I remember reading Chris's letter regarding "Sprung" in Nintendo Power, and thinking that it was pretty creepy.
I also found some mentions of his ED page in late 2008, but didn't pay it too much mind. It wasn't until mid-2009 that I really started paying attention, and I became a full-time Chris watcher during the end of the Liquid Saga.
To this day, the one thing that Chris has done that actually pissed me off--literally made me angry--was Sonichu #10. Everything else has been a slowed-down, gargantuan train wreck with mass casualties captured in HD.
