During the last day at PAX Prime back in August, I was asked to stop by at the Behemoth booth. So I went there while Derek was in the line for Uncharted 3. I got to the booth, was called into the back room and got some big news. Words cannot describe how I felt when I heard it. But maybe Japanese emoticons can. Sorry [...]

I woke up at 7:00 AM, a little sleepy but already super excited. So he could take photos of the plush, Derek made an awesome set-up by the window using only a pillow case, toilet paper and band aids. I’m very proud of him for pulling this off and I loved how the photos came out! Thank you, Derek! We had bought peanut butter and [...]

That’s right! I’m actually enjoying Google+. I don’t usually get excited about social networking services. I started Twitter because it’s simple and low-maintenance. So I was actually reluctant about using Google+ at first, but after my friend explained it, it actually sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. For those who aren’t familiar with Google+, it’s a new SNS and many people [...]

I was organizing my closet the other day, and found the bag I got at Strand and used/abused throughout my art student years at SVA. (School of Visual Arts) Strand is the biggest used book store in NYC, and also known for their super heavy duty canvas bags. It’s not a big bag but it is very strong. So I used to just stuff it [...]

Thumbnail image for A short game list from PAX East 2011

Okay this is the last post of PAX East 2011! Each of my posts about PAX East was a bit long, so this is a quick short list of which games I thought was interesting. I wish we could’ve played more demos, like Shoot Many Robots, Slam Bolt Scrappers, and SpyParty, but there’s always PAX Prime! The trailers are not necessary the latest ones. I [...]

It was the last day at PAX East 2011, and we only had a Tetris tournament and the final round of the Omegathon (and closing ceremony) to attend that day, so this day was “game day” for us. As soon as the BCEC opened, we headed to the Behemoth booth to play Castle Crashers (CC) and BattleBlock Theater (BBT) on their custom made arcade machines. [...]

The weather was definitely nicer on Day 2. We could clearly see the long line forming in front of the BCEC in the morning. Before we headed out, I took a photo of the free shwag from the day before. And here’s a photo with stuff I bought.

Day 1 It was very foggy out and raining a bit, but when we looked outside the window around 8AM, there was already a long line formed outside the the BCEC. Glad that our hotel was CONNECTED to the BCEC. We walked over to the BCEC, and along the loooong line for the keynote. Keynote: Jane McGonigal, 10:30am – 11:30am Jane McGonigal is a game [...]

Sorry for the lack of bento blogging! After I finished my freelance stuffed stuff project (which was non-stop sew-athon for weeks) I took a break to do, guess what, play video games! It’s been a while since I played anything myself. I’ll write about what I’ve been playing some other time. I have so little time to play video games between projects that I have [...]

How time flies. Sorry for neglecting my blog and for all the non food related posts recently. I had some stuffed stuff projects right before PAX, and also I’ve been working on some freelance stuff which took priority. I’m so excited about this project and spent a large amount of time trying to get it right. The project is still in the early stages. I [...]

While the Dream Bento Contest is going on at EpiCute and My Food Looks Funny, I just couldn’t sit and wait… So I decided to enter the T-shirt contest at the Behemoth (creators of Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater) site on my own! They’re my favorite game developers and I wanted to show some support. “The contest is simple: revamp a tee into something that [...]

I was still a little sick after I came back from PAX. I had a couple days of rest, and I finally started making “birthday gifts” for Dan Paladin. (the creator of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers) His birthday was on September 14th, and they posted that they’d gladly accept “fan art gifts” for his birthday on the Behemoth dev blog. I love making plush, [...]

My boyfriend has been coughing since we came back from Gen Con. No fever, no headache, just dry coughs. It went on for about a week or so. Just when he was getting better, I started to have the same dry cough. I’d wake up in the middle of night from coughing. It is absolutely annoying! I even lost my voice from coughing too much. [...]

After I made the Castle Crashers bento, the image was posted in the forum on Newgrounds.com. Newgrounds is a flash game/animation site which was created and is owned by Tom Fulp, who is also one of the creators of Castle Crashers. The members of Newgrounds saw the bento, and were greatly upset (in a good nerdy way) by the fact that I left out the [...]

He liked my bento, and told me that he was posting the picture of it on the Behomoth’s dev blog. (See here) I wrote in my reply to him that I wasn’t completely satisfied with the bento [...]

I worked on the sketch for this bento for about 2 weeks, but I just couldn’t draw it. I thought about not doing this and moving on, but I just hate giving up, and my boyfriend and I love this game so much. After failing to make it about twice, I made Totoro Parade bento to keep me motivated, and finally I made it. Bento [...]
