| #1 Posted 1 month ago | Reply | Oh wow... its been awhile since I got to make a news post (And for good reason, the last time I did, it made people start bleeding from their eyes... I admit NOTHING!) and boy did I miss this...
Today I have a number of things to go over so sit right back and grab a chair as I ramble on and on. Kay?
Two weeks ago I ended up being kidnapped from my home in Jersey by two complete idiots and dragged to a place known as AnimeNext for the weekend along with a stockpile of shirts.
Lots of crazy shenanigans followed such as meeting various crazy cosplayers....
And then stumbling across a complete Season 1 showing of YGO:TAS that they just happened to be showing... Many thanks to the con staff who let me barge in and disrupt the natural order that night to throw out some announcements! Also welcome to any new Abridged Series fans that may of been introduced to the series through that showing and hope you stick around on the site!
While there I ran across a couple good friends of mine such as Dave Lister of Paradox Lost fame as well as Chris Malone from Blue and Blond. Always awesome to see them.
Also ran into the crew of the Mad Gear store who gladly let us sell our box of extra shirts at their booth.... and from now on, will be helping to carry Abridged Series shirts at cons that we can't make it to! Aren't they such nice guys?
After meeting up with some awesome of the fans after the Abridged showing and all going out to a bar (unlike the FAIL BAR we have on the site) three of us decided to go on a trip at 2 am to find the legendary White Castle that was in the area... but unfortunately it ended up not existing.... THE WHITE CASTLE IS A LIE! so a pair of Things and I headed to the nearest IHOP instead. Twas a very enlightening experience to say the least!
All in all the convention was a complete blast and I am glad I ended up going at last second.
Next year you can be SURE to see us at AnimeNext is a more "official" presence! :P
Just be sure you stay away from Thing 1 and Thing 2..... x.x
Pure EVIL I tell ya!
Speaking of cons in the future, this brings us to our next thing on the agenda!
UPCOMING CONS!
This upcoming weekend if you are in the LA area and going to Anime Expo, I would suggest you stop on by Booth #545 which is the Mad Gear booth since they will be carrying Abridged Series shirts for those of you who have been too scared to order them online!
Also the always incredible edible Dave Stanworth of Snafu Comics will also be attending in the Artist Alley so if you are there, go say hello to him, bring him food or something, and if you ordered a shirt and haven't recived it yet you can go there and bug the crap outta him!
Its ok, he's use to it by now!
In a few weeks, a bunch of the site staff (including possibly LK... possibly... hopfully...) will all be attending Comic Con San Diego together from July 23rd to the 27th! More news on that as well as who will be attending and possible Abridged users meetup will be posted soonish.
And then to finish off the summer hell run of conventions, Otakon will be happening at the Baltimore convention center August 8th through the 10th at which we will be sharing a booth with Snafu Comics, right across from these idiots. Do I hear whispers of some super special awesome secret convention exclusive merchandise? I THINK SO!
Also at Otakon there will be a showing of Season 1 of YGO:TAS for those of you who aren't tired of seeing it over and over again on the site and want to watch it in a room with likeminded indivduals! I am sure many scared congoers like myself will be terrified at the unison calls of "IN AMERICA!!" coming from the depths of the video room!
Finally on the list, I have saved the best for last...
Next week Shark Robot will be holding a MASSIVE preorder for a bunch of new gear... Including BRAND NEW ABRIDGED SERIES SHIRTS!!
Now I could be mean and just leave you with that tease but no...
Here is your first glimpses of all the new shirt designs coming out from our side!
The first two come to us from two different sources then all the rest of the shirts so far....
Anytime Is A Good Time To Destroy The World:
This shirt was done by a good friend of mine, CelesJessa who is an incredible artist! You should go check out her work sometime!
Catapult Turtle Gambit:
By our very own lovable, dishes doing Moderator, Underling-ling
Front:
Back:
These following two were both done by the always awesome resident YGO:TAS shirt artist Jojo
I'm Not A Freaky Fish Guy:
Front:
Back:
And then finally, BROOKLYN RAGE!!!:
Also there will be a new button set featuring those four designs AND a special button designed by Snafu Dave: "REAL Men Play Childrens Card Games!".
So look for that coming within the next week or so!
And now its late and teh Krozey is very tired so I must bid you all a fond farewell for now!
PEACE!
Super Sneaky Surprise Edit:
For those of you at Anime Expo right now the Snafu Comics booth is in the #1300 row next to VG Cats. Stop on by and give Dave a muffin, will ya?

Are some of these (and possibly more of the older ones) going to be available in girls' sizes?
I got a super special awesome shirt.....but the smallest size available is huge on me, lol XD |

| #21 Posted 1 month ago | Reply | The only shirt I might even think of buying ever is the catapult turtle shirt.
Also the the AnimeNext paragraphs is a very good reason for me NOT to come to cons with you guys if I could. Dare I come I'd have to bring five pairs of boxing gloves. |
