I always want to go to these things but I'm always too busy.
Alex and i do plan on Comiccon and Vidcon next year, we'll see how that plays out.

The Castle Crashers stuff was amazing, they custom built a huge arcade machine that has space for 4 players to play VERY comfortably on a super widescreen display. I'll post some pics of it here in a bit. They also had little CC figures, but they wanted 20 each for them :[

I went to PAX this year, just got home yesterday.....man was it awesome! Got tons of Nintendo swag and the Halofest section was unbelievable. I played the Anniversary Edition Halo that comes out in November, and let me assure you, that game will blow your mind.

Lucky! Totally envious. And those figurines (http://www.merchlackey.com/thebehemoth/figurines.php) seem to be out of stock currently on the site, but would've been cool to not have to pay for shipping and such at the booth. Would be cool if they made a figurine for the pink knight, too!

Now I wanna go home and play.
I don't think I would've been able to pass up the figurine, but I guess it depends on how small it was and how it looked. Pics?

I've actually been playing a bit again lately. Castle Crashers has to be one of my all time Favorites. I saw pics of that Arcade machine before and it is the coolest thing ever, almost makes me want to build a traditional 4 player cab dedicated to it. ;)
btw if anyone wants to play coop Crashers, hit me on Live. GT = Wyrmm

Sweet, @scott, I might hit you up on that soon. My gt is the same as my name on the forum.

Thanks so much for the photos! I really, really want to go. If anyone does a road trip next year that passes through my part of California, let me know!

As far as the Pink Castle Crasher, PAX East for the win (it seems):
I think my favorite part about it is that Dan drew me a little Alien Hominid when I told him how much of my college life was spent playing 4-player PDA Games while drinking, and how violent we were with it. My husband got the Green Crasher and just had the guys draw the Hominid instead of the Crasher, and they went all out with it.

Awesome, @amauriel! I'm totally envious. If you get a chance, can you take a picture of your husband's Green knight? Those drawings are great - I'd love to see more.
I am also! I've always wanted a set of the Castle Crashers knights on my desk. :(

I'm being cheap and waiting for CC to go on sale on XBLA... in the meantime, I think I'll purchase Catan (50% off!)... thought of you guys when I found this on the dev blog:

If I could find a way for a 360 or PS3 to boot straight into the game I'd be building one of my own in a heartbeat. Having to open the application from the dashboard is so lame and un-pro.
Actually, you can boot to disc on the 360 and bypass the dashboard. I think it's in the settings... http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/19/xbox-360-mandatory-update-restores-boot-to-disc-detains-call-of/
Ah.. but you can't do it for CC because it's a download... blast!
