00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.280
(lo-fi music)

2
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:03.480
- Hi guys, it's Alyssa,

3
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:05.310
Kotaku's resident Italian,

4
00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:09.330
and I'm here with Charlotte
Nicdao from "Mythic Quest"

5
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:11.220
who plays Poppy.

6
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:12.090
- Charlotte.
- Hi.

7
00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:13.650
- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you for having me.

8
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:14.670
- I really appreciate it.

9
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:15.690
I appreciate your time.

10
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:16.950
- Oh, I appreciate yours.

11
00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:17.783
- Thank you.

12
00:00:17.783 --> 00:00:19.290
This appreciation happening here already.

13
00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:20.670
This is gonna be great.

14
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:23.100
So I know I've been
keeping up with the show

15
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:23.933
the entire time,

16
00:00:23.933 --> 00:00:25.650
I've visited your set earlier in the year.

17
00:00:25.650 --> 00:00:26.550
It's a cool set.

18
00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:27.780
Did you learn anything like,

19
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:30.360
interesting about the industry
when you were researching --

20
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:31.230
- Absolutely.

21
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:32.820
- That you were like, "Oh, I had no idea."

22
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:33.653
- Yeah, definitely.

23
00:00:33.653 --> 00:00:36.210
I mean, I think that I had a
really limited understanding

24
00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:37.770
of what the gaming world was.

25
00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:39.450
Like, I think that, I
thought it was just like,

26
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.150
those really massive games and like,

27
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:43.800
I was like, "Oh it's Grand Theft Auto."

28
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.710
Which, obviously, that's a
huge part of the community.

29
00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:50.670
And also, there are so many
other smaller communities

30
00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:51.960
within the community,

31
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.080
and people with really specific passions

32
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:56.370
when it comes to storytelling.

33
00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:58.290
And that was one of the things
that I found fascinating

34
00:00:58.290 --> 00:00:59.520
about diving into that world.

35
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.590
And I really feel like the biggest thing

36
00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:02.880
that I discovered was

37
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.370
the things that I love about acting,

38
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:06.810
are kind of what gaming is.

39
00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:09.810
So you get to be a character
that's different to yourself,

40
00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.450
be put in a situation that's
outside of your normal life,

41
00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:13.680
go on an adventure,

42
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.360
and make new decisions,

43
00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:17.340
and I was like, "Oh, and
I get to do all of this

44
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:18.870
without having to go
through hair and makeup?

45
00:01:18.870 --> 00:01:19.703
Amazing."

46
00:01:19.703 --> 00:01:20.850
- Yeah, it's kind of nice, right?

47
00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:21.683
- Yeah.

48
00:01:21.683 --> 00:01:23.820
