Jason "LordKaT" Pullara, is a citizen of New York City who has been online forever. It is believed that he is one of the four Internet gods.
He is the creator and owner of LordKaT.com, hosting content produced since his days of making videos for [[That Guy With
Jason now live-casts on a stream called "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130727071713/http://www.lordkat.com/live/ LordKaT Live!]" This livestream has brought together numerous personalities from TGWTG, along with some of his best friends both from inside and outside the IRC chat. As [[Lord Kat]] has gained new viewership via promotions such as the stream, so as he's done for the others who visit the stream; several more stream hosters have popped up as a response to this, including [[Jew Wario]], Hope Within Chaos, [[
Some of the shows on LordKat's livestream include:
* '''This Week In Games''' and '''Indie Game of the Week''': Recorded every Saturday, Jason and Skitch (and recurring guest [[Marz Gurl]]) discuss current events in the gaming world and nominate a pick for Indie Game of the Week (which used to be a feature of TWiG before being budded off into its own show).
* '''Turducken is Tasty''': Recorded every Wednesday, Jason, [[Rollo T]], [[Shane Phallam]], and [[Y: Ruler of Time]] Freeman discuss the NFL, both games and current events, usually discussing last week's games and trying to predict the outcome of next week's. It went on hiatus due to the NFL lockout but has since come back, and Jason has expressed interest in making it a regular show by expanding the focus to other sports.
* '''[[Wyrmwick Campaign]]''': Played (almost) every weekend, this is Jason's ''[[Dungeons
* '''Eriadne Campaign''': Played every Wednesday, this a ''[[Dungeons
* '''Tuesday Tech Talk''': [[Captain Obvious|Recorded every Tuesday]] at 7:00 PM EST, Jason and [[What
* '''How To Do It''': A self-help tech show hosted by Jason and Nash, also recorded on Tuesdays. The show focuses on helping people solve technical issues ranging from hardware problems to finding the best equipment money can buy.
* '''Conduct Unbecoming''': A military podcast with [[Critical Marine]] and [[Chaos D 1]].
* '''Weekly Manga Recap''': A manga podcast starring [[Rollo T]] and [[Y: Ruler of Time]], and occasionally featuring a guest commentator.
* '''Until We Win''': LordKat resurrected the series as a weekly competition. Every Friday afternoon, Jason plays a difficult game without using cheats or save-states, trying to reach the end or get the highest score. Members of the site are then challenged to play the game and record their progress.
* '''WAT''': Hosted by Jason and co-hosted by chat regular Final_Freek, this late-night series showcases the most bizarre, obscure, and deranged internet videos from around the world. Recorded every Friday at Midnight.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Jason set up a ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' challenge between the LordKat Mafia and [[Team Four Star]], but TFS kept having to reschedule and eventually just said they couldn't make time for it.
* [[Angrish]]: His reaction to the [[No Ending|"ending"]] of ''[[Chakan:
** Playing ''Clive Barker's Jericho''.
** [[Left 4 Dead 2]]. It doesn't matter what mode, campaign or mutation it is, angrish will flow from Jason's mouth at some point.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: A particular pet peeve of Lordkat's, seen in ''[[Strider
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]/[[Exact Words]]: Apparently, Lordkat has received complaints from both Twitch TV streamers and admins for running non-video game content on his stream. In response, he's started running ''[[Progress Quest]]'' any time he's away from his computer (such as when he's asleep or getting food).
* [[Berserk Button]]:
Line 49:
** Unless it's related to the fan community and/or you have Jason's explicit permission, don't even ''think'' of "e-begging" (asking for money) on his stream; even when done after hours, this will automatically result in a permanent ban. Promoting your own work (websites, podcasts, artwork, etc.) is allowed as long as you don't spam the chat with it.
** Don't insult or disrespect his friends and guests. See [[Papa Wolf]] below.
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]: Mostly averted (Jason's a pretty easy-going guy), though it does rear its head on occasion. See the entries under [[Berserk Button]] and [[Unstoppable Rage]].
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Chat moderator and video highlighter Bubblefish got his name from Big Fazeek's (see below) name for a puffer fish.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Chat regular Sable gets teased a lot, but it's all in good fun. Mooders as well.
Line 58:
** "Keep it up, and eventually..." ''*shows the game's outro*''
* [[Challenge Gamer]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: During ''[[The Cinema Snob
* [[Determinator]]: He will not stop until he wins. For instance, he worked on ''Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge'' for more than half a year, only managing it and doing a video on it (with [[The Spoony Experiment
** He actually didn't beat it - they took the footage of a guy who did beat it's youtube page. [[Lord Kat]] tried but deemed it too confusing. The guy who did it on youtube had the game for years, and beat it only through brute force of trying absolutely everything.
** The person whose footage they used reasoned that whether or not Spoony and [[Lord Kat]] did play it, the video would be exactly the same.
Line 66:
** [[The Hero]] -- Lordkat (naturally)
** [[The Lancer]] -- Rollo T, Skitch, Nash and Y Ruler of Time
** [[The Smart Guy]] -- Taurevanime,Sonikgav, Achillesforever6
** [[The Big Guy]] -- [[Critical Marine]]
** [[The Chick]] -- Arclight, Sable, and Mooders
* [[Follow the Leader]]: A lot of the games he beats (as he lampshades in the introductions) are requested by his fans because [[
** He also beat ''[[The Adventures of Bayou Billy]]'' because it was one of [[The Spoony Experiment
* [[Foreign Queasine]]: The entire point of the segment "LordKat Eats". Some of the more unique delicacies sampled have included [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atji2PADdVA Bull Penis], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YwbH_OHeC8 Pig's Blood], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekW2QWnob8I Canned Haggis].
