Jordan "CaptainSparklez" Maron playing "Minecraft" on his YouTube channel.

We're living in a time when "internet celebrity" and traditional celebrity are blurring into each other, when Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg appears on late night talk shows and Kim Kardashian's most popular product is a new mobile app.
