If you're one of the eight people on this planet who watch MTV2, congratulations! You knew that this week was MTV2's “Otaku Week.”
For the rest of us, um...it's MTV2's “Otaku Week.” Yay!(?) Apparently the method of celebration is to post videos from Otakon 2008, never mind that it was nearly six months ago. So far we have a video of kids playing what appears to be Yu-Gi-Oh! (does “Toon Goblin Attack Force” mean anything to you?), and another video of a Link cosplayer.
Well, it's lulz-worthy, but probably not the way MTV2 meant it all to be....

"lol didnt knew this o and yes MTV sucks :PWOW you are a big Yu-gi-Oh fan ^^
Gia:Toon Goblin attack force has 2300 attack points and can attack your lifepoints directly with toon world on the field and after the end of the battle phase you gotta put it in defense mode which is 0 ^^"
