Fire Up the Grill

In June, Cryptic's directors set a goal for the company. Play Champions Online for a total of 600 hours on nights and weekends. Everyone in the company was expected to create characters, run missions, form teams, document bugs and make suggestions on what we can do to make Champions Online a better game, one that's just plain fun to play.

If we could do it, the directors would give the company a barbeque to celebrate.

We busted through that goal with more than a week to spare, and ended up logging a total of 846 hours of play in June. As our reward, the directors put on a barbeque for the entire company this afternoon. Because it's more than 100 degrees in Los Gatos today, the directors hired a local restaurant to deliver tons of salad, garlic bread, veggie burgers, brisket, chicken and massive ribs that could have been used as props on an episode of The Flintstones.

Work at Cryptic, make and play great MMOs and get massive piles of food. What more can you ask for?
