character do you want most for SBB4?

Kirby.. OH WAIT.

So Ross, you're a big Who fan. What are your thoughts and expectation so far on Capaldi, and also what would you say would be your favorite episode of Doctor Who since it's resurrection?

I have high hopes for Capaldi!! Also all of them minus a few bad ones.

What inspires you to keep improving on your animations?

My friends!

How's it going man? For my question; what Pokemon did you use on your team when you played X and/or Y version? Thanks

Video response #8!

Ross! How many times have you cosplayed? You know, with your wife being a prop and costume making extraordinaire.

Video response #17!

Ross, you've been doing Steam Train for awhile now, so I think there's enough episodes for you to choose from. Which one is your favorite?

Batman call and probably something from Skyrim.

If you had all the resources in the world, what's the dream project you'd create?

My own animated TV show or video game.

Where would you be if you didn't take up animation?

I'd probably chased after being a paleontologist.. Or a graphics designer.

Hey Ross, what is easily the WORST game by means of least amount of enjoyment you have played on Steam Train?

Duke Nukem 2. But at least it brought out some kind of emotion..

Hey Ross, what's your favorite video game soundtrack and why?

I love the Skyrim, Tiny Brains, Starbound and Minecraft soundtracks. Mass Effect 1 has pretty great music as well.. Mass Effect 2 had some great songs.

Hey Ross, I wanted to say that you and Arin are two of my biggest inspirations and why I am pursuing a career in animation. I also wanted to ask you:

1) When and why did you decide that you wanted to become an animator?

2) Do you have any advice for future animators?

3) What's your favorite indie game?

Video response #11!

Hey Ross. I was curios, I know Arin has dabbled with it so I was curious: have you ever attempted game design?

Video response #14!

favorite dbz character?

Video response #24!

I GOT A REDDIT ACCOUNT JUST TO ASK YOU ... what's the craziest thing you've ever done?

Video response #31!

Ross any plans to play Starbound on Steam Train or Steam Rolled once it's out of beta?

STARBOUND VIDEO RESPONSE #35!

Can we get Grant Imahara on Guest Grumps, please?

Holly is actually really good friends with Grant (they met on the set of the guild)! I know him pretty well also, he's a great dude! Not sure if he's familiar with Grumps honestly, but that'd be up to Arin and Dan not me!

Hey Ross, how did you get into Shaolin martial arts? Also, how has the art of Shaolin influenced your animating ability?

Video response #13!

Third nipple? Yes this is the question.

Video response #26!
