'''Rollin' and Trollin'''' is a video of downtown [[CWCville]] (really downtown [[Charlottesville]]) uploaded on 17 [[July 2009]] in which Chris attempts [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Kaufmanesque humor]]. Notable is a video message to real life [[trolls]], including several [[CWCki]] editors. The key component of this message is that, in a shocking turn of events, Chris was engaging in the most elaborate trolling scheme in history, and has duped us all masterfully. (If only that were true.)
'''YouTube''' is the primary arena in the online world of [[Chris]], who has occasionally called it "the YouTube". [[CWC's Sonichu Site!|His websites have gotten hacked]], [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] crashed forever, and even [[CWCki|this very wiki]] sucks balls sometimes, but YouTube is always up and operational, and, except during his "final departure from the Internet" in 2010, Chris has always produced new [[Captain's Log]] [[videos]] and reacted to the videos of his [[White knights|friends]] and [[trolls|enemies]]. From 2017 onward, Chris's YouTube presence started to dwindle as he shifted his online presence to [[Twitter]], but he still uploaded videos every now and then.


To sell the deception, [[Chris]] changed his look to have a normal hairstyle, [[Krapple|a goatee]], sunglasses instead of large, square [[Pedo-Glasses|pedo glasses]], plain blue T-shirt and jeans, [[navy]] blue sleeveless unbuttoned shirt over his t-shirt, dog-collar bracelets, his forearms appear to be covered in thick tattoos, complements the tattoo sleeve from the [[Fuck Quest|fuck quest]], no [[Amnyfest Ring]], and a chain with some dog tags, instead of his trademark [[Sonichu medallion]]. Of course, the disguise unintentionally gave away the truth: the lack of the ring and medallion suggested that Chris was not entirely TRUE and HONEST when he made this video, something that he indeed confirmed later.
For Chris, YouTube wasn't merely a way to post videos dedicated to his alleged adoring [[fanbase]] and issue broad condemnations of trolling; it was also a communication channel. Chris has posted several videos on his YouTube channel that he apparently believed would be only viewed by the people he addressed the videos to, and that they'd view the video even when they haven't been made aware of Chris's channel. He has addressed individual trolls, individual alleged fans, [[sweetheart]]s and especially former sweethearts, journalists and TV shows, local business managers and other people within driving distance of his house. As of [[2009]], Chris is wary of email and other text-based forms of communication, having been burned by alleged sweethearts who turned out to have [[pickle]]s. Chris has also been known to search videos labeled "Chris-chan" in order to satisfy his [[ego]].

YouTube is the primary arena in the online world of Chris, who has occasionally called it "the YouTube". His websites have gotten hacked, Encyclopedia Dramatica crashed forever, and even this very wiki sucks balls sometimes, but YouTube is always up and operational, and, except during his "final departure from the Internet" in 2010, Chris has always produced new Captain's Log videos and reacted to the videos of his friends and enemies. From 2017 onward, Chris's YouTube presence started to dwindle as he shifted his online presence to Twitter, but he still uploaded videos every now and then.

For Chris, YouTube wasn't merely a way to post videos dedicated to his alleged adoring fanbase and issue broad condemnations of trolling; it was also a communication channel. Chris has posted several videos on his YouTube channel that he apparently believed would be only viewed by the people he addressed the videos to, and that they'd view the video even when they haven't been made aware of Chris's channel. He has addressed individual trolls, individual alleged fans, sweethearts and especially former sweethearts, journalists and TV shows, local business managers and other people within driving distance of his house. As of 2009, Chris is wary of email and other text-based forms of communication, having been burned by alleged sweethearts who turned out to have pickles. Chris has also been known to search videos labeled "Chris-chan" in order to satisfy his ego.
