The Q.E.Y.S. Have Been Found!
Sorry for the delay, busy over the last 6 weeks. This is long overdue seeing that the winners of the Q.E.Y.S. contest from over a month ago solved the thing in about a week. A good friend of mine and his colleagues at Gaijin Games found all of the keys both in their own geek-like gaming memories as well as with some help from Google. Ironically the one that was holding them up was from a Tomb Raider game. Their tireless efforts have won them a Tomb Raider game of their choice. As you can see in their post about the contest on their very own site, they have found and requested quite an interesting Tomb Raider selection as a punishment for me taking up valuable work time for this damn contest. However, other than the one in our lobby at Crystal Dynamics, there is no way in hell I’m going to get them this one. So I’ve decided to shoot for this instead. Good job guys!
Also, they deserve a plug for their new game company as well. Alex and his pals have taken the plunge and started their own thing. I’m jealous and excited for them and I wish them the best on their indie game path to fame and fortune. The crew at Gaijin games were some of the people who worked on the Tomb Raider: Underworld DS game (while at another company) for the Crystal TR: Underworld team and there has been some great early buzz about that version. I have a lot of faith in those guys and I think Gaijin Games is going to be an indie studio to look out for.
So, thanks for playing everyone. Some of you got pretty close but Alex and crew got them all. I wish Gaijin Games the best!
