A tale of two developers

By Alec Meer on September 8th, 2007.

I’m in Canada, looking at pixels flashing excitedly on screens. More on those another time – more importantly, here’s what the developers in question decorate their work-space.

The lobby of Gas Powered Games: a big, gleaming sword and a custom-made remote control car that can reverse at 50mph or something. Also, four different types of nut on tap.

The lobby of Relic entertainment: a giant statue of a Space Marine commander. And a full-scale tank poking through the wall. A tank. Also, a PS3 running Mortal Kombat II (which, in retrospect, really is a terrible game).

That is all. (And pictures to be added once I get back to Blighty and find a memory card reader).
