Q: Can you play song X by artist Y?
A: Sadly no, I only play music I have direct permission to use. It's a personal preference thing.

Q: Who made your layout?
A: My layout was made by Konasumi. You should support him and order yourself a layout if you need one! His channel is: http://www.twitch.tv/Konasumi

Q: What's with the ToastPercent emote?
A: Short story --> So as an inside joke in the Boop Troop, I'm known as the Disney guy and we also joke about toasters on occasion. Put 2 and 2 together and I now own a mickey mouse toaster.

Borderlands 2/Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel -
==============

Q: How are you shooting without reloading?
A: I'm using a stat of a Vladoff rocket launcher which makes it consume -1 ammo when it shoots. When I shoot it, I proceed to switch off the launcher and immediately back to it. This takes that stat and stacks it onto my character so all guns I shoot consume -1 shot. I can switch off and on to stack it repeatedly so then all guns can be free of ammo cost (including 4 ammo per shot guns).

Q: What are you doing when you drop a ton of guns on the ground at the same time?
A: I'm doing a recently discovered glitch called Crit Stacking. This only works when you're offhost. What happens is that you spam the switch weapon input (I use scroll down on a hyper scroll mouse) then spam drop (which I bind to scroll up and use a second mouse). When you do this, the game drops multiple guns and keeps a "phatom copy" in my hand and all the stats from the weapon and weapon parts are applied to whatever occupies that weapon slot. By duping jakobs branded with dahl stock sniper rifles, I lose very little accuracy and recoil and gain an extra 250% crit damage for every sniper that is duped. Doing this throughout the run dramatically increases my damage and by the end I have about 100-200 snipers worth of extra crit damage when I shoot. There is video about duping here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=175Fe45D1RY

Q: How is Axton moving so fast? Is he using mods?
A: No he's not cheating. It's called the Expertise Glitch. Axton has a skill called Expertise that let's him gain movement speed when aiming down sights. If Axton is off host, specs into Expertise, and drops his gun while aiming down sight, that movement speed buff is never removed and can be stacked heavily.

Q: Why are all those explosions going off in your face when you swap weapons?
A: Evil Smasher glitch. The Evil Smasher is a gun that, when you reload, occasionally explodes and gains extra stats, including fire rate, damage, accuracy, and crit. We can merge that property onto another gun to make it incredibly powerful, and thus what you see my gun doing.

Q: Is this on xbox 360/ps3/ps4/xbox one?
A: No, this is on PC. You can tell by my prompts all being keys on the keyboard.

Q: Can I play with you guys? I'm a X level X class.
A: No, this is a speedrun and you joining would defeat the purpose of doing a speedrun. I'm also playing on a specific patch of the game that you probably don't have.
