Gatowag
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. He had teamed with Kuhan to create and distribute NSFW and BBLiveShow related apparel through Cafepress, although has since abandoned Cafepress because Cafepress is terrible and can go DIAF. He now makes totally badass shirts at Spreadshirt, all hand-drawn in beautiful high resolution with a Wacom Intuous.
What is known of Gatowag is that he is a photographer / filmmaker residing in north-eastern Texas. He attends a local college. He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the chatrealm around BBLive episode 10. He did not become a contributing member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run.
His first notable BBVerse contribution was the overwhelmingly loved TPIA shirt design. He then surfaced in the after show of NSFW Episode 30 with the acclaimed Night Attack adobeshop. He also created an unaired 10 second film for NSFW Episode 53. He really won over the chatrealm in the highly controversial Second 10 Second Film Festival with his short films If All Went Well and A SHORT Film. Although to the dismay of the Internet our guest host, Jason Howell, was clearly involved in some mischievous and morally questionable shenanigans wherein he submitted his own video and declared it the ultimate winner. Authorities are still pursuing an unresolved investigation on the matter.
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.
What is a Gatowag?
It's an acronym. Phonetically it's pronounced gah-toe-wag or gat-oh-wag, pending on your localization. If you're Brian you'll just call him "gaytowag" even though he prefers the former (but who really cares).
