by

Xsplit Road Show – Chris & Ian talk Pit People (Click to see more photos from PAX East 2017 Day 3)

 
We kicked off the last day of PAX East 2017 with a stage demo of Pit People on the Xsplit Road Show. Chris Slight, from Xsplit, was a fan of Pit People and invited us to show it off during their live stream from PAX East. If you missed the live stream, you can still see the 30 minute segment for a limited time in this archived broadcast.

Hardcore Pinny Arcade Trading

 
Back at the Behemoth booth, people were trading for the Pinny Arcade pins that they wanted. Since it was the last day, you can imagine how motivated attendees were to get their collection complete!

In the afternoon, we had our last PAX East 2017 Pit People Tournament of Attendees. The event was emceed by Mason from our QA subdivision, The Research Centaur.

Here’s the final match in progress

The last match between UnaturalX and Ryan was intense. Who would take the final 1st place trophy of PAX East 2017?

Thanks again to everyone who came out to participate in or watch our first ever Pit People Tournament of Attendees! We hope you had as much fun as we did. Let’s cross our fingers for another Tournament later this year!

Also, many thanks to all the attendees who came to support our games by purchasing an item at our Gift Shop and thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi! We’ll see you all again at PAX East next year (if not sooner)!

 What a fantastic start to another PAX East! We started bright and early on Friday morning with our annual Press Breakfast that we host at our booth.

Our friend, Violet, and our co-founder, John, running the check-in table

 Press came by during the Press Hour to get coffee, pastries, and the latest info on our games! Then the expo hall opened to everyone at 10AM and everything was in full swing.


Our Gift Shop opened up with lots of merch, including a variety of new Pit People merch.


Our arcade cabinets were booted up and ready for free play. These are all custom built in our warehouse and have been traveling with us to all the cons!


The Chonku Chonku machines returned as well, carrying PAX Pinny Arcade pins and Castle Crashers mini-figurines! This year, the pins are $10 BOGO (that’s buy-one-get-one free)! Get them while they last because we only make a limited amount of each pin series.

Pit People Tournament of Attendees – Day 1

 Today was also the day we held our first tournament for our first-ever Pit People Tournament of Attendees! It’s a daily tournament with sign ups every morning of PAX East and the matches start at 2PM each day of PAX.

The intense battles of 16 tournament contestants spanned for hours, but only one participant remained victorious in the Pit!

Congrats to Oskar “Big O” Augustowski on getting first place! Woooooo!

 
Check out those sweet 1st & 2nd place engraved trophies! 2nd place went to Charles “In Charge” Harlow!

 Finally, if you missed the live stream earlier today, we’ve got the link to the Pit People segment on Xbox Daily Show.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Xbox Daily Show. You can see Ian playing Pit People on the side!

 Our co-founder, John Baez, spoke with Chris Charla and Andy Lunique of Xbox. There was talk of PAX, of Behemoth’s work philosophies, Pit People, and even waffle irons. See the Pit People segment here.
