Like last year, here's a Mega Post of videos from MAGFest! First up is, of course, THE LIVE SHOW! What have I uncovered from the depths of gaming for my third live show?
Next up is an interview I did after the live show!
Let's continue into the next day with THE GREAT NERF GUN WAR! Mind you, the thing lasted for an hour but these are just the first several minutes. My NERF knock-off shotgun was a big hit amongst my peers thanks to ejectable shells.
And in the evening... THAT GUY WITH THE GLASSES PANEL!
And like last year, I was throwing marshmallows. Some fans actually gave me a marshmallow gun, but I did not have time to assemble it before the panel.
There will probably be more to come after this, in particular several crossovers that I participated in, but just as a preview for the one that *I* am putting together, I leave you with this picture courtesy of the Critical Marine.

Love the DeLorean picture. Can't wait to see what it's all about.
A NERF gun war? Man, now I really wish I had gone this year. I've been souping up my Ghostbusters proton pack with a NERF neutrona thrower that still fires darts. Plus, my Longshot and trusty Spectre would've also been useful : D
Great pic of you in that DeLorean. Whose was it?
Our hero is...the human flame from final crisis?!?
Okay, I have to ask this... Is Mighty Morphin Rump Rangers REALLY as bad as you make it sound?
*looking at the Deloeran picture* why is it that I am hearing the 7th doctor going "come on Ace, lets roll!"
What was the last question on the TGWTG panel, I couldn't hear it (in fact, I had that problem several times with that video)
awesome review, linkara. I think you've got the live show style down :-)
Doctor Who in a Time Traveling DeLorean.
Instant classic
Hmm...that photo connected to that crossover a guest on the PutzCast mentioned a few months back? The possible video with two people you mentioned when help was requested back in the Planet of the Symbiotes review?
"Doctor Who in a Time Traveling DeLorean.
Instant classic "
Better yet, how about a full-fledged TARDIS in a DeLorean?
...So you're a huge Animorphs fan, huh? Well I got something to say to that...*hugs tightly* God bless you, you wonderful man, I thought I was the only huge Animorphs fan left! lol
I'm jealous because I wanted a time traveling DeLorean! Oh well, hope you had fun there.
That guy who interviewed you was terrible and unprofessional, you were great
"That guy who interviewed you was terrible and unprofessional, you were great"
He was tired; give him a break
Best. Weekend. Ever! Thank you for making this such a fantastic experience. Can't wait to go back next year!
It seems, you had fun. ^^

The fanfiction going through my head just looking at that DeLorean picture. A TARDIS shaped like a DeLorean! With the Doctor!
*Goes to bang head against the wall to stop fanfiction thoughts*
I do declare, Mr. Lovhaug.
I liked this wish I could've been there to seen this live!
I've heard of this promo comic before! it was in a Cracked article and it is as bad as I remember them saying. Pretty much it's complete craziness from the company!
How dare another company try to out sale us! We'll send an over weight man in his late 30s to shoot at them in the worst costume ever!
This does make me wonder do you read Cracked!?
I actually bought that Mighty Morphin' Rump Rangers comic and paid waaaay over price for it just to see what we'll be in for when this review is done and I just gotta wonder how are you going to do this!? and it is sickeningly gross with the pus and diarrhea humor! Also, it made my inner child cry seeing them all raped a-la Pulp fiction style! :(
Ok either the audio is weird or your accent is because when you said "you in the Black Shirt" I swore you said, "You Mr. Blackshire" like as in my real name!
Have you seen RoboCop 2 as of yet!? Because it's the best of the sequels! also there is a 4th but it ignores the 2nd and 3rd movies!
"Okay, I have to ask this... Is Mighty Morphin Rump Rangers REALLY as bad as you make it sound?"
YES! Really bad art (it's drawn a lot like those Garbage Pale Kids card but by a lesser skilled person... Also it's equal to the movie version of that subject in quality), A lot of mostly empty panels, gross out humor to the max (think of Troma movies like Poultrigiest and/or Citizen Toxie) , ect!
There's a scene of 2 creatures attack a school bus and they do this by one popping a boil on it's ass that covers the bus in pus (Dammit I rimed) and the same creature them squirting diarrhea allover that!
And finally a reenactment of the rape scene from Pulp fiction! :P
Hopefully this doesn't ruin the review!
On Revenge of AT4W Live, Johnny Turbo looks more like Phelous if he was on crack and robbed a halloween store for his costume.
You missed a really good joke oppertunity.
Looks like you had a ton of fun :) Awesome nerf war and great live AT4W.
@ Clare:
I can only speak for myself, but - go ahead and write it. I'd like to read it, that is for sure. ^^

