Mike was born and raised in the heart of steel country Ohio, Steubenville.
Mike negotiates the winter road conditions in Steubenville on his way to pick up his friend Alexis, navigating treacherous streets and repeatedly getting stuck in the snow.
Enroute to Pittsburgh, Mike shares his recent endeavors in considering various "blue-collar" jobs, expressing excitement for these recent excursions from young professional life working in office settings. Marveling some of the positive changes and recent growth in Steubenville, he expresses desire to establish a stable presence in Ohio for the next several years, driven by a wish to engage in local politics and community affairs.
Mike introduces Neo Hyrule, a post-apocalyptic region in the Legend of Zelda universe, rebuilt after a "great flood" caused by a dam burst. Mike gives in-depth analysis of population distribution, traffic solutions (highways, bus lines), and public transit (railways, buses), as well as different districts like Hyrule Castle City, New Halia, and Lake Floria, even following a simulated resident named "Karen" through her commute in Neo Hyrule.
