Some of you may remember that our buddies at Internet Superstar filmed a live show at ROFLCon a few weeks back, with guests Leslie Hall, Denny Blaze, and Tron Guy. For those of you who weren’t able to see the taping, it’s on the interwebs now. And it does not disappoint. Beautiful, beautiful.

edit: don’t believe me when I say how badass it is? Check out this post about how much the segment rocks.
