Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:LordKat_8853.png\|frame]] {{quote\| ''"You're gonna die. A lot."''}} One man. Line 18: He is the creator and owner of LordKaT.com, hosting content produced since his days of making videos for [[That Guy With The Glasses]] (even before joining the crew). His primary contribution to the site was Until We Win, where he gave tips on how to beat legendarily difficult video games like ''[[Battletoads]]'' without cheating. In early 2011 Jason ended UWW and announced that he was leaving TGWTG, both for the same reasons (to work full time with his JustinTV livestream and because scripting and filming were always his least favorite parts of the creative process). He left on good terms, and is an official TGWTG affiliate as well as remaining friends with many of its members. 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, [[~~Jesu Otaku~~JesuOtaku]], and [[Obscurus Lupa]]. Especially popular are the [[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]] sessions: [[Spoony's Campaign]] was played on the stream as is one with [[Wyrmwick Campaign\|Lordkat]] as DM. In addition, the Eriadne Campaign has joined the stream, with AionoftheBlades as DM. 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 ~~and~~& Dragons]]'' game. Between the colorful personalities of the players and Jason's own [[Indy Ploy\|improvisational]] [[Dungeon Master\|DM]] style, [[Hilarity Ensues]]. For several weeks, Jason and the players hosted '''That Tabletop Show''' where they recap past events, answer questions from viewers, and more, until it was decided there was insufficient content to maintain a weekly show and it was placed on hiatus. * '''Eriadne Campaign''': Played every Wednesday, this a ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'' campaign run by AionoftheBlades and featuring one of Jason's friends, SonikGav. Originally hosted on a different streaming site, it was moved to [[Lord Kat]]'s stream after running into technical issues. Since then, Jason himself has joined (and subsequently departed) the campaign as a Shade Executioner named Blackwood. While events in Eriadne are not discussed in That Tabletop Show, AionoftheBlades does weekly text-based recaps of sessions to keep viewers informed and up to speed. * '''Tuesday Tech Talk''': [[Captain Obvious\|Recorded every Tuesday]] at 7:00 PM EST, Jason and [[What ~~the~~The Fuck Is Wrong With You?\|Nash]] discuss non-video game technology, both software and hardware. * '''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. A rather extensive Wiki can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131106070826/http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page here]. Page under construction. {{creatortropes}} ~~=== LordKaT provides examples of: ===~~ * [[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: The Forever Man\|Chakan the Forever Man]]''. 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 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 [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] became memorably infuriated by them. On one occasion he beat [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s own choice of worst game, ''Bebe's Kids'', and the Nostalgia Critic showed up to complain that Lordkat would make him look pathetic by beating it. ** He also beat ''[[The Adventures of Bayou Billy]]'' because it was one of [[The Spoony Experiment\|Spoony's]] first videos (even calling it "Spoony's impossible game"), and tried to do ''[[Wolverine]]: Adamantium Rage'', but he confessed to [[Atop the Fourth Wall\|Linkara]] that after spending two days straight trying to get past it, he gave up and did an easier game. * [[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 80: * [[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 with Fire]]: Jason's regular approach to playing [[Team Fortress 2]] and [[Left 4 Dead 2]]. ** Also, his character Grae in [[Spoony's Campaign]] regularly used ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny\|flaming bedrolls]]'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|as a combat tactic.]] * [[Let's Play]]: Jason has done a couple, including ''[[Space Quest]]'' (games 2 and 3) and ''[[Portal 2]]''. ** 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 with Rosie Palms]] while his livestream microphone was on. Nash's reaction was hilarious. * [[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 ... {{quote\| '''Jason''': "Oh ''God.''" (faces the camera with a slackjawed expression on his face, then the screen cuts to empty credits) "Oh, God, no." ("Next week: Battletoads" appears on the screen) "Aww, hell."}} * [[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 as Verb]]: "Moodersing It", which means [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here\|abandoning your team]] in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' and failing. Related is "Final Freeking It", which means leaving your team (usually with permission) and succeeding. * [[Phrase Catcher]]: "Fuck you [[Butt Monkey\|Sable]]". Sometimes with "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130129012925/http://www.~~Fuckyousable~~fuckyousable.com/ Dot Com]" tacked on the end. * [[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 ''[[Battletoads]]'' that paid off with a horribly short ending. {{quote\| "...FUCK THAT ENDING!"}} * [[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 (theatre)\|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' and ''[[Les Misérables (theatre)\|Les Misérables]]''.) Line 100: * [[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 ''[[~~Dragon Ball~~Dragonball Evolution]]'' where LK exhibits not-so-[[Erotic Eating]], his cameos in other peoples' videos tend to involve some degree of [[Squick]]. In fact, his very last contribution to TGWTG before leaving the site was a cameo in the team ''[[The Last Airbender]]'' review, where he appears at the door shirtless, holding a banana, and grinning suggestively before Y Ruler of Time slams the door in his face. ** 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 124: {{reflist}} [[Category:That Guy With ~~the~~The Glasses ~~(Website)~~]] [[Category:~~Lord Kat~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
