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!)

Day 1, 2 & 3 of PAX!

Friday

So we had our first day of PAX Prime yesterday and it was crazy busy. We would have posted more throughout the day but it was super packed at the booth at all times–and also the internet kept cutting out because of so many people using it at the con.

We started off with a 10 Year Anniversary celebration at PAX (there was cake and it was not a lie!) and it was also our press appreciation breakfast hoedown!

Then the doors opened up to the public at 10AM and the long lines of people started forming at the gift shop. Our Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater pins are going extremely fast! Make sure you get some before they run out this weekend!

From 2-4PM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we will be doing our autograph signings at our Booth (3003). Our first one was yesterday as you’ll see below.

Then from 7:30-8:30, we joined the Omegathon – Round 2, which featured BattleBlock Theater. Our special surprise was that our narrator for BattleBlock Theater LIVE NARRATED the event! He heckled players as those Omeganauts fought for their lives in King of the Hill.

Saturday

Today, we started off the day with our BattleBlock Theater Ball Game Tournament! From 11AM-1PM we had teams of two hit the highest score and best out of 3 advanced to the next stage. In the end, we had winning pairs for 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place.

We had another autograph signing today with Dan Paladin, Tom Fulp and Will Stamper. Saturday’s pictures to come!

Sunday

Don’t miss out on our events tomorrow at Booth 3003!

From 11AM to 11:30AM we are doing a REMATCH against UberHaxorNova and Immortal HD. We had our lead level designer and QA tester go up against these guys in Texas at RTX and we were shamefully defeated… Time to redeem ourselves! The members of our team will be announced tomorrow at the start.

And of course, tomorrow is the last day for the autograph signings with Dan, Tom and Will. You know you want their beautiful signatures and sketches on your Behemoth goodies! Come say herro!
