If he did, you wouldn't be able to tell any of the characters apart. They'd all have the same BOOMING VOICE.
I dunno, man. Tin Quixote's prose has always struck me as insufferable, like that D&D nerd in high school that thought it was cool to talk like Sturm Brightblade or whatever the fuck. I really can't tell if he's getting worse or if it's just as bad as it's always been.
Jay has no idea how hard actual artists work. To be fair, he still has his day job (right?) but on the other hand I'm sure his mum does his laundry and cooks his meals and buys his groceries and vacuums his room and all the other stuff that Kris Straub/Meredith Gran/Keith Knight/Emily Fluke/insert your favorite prolific indie comic person here have to do for themselves.
"Why would I *ever* want such a perpetual vacation to end?! Oh yeah, right; because I still have my quest for power and glory to continue embarking upon! TO GLORY!
"
There's so much fail in those three sentences that I had to say something. Nothing about bringing his precious characters to life, or feeling lethargic from not working, no, Jay's on a quest for power and glory! He's a real live Don Quixote! Also, which one was Mauricia? I only read the first book, and that when I was much younger.

So I checked the wikipedia article, and Maurecia just liked ice cream, at least in the first book. I remember her chapter now, too. She brought in ice cream that was flavored and named after the various classmates; people enjoyed the flavors based on how much they liked the classmate. Never saw the show, but it sounds like they went out of their way to flip her upside down (ironically), when there was already a nasty, confrontational girl in the book. Sadly, that forced character development simply led to this cute, innocent character becoming fap material for a manchild. 
To my knowledge, no. He's still working as and for the geek squad.
Now taking bets on how long that lasts.
I think he's going to be so tired of not being able to waste his days over DA journals with walls of text-- oh, sorry, I mean updating us on each page he's 'close to finishing' in a twelve paragraph journal-- and quit before the month is over.
If he has been fired I'm not surprised he's hiding it so well. Who knows, maybe the reason he isn't on the Internet as much is because he was fired and his ego finally got the best of him
Nah, not our Tin Can Jim Bob. He'd never miss an opportunity to stand on his soapbox and denounce all of the "haters and trolls" that put such unreasonable pressures on him by expecting him to, idk, work. He may be an ungodly lazy anus, but some things are beyond the pale!
No, he's been busy playing games.

Apparently he did get Saints Row IV and the last time he played it was less than 10 hours ago.
And going off of this...
http://steamcommunity.com/id/thegoldenknight117/stats/SaintsRowIV/?tab=achievements
He's been playing it non stop between last Thursday to this morning...and he's already completed the entire game + DLC. The only achievements he doesn't have? All the Co-Ops, the "kill X number of things with Y weapon" achievements, the community participation achievements, the "spend 40 hours playing this game" achievement (he's only at 35.1 hrs apparently), and basically all the ones that require doing stuff outside of missions or actually exploring outside the main game area.
(note: and no, just because he has the "all to easy" achievement with that impressive "defeat this guy in 5 minutes" requirement doesn't mean he actually played this on anything but the easiest difficulty. That instance is from the Dominatrix DLC and is a level completion achievement for finishing the first level. Where Zinyak rants offscreen about how he's glad that "original concept" for his role wasn't in the main game)
Do we know what his character looks like? I'm trying to think what he could use for his golden armor. Maybe the suit at the end? Was that even customizable?
Anything remotely resembling armor of any kind in the game, AFAIK, is non-customizable. Having yet to beat SRIV myself (the game glitched and locked off one of the homie missions as a result, just haven't had the time to finish the secondary character for the do-over campaign), I don't know if the Iron Suit can be cusomized if it's inevitably unlocked by beating the game.
But given he seems to have stopped playing the second he beat everything, he wasn't running around for 35 hours in the Iron Suit. My best bet is he cobbled something together that resembled either his self-insert from MotLW or An Hero Team, where it merely needed to look passable (to him) as armor painted in the proper colors and not actually have the thickness (in which case he quite honestly could have been using the mocap suit because of the color pattern choices)
EDIT: Dug through my old screenshots, short of the Iron Armor and a full-head subsitute for a Knight Helm, the best thing I can recall from the game at being actual armor was the STAG Armor you get after beating Virtual Cyrus the second time.
And yes, my character is supposed to be Gangster President Hitler as voiced by Nolan North. The temptation was too strong.

iron Saint suit isn't customizable but I think there is the actual medieval knight costume in the game which is customizable
There is. There's also a set of samurai armour, also customisable.
The problem with GK is that he's too typical. Take any random Brony and you have someone just as pathetic, socially inept and delusional. Clearly this person is setting himself up for a life of disappointment fantasizing about cartoon mogul successes and animated karate girlfriends. Doesn't every spergy nerd have delusions of grandeur that involve them overcoming the trials of society by doing little more than completely indulging in every way possible?
Actually, funny you mention that. What makes GK isn't the usual lolcow fare; if it was just his shitty art, there's worse Devianartists out there. It's not the disturbing nature of his ideas, the idiocy, the pedophilia. At some level, there's even a sort of... Dare I say it? Likability about Jay. He alternates between being absolutely socially inept and being almost-at-the-cusp of self realization and improvement, but he always seems to fall short. He's an absolute monster on some level, and yet you always get the grasp that his worst traits are less malicious and more out of ignorance and/or stupidity.
It's this level of underpinning tragedy, transposed with the absolute cesspit of lunacy that is his past, delusional fantasies, and so on that make him entertaining. If it was just his more disturbing/objectionable sides, we'd have simply torn him to shreds over the Heather incident and been done with it, but it's the ongoing train-wreck that is Jay's running headlong into the wall that is reality and attacking it with the desperation of a dying man that makes him so fucking entertaining to chronicle.
Just my own take on it really.
