What did you do this weekend? I finished Harry Potter and got a bunch of my tattoo colored in. In a strange intertwining of experiences I was actually reading Harry Potter while getting tattooed. It's easier than you think. I'll post some pictures on my Wednesday blog when the tattoo looks a little less...you know...gross. What did you all do? Anybody have any awesome tattoos?

So Harmonix had a very small scale (in regards to distance not the overall process which was very large scale and special thanks go out to all the hardworking HMX employees who facilitated it) move over the weekend. Our windows are now a touch closer to the windows of another game developer, Demiurge (who we are tight with going way back), who awesomely greeted us with -

as we strode in this morning. Which made us feel quite welcome in the ensuing craziness.

As for blogs... well there aren't any other than what you are reading in this post due to moving-related awesomosity. Blogs should pick up quickly again tomorrow and continue well into to the foreseeable future. Thanks for bearing with us!

UPDATE- I just realized I used "awesome" or variants thereof WAY too many times in this post. I apologize. Awesome. CRAP!

What games has Demiurge worked on? and what kind of amazing tattoo does the hmxsean have?

Another Week Down And One Starting , Yet RockBand Seems So Far Away .

hah, seriously. my brother-in-law and I are on the verge of freezing ourselves until November.

But then we couldn't play Rocks The 80s in the meantime.

My weekend consisted of beating my high score on "Less Talk, More Rokk", and hitting the driving range. How exciting.

Sounds like a great weeked Sean. Good to hear everyone had a good weekend, and HMX's move went well.

I also finished Harry Potter this weekend. It was very intense I could not put it down, I read it all of Sunday, and I really enjoyed it, but I'm a little depressed that it is going to be the last book. I hope JK Rowling changes her mind and makes some more, maybe going into greater detail the lives of some of the characters, maybe what took place before and after these 7 books.

Anyways, no tatoos here, but I'll be looking forward to wednesday when we get to see how yours turned out!
Hopefully my Guitar Hero 80s shows up this week, along with my free Guitar Hero shirt, so I can rock out the rest of the summer, which will kill time until Rock Band comes out!

My weekend consisted of my brother kicking wholes in the ceiling,having a bonfire that we werent supposed to have,and going to a LaserQuest lockin(and coming in first place every game except once(because they messed up =[)) and coming out 5th out of 432 people at my LQ center =] That was a funny drawing. :P

Awesome (see what I did there?), thanks for the update Sean. So HMX got some nicer digs over the weekend? You welcome (assuming my continued flow of cash to you all helped a little).

I went float tripping this weekend, such a blast. I tried to wear a fake tattoo, but apparently river water wipes those things right off. But I drank plenty of beer...in a canoe. F-U-N-FUN.

I too finished Harry Potter and laughed my arse off when the word "B!TCH" appeared. Good stuff.

Edit: Awesome story.
