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!

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!

Well StarCraft 2 is out, and I imagine all you regular readers would like some way of organizing online meet-ups! Unfortunately I have no real idea how to make a group or a clan or what have you… but I did start a thread on the forums to get us started, and for those who would like to add me to their SC2 friends lists, my Battle.net email is shawn[at]staccatocomic.com.
Feel free to add me and maybe we can get some versus games going!

So sometimes when we go to these big conventions, you’ll see groups of protesters outside the show protesting… God knows what. Well I guess the attendees of SDCC decided to do some counter-protesting, and I have to say this particular gentleman stood out (which is something he generally avoids doing).

I’ve seen my fair share of jokes around this guy’s dancing at E3, but really you just haven’t experienced it until it’s set to Guile’s theme!
