| The '''Lord of Games''', often abbreviated to '''L.O.G.''', is a major character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. He is sick and tired of the ongoing rivalry of [[Banjo]], [[Kazooie]], and [[Gruntilda]], and decides to put an end to it in one final showdown. He hopes his showdown will reveal who's truly worthy of owning [[Spiral Mountain]]; The winner gets the deed to Spiral Mountain, and the loser is subject to an eternity to work at his video game factory. He goes through the trouble of creating [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts#Worlds and Levels|every world in which they compete]]. | | The '''Lord of Games''', often abbreviated to '''L.O.G.''', is a major character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.

| L.O.G. is a tall, thin, imposing figure. He is dressed in modestly simplistic mauve robes and finery. His golden head is in the shape of a Retro Television. The screen that makes up his "face" is green, and stylized to look like a game of [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], one of the first video games ever created, with his two eyes being the paddles and his long nose being made up of the ball and screen-divider. Climbing all around L.O.G.'s body are small pink mechanical piglets(Hence a line : Pet my piglet!) with plugs for tails. | | L.O.G. is a tall, thin, imposing figure.

| As L.O.G. has created every video game, he seems all-powerful when in one. Some abilities he's shown to possess include teleportation, the ability to "pause" the game at will (he is unaffected by said pause), and the ability to transform video game characters as he pleases. At one point, he also threatens to reduce Banjo and Kazooie to basic pixels. He uses these magical powers to create several game worlds just for the battle between Banjo, Kazooie and Grunty. | | As L.O.G. has created every video game, he seems all-powerful when in one.

| L.O.G. first makes his appearance at [[Spiral Mountain]], where he appears just in time to stop a fight between Banjo-Kazooie and Gruntilda from occurring by (literally) pausing it (the word 'Pause' appears on screen and Banjo, Kazooie, and Gruntilda are frozen in time as L.O.G materializes). Rather than have them let their fight ensue, he sends them on a quest to collect things scattered around the mountain. After deciding the challenge he concocted was pointless, sends the three to [[Showdown Town]] in newly-created vehicles, where the game really begins. | | L.O.G. first makes his appearance at [[Spiral Mountain]], where he appears just in time to stop a fight between Banjo-Kazooie and Gruntilda from occurring by (literally) pausing it (the word 'Pause' appears on screen and Banjo, Kazooie, and Gruntilda are frozen in time as L.O.G materializes).

| *'''L.O.G.:''' Greetings, O second-game characters!.<br />'''Banjo''' W-who are you?<br />'''L.O.G.:''' My title is the Lord of Games, but you has-beens call me L.O.G. I am the grand creator of all videogames!"<br />'''Kazooie:''' Even ones that don't sell very well, like ''Ghoulies''?<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Your name is odd and you look a bit queer, so tell old Grunty what brings L.O.G. here?<br />'''L.O.G.:''' I come to settle your differences, cliched crone. You will play a challenge of my choice. To the winner goes Spiral Mountain. To the loser... an eternity of toil in my video game factory!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' This sounds like a preposterous ruse, what'll you do if we refuse?<br />(He turns them into a pumpkin and a frog creature)<br />'''Banjo:''' Oh dear...<br />'''L.O.G.:''' I wish they could stay like this, but I suppose you people would actually like to take a part in this game.<br />Now then, in line with Banjo tradition, your challenge will consist of collecting as many pointless objects as possible. Let the Collectathon commence!<br />No no, it's all too painful to watch, gamers today don't want all this, they just want to shoot things! But as we're broadening the demographic, I'll have to think of something original. Hmmm. Very well then, failures, listen carefully.<br />'''Kazooie:''' Failures? We've been in several games already!<br />'''L.O.G.:''' But nowhere near as many as that [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario Italian gentleman], correct?<br />'''Banjo:''' He does have a point.<br />'''L.O.G.:''' I will now transport you to a brand new game world, considerably more impressive than anything you've seen before.<br />'''Gruntlda:''' My body's gone but not my eyes, all I see is a pack of lies!<br />'''Banjo:''' Mr. L.O.G., I don't think any of us are really in good enough shape for another adventure.<br />'''L.O.G.:''' Any other requests?<br />'''Kazooie:''' Hey, L.C.D. brain, where are my moves from the previous games?<br />'''L.O.G.:''' You won't be needing those. They were rather outdated, anyway.<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Bird was bad in our last game, now it seems she's extra lame!<br />'''L.O.G.:''' Please follow me in those vehicles before I change my mind.<br />'''Kazooie:''' Come on Banjo, grab us the cool-looking one!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Too slow, loosers. Watch me go! I'll win it this time, I just know!<br />'''Banjo:''' This one looks a bit safer...<br />'''Kazooie:''' No, it looks like a shopping trolley. We'll really look very stupid.