* [[Foreshadowing]]: At the end of each episode he'll usually play music from the next game to be featured.
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: As Jason explains it, "LordKat" originates from the very start of his Internet "career": when he was young, he chose the screen name "Kat" because he thought it was cool, but added the "Lord" when he learned that "Kat" is a feminine name (usually short for Kathleen and such).
Line 79:
* [[Ho Yay]]: His livestream contains ''bucketloads'' of this, particularly between himself and [[Rollo T]].
* [[It Amused Me]]: Jason once posted a very nasty blog attacking Let's Players and people who stream video games. Hours later, he posted on twitter that it was done deliberately to troll and see how many angry replies he'd get. He did sincerely mean the main subject of the blog though, that Bill S.978 wouldn't have any real impact if it passed and people are overreacting.
* [[Kill It
** Also, his character Grae in [[
* [[Let's Play]]: Jason has done a couple, including ''[[Space Quest]]'' (games 2 and 3) and ''[[
** And the entire ''[[Thief]]'' series, Jason being a huge fan and admitting to have used it for inspiration for Wyrmwick.
* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: LordKat did reveal a major reason for leaving TGWTG on his livestream shortly after it happened, but refuses to bring it up in later discussions (as seen in an interview with [[Moonhawk Studios Presents]]) because he doesn't want people to think he's denigrating his former co-workers. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|Out of respect for his wishes, that reasoning shouldn't be revealed by anyone else, either.]]
** A more recent example is when Jason was caught having... errr... [[A Date
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Two words... Mr. Chappy.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The whole point of ''Until We Win''.
* [[Oh Crap]]: A hilarious version that ended his Bayou Billy UWW video. When he hears the NES Battletoads theme song ...

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Jason is ''fiercely'' defensive of those he considers his friends. It's not unusual for him to ban people from his livestream for harassing or disrespecting his internet "family", especially his former TGWTG co-workers. (This even applies to ''other'' employees of TGWTG.)
* [[Person
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "Fuck you [[Butt Monkey|Sable]]". Sometimes with "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130129012925/http://www.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Jason likes to swear a lot, but there's one example that really stands out. The ending to ''The Guardian Legend'' on the NES, a game he considered to be harder than ''[[
{{quote|
* [[Rage Quit]]: There's a reason Jason calls it "[[Left 4 Dead|Left 4 Mad]]", usually to do with incompetent teammates. He's actually gotten frustrated enough with the game that he's uninstalled it, only to put it back on later after cooling off.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: As demonstrated on his Livestream, Jason has an unexpected fondness for Broadway showtunes. (His favorite musicals are ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (
** He also enjoys classical music.
** Actually, that makes him seem more [[Sophisticated As Hell]].
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
* [[Revival]]: "Until We Win", twice. First, some time after ending it, LordKat turned it into an open-source project, where people could make their own episodes. The second time, he turned it into a live weekly series.
* [[Running Gag]]: Starting with the ''[[
** And then immediately after Y closes the door, a sheep can be heard *bawwing* in the background; followed by a disappointed Lordkat saying *aww*
** More recently, and probably unintentional, [[Lord Kat]] getting startled by Rollo_T or somebody else in the call abruptly playing the Monday Night Football theme.
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: "Cotton-Eyed Joe", "They're Coming to Take Me Away".
* [[Yonkoma|Sankoma]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130808040136/http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/Comicu Comicu], by LKM artist Ginky.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: [[Rollo T]], as evidenced in many games of ''[[Left 4 Dead]] 2'' where he runs into a Tank and gets beaten.
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: Beating the game without using any external cheats--no [[Game Genie]], no save states on an [[Emulator]]. Built-in cheats like the [[Konami Code]] or a [[Warp Zone]] are fine.
Line 113:
* [[Troll]]: Jason has had to deal with complaints from both Twitch TV content providers and administrators for various reasons; the admins mostly complain because he runs more than just video game content, and the other streamers seem to complain because he's successful and they aren't.
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Big Fazeek, in a sense; going on a year after Hatedick he still fixates on LordKat, while Jason, for his part, doesn't give a damn and only discusses the guy when someone else brings him up (as Nash did when he pointed out that Fazeek was trying to find him at New York Comic Con 2011).
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: ''[[
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: During a game of ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'', RolloT used "Foof!" as a [[Battle Cry]] (playing off of Jason's earlier "Foom!"). Someone looked "foof" up on [[Urban Dictionary]] and learned that it's a synonym for the vagina, resulting in its entering the LK Mafia's lexicon.
* [[A Winner Is You]]: He always segues from talking about how to beat the last boss to showing the game's ending, which is often --especially with NES games--one of these, annoying him.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: In [[
** [[Grenade Launcher]] / [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]: When playing as the Demoman (the character class Jason plays as the most) Jason uses the default grenade launcher and the Ullapool Caber (i.e., the potato masher-shaped grenade that the Demoman uses as a melee weapon). In [[Left 4 Dead 2]], expect Jason to either grab a Molotov Cocktail or a Pipe Bomb and use them.
** [[Fire-Breathing Weapon|Flamethrower]]: When playing as the Pyro, the second-most played class by Jason.
