After the interview with Nigma, people also wanted one with krokodainer, the maker of the Dota 2 SHITTY DIGEST VOL.1-4 series. I contacted him and he delivers. Here you go:

Hello krokodainer and thank you very much for accepting this interview. Let’s start right off. People watch your videos and can’t stop laughing due to the the way you edit the scenes. Why and how did you learn editing and what do you think is the most important thing about it?

Hi. First of all, I wanted to say that I don’t consider myself an awesome moviemaker and for sure, I don’t have a good sense of humour. So let’s talk without dramatization or any fancy titles. And my english probably isn’t correct. -To the question: Actually, I didn’t learn anything, I just press random buttons in Vegas and add some improvisation. It works. And the most important thing is…

Well, after SHITTY DIGEST VOL.4 I realized that my mom was right and size doesn’t matter. I’m not talking about the whole video length, I’m talking about specific scenes. For example: if in your video you want to show someone playing Naga Siren and failing her ultimate – don’t make it too long, cuz it doesn’t matter what funny music you gonna use, everyone will get bored after 3 mins of watching this, especially without any additional montage. Right, Nigma? So, SHITTY DIGEST VOL.5 will be more random and crazy than previous. I’m tired of things like “omg look at this player, he is bad, let’s show his fails, haha so funny!“.

This is probably the most important question for many: When will you release a new Dota2 Shitty Digest video, which people want so badly?

Obviously, I’m not releasing vol.5 because I have my own reasons. A few things have been happening in my life for the last months, so basically I survived a crazy shitstorm. Now everything is getting normal. By “normal” I mean that I can keep wasting my time on nothing again, by “nothing” I mean playing video games and other internet-stuff. So, since I started my work on vol.5 a year ago, I’m going to revive it with it’s main ideas. Bad news – I have to cut off a lot of scenes, cuz It’s too old already. Good news – my fresh ideas seems to be much better and interesting. I will release everything in January.

Awesome !!! Here is another question though: From where do you take all these crazily funny ideas to edit the action?

From my mind, usually. I don’t like it when someone sends me a replay with the title “dude check this out at 15:00“. I rarely do what those guys ask.

Do you have a role model, who inspired you and therefore your videos?

I was bored and decided to create some stuff for youtube. Yes, I used to play HoN a lot, I know Smyger, he is a really talented guy, but I don’t think he is my role model or whatever you call it.

Do all these things, shown in your videos, happen to you or do you take them from somewhere else?

Most of them – yes.

What makes you rage about the new patch and what makes you happy? Is there anything special we might see in the new video?

My reaction was like: “woah, so many changes“. That’s all. Yes, I hope, you will see many special things, but not about the new patch or Diretide.

If you could edit any TV show before it were to be be broadcasted, which one would it be?

4 season of Game of Thrones. I don’t like the one part especially. And the dragons: they should grow faster, walk on 2 legs and speak.

What do you think about the Diretide mode?

Got tired of it a year ago. I’m not gonna launch this hat-farming simulator ever again.

Lets talk about the man behind krokodainer. How does a typical day in the current life of the krokodainer look like ? What is your profession and where do you come from?

Now I live somewhere deep in Russia. No job, no university, nothing. I had an opportunity and I chose life without purpose. I’m totally okay with that, and I have no idea when I’m going to change everything again.

What do you friends think about your videos?

Friends?

How do you feel about Russian dota?

Russian, European, Asian, etc. I feel like I don’t care.

If you were gabe newell for 1 day, how would you change dota 2 and what else would you do at the Valve headquarters?

I would have done heroes’ release schedule more often. And baby Roshan courier needs a background on his portrait. Seriously.

Only 1 word:

Navi vs Alliance – Whatever

League of Legends – Whatever

Dota 2 Love – Crubick

PGG – Whatever

New broodmother – Whatever

Thank you very much for giving us insight into your brains and letting us know how long we will have to wait for Dota 2 SHITTY DIGEST VOL.5!
