Even before the glowing reviews, plans were underway for a DJ Hero 2 block party at Activision HQ in Santa Monica — giveaways, competitions, live DJs, booze, burgers, the whole bit. Here’s a quick photo gallery of some of what went down at the office today.
Hey, look -- someone parked a double-decker bus in front of the office. I'm not sure why but there you have it.
Inside, employees assembled to qualify for the tournament -- top 4 scores make it to the finals. Yours truly did not rank.
In fact, both of these folks did better than me on Medium. It was an epic battle to watch, though.
The rain did not stop the party.
In their defense, the props were on loan.
The final round was close...
...but the victor took home a party bundle, as well as plenty of gratz.
Raffles aplenty meant a lot of people went home happy. That's Lip Ho, associate producer for Blur, taking home the hardware.
This hardware, they wouldn't let me take home. Check out the day-glo prototype PS3 controller. If I could buy this, I would.
Since you probably haven't seen him yet, that's Activision Publishing's new CEO, Eric Hirshberg -- a.k.a. the guy who created Kevin Butler.
Open bar? I dub this party a success.
Wait, free In-N-Out burgers too? This party is now upgraded to a raging success.
