[NEWS] Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011

Shawn Handyside — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 21:39:27 +0000

Attention people of George-ia. This weekend Alyssa and I will be attending your precious Anime Weekend Atlanta! Despite never stepping foot in Atlanta before, I assume that it is a land with a rich colorful history which I will completely fail to appreciate as I sit at booth #164 hawking our wares and handing out high fives.

See you there! Or maybe not? I’ve never been to Georgia so maybe no one actually lives there? Prove me wrong!

At first I was skeptical, but after watching this I have to agree there actually was a hell of a lot of boats showing up in the video games at this year’s E3.

[VIDEO] How to bypass unlocking the full version of X-Men Arcade

Shawn Handyside — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 07:40:26 +0000

It’s not so much bypassing as it’s enjoying the game in it’s original 6 player arcade double-wide glory!

Figured I’d post this as I will be at MAGFest today to Sunday! The show is sold out, but if you’ve already got your ticket be sure to swing by and see us in the vendors/artists room!

Also I might have made a MAGFest exclusive shirt/hoodie design based off their own video game meme JUST FOR THIS SHOW! Talk about limited edition! I can’t help myself sometimes…

[VIDEO] That BlizzCon Contestant’s ah Spah!

Shawn Handyside — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 08:32:43 +0000

If you were watching BlizzCon 2010 on Saturday (like I was) and caught the costume contest, you may have noticed an unusual pinstriped addition this year. (For those impatient, skip to around the 2:45 mark.) Probably would have been funnier if it was a more Blizzard themed disguise, but hey when it comes to TF2 infiltration at a Blizzard con I’ll take what I can get!

[NEWS] New York Comic Con 2010

Shawn Handyside — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 04:50:50 +0000

Hey guys, just a reminder we’re going to be at New York Comic Con (which also doubles as New York Anime Fest) this weekend!

“Another convention?” you mutter. “Bah! Flimshaw! You guys go to lots of conventions!”

Yes that is true… HOWEVER this convention is going to be an even bigger deal than usual! Check this out:

• Special appearance by everyone’s favorite video game lyricist brentalfloss! Brent will be at our booth at various times during the weekend for autographs, high fives and idle chit-chat! Also you can buy his CD and/or his new limited edition print!

• Special appearance by H. Caldwell Tanner of LOLDWELL! Caldy will also be making an appearance at the Halolz booth! He will also be signing autographs, giving out brofists, and if you ask him real nice he may even draw a Pokémon from the Pokéname Game!

• Exclusive new Halolz merch! We’re going to have three brand new never before seen t-shirt designs, and on top of that a brand new top secret item that you guys are going to go nuts over! Be the first to pick up these amazing new mystery items!

Wow! So how do you find us at the show? Well here’s a little map to help you out!

Be sure to stop by this weekend for one of our biggest shows of the year! See you there!

[NEWS] Intervention & TooManyGames

Shawn Handyside — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 10:33:37 +0000

Just a quick reminder, we’re at Intervention this weekend in the Washington D.C. area.
If you’re in the area be sure to swing by and check out the show!

Also a last minute convention addition, we’ll be at TooManyGames in Wyomissing, PA next Sunday! If you’re a fan of classic video gaming you may want to check this one out. See you there!

[NEWS] PAX and Intervention 2010

Shawn Handyside — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:07:25 +0000

So I’ve been doing a pretty poor job talking about the shows we’ve been going to this year… this summer in particular was just packed… (Four shows in July? Whhhhyyy??) But I feel like we really should announce these things so lets see if I can get back into the trend…

Intervention (Sept 10-12 • Washington D.C.)

Intervention is a brand new show taking place in the D.C. area in two weeks that is being billed as an “internet convention,” which is to say a con for all the stuff from your online life. I’ll be honest, I don’t normally sign up for brand new shows, but I love the concept. It’s a nice departure from the usual anime/gaming billed shows… I feel like this is the kind of show that can understand where a video game humor/meme site is coming from!

And of course they’ve got plenty of cool guests from webcomics and video games, so I feel like this is a show you should really check out! Also my pal Caldy is going to be there (you know, the artist behind our Falcon Lunch shirt!) so that’s a pretty awesome opportunity in itself!

PAX (Sept 3-5 • Seattle, WA)

You might have briefly caught Penny Arcade Expo on the schedule last week, but in fact I will not be attending/doing a meet-up. PAX is a show I’d desperately love to do in some capacity, but it’s never going to happen because of the way the Penny Arcade Corporation does business.

However if you are planning on attending PAX this year and are a big fan of Halolz, we will seriously send you a free t-shirt of from Ninja-Bot if you wear it during the show! If this is something you’re interested in, send an email to store[at]ninja-bot.com and we’ll get a shirt out to you in time for the con!
