Anyway, we're off to PAX! Today half of the group heads out to build our booth and get everything set up, and tomorrow the other half will show up to take place in Telltale's panel and enjoy the general revelry that is PAX. We'll be at booth 612 (right in front of the entrance to the exhibit hall... can't miss us!) Sam & Max and Strong Bad will be playable, we'll have merch for sale, and depending on the time of day and the amount of sleep we got the night before, we may even engage in intelligent conversation.
If you're in Seattle, come see us! And you'll definitely want to check out our panel, "Make a Scene with Telltale: The Strong Bad Edition," which is at 7:30 on Friday in the Raven Theater. Unfortunately the internet is thwarting my attempts to post the panel description here, and my flight is about to board, but trust me, it'll be awesome.
PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo, is coming up this weekend, and we'll be there. In a booth.
PAX has quickly become our favorite show of the year. From the engaged show attendees who actually know who we are and play our games, to our now annual "Make a Scene with Telltale" panel, to what is probably the most cordial and generally awesome expo security force in the world (Seriously, last year they came by and gave us water and soft drinks on a regular basis. This is amazing.), PAX is my friend. Anyone who loves any type of gaming should probably go. You won't regret it.
Anyway, the booth! We have one this year, and it is ridiculous. Last week a few of us got together in a warehouse to try and put the booth together once, as a test. Fortunately, it looks great. Unfortunately, the fully assembled booth won't be something we can show you until PAX starts on Friday -- in the grand tradition of all Telltale trade show coverage, our camera totally failed the moment we got the booth all the way built, and started taking photos of nothing but blackness.
We documented the actual assembly process, and some of the art, though, and thought you might want to see it. So, without further ado, here are a bunch of pictures of us putting together some sort of crazy wood and aluminum contraption that will be our PAX booth.
Well, it's Tuesday, and that means Emily, Scott, and David are off to San Diego to enjoy the beaches and sunlight in the traditional geek manner... by staying indoors for a comic convention!
But don't fear, homebound Telltalians! You can live the Comic-Con dream vicariously through Scott's cell phone, as he'll be keeping us updated on all sorts of things that amuse him via his Flickr account. Prepare to learn what amuses Scott, and quake with fear! Also, there's an RSS feed.
