Tradeshows

6 hours left!

by

We just keep staring at the clock waiting for it to reach 12AM. Even though the game won’t be out until 1AM, or 2AM, or some other time. In the past week I’ve heard about 300 different time slots from just about everyone so I don’t even know anymore.

As exciting as the launch is for us we don’t have time to sit and relax as we are all on a plane on Wednesday to the Penny-Arcade Expo. It’s actually really great timing for us as we get to be around all of our fans for the first few days of the title being launched.

One of the many surprises we will have at PAX will be our exclusive limited edition Barbarian Figure! (below) Not only will we be selling it at the show, but by Friday we will also have them available on our Behemoth Store, YES!

Check out his awesome battle flag of justice (I’m starting to sound like Dan now) and deadly weaponry.

OK, that’s all for now, less than 6 hours to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hominid unlockable and things

by

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!  Here you can see the Alien Hominid unlockable character in Castle Crashers, (which automatically unlocks if you own Alien Hominid HD on your 360 when playing Castle Crashers).   I will try to be sure we have gameplay video of him next time.  

update: here’s an article i just read “six reasons you should be VERY excited for Castle Crashers”:  http://blog.explodingwumpus.com/?p=361&preview=true

To the alien’s right is an angry bee which saw his debut at Comic-Con this year at our booth.  He’s so angry.  You know, usually when someone is angry they are really just unhappy with an aspect of their life and the best way to handle them is ask them what is wrong or find a way to make them happy.  Instead of yelling back, you can help someone achieve peace and you will both feel better about everything.  Make a chain reaction TODAY!!  hahaha okay anyway:

There’s an image I made per Emil’s request.  He says that if I make that image, people will want to use it and show it places.  Is he right?  Do you enjoy such an image?  I hope he is right. 

Okay, and lastly, we have a video from Comic-Con I took that shows a little bit of everything at the booth.  You can see the giant 9 foot flags, the people, the game, and the barbarian figurine.

The game is only 1 month away!!!!  Can you believe it?  It’s finally here!!!  Whew.   We’ll see you guys at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) on the 29th, just TWO days after the game is launched!  Stop on by and let us know what you think.  We shall try to have exclusive T-shirts at PAX as well as our limited barbarian figurine for sale.

Peace,
