Comic-Con in 7 days and Castle Crashers Posters!

by

If you were born on the planet Earth then you’ve probably hung a poster up on a wall at one point during your existence. Because of this universal link we all share, which involves hanging a piece of paper on the wall, we’re bringing posters to Comic-Con!

In case you’ve never seen a poster being made, we took the liberty of documenting the entire process for you (sort of). Thanks to Dan’s permission we were allowed to take our cameras into the lower levels of Behemoth HQ and show you this exclusive process.

 

Step 1 – Activate PrintoMatic 2456

After initiating the firing sequence we have to clear the building for 12 hours while the gas clears the room.

 

Step 2 – Load PrintoMatic 2456 with a substance known only as, “paper”

It takes a total of 3 employees to successfully start the machine. Two to turn the keys on opposite sides of the room, and one to open the roof hatch, which allows the antennae to raise from our building.

Step 3 – Posters are made

After a short 32 hour process the posters are lowered into a pudding like substance where they will rest for 3 days before they are ready to be hung on a wall. This step is very important because it ensures that the poster is capable of sustaining a "wall hang" for weeks at a time.

 

Our four knights have never looked so good, even while being completely deconstructed and flattened onto a sheet of paper . So if you’re in San Diego next week we encourage you to stop by booth #4219 so you can claim your poster, play some BattleBlock Theater, and probably see Kevin Bacon somewhere.

We were confused towards the end of the process and thought we were in Japan, but when we finally realized we actually live in the United States it was too late so we just left it alone. Hopefully no one notices.

(Special thanks to Rush Press in San Diego for letting us tour the facilities)

 

BattleBlock Theater’s exploding discs

by

Another week with another prisoner update!  This week we’re looking at you, number 10316!  This prisoner enjoys using the handy dandy exploding discs and was arrested for staring at things after that time limit where it’s still okay to stare.  Nobody’s really sure how many seconds that is to the exact amount before it’s not okay… but we all still seem to “know”.

The very first weapon that was designed for BBT was the exploding disc!  We designed it to satisfy the combat needs while not being toooo deadly.   Sure it explodes, but only after a few seconds of impact with a wall or someone’s face.

While the disc is sitting there 1 or 2 seconds to destroy everything around it,  it can still be kicked/punched into the air before detonation!   This can either serve the attacker or the defender’s side depending on where it’s landed.

The disc is your default weapon in prison.  I don’t think the prisoners are making these on their own, as they seem to be made out of a good amount of parts.  Must have something to do with the theater armory being a little looser than usual..

The disc has other interesting less obvious uses like hitting touch-sensitive blocks or clobbering an airborne prisoner (forcing them to fall to their not-as-desired destination!)

See you next week,
