PAX Prime Recap

September 16, 2013 by megan

It was one of our best times in Seattle exhibiting at PAX Prime 2013. We had a ton of events go down at our booth this year and many of them were BattleBlock Theater themed since our game released earlier in the year on Xbox LIVE arcade. Here is our recap video:

On the first day of PAX, we had an anniversary cake for our 10th Year as a company (The Behemoth). We also had our first appearance by Will Stamper, our voice actor for BattleBlock Theater, along with Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp. And the day ended with us attending the Omegathon Round 2, which featured BattleBlock Theater as the game to eliminate one pair from the weekend long tournament.

Our second day, Saturday, was focused on our BattleBlock Theater tournament. Over 15 pairs joined in and only 3 pairs fought their way until the finals to become 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place winners.

On the third day of PAX, we had a special rematch with our friends from The Creatures. UberHaxorNova and Immortal HD were challenged to a rematch after we, the developers of the game, lost to them at RTX 2013. We surprised them with having our very own Dan Paladin up on stage with Team Behemoth.

It was a great weekend and we have plenty of pictures to go along with this recap video. Check out our pictures by clicking HERE.

Also, if you missed PAX and missed our 10 year anniversary trailer, you can watch that on YouTube now:

Thanks to those who stopped by to visit us at PAX Prime 2013 and thank you to all the fans who continue to support us. Happy Monday!

PAX Prime Day 3 – Redemption!

September 2, 2013 by megan

Yesterday, we challenged Immortal HD and UberHaxorNova of The Creatures to a rematch after a horrible loss at RTX 2013. With luck and the help of our Art Director, Dan Paladin, we were able to redeem ourselves by winning the first to five wins. The final score ended up being The Behemoth 5 and The Creatures 1. (To be fair, we did play Ball Game and have much more experience with that arena mode than Immortal and Nova)

This now means as far as matches go, The Creatures have won 1 and lost 1, while The Behemoth has also won 1 and lost 1.

The Behemoth vs. The Creatures

1 – 1

We’re going to need to settle that score one day…until then check out our photos from Day 2 and Day 3 of PAX Prime 2013! And enjoy the rest of your PAX trip!!

(P.S. We’ve sold out of a lot of merchandise at our gift shop at Booth 3003, so please come sooner if there is anything you want!)
