See You at PAX West 2023, Invaders!

by

PAX West is back! Wait, PAX West was already back? Wait, WE’RE BACK. As in, The Big Chicken™️ is bawk back (at PAX West)! Yes, you read that train of maybe confusing thoughts correctly – we’ll be at PAX West this year, September 1-4, at Booth #2317.

We have some exciting stuff planned, including the reveal of our first-ever, 2-player Alien Hominid Invasion arcade cabinet *gasp*! Competitions will run every dang day of the show, with different prize packs available to win. You better get your game face on!

Speaking of prizes.. we’ll have some raffles running throughout the weekend with new and exclusive merch, so be sure to stop by and check out the booth if you’re interested in free Behemoth swag! OH, and speaking of merch.. we’ll be bringing a myriad of items, including the return of PAX exclusive t-shirts and pins. PINS!!!!

There’s a lot of excitement to look forward to, huh? Oh PAX West, how we’ve missed you.

More announcements regarding merch and contests will pop up here leading up to the big weekend, but for now, we’ll leave you with this sneak peek of how our planning is coming along…

That’s all for now, chickens. The journey to PAX West will continue in another blog post, on a day in the future that isn’t tomorrow (or probably the next day). We can’t wait to see your smiling, invading faces at another trade show! Until next time.

PAX East 2023 Recap

by

Our first trade show back in person has come and gone, and while I’m sad the magic of it all happened so quickly, I’m excited to relive it all again in a quick blog post (with many pictures included so we’ll never forget it)!

Since it was Sarah and I’s first time hitting the show floor as Behemoth staff, getting a chance to meet fans for the first time and network with industry veterans was delightful. Just getting to walk around, soak in the sights of endless colorful booths, pose with the cosplayers (Cloud and Tifa, you made my entire weekend), and see all the gamers GAMING – it was all great. Thank you to everyone who was a part of it.

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for, I hope, the highlights:

First, the booth

Our beautiful Behemoth of a booth featured PC and Nintendo Switch stations where PAX goers got their hands on the latest demo of Alien Hominid Invasion! Of course, cute little Digestors judging attendee gameplay were also present.

Our #1 Twitter follower wins a contest

One of the coolest fans we’ve met yet came by and stunned us with a crazy AHI performance in our high score INSANE mode competition! Thanks for coming by to see us, and we hope you enjoy all that new alien swag.

A… lamb? I thought this was a chicken company

While we do honor the big chicken more than normal people honor chickens on a daily basis (unless you’re Sarah), I have to give a shout out to the second cutest mascot there is around, The Lamb. Peep that cute chicken follower, too!

Pins, pins, and more pins!

We saw a crazy Behemoth pin collection on Day 4 that I just can’t shut up about. So here is the collection, in all its glory, with many pins from our old gachapon machines!

We will be back with our typical Behemoth-sized booth at future tradeshows (gasp!), maybe even with PINS (!?), so no worries if you don’t have a comparable collection. Maybe someday you will, but it probably won’t be as cool as this one. Unlesssssss it does become as cool as this one.. If that’s the case, print out this blog post and shove it in our faces later.

Showstopping cosplays

The loveliest cosplayers visited our booth to join the Invasion! Here are a couple snaps Sarah shot, with a bonus picture of a familiar face below..

AAAAND A CHICKEN

Sarah chased down this lovely chicken from across the expo hall. Naturally, we had to snap a few photos to honor their hard work and dedication! Baaawk!

And that’s a wrap on our PAX East 2023 recap. We’re hoping to hit more shows in the future, so who knows where the aliens will be beaming down next… Wherever it may be, we hope to see you there!
