Oh and this timely submission sent in by Jeot21!

Not sure if it really needs to be mentioned again… but I’m at AnimeExpo in L.A. this weekend with Scott and Dave! Two cons in California in a row? INSANITY.
As always I will have a wide variety of t-shirts on hand (including two brand new designs that are not available yet, and one that is coming out of retirement!) and of course a pile of Halolz posters. Also I should have some sort of new poster based off of the Brawl artwork I’ve been working on the last month (not 100% sure what that’s going to look like though). Anyway, if you’re going to be there you should track me down! I wish I could tell you what booth I’ll be at, but I have no idea! I just know it’s an exhibitors booth so I assume it will be where all the action is on the main floor.
Also Mike is indeed still alive… he has a post queued up for later today! Hopefully he can get some more up this weekend while I’m out of town!
Guess that’s about it. FRINK OUT!

If found contact Shawn, he is very worried!

So I’ve been keeping up with posting submissions pretty well… but the site news, not so much. Here’s some random stuff that’s going on at the moment!
• I have a Deviant Art page now. (Also turns out Mike has one too!) I’ve always been kind of reluctant to sign up at DA, but it actually seems to be working out pretty well for me (I guess it’s the convenience mostly). Anyway I’ve been working on some stuff for THE AWESOMEST SMASH BROS. POSTER EVER MADE and could always use some extra feedback!
• In a little over two weeks I’ll be heading out to Anime Expo in L.A. which I’m told is the biggest anime con in the country… so… that’s going to be interesting (and not stressful in any way!) And of course, if you live in California, this would be another excellent chance to pick up a Halolz poster without paying all that lame shipping!
• I’ve kind of rekindled my love affair with Team Fortress 2 recently (on PC)… and so figured what the heck, I’ll go ahead and make a Halolz group on Steam! So if you get bored we can always use some more Pyros!
• And after a long time of saying I was going to do it… I’ve finally gotten around to putting up a new store page called Ninja-Bot (you might have seen the new ad banner). It’s not all that different than the store page I had on Staccato, but now I have a better place to centralize all the random crap I end up selling. I guess it’s not all that exciting, but I figured I’d mention it anyways…
Hmm, so I guess that’s all I can think of at the moment. Have fun with all those links! FRINK OUT!

Hey folks, sorry if the updates have been a little sparatic… I’ve been rushing around trying to get ready for Fanime 2008 (which I didn’t even get around to mentioning until now).
So yeah, if you’re in the San Jose, CA area this Memorial Day weekend, you should swing by the artist alley and say hi! I will have some of those sweet Halolz Posters (more than I did at NYCC!) and of course all the other wonderful crap I shill on a regular basis! Hope to see some readers there! (It’s the first con I’ve ever done in California…)

Hey all.
I’m Michael, the new editor here on Halolz. I know it’s been a while since it was announced that there would be a new editor, and well… this post. I blame Shawn. He’s old, and moves slow sometimes.
You may remember me from such Halolz as: Banana Phone, Define: pwned, Bug Report, and You have something on your back.
I also do some non Halolz things you should check out, (this is where I plug my things,) like my blog (One Gamer’s Opinion,) and the webcomic I write (Quest to Nowhere.)
Well anyway, I guess all I can say is that I’ll do the best I can.
-Michael

For no apparent reason… I decided to add Gravatars to the site today! Finally you can set an avatar that will appear next to your comments.
Not that you have to make one… you can always just keep the wacky default avatar I put in!
But yeah, I guess Gravatar has pretty much become the standard in WordPress avatars now… so if you setup a quick account with them and add an avatar, that avatar will carry over to other WordPress blogs that use avatars. So hey, why not, right?
And also, while you’re at it… it never hurts to register with the Halolz site itself. Besides storing all your user info for commenting, there are some other features I’ll be adding to the site soon that may require registration. May as well get all the busy work done now!
Edit: I forgot to mention, after setting up your avatar it takes like 15 minutes before your avatar actually starts to appear. I have no idea why!
