Gearbox, like many other companies, has the occasional company party - ours, in fact, are quarterly.  These parties give us a chance to interact outside the workplace in some great environments (we've had dinner parties, parties at Dave & Buster's, picnics at local parks, and more), and they give us a chance to catch up with the fast pace of Gearbox.  There are speeches, good food, and great company, all of which help us grow closer together as our company continues to expand and work on new and exciting projects.

For our summer party this year, we did something that we hadn't done before that I thought was really cool.  We rented out a theater at the local Studio Movie Grill, an establishment that shows movies served with a meal.  The best thing about this company party was that each dev project showed the whole company a little glimpse of what they were working on!  Seeing the work of our fellow employees up there on the big screen was an awesome experience, and it was very exciting to see all the progress we are making as a company.  After that, we had a short break and then the whole company watched the new Transformers movie - what better way to end a company party than by watching huge robots smash things?

It's great to be involved in events like this!  Gearbox is growing very rapidly and getting to work on some fantastic games.  I got to see some pretty unbelievable stuff at the party (some of which I'm afraid I can't talk about... yet!), and I am eagerly anticipating getting to share more with you.  For now, you'll just have to take my very educated opinion that you're going to be very impressed and surprised by Gearbox at least a few times this year ;p

As usual, many photos were taken, and I thought I'd share a couple from our company party with you!  Click the image below to view the album!
