Our crew flew over to Portland to bring in our custom built arcade cabinets to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo for the very first time. As you’ll be able to see in our photos, we decided to mix up the layout for this Expo.
Here we are setting up the designated Behemoth area. Not a conventional booth setting.
We put on new artwork on the most recently made arcade cabinets (3rd generation cabs) since their debut at PAX Prime 2013 just two months ago.
New vinyl stickers were added to our arcade cabinets for the show.
Finally, the Super Soviet Missile Mastar arcade cabinet was put to a proper fan experience with the Daily High Score contest held for both October 5th and 6th at PRGE. Congrats to the winners!

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!
Tonight at 7:30PM until 8:30PM in the Serpent Theater, the players of the Omegathon will be battling in BattleBlock Theater for ROUND 2. Make sure to check it out! We’ll be there and there may be a special appearance by someone from BBT …
Oh and check out this little anecdote that our PAX friends posted about having BattleBlock Theater in the Omegathon:
True story: At PAX East 2013, we were worried that the SECRET FINAL ROUND game of Spaceteam wouldn’t survive the torrent of invisible mega-beams shooting out of 6,000 nearby mobile devices to keep a stable game running. The awesome dudes over at the Behemoth heard our plight and offered BattleBlock Theater as a backup, but because we are stupid and dumb, we ended up not using BattleBlock and were overrun with the most intense infestation of Space Rats ever known to man. Fast forward to today, where we still love BattleBlock and figured it should be an Omegathon game ANYWAY because of how great it is. History lesson over. 16 contestants enter, and 12 will leave.
