It’s late on the east coast, and I’m watching in real time as Kyle Mathis - known mostly online as ExShadow - types his extensive replies to my interview questions. “It was a nice break from my vectoring,” he assures me when I voice concern over taking time out of his busy schedule. Surely the only explanation for the time he finds for all his projects is a summoning of the primal Alexander itself to stop time. Or perhaps it’s his admirable dedication to his work, both personal and professional. After reading his interview, I believe you’ll find the latter far more likely.
