Looks like Telltale is right there as soon as you enter the exhibit hall.
EDIT: Not only is this a great location, but it looks like you're bigger than last year?

Not if they cherish their Photobucket accounts! :p

Well since I didn't use photobucket it is all okay. It is still up on flickr which is what I was using. Someone thought they should re-upload it to photobucket and it got blocked out. Either way though I don't think I will get a chance to go to PAX this year. You guys will have to get one of the other iPhoners in the office who are going to fill the void.

Ah, I see. I didn't actually visit your album, I just read the thread.
And I'll gladly take your place at PAX. :p Just need airfare, hotel fare, food fare, limo fare, and Liz Phair. :D

I'll one-up that offer. Just get me a hotel room and airfare and I'm good to go!
I'll even bring my own camera! :)

It's practically your convention.

....Hey, that's right! xD
Jake, I think Telltale should hold its own convention. With Blackjack. And hookers. And one that is closer to the east coast.
That'll show...that one former intern....

This just made me realize you are no longer with the TTT... ooh, are you spying on them now that you are working for a competitor?
Back on topic, wow, how did you get such a great location? Everyone will see your booth... hopefully drawing there attention to one of your lovely signs for SBCG4AP and S&M and W&G! Well... not only to the signs, but also to the rest of the stuff and staff at your booth.

@Rather Dashing: If by closer to the East coast, you mean Pennsylvania, then yeah. :D
PA never gets any gaming love... :( We have a rapping groundhog as our lottery mascot! How could you *not* want to hold a convention here?
(you think I'm joking about the groundhog, don't you?)

It's a shame that Mega64 won't be right next door this time around. TTG will have to throw its own periodic Con dance parties in sync with its video loop.

Mega64 always makes fun of me. Last time I spun their wheel of prizes, hit "public humiliation", and they said "no more prizes for the day!" and they took the wheel down, leaving everyone in line to give me angry glares. Then the next day, I hit caricature, and...let's just say it was less than flattering.

I'm pretty sure she's at Hothead now. So yeah, they should be getting some attention at PAX :)
Dierdre hasn't been at TTG since the end of Summer '07 when she was our intern. She went back to school and then, upon finishing, went to work at Hothead.

You didn't see their caricature.
Anyway, the panel schedule is supposed to come out in a week or so, too. By the way, who are you gonna bring up with you this year?

"Do you like dune buggies? I'm gonna draw you driving a dune buggy."
Seriously though, caricatures exist so that people can have their least flattering physical feature, the one that causes all of their insecurities, exaggerated in a humorous way so that others can finally safely laugh at them.
Dierdre hasn't been at TTG since the end of Summer '07 when she was our intern. She went back to school and then, upon finishing, went to work at Hothead.
Ungrateful interns! *shakes fist* You didn't let her take any pictures of the nuclear reactor, did you?

You crazy kids are so hard to keep track of these days. I am glad to hear you got picked up at (what seems to be) a good place. Hopefully the superpowers TTG imbued you with are helping in your work at Hothead. Also, I am glad to see you still are lurking around these forums :)

really, well bands playing at expo's are very different to those with specific gigs, the same with drinking, its best kept in a pub or venue with low lighting.

If I make it to PAX, I will take on this task!

Panel Schedule (http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/PAX_2008_Schedule.pdf)
I don't know which are Telltale's, but I do spy a "Make a Scene, The Strong Bad Edition!"...
PAX update: I saw a big chunk of our booth today, and it's gonna rule.

A chunk of the booth...I didn't think they made them this early on. Either this is very cool, or I'm just ignorant. :D
So what's the full panel list?
Emily
08/14/2008, 05:01 pm
The Strong Bad panel is the main one. We also have Chuck on a Writing in Games panel and Daniel H-Bomb Herrera on an Art and Visual Design panel.

The booth has to be built, then unbuilt again, then packed, shipped, and rebuilt :)

Jake, Nick, Emily, and I are driving into the city in an hour or two to do our first full test build of our booth. It's going to be awesome, with limited heavy lifting :)

Are we still allowed to ask you about Sam & Max?

You're always allowed to ask!
There's actually a rule in San Francisco. If I bring up work, I have to buy everyone a round of drinks. If someone else brings it up, then I'm absolved from buying the round.
Please note this offer is only applicable in the bay area, and epically not applicable at work-related events such as expos, conventions, and the like.

Jake posted some pictures of our booth here (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-368).
The crates are en route to Seattle now, so it's out of our hands... until we get there and have to put it together, of course. :D
Three more days!

Wow, I didn't fully realize how... human you guys are. I mean, I was impressed and pleased that you had a great connection with your fanbase, and could joke and cajole and carouse with the rest of us. But seeing these pictures of you guys setting up the booth, in your casual clothes and awesome haircuts (Emily and Rachel)... I have deeper awe and respect for Telltale's employees now!

Aww, don't feel bad. I like your beard! Beards are always marvelous. The short-hair-on-a-female just jumps out at me first as being the one of the most awesome things ever.

I just read that Ron Gilbert and Hothead will be showing the first three teasers of DEATHSPANK!
Can't wait to see that.

So they're on the Telltale booth area, and the Ubisoft booth has the two people arguing. That means that Microsoft is on the left, and Valve on the right. (Also, I think the red-orange banner might be coming from EA's booth)

Our crates arrived at around 5:00, in spite of the shipping company claiming the driver arrived at 8:00 this morning and wasn't allowed in. It was a huge hassle and I don't know who to believe, but it turned tonight into a late night for us. (And as you can tell from the last picture on Flickr, we're far from done...)
Also I don't know what the four of us were looking at, but I don't think those guys were arguing.
about the crates....isn't that what usually happens at such events? from my experience it is. also, usually having a booth is by far not as bad as organising the whole event.
anyway, it will probably be a pretty sweet booth..i wish i could be there. next year i will take two weeks off to go to pax.

Eh, I wasn't really surprised that it happened, but it doesn't change the fact that it was frustrating. :o (Also it doesn't change the fact that we wasted five hours when we could have been building, sitting around waiting for it to show up!)
Our two crates of merchandise and equipment, which arrived separately, was waiting for us when we got there.

The panel was fun. Other than forgetting the USB cord at for the camera and having to run to the hotel and back before the panel started (what is it with us and cameras?), it went pretty well. :)

Well, considering your last camera issue was *also* USB cord-related...
July 26, 2008
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.
..."What it is" with you and cameras, at least this year, is that you don't bring USB cords. Or, at least...
I brought a USB cable with me but by the time anyone thought to use it , Emily'd already gone home and taken the laptop.
...don't realize that you've brought USB cords until you've already flown the lappy back home. ;)
It's okay, though. We still love you. And we know you'll have this problem fixed next year. Because by then you'll move on to not bringing memory cards, laptops, or battery recharging cables. :)