Did Nella really peg the guy who asked about HOPR? Because that was an awesome and appropriate answer.
I don't think toy stores have adult sections, but I do know of a place where a Toys R' Us is situated right next to a porn shop. Does that count?
And those were the days of game companies spreading crap against each other to pimp their own project. Anyone remember "Sega does what Ninten Don't"? Those were awesome days. THough this is not an awesome comic series.
"Did Nella really peg the guy who asked about HOPR? Because that was an awesome and appropriate answer."
Not exactly. XD
I was going to have him come closer so I could throw marshmallows at him, but then she took the bag and threw it at him... except, instead of it reaching the guy, a fan in the audience CAUGHT IT IN MID-AIR. XD
Everyone signed the bag of marshmallows at the autograph signing afterwards. XD
Hey I like how you mentioned Candle Cove =D. Just was curious if knew it was written by Kris Straub cause he has had problems being recognized as the author since creepy pasta has given it a wider audience, and have you seen any of his other work like his comic Starslip or the Blamimations at Penny Arcade?
hey linkara nostalgia critic has posted the star trek motion picture review just a awhile ago
Yeah. I made some major fuckups in the interview, namely, forgetting to bring my microphone and having been awake for approximately thirty-one hours when I conducted it. It was fun interviewing you though, Lewis, and I know I already told you at least once.
Wow -- I've seen bad comics, TV shows, and movies based on video games, but that was before Johnny Turbo! I didn't even know it actually exists. My God, that was terrible.
Say Linkara, are you going to do the last Johnny Turbo comic eventually?
Seeing these vids makes me wish I could have gone to MAGFest. Anyway, can't wait to see your crossovers!
... Man, I could have made a killing at that NERF war... then again, my strategy involves two Mavericks, wielding them inverted, and going guns akimbo on everyone.
... Yeah I'm going to have problems reloading, but good Lord would I look so bad-a doing that!? OK, I'll fall far of Linkara as the Seventh Doctor with a shotgun, but with steampunk goggles and a black duster... that's still bad-a.
And once again you have made me laugh severely with your live show, Lewis. Really I love the whole atmosphere when it comes to these shows and really there's something about them that just brings tears of joy running down my face. That could be from me laughing so hard... Still, I'll be waiting for more greatness that came out of MAGfest. Here's to another good year!
And I feel bad for Justin... I really do...
Yeah, the whole nerf battle was going on just outside the windows from where I was working at Registration. Thanks for keeping us Magfest workers entertained!
~The one with green hats who asked the brony question
Also, thank you for posting my video of the Nerf War.
A good time was had by all... except Linkara who was asked when the next HOPR will be out:P
I thought your interaction with Nella was hilarious is the nostalgia chicks BFF going to be involved in any of your upcoming crossovers, because it looks like you are warring her scarf in that picture
sooooo.... why did you decide to do the tgwtg panel that way...? It felt a lot less personal than the usual panel and seemed really, really strange that the HR chick stood in front of you guys blocking the view of most of the people. Also she kind of came off as very... "controlling" and "cold", which killed any sense of familiarity and/or warmth the panels usually have. Sooo... yeah why the changes?
"A good time was had by all... except Linkara who was asked when the next HOPR will be out:P"
It will be out when it's done. Linkara is not a god despite what some people like to think. Why can't people let it go?

Because unlike last year, we only had an hour. And chances are if we didn't have it controlled in some fashion, some people would probably not even get any questions asked.
Real time travellers use Deloreans!
Damn you Americans and your ability to have constant cons and have the Channel Awesome people show up to them! Or maybe I should be damning my own country for failing to do conventions that they would want to come to. Lousy Australia.
Also, and God forbid this ever happen, if Linkara!Doctor ever regenerates, my money's on the next regeneration being the Rod Serling-style character (and the fake cigarette is the new Sonic Screwdriver. Because every REgeneration has things get smaller! ... I'm going to a special Hell for that pun aren't I?)
Or, to throw us off and have a female Doctor (not unlike The Curse Of The Fatal Death, non-canon as it obviously may be)... 80's Chick.
This may sound a bit odd, but Nella and Linkara would be an awesome couple! :P
As a Swedish fan, I'm so jealous of americans and brits who can go to a bunch of awesome cons!
Hey, that DeLorean is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside...
A bit of constructive criticism for the interviewer: while it's good to take notes before jumping into an interview, I would highly recommend having two or three major ones memorized to avoid long pauses in the interview to read off what you have. Also, if the interview gets cut off, you have the major ones ready to go, and ready to go quickly.
Another thing I make sure I do during interviews is keep eye contact with the person you're interviewing--if you're looking around all over at everything but the person you're interviewing, it can come off as disrespectful. I'm not saying he disrespected Lewis by doing so, but he did seem pretty distracted (I read in another comment he was pretty tired--understandable; conventions and festivals are a blast, but are truly exhausting experiences).
All in all though, I enjoyed the interview, and I thought the interviewer did well under the circumstances. I was happy to get some insight into the creation of Lord Vyce, who I think is the coolest character Lewis created for AT4W. He's very much the Ra's al Ghul or, to use a more obscure reference, Sin-Tzu to Linkara's Batman. I always love me some interviews.
