how cool is *that*
« on: January 12, 2010, 04:05:33 PM »
Apple put a screen shot of our Supercross game in their users manual for the iPod, so every person that buys one (hundreds of thousands world wide) ..sees it. .. they did this without our knowledge and sales have been going up steadily since just before Christmas, when they put out the new users manual.

Is that cool or what? –grin-

Did I mention I work for a great company?

That's pretty cool, especially the free advertising for your studio and game.

Wow pretty neat that you have Roncada on staff there he was a very good rider when he was doing that. I saw him ride in Atlanta a few times.

My son has that for his iTouch and loves it. You guys have a great product there...can't wait to see if on the PC!!!

I asked our Creative Director Robb about SX on the PC ..

..he said 'two weeks' like he meant it.

Do you have *any* idea how hard it was not to laugh?

As it was I left the room giggling a bit
.. I dunno if he is aware of just how much 'two weeks' means to a lot of us here :)

And ya Steph is a good guy .. really knows the pipeline and what does what in Max, great go-to guy.

LMFAO!!!!!! That is very much me, but I have a radar detector so its more like this.

"Hey look I can go 70-80-90, Slow down cop ahead 90-80-70-55.( Drives for a 1/2 a mile before we see the cop, as we pass the cop EVERYONE waves at him while he is in his hiding spot.) Okay past him lets go 60-70-80-90-100....Slow down were wasting to much gas  :devil
