Now that things are starting to get to a point where people are really getting stoked about the upcoming Fanime, I figure it's about time to start getting discussions going for this year's GTL show.
Thus far, I think I have a pretty good show planned out, but I'm not above taking suggestions from future attendants as to what you'd like to see.
Keep in mind that suggestions have to be within legal and physical feasibility, which rules out things like blowing up computers on stage or quadruple backflips out of the rafters, though that would be pretty sweet...
Anyway, consider this your virtual suggestion box for all things GTL at Fanime. Happy posting.
I missed the show last year (due to unenlightenment of Megatokyo) - is there a video or something I can download? ^_^
I saw the many images on the GTL site, though...looked fun, so I'm hoping to come to this year's panel and have a laugh ^_^
We didn't get a video last year, but it's a priority for this year's show. The camera man I have seems like he's pretty reliable; I had someone record a show at Otakon on year, and he never got back to me with anything...
To Largo: "PC or Mac?"
Yeah, that was me from last year's GTL. :lol:
*whispers to Miho cosplayer* psst...walk up to him and knock 'im out...then we could have a Great Robot Ping worship panel...;)
Will the video be made available for download, or do we have to buy a copy? And if we have to buy it, how much will it cost?
what the hell is a GTL show?

Heh heh... Glad you asked... It's.... GREAT TEACHER LARGO! ^^
That's awesome. Really, really awesome.

And you almost got me lynched.

I'll be putting the video up online at www.GTLproject.com (http://www.gtlproject.com), along with snapshots.
will the gtl panel return for fanime '06?
It's highly unknown for that...
Leave it up to Blues to decide.
Quote from: "otakuapprentice"will the gtl panel return for fanime '06?
We can only hope and pray.
*everyone starts praying and wishing for GTL for fanime '06*
If we could get fred to fanime that would be even better >>

Yup. If I can recall, Fanime last year. 04.
I know that much. I just want him to come again.
~Chun
I want to be Dom again! ^^
We need to see if Largo (in MT) is still a "Great Teacher" by then. Right now, it's iffy.
Heheh... I keep getting a funny image of a Gallagher-like segment where Largo destroys objects that he deems as "obsolete".
But of course, I'd suggest supplying the first few rows with ponchos if that was ever a possible event ^^;
Holy crap, people are actually posting in this thread already?
Basically, the way it works is if Fanime has a place for the GTL show, it'll be there. I've already started work on the new show for this year, and hopefully we'll even be able to pull it off WITHOUT 2 dozen technical problems in a row...
The casting call is going out again this year. The roles of Ed, Dom, and Miho are reserved for the same people as last year, if they're still interested (and I see at least one of them is). Aside from those, the main role I'm looking to fill this year is Junpei.
If anyone is interested, please PM me.
Hey, it's been a while Blues. Thought you passed out and been in a coma in a hospital (due to an overdose of b33r).
Yup, hopefully, next time around won't be so filled with technical goodies. I'll keep my role, and I'll try to being along one of my new...toys...for Fanime next year. Sorry people, but this one I'm keeping hidden.
you need a piro at all ,Blues?
Yeah, I've been around, but mainly on the GTL boards; I forget about this place sometimes...
Hmmm... I might be able to use a Piro (I haven't really written any of the "script" for this year's upcoming show, I've just been focusing on what's going to be in the actual panel).
Send me a PM with some pics of the costume, or some other cosplay you've done in the past.
mmm
i can pull off a Miho now
she's so sad now.. so i can't pull that off
and i'm getting prepared for a better costume
dont' know how yet -^^-;
Quote from: "saiko_koneko"and i'm getting prepared for a better costume

I suggest magic and good intentions.
Hey, this is the loud-mouthed tennis girl from last year. I was at both shows, and I wanted to say that if they don't have room for you at Fanime this year I will riot. Loudly. With signs and ph33rbots. Out of everything I did last year GTL and DerCosplay were the best, in my opinion, and i waited in line for hours for both. Also, dude, any help you need just drop me a line, I'll do what I can this year, okay? If I have to I'll organize an online petition to get your panel back (if they try to drop it.). ;-)
Hm...were you the one that gave Dom the vibrating sheep of doom?
Nope, not me. I'm the one that told Largo he'd grade better if he put the beer down a couple seconds and used both hands.
YOU SPEAK BLASPHEMY.
Quote from: "Lilghost"Nope, not me. I'm the one that told Largo he'd grade better if he put the beer down a couple seconds and used both hands.
Largo grades best with b33r in him! hey, that should be a grading system(i.e. 5 b33rs= A+)!
I'll be in for Dom again. It might be the only cosplay I'll do anyway.
I suppose now is as good a time as any to start taking suggestions for thing you kids want to see in the show. I have a theme in mind, but I'm always looking for extra stuff to throw in there.
We need a rent-a-zilla, mosh mosh revolution, and Fanime challenge=Super Monkey Ball outside of the con.
Quote from: "Jyunishinsho"We need a rent-a-zilla, mosh mosh revolution, and Fanime challenge=Super Monkey Ball outside of the con.
hah! thats great, but that would work better as a short video/skit during the panel(film video before the day of the panel)

If there's one on-going theme to the GTL show, it's throwing shit together the day before...
And I've just been struck with an idea of how to do it... I don't know if I'm a genius, or just a lunatic...

please share with us how you plan on doing it
I'm afraid that will have to remain a secret until the day of the show.

