Hey hi, y'all!

Remember when I posted that blog with the Puyo Puyo artwork of the Giant Bomb crew? What a wonderful time that was. We laughed, we cried, we thought about ham. Then a bunch of you were like "HEY MAKE A WALLPAPER" and I was like "Okay".

Well, I still haven't made it. I'm sorry. I suck. What I really wanted to do, though, was something for PAX East. A lot of you said shirts, which would have required months of foresight and I'm just not that organised. Bummer. Some of you recommended trading cards and... well, that was actually doable, so I did it!! A massive, MASSIVE thanks goes out to @pepsiman for helping me out again. Did I tell you guys how rad he is? <3

So, how do you get these?

~~EDIT~~

Long story short, the card printer/supplier fucked up. I'll be getting them late and, as a result, will not have them at PAX East. I'm endlessly disappointed, angry, sad, and a variety of other emotions all at once over this. I'm sorry to have gotten everyone here excited for something that will, ultimately, not happen.

However,I will still be getting the cards and I still plan on offering them to y'all. The current plan is to package them and sell them online. How exactly I will do this, I am not sure yet. I have something around 145~ sets to sell and my initial plan was to do this through Storenvy but that requires a tax hassle that I'm not sure I can jump into at the moment. It's possible I'll just have to do everything through email/PayPal. Details on that will come when I figure it out and I'll be sure to update everyone about it here and on Twitter.

tl;dr - cards are being shipped late, won't have em' at pax, will sell them online after, stay tuned for more, i'm sorry

oh hey my BESbswyBESb buddy is back

I suggest everyone get a pack of these right at the start of the show so you can collect signatures~ Juss sayin...

This shit is gorgeous, m'man. My crush on you continues to flourish.

Holy fucking shit. These would be reallyfuckingcool to get. Lucky son of a guns!

I'll be on the show floor showing off mine and my partner's game, so I might not get a chance to meet you elsewhere. If you want to swing by booth #9165, I'm happy to buy a set.

If I find you, I'll gladly buy a pack or two. GLHB

Hmm, is there a reason to ever actually "trade" these trading cards?

I like trading cards and I hope to at least say hi to you anyway.

Damn, wish I was able to go to PAX East, would love to have a set of these to frame or something.

I'm sad that Rorie isn't always included as part of the crew in this kinda stuff

These look super great, and I'm super bummed that PAX East is on the other side of the planet.

@fobwashed: PREP FOR THE PANEL.

@buzz_clik: You are too kind. (｡・//ε//・｡)

@theht: --Jeff radio voice-- EXCLUSIIIIIIIVE

@wolfenhex: PM me and we can probably set something up~

@MikeFerrari7: Looking forward to it!

@cooljammer00: There is and I'll never say why!! Hint hint it's because after working in F2P games if I hear the word "collectible card" I am going to slit all my wrists.

@daveyo520: If we don't say hi to each other I'm gonna throw the biggest shit-fit.

@enk1du: Sadly I don't think I'll reprint these but who knows! Maybe something new will come along later that I can distribute more openly. :>

@mechakirby: I 100% agree with you. Sadly, I just had no time to make him or the others I wanted. Plus, this was coming hot off the heels of that super-time-consuming Rorie poster I made earlier last month. I'd like to add him and other GB/GS people later, still.

@el_funko: Thanks, Obama.

@aurahack: It'll happen. Also it is a law that I have to see Nate at PAX at least once a year so being around him will do it.

These are so great/adorable im lit'rally eating them. ONE. BIG. CHOMP.

The drew one is too much greatness.

@ripelivejam said:

Bearded alpaca Drew is the greatest thing ever. Though man, Brad with peegs is also pretty good. Is it a reference to this gif? I can't think of any other times where Brad would be a robot.

Also, this gif never gets old.

I'm nowhere near PAX East and won't ever have a chance to go but I had to say these are damn cool.

I'm gonna be so upset when you're already out of them by the time I get there.

@mooseymcman: Y'know, a positive outlook on things wouldn't kill you every now and then. :P

@gbrading: Thanks!!

@bisonhero: It isn't a reference to that but I like that you think it is, haha. He's honestly just a robot because a) he likes sci-fi things and b) I needed some variety in the cast.

@ripelivejam: Alpaca pilot Drew is best Drew

@dudeglove: SPACEEEEEEEEEEE

@aurahack: :P I mean, your art is fantastic, and this is really cool that you're doing it. Doesn't change my stance on the matter!

I'll be there. I'll be square. I'll be gettin' some darn cards!

@aurahack: I'm sorry.

@dudeglove: You can thank @onimonkii for that, haha. I had originally put the Rock Band 'drums' logo but he suggested that and I thought it was way funnier.

@earlessshrimp: Yeah, you will!

@aurahack: dude my last blog just besbwy'd too! Error twins!

@aurahack: I look forward to it. I will be waiting.

I want a set, I'll pay you American currency!

Fuck yeah, I'll buy a set!

Yay, awesome!

Aww, yet another Cool Thing I can't get!

Ya'll should just use Euros and play nice with the rest of that area. -____-;;

Fuuu wish I was going to PAX. If it wasn't for babies I'd totally take the train ride up just for a pack of those cards.

Sad I won't be there to grab some, but hell yeah to the Suiyobi no Campanella shirt.

This is some amazing work and I wish you the best of luck. Unfortunately I can never go to PAX due to work obligations.

As a Pax Prime regular, I feel confident in saying all the cool shit happens at Pax East

That aside, these look fucking rad

Damn, I wish I could make it out to PAX East, those cards are sweet.

Who would I be if I didn't patronize GB fan goodness in kind? Count me in for grabbing a pack. Luckily for you I got some leftover PAX goodies of my own to hand you in exchange.

TRADIN' CARDS!

@aurahack: Put me down for two packs (i'll have a plus 1) and i'll see you at PAX EAST!

Aw man I won't be there till Sunday. I would easily pay $20 for these.

I want a pack of these so badly.

A set of those in the GB Store as small posters would make me throw money at the internet.

Now I'm extra sad I won't be there (although the sadness is counteracted somewhat by all the cute drawings). I know you probably won't reproduce these again but if you ever did I would definitely love to purchase some. No worries though, and enjoy PAX y'all!

I love it but sad to say i came from fvcking far far land

Shouts out to aurahack! x

Nice work, @aurahack! Shame I can't be there at PAX to grab these in a more physical, tangible form.

So any update on whether or not @aurahack will be making it to PAX East/and if they will have dem sweet cards for sale? I heard some rumblings on Twitter, but I wasn't sure where to ask.

@cooljammer00: I am going to PAX East but the likelyhood of me having the cards in time are diminishing by the hour. My supplier (heh) fucked up and they haven't even shipped to me yet. I'll keep people posted but for now it seems I might not have them in time. If that's the case, I'll set up a way to purchase them online. That way everyone can buy a pack. So sorry. :(

No need to apologize. Hell, online sales is probably more convenient for everyone who can't make it to PAX East and purchase them from you IRL.

Oh look, more rain and snow on the Wednesday before PAX East. Joy.

;( ;( ;( that things aren't Going Well For You.

But kinda :) :) :) that you're going to try and sell them online!

Wow, just wow. Amazing work!
