He's some apparently famous YouTuber who reckons that he's a programming genius even though I'm the better programmer than him.

Occasionally he does something stupid and pops up on everyone's radar for a while and then the rest of the internet goes back to forgetting about him.

I guess he's kicked off again.

He's actually been doing stupid shit for ages, it just didn't get widespread attention until the SKG thing blew up. Actually the wow roach might've been before that, but either way SKG is what basically ended him.

Is that true? I've seen a lot of his shorts and he's always been like: "just make games" -- "stop worrying about code quality, some amazing games have shit code"

I heard he worked for Blizzard. But it definitely wasn't nepotism

The most notable thing about Thor I know is that his dad is the literal World of Warcraft guy from that one episode of South Park. Like, not that he looks similar; he was the actual inspiration for the character after Trey and Matt met him while touring Blizzard's offices.

Really? He never mentioned it.

He also did some hacking work.