BLAST!!!
Heh, I like the idea of Mosh Mosh Revolution :D I remember trying to fashion a model of it for a school project. Too bad there were rules against "potential harm to others and/or oneself".
Quote from: "NachoManLance"Heh, I like the idea of Mosh Mosh Revolution :D
STEPMANIA THEMING CAN DO WONDERS :D
okay, let's try and keep ideas within the realm of plausibility.
Quote from: "Blues"okay, let's try and keep ideas within the realm of plausibility.
you wanna keep it within the realm of plausibility, you say?? then lets make fun of the recent dick cheney gun incident, MT style:
Dom: i accidentally shot ed in the face. so?
reporter: but is it true that you had alcohol before the incident?
Dom: yea, but ed dared me to. my reputation was on the line, man! what would you do in a situation like that? huh??? 8)
Heh, I like that ^_^ I could see it as something we'd see in the introductory video.
I'm not a veteran GTL goer, so what topics and themes have been used in past shows? I don't want to suggest anything that's already been done.
Past GTL lessons:
The benefits of B33R
Zombie awareness
Instructional video: "So you want to be 1337?"
Slideshow lecture: "Why Sandrock sucks"
Also:
-Metal Blade being the best weapon in Mega Man 2.
-The Konami code.
It's 1am, so I have only perused one possibility...
On a recent rant on MT, Piro mentioned a book dealing with webcomics, and that he and his site were mentioned as one of seven or so that influenced development of webcomics. But he gives credit also to Largo because his vision of MT was more "webcomic" than his own. So perhaps if we were to dwelve further into "what makes a webcomic", it could work as a GTL lesson?
To Blues (a.k.a. GTL):
Remember to submit the panel idea to Fanime panels on the main page, if you haven't already.
it's taken care of.
... if only i was going.. and that i'd be helping you blues.
youwould love this Blues
i found an nearly exact school girl top like in megatokyo
haha i found it in Goodwill XD
i got it for 2.50
anyways. when i saw it i nearly freaked at the store
but i promise you Blues, i'm trying my best to get to Fanime..
It wouldn't be a Fanime GTL show without you, Koneko.
In other news, in order to try and avoid near riot-stirring questions like "Mac or PC?", I'm seriously conisdering changing the Q&A session at the end of the show to a more focused discussion, such as webcomics, like NachoManLance suggested.
Any other topics you might want to see covered?
oh yea
sure
cuz with out me, then how are you going to make a bunch of inside jokes during the panel
"oh look! you came up here with out falling"
"oh dear, i can't pick you. We got a problem with jumping girls"
"alright come on up!! but don't run.. slower... slower... ok slower.... alright now don't jump up!..."
... aw man.. i've never laughed so hard...
Quote from: "saiko_koneko"oh yea
sure
cuz with out me, then how are you going to make a bunch of inside jokes during the panel
I posted the link to the GTL video with that 'event' a while ago. ^_^
As far as the GTL press conference/class/Q&A/etc topics:
-MMR (Mosh Mosh Revolution)
-PPXX (Punished Pinion XX)
-Super Moe-Moe Ball
-A l33t guide to anime conventions
-Game controller control
-Japanese game shows
-A l33t gamer diet: milk & ramen, b33r, spaghetti, Anna Miller's, etc
-Secrets of E3, GDC, TGS (Fanime and GDC was held at the same place)
-Getting access to the events above
That is, if Largo is still a 'teacher' by Fanime...
Koneko:
Well, yeah. that's part of it. And you have to admit that that was one of the highlights of the first show; I don't think it would have been half as much of a success without you.
Besides, what a GTL without a Miho?
Otakuya:
Some of those would be good ideas for lessons as part of the show (infact, I might use one or two AND NOT GIVE YOU ANY CREDIT HAR HAR HAR). What I'm looking for here is a subject based in "reality" that can be openly discussed. It doesn't even have to pertain to Megatokyo, so long as it's about some sort of related culture.
I'm very sorry to hear about Koneko. I was looking forward to meeting you #-o
I like the ideas for the panel so far. Most especially towards open discussion, I think it'll be the best part. Hopefully I'll be able to pull off a decent Junpei outfit by the end of this month, I'm saving for new boots.
The GTL panel only has one Miho.
And it's meant for Saiko.
There can only be one; without her; it won't be as fun.
Nor will we see anyone else hurt themselves as such. >w<
aww you guys are sweet
*tear*
-^^- i'm planning to runaway to fanime tho' ^^;
hopefully it will work
BEHOLD!!
THEY ARE SOON TO BE READY FOR LAUNCH!!!

It did happen. Fred did come to Fanime. Not to the panel, however...
I wish when Fred came that I'd been into Megatokyo. All I knew back then was that it was a comic >< and I'm so pissed I missed a chnce to meet Fred ;_; I heard his wife was there too.
Hey, how about the GTA thing? I mean... maybe it was over done... sorry if it's stupid.
Ok, I know I'm necromancing this thread. However, I've been wondering. What happened to the 2006 show? My friends and I were looking forward to it and waited in line for a good 45 minutes or so before being told that it wasn't going to happen. Just curious if anyone knows what happened. Will there be a 2007?
Oy! BLUES!!!
Long time no talk!
We should all get together and have a GTL gathering or something
