Featured here is the lovely Patty and her sister Amy with none other than motherfuckin' Mike Sinterniklaas
By far, the best part of Acen for me was the Venture Brother's panel that was held on Saturday. It was actually delayed from its original scheduled time due to the massive number of people who lined up outside the tiny little room they had planned to hold it in. Luckily, Mike Sinterniklaas (the voice of Dean Venture) tided them over with some "Go Team Venture!"s and by climbing up onto the railing of the nearby staircase for good measure. They had to move the whole thing to a room that was at least four times as large.
Mr. Sinterniklaas went out to dinner in the mean time, and actually showed up to the panel a few minutes late with a bag of his left overs, entertaining us while he hastily hooked up his computer. There was absolutely no structure the panel at all, we blew past the scheduled time limit and in the end Mike ended up talking to us about whatever the fuck he wanted to for two whole hours and every second of it was glorious.
He started off strong by sharing his left over strawberry shortcake with us (he actually directly handed it to my friend Patty, as we used our press passes to sneak into the front row), which we then passed around the entire audience. He then went on to hug a woman dressed as Molotov Cocktease, commandeer a guitar from a girl in the audience and play a stirring rendition of the "Ramona" song from Scott Pilgrim, and show us, I shit you not, a world exclusive video of Doc Hammer and Jackson Public reacting to 2girls1cup.
Questions concerning the show itself were on the light side. We heard another confirmation that the Venture Brothers is signed on for two more seasons. He also consoled us about the death of Molotov by drawing attention to the way that death happens to work in the Venture Brothers universe (it's not necessarily very permanent).
The more interesting stuff concerned him and his career. Interestingly enough, what supposedly got him into voice acting in the first place was the fact that he was an anime nerd. He also regaled us with the story of how he crashed the audition for his role on the ninja turtles. Also, in case any of you guys are wondering, his favorite anime is FLCL, which is a question I'm glad that he answered correctly (FLCL is objectively the best anime series).
The best part, however, was the epic finale, which he had us waiting the entire panel for while he searched fruitlessly through his hard drive for a video of Doc Hammer and Jackson Public watching 2girls1cup. It was amazing, however I'm sad to say that we all promised not to film it or post it online. I'll attempt to butcher a few comments from memory: "She had to help along the throw up there, like having poo in her mouth just wasn't enough" and "It came out like brown soft serve, she had to be eating porridge for a week." If I were you, I would write to them and encourage them to have the reactions directly transcribed into an episode of Venture Brothers as spoken by Billy Quizboy and Pete White.
