Anyone going/there? I've been wanting to go for years, but the plans have never fully materialized (and it's in an iffy time of year - right before our school semester starts). They always seem to have some really excellent swag there, too...

Nope

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.

I'm definitely envious about the Dragon Quest giveaways going on at the Nintendo booth: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=152840328133762&set=a.151464631604665.38309.119240841493711&type=1&theater#!/media/set/?set=a.151464631604665.38309.119240841493711&type=1

I wish I had been able to go to PAX.... The Castle Crashers stuff alone would have been worth the trip.

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.

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 :[

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!

They had a smaller pink knight available via a Japanese capsule machine that they brought. You bought 300 Japanese Yen for 5 dollars, put the coins in, and got your knight. Those figures were really cool, but I can't start collecting anything else at this point, or I'll have a second residence filled with my collections like on hoarders.

That pink knight is the cutest: http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/get-castle-crashers-lovelove-pink-knight-for-free-8035
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?

Here's a few of the pics I got of the CC booth.

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

@brettybluevein, those pics are great - thanks! The cab looks amazing... probably the best way to really play that game. Classic stuff, like the Simpsons arcade game.
Sweet, @scott, I might hit you up on that soon. My gt is the same as my name on the forum.
