We're off to PAX!
Posted by Emily August 28, 2008
Man, the airport is empty at 5:00 in the morning.

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.

Behind the Booth: The making of... our booth.
Posted by jake August 25, 2008


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.

Right, so this year we totally remembered the camera. What we forgot was the USB cord that would allow us to get pictures off of it.

Until then, check out these links to see what we've been up to at Comic-Con!

It's the very least he could do
Posted by tabacco July 24, 2008
Today's update comes courtesy of Derwin, from our forums. He has created what may be the world's tiniest tribute to Sam & Max. An impressive achievement, no?

(Click to zoom in.)

Perhaps I should let him explain:

"I work in a microfabrication facility at my university, and I decided to make what I believe is the worlds smallest (as of now) tribute to Sam and Max. For a sense of scale, the average width of a human hair is supposedly 80 microns (thanks Wikipedia!)... while the Max head seen in the attached picture is 50 microns tall by 45 microns wide. The image was taken under the 50x setting on the microscope we have in the lab. I could have potentially made them smaller, but I felt that Max's nose was already pushing it at somewhere around 2-4 microns tall."
