The Behemoth at the San Diego Asian Film Festival

by

This week BattleBlock Theater will be taking the show on the road to the San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF). Yes, we’ll be taking the theater to another theater! Just a couple neighborhoods over from us, the film festival’s main site is at the Mission Valley UltraStar Cinema in the Hazard Center. You may see our arcade cabinet cruising down one of San Diego’s freeways as it makes its way over to the theater—let’s hope you don’t see the cabinet ON the freeway!

Yes, San Diegans, and anyone else making a trip to San Diego from November 2, 2012 – November 4, 2012, can join us in the theater lobby to play some BattleBlock Theater, check out some of the goodies we’re selling or just stop by to say hello! It’s free to get into the lobby to check out vendors, but movie tickets are required to get into the actual theaters. In addition to the BattleBlock Theater arcade cabinet, we’ll be bringing our Chonku Chonku machine (trade show only), a limited selection of our usual rad merchandise and maybe a special treat or two.

Our Booth Schedule:

Friday, November 2nd: 4PM-10PM
Saturday, November 3rd: 11AM-10PM
Sunday, November 4th: Noon-11PM

Side note: They’ve got some pretty awesome flicks this year! You could watch a movie based on a DS Game called Ace Attorney (YEAH! Scream out “objection!” all you want), sit through a psychological thriller/horror entitled I Am a Ghost, skate over to the theater for Sons of Animal Style, or check out any number of SDAFF’s 150+ films. So, no excuses! We’ll see you at the festival!

 

PAX Prime 2012 – Day 2

by

Rule #1 of survival at PAX should be to stay hydrated and energized throughout the show. If you aren’t able to go out of the convention for sustenance, then do your best to eat what you can. We learned this the hard way when two fans came up to the Behemoth booth and tore Dan Paladin’s hands off and started gnawing on them ferociously.

Here’s some of the crazy things that went down the past couple days:

  

      

      

P.S.
Dan’s beautiful artistic hands are fine. Thanks for your concern.

PAX Prime 2012 – Final Set Up & Day 1

by

It often feels like we won’t get everything done in the two days before PAX starts, but somehow we manage with the man power of our small crew and we power through til the end! Here’s another time lapse video showing our final day of set up and a video montage of our set up before opening up on Friday for PAX 2012. (We went all out this show for you guys back at home!)

When doors opened up for the PAX Seattle crowd, we were ready! Didn’t know who would be coming to our booth, but we were hoping for another chance to chat with fans as it is our last trade show for 2012. It was an exciting first day with people lining up for the BattleBlock Theater and Castle Crashers arcade cabinets, we had knights crashing our booth and autograph signings by Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp from 1-3PM. Oh, and we also got to shock people by showing them the Castle Crashers Steam edition running off of tablets!
