'''Gatowag''' is the hero [[chat realm]] usually deserves, but just not the one it really ever needed. He is oft present during the live shows, although he generally lurks in the rafters.
'''Brandt Hughes''' (aka '''Gatowag''') is a content producer for Bizarre Magic Inc.
 
On December 4, 2012, it was announced during [[So I Hired an Axe Murderer|an episode]] of [[NSFW]] that he would be [[Brian Brushwood]]'s new touring road manager. Over the course of 2013 his responsibilities evolved into content creation, culminating into the [[Scam School]] takeover in December of 2013.
 
==Early BBverse==
Brandt was first inducted as a viewer and member of the [[Chat Room|chatrealm]] around [[BBLiveShow]] [[Episode 10]]. He did not become a contributing and known member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run. During this period of time, he bonded with [[Kuhan]] and collaborated to create and distribute NSFW and BBLiveShow related apparel. The venture was not met with much success, although some merch still exists with a few long-standing members of chatrealm.
 
Brandt's first notable contribution to the community was the well-received [[TPIA]] shirt design. He then surfaced in the after show of NSFW [[Play Them Off Keyboard Communist|Episode 30]] with the acclaimed [[Night Attack]] [[adobeshop]] (foreshadowing his work on the similarly named comedy album and podcast). He became a staple in the creative branch of chatrealm with his short film entries in the [[The 10 More Seconds Film Festival|Second 10 Second Film Festival]], [http://youtu.be/oOXNtYWpdeY If All Went Well] and [http://youtu.be/9g4vaqQ7J2I A SHORT Film]. Both entries lost to the guest host [[Jason Howell]], who submitted his own [http://youtu.be/25szRIOhWDk video] and declared it the ultimate winner.
 
Over time, Brandt grew to be an increasingly active member of the community.
 
==On The Assist==
After graduating college, Brandt initiated discussion with Brushwood over the then open assistant / touring stage manager position. After confirming in person in late 2012, it was publicly announced live on NSFW 156 [[So I Hired an Axe Murderer]].
 
He has since taken over tour manager duties, fulfilling his spiritual obligations as inherited from Brian's assistant ancestry. In addition to this, Brandt acted as lead designer and editor for many of Brian's projects. Most notably: editor of [[Night Attack 2]], editor of [[Behind The Scam]], camera operator and editor of [[Extra Credit]], product designer for many products on [[Scam Stuff]], as well as creating promotional material for these products.
 
In December of 2013, [[Scam School]] switched from an Austin-based production company to in-house production. Brandt's role then switched heavily into content production, spending much of his time as camera operator and sole editor of Scam School. As a result, Scam School has since evolved in style and design.
 
In June of 2014, [[Brushwood]] began bracing for impact of his multi-month ''vacation'' in Los Angeles, CA. Brandt was tasked with live-switching out of the Austin studio as the regular technical producer for [[Night Attack]] while Brian was on location. His first episode as technical producer of Night Attack was episode 18, [[Unity Swag]]. He had previously switched a couple of early episodes of [[Cordkillers]].

What is known of Gatowag is that he is a photographer / filmmaker residing in north-eastern Texas. He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the [[Chat Room|chatrealm]] around BBLive episode 10. He did not become a contributing and known member of [[chatrealm]] until the end of [[BBLiveShow]]'s run. During his rise to prominence, he teamed with [[Kuhan]] to create and distribute [[NSFW]] and [[BBLiveShow]] related apparel through [http://www.cafepress.com/gatowag Cafepress], although has since abandoned Cafepress because Cafepress is terrible and can go [[Die in a Fire|DIAF]].

His first notable [[BBVerse]] contribution was the overwhelmingly loved [[TPIA]] shirt design. He then surfaced in the after show of NSFW [[Play Them Off Keyboard Communist|Episode 30]] with the acclaimed [[Night Attack]] [[adobeshop]]. He also created an unaired 10 second [http://youtu.be/VYo8bJy7krc film] for NSFW [[Christopher Coppola and the Infinite Sadness|Episode 53]]. He really won over the chatrealm in the highly controversial [[The 10 More Seconds Film Festival|Second 10 Second Film Festival]] with his short films [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOXNtYWpdeY If All Went Well] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g4vaqQ7J2I A SHORT Film]. Although to the dismay of the [http://zombo.com/ Internet] our guest host, [[Jason Howell]], was clearly involved in some mischievous and morally questionable shenanigans wherein he submitted his own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25szRIOhWDk video] and declared it the ultimate winner.

Gatowag was livid at the NSFW Show Movie Poster controversy, where entries were to be voted upon at 2011 Dragon*Con, although never got past the preliminary viewings the week before. He was also disheartened at his omission from the third 10 second film festival, although was comforted by the overall increase in quality and regained his faith in the inimitable [[Jason Howell]].

Brandt Hughes (aka Gatowag) is a content producer for Bizarre Magic Inc.

On December 4, 2012, it was announced during an episode of NSFW that he would be Brian Brushwood's new touring road manager. Over the course of 2013 his responsibilities evolved into content creation, culminating into the Scam School takeover in December of 2013.

Early BBverse

Brandt was first inducted as a viewer and member of the chatrealm around BBLiveShow Episode 10. He did not become a contributing and known member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run. During this period of time, he bonded with Kuhan and collaborated to create and distribute NSFW and BBLiveShow related apparel. The venture was not met with much success, although some merch still exists with a few long-standing members of chatrealm.

Brandt's first notable contribution to the community was the well-received TPIA shirt design. He then surfaced in the after show of NSFW Episode 30 with the acclaimed Night Attack adobeshop (foreshadowing his work on the similarly named comedy album and podcast). He became a staple in the creative branch of chatrealm with his short film entries in the Second 10 Second Film Festival, If All Went Well and A SHORT Film. Both entries lost to the guest host Jason Howell, who submitted his own video and declared it the ultimate winner.

Over time, Brandt grew to be an increasingly active member of the community.

On The Assist

After graduating college, Brandt initiated discussion with Brushwood over the then open assistant / touring stage manager position. After confirming in person in late 2012, it was publicly announced live on NSFW 156 So I Hired an Axe Murderer.

He has since taken over tour manager duties, fulfilling his spiritual obligations as inherited from Brian's assistant ancestry. In addition to this, Brandt acted as lead designer and editor for many of Brian's projects. Most notably: editor of Night Attack 2, editor of Behind The Scam, camera operator and editor of Extra Credit, product designer for many products on Scam Stuff, as well as creating promotional material for these products.

In December of 2013, Scam School switched from an Austin-based production company to in-house production. Brandt's role then switched heavily into content production, spending much of his time as camera operator and sole editor of Scam School. As a result, Scam School has since evolved in style and design.

In June of 2014, Brushwood began bracing for impact of his multi-month vacation in Los Angeles, CA. Brandt was tasked with live-switching out of the Austin studio as the regular technical producer for Night Attack while Brian was on location. His first episode as technical producer of Night Attack was episode 18, Unity Swag. He had previously switched a couple of early episodes of Cordkillers.
