Arin started "Sequelitis" in March 2011 with his video "Castlevania 1 vs. Castlevania 2". He describes the series as:
"In Sequelitis, I passionately discuss the relationships between video game sequels and their predecessors. I also crack a lot of jokes which may or may
not be funny. Getting a laugh or two out of a video is a-okay with me," he also mentions being able to "open up channels for more intelligent discussion on game making and how designers both young and old can learn from the greats and not-so-greats." as a great opportunity.
He also appeared as a contestant on the Sony PlayStation game show "The Tester" in its third season in 2012. Arin was the community-vote contestant but was eliminated in the third episode after being accused of using the show to promote himself and taking it seriously.
