Nicholas Barker is BACK for interview number two, and he's answering a ton of questions from you. In the last interview and my video about his raffle, I asked you guys to leave a comment with a question.

To those that did—congratulations—your question has probably been asked!

Please show some love and leave a comment for Nick as he does read them and appreciates the support.

Once again, huge thank you to Nick for agreeing to the second interview for the Chernobyl Studios channel... it was a real honor!

CHEERS! \m/
