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.
Gatowag is a photographer / filmmaker residing in north-eastern Texas. He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the 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 Cafepress, although has since abandoned Cafepress because Cafepress is terrible and can go DIAF. He now hosts totally badass shirts at Spreadshirt, all hand-drawn in beautiful high resolution with a Wacom Intuous.
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 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.
