New Games at HQ

by Crazy Ivan

Going to work every morning is pretty easy when 'fun' is the whole point of your job.  Each day I show up at an office with a pinball machine, a basketball game, a video game, a ping pong table and more Myachis than you can shake a stick at (I know, I've tried to shake a stick at all of them and it always breaks).  Heck, as of a couple of days ago, I can even get my sugar rush on while I'm working.

But yesterday HQ just got cooler by a full order of magnitude.  And it's not just because we got another ping pong table (though we did).  We also added a few more groovy toys to the mix and I can't wait to get a full day here so that I can play with them.

What kinds of toys?  Well, since you can already see the pictures on this article, there's no real way to build suspense, so let me get right to it.

Many of you have played Myachi golf with us before, so the idea behind these suckers is pretty obvious.  They're made to play "corn hole", but they're excellent for Myachi golf as well:

Can't really tell from the picture, but this sucker has little lights in it as well for night golfing...

There are two of them so you can actually play across a room from your opponent and it adds a ton of new variations to the old game.  Also, with some Myachis you get mad ammounts of slide off the surface so you can add whole new elements to one of the most beloved Myachi games of all time.

But as cool as that is, I think it's trumped by the other new decorum at HQ:

And yes, that's exactly what you think it is...

The new Myachi wheel of skills here allows us to take the freestyle game to a whole new level.  We'll be debuting it at the competition tomorrow at Funky Monkey (be there or be envious when you read about it on the blog).  It spins just like a wheel from a game show and the individual tricks can be changed out for beginners or more advanced players.  We were pulling combos off of it the other day and had a blast, though we didn't have anywhere near enough time with it before we had to head out.

I'll be posting a new "Tour of HQ" video in the next couple of days since it's undergone so many changes in the last few weeks, but rest assured that if you come in, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much there is to do.