| *"This charming locale is known as Showdown Town".

| *"Perched up there is my splendid videogame factory".
| | LOG screenshot 1.png|L.O.G. wants to keep Banjo and Grunty in their current transformations. |
| *"While exploring the town, look for these doors, which lead into game worlds of my own creation. There you'll find Jigsaw pieces..." "Jiggies? Is that the best you could come up with? We've run around chasing Jiggies at least twice before!" "Silence, bregull. Deposit the Jigsaw pieces in the Jiggy Bank, and more doors will open to you" - Kazooie and L.O.G.
| | LOG screenshot 2.png|L.O.G. about to introduce Banjo and Kazooie's new adventure. |
| *"Win and bank enough Jiggies to open the final door, return to Spiral Mountain and potentially win the game."
| | LOG screenshot 3.png|L.O.G. at the start of The Six of the Best. |
| *"Grunty's role in my wonderful game is quite simple. She must try to prevent you two from getting back to Spiral Mountain." "But how we play your daft game when you've stolen my abilities?" - Kazooie and L.O.G.
| | LOG screenshot 4.png|L.O.G. in the ending. |
| *"By using this, impatient bird of dubious popularity." "A rusty metal stick? You've got to be joking, tube head!" - Kazooie and L.O.G.
| | LOG screenshot 5.png|Another screenshot of L.O.G. in the ending. |
| *"Actually, you'll find that rusty stick to be a magical wrench with near-unlimited creative power."
| | LOG screenshot 6.png|L.O.G. provides the deed to Banjo, declaring him the owner of Spiral Mountain. |
| *"Oh my, Piddles isn't going to like that."

| *Now then, hold down the LB right trigger to pick up objects, and release it to drop them. Pick up this."

| *"That Trophy Thomas fellow seems to think his gifts equal my own, but when it comes to maximizing your Jiggy count by replaying games, he does serve a purpose."
| |
| *"I invented the first-person shooter, you know. Wish I hadn't bothered now. Have you seen how many of the thing there are? I expect there's even a space marine in this game somewhere."
| |
| *"You may be restricted to a single vehicle in Showdown Town, but don't let that put you off experimenting with your best new parts to create mean machines for use in the game worlds!"
| |
| *"Whatever the outcome of this conflict, do you think you could consider not having a nemesis for a while? Your squabbling gives me a serious migraine, right here, behind my screen."
| |
| *"The Jinjos in the game worlds are rather more independent than the few remaining in Showdown Town, who may need some help to escape their current circumstances."
| |
| *"I discarded a lot of game worlds from this adventure. The Sewers of Severity, Vomit Volcano, Tooty Land... None of them made the cut, for whatever reason."
| |
| *"They're all in the pipeline. You know. Killer Instinct 3. Battletoads and Jet Force Gemini games. Even Ghoulies 2! Oh you'll never believe that. I've ruined my own humorous jape."
| |
| *"You should be grateful, I could've sent you to Hoedown Town. It's awful. The music, the dancing! -L.O.G saying about the beta world Weird West
| |
| *"What's that? You want to know why you've never met or heard of me before? Well, I'm very good at disguising myself. Pet my piglet!"
| |
| *"Sigh. This latest batch of characters is even more dysfunctional than I suspected."
| |
| *"I'll assume that was an accident. Keep it up and I'll reduce you to constituent pixels!"
| |
| *"When you're ready, press the A Button and let's begin the game!".
| |
| *"Now for your next test. Collect Grunty's eye and put it where it belongs! That's right, in the skip. Oh, very well, the "Dumpster". Sigh..."
| |
| *"I do believe that's the right answer!".
| |
| *"Well done, you answered that correctly!".
| |
| *"Excellent, a correct answer!".
| |
| *"All question answered correctly! Aren't you the smart one?"
| |
| *"My eyes are almost popping out of my screen! A performance like that earns you the very highest reward!"
| |
| *"I don't think that will be necessary, Banjo." "Why not, smart mouth? - L.O.G. and Kazooie.
| |
| *"Because you've just won the game."
| |
| *"(Referring to Gruntilda) Oh, but you are. Farewell, you half-baked harridan!
| |
| *"Now, if you two wouldn't mind smartening yourselves up, I'll see you later to collects your prize."
| |
| *"By the video game powers invested in me by myself, I hereby declare Banjo to be the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain, for now and evermore."
| |
| *"(Reffering to Kazooie's question) Good point, although you may never get another game."
| |
| *"I believe somebody has something to show you."
| |
| *"Of course, I have the best gift for you. It's just a little something I made eariler."
| |
| *"Let's take a look, shall we?".
| |
| *Alas, No. The warp system is built to transport vehicles. Not of bunch of animals running on foot like. Well... like animals. Hop back into yout Trolley and try again
