Surely you've missed Uncle Yo, the anime reviewer who contributed a lot of great reviews to Ani-Gamers early in our blogging career. He's been off working on his "otaku comedy" stand-up routine for over a year now, which is why you haven't heard much from him on the site, but now he's got a new album, featuring live recordings of some of his best routines. Check it out and support Uncle Yo!

I'd like to introduce everybody to our newest member of the team here at Ani-Gamers. Dorian "Ra1don" Bogdanovski is an Xbox 360 and PC gamer with a particular interest in indie games, so he will provide his perspective on the gaming market through occasional video game reviews. He's also a casual anime fan, but we're confident that our collective obsession with the medium will turn him fully to the dark side soon enough.
My other big announcement is that Karl "Uncle Yo" Custer, formerly a contributing anime reviewer here at Ani-Gamers, will now be our Anime Reviews Editor. In this position, he will continue writing his fantastic (and funny) anime reviews while performing some editing functions for reviews written by other Ani-Gamers staffers. Congratulations, Karl!
EDIT: Okay, so I spelled his alias wrong. Blame l33t.

Ani-Gamers will once again be invading the East Coast convention scene, this time at the New York Comic Con this weekend, from Friday, February 6th to Sunday the 8th. As usual, Uncle Yo will be there to provide his popular comedy routine, and I will be there as press, killing myself with far too many events to report on.
If you're going to be at the convention, and you happen to see us, you'd better come over and say hi. I'll be meeting up with the folks from some other blogs like Anime Almanac, Anime Vice, Japanator, Manga.About.com, MangaBlog, and Reverse Thieves, so you'll probably see me next to them in the front row of every anime industry panel. Uncle Yo can be found... at his panel of course! It's on Saturday from 12:30PM to 1:00PM, so get over there to see his performance. (For those interested in finding us, I look like this, and Uncle Yo looks like this)
As for the content that I'll be getting out of NYCC, let's just describe it as NYAF08 on steroids. I've got over a dozen events I'll be going to that are directly related to the blog (half of which are industry news panels), so as long as I'm still alive by the end of the weekend, expect about a month's work of ongoing features thanks to Comic Con. For those attending, see you there! For those not attending, make sure to follow my Twitter for the occasional live updates, and use the NYCC09 tag for all con coverage.

I'd like to take some time to welcome yet another new staff member here on Ani-Gamers. Karl Custer, known to convention-goers on the east coast as the otaku stand-up comedian Uncle Yo, has joined the ever-growing Ani-Gamers horde as an anime reviewer. His first two reviews are of the two anime Bastard! and Spice and Wolf (season one). Look forward to them in the coming few days.
