The OTAKON 2005 Game Show was well attended by an audience filled with a game show spirit well appreciated by the OTAKON Game Show crew. The audience laughed at all the gags, applauded all the contestants, and boo-ed when Quiz Sensei told them to! We are also happy to report there were no injuries during "Yaoi Kazowie!" this year.
This year, James Fischer withstood several withering blasts of verbal abuse from the Game Show Computer, and came from behind to take 1st prize! The audience winner, Kumar Wilkins, rode the audience's amazing prowess in "Schmeebs & Nortons" to take 5th place! The winners this year were (left to right) -- James Fischer (1st), Victor Orr (2nd), Tim Johnson (3rd), Lillian Olsen (4th) and Kumar Wilkins (5th).
Here's the friendly but unpredictable OTAKON Game Show crew - back row from (left to right) -- Alex Trebaka, Dr. Matt the Minion, Quiz Sensei, and Anime's Frank (channeling the fighting spirit of Mazinger Z); front row (left to right) -- Karu Maru, and Jenn-X.
Join us next year for the antics of the OTAKON 2006 Game Show!
