Line 16:
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 the Glasses (Website)|That Guy With theThe 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 (Video Game)|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 "[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]], and [[Obscurus Lupa]]. Especially popular are the [[Dungeons and Dragons]] sessions: [[SpoonysSpoony'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:
Line 25:
* '''[[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 Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)|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]].
Line 38:
=== 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: theThe Forever Man (Comic Book)|Chakan the Forever Man]]''.
** 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 (Video Game)Hiryu|Strider]]'' for example.
* [[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 58:
** "Keep it up, and eventually..." ''*shows the game's outro*''
* [[Challenge Gamer]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: During ''[[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|Brad Tries Durian Fruit]]'', [[Lord Kat]] lamented on how Brad was stepping into his territory, and how he has his hot wife join him, and was becoming more popular, while all [[Lord Kat]] has is a stuffed cow. He proceeds to hang himself with an HDMI cord.
* [[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 (Web Video)|Spoony]], no less) after months of work.
** 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 69:
** [[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 (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] became memorably infuriated by them. On one occasion he beat [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|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 (Web Video)|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 (Web Video)|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.
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 Withwith Fire]]: Jason's regular approach to playing [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]] and [[Left 4 Dead 2]].
** Also, his character Grae in [[SpoonysSpoony'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 (Video Game)|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 Withwith 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''.
Line 90:
{{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 Asas 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 "[http://www.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 (Video Game)|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 (Theatretheatre)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' and ''[[Les Misérables (Theatretheatre)|Les Misérables]]''.)
** He also enjoys classical music.
** Actually, that makes him seem more [[Sophisticated As Hell]].
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]]: ''[[Battletoads (Video Game)|Battletoads]]'' induced this in him, and he once went off on a rant about how [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|certain people]] blame LJN for NES licensed games, when in reality they were just the marketer and many of them were in fact made by fan favourite company Rare.
* [[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 [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]] and [[Left 4 Dead 2]]:
** [[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.
