PAX: Live from the show floor
Posted by jake August 31, 2008
PAX is winding down (only four hours left!) and all is well. It seems like nearly everyone walking around the show is sporting a Strong Bad or Sam & Max pin, the Enforcers once again kept us stocked with water and amazingly helpful offers to help out, and we've all memorized every video playing at our booth (and the three adjoining booths). Nick played some Left4Dead, embarassed himself at Rock Band 2, and apparently won a t-shirt or something in a contest. We got a bunch of DeathSpank shirts from the Hothead guys. Daniel and Chuck spoke at panels about writing and art in games. Our booth was awesome!

We've been posting photos to flickr like crazy, so for a look around the show, be sure to check out Doug's, Nick's, Seg's, and my PAX photostreams.

Possibly best of all, though, our "Make a Scene With Telltale" panel went off without a hitch. We brought along a few PCs running copies of the Telltale Tool, filled a room with Strong Bad and Telltale fans, and through a carefully concocted mixture of meticulous planning and a lot of excited amused yelling, wrote, voiced, and produced a short SBCG4AP scene in under an hour. Lots of folks were there (we filled the room -- they were turning people away!), including IGN, GameVortex -- and probably some others which I can't load, thanks to the amazingly saturated free wifi -- but fortunately, through the new Telltale video site, you can check out the results of the panel yourself, and find out the real reason Strong Bad wasn't able to make it to PAX...



We'll all be trickling back into the real world over the next day or two, but in the meantime, huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth or went to the panel. If you didn't make it to PAX this year, hopefully we'll see you next time!

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.
