PAX PRIME ’11 Preparation & Updates!

by

The Behemoth team will be headed up to Seattle for our 6th appearance at PAX Prime rockin’ Booth #3003, and our BIGGEST booth to date. We’ll be showing the latest build of BattleBlock Theater and a surprise iOS game demo!

Look out for these PAX Exclusives!

Chonku-Chonku Machine

You like surprises, right? We brought an authentic Japanese toy vending machine to PAX, filled with collectible mini Castle Crashers Knight figurines!

Why do we call it that? It’s our onomatopoeia. To us, that’s the sound it makes when the toy dispenses. You can make up your own!

To complete your wacky experience, follow these steps:

1) Obtain 500 yen from our booth (the toy costs $6 U.S.)
2) Feed the Chonku-Chonku machine by inserting money
3) Turn the knob
4) Squeal in joy as a capsule with your new mini Knight drops in your hand!

Notes:
There are six mini figurines in this set.
It is a “blind-box” purchase, you may not get the color you want! But you can trade with other people, just like in BattleBlock Theater!

If you don’t want to use the machine, you can head up to our merch table and purchase one! (Blind-box rule still applies)

These Knights will fight for their dignity, their freedom and your love!

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.
