Here’s a quick little site we did with our buddies down the road at Harmonix – makers of the upcoming smash hit Rock Band. This is a site for Phase, a new type of game for the iPod that is sorta like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, but lets you play it with any song on your iPod. Seriously, how cool is that? Check it out at phasegame.com.

We feel strongly that you should check out the new game we just made for VH1. And laugh a lot. And if you do not laugh a lot, there may be something wrong with you. Maybe. We’re just saying, s’all.

Oh. My. God. So much going on. Where to begin? First. Comcastic. We teamed up with Goodby, Number 9, our pal and sound designer Sean T Drinkwater and Erik Natzke to build out this site. TBG was responsible for the High Speed Internet section which entails 5 skills games that will eventually lead players to a tournament for their chance at getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. As a player, you will be able to challenge and chat with other logged in members to compete in the games head to head. Your score will be recorded, making you eligible to become the best mouse user EVERRRRR.
Next. The Passat B6 Minisite, created by our one and only Robert Hodgin, in conjunction with Arnold Worldwide, is live. There is going to be a total of 120 mini-videos that showcase the new features of the car. Right now, there’s about more than a third of them up, but the rest will be incorporated within the next couple of weeks. Check it out!
Third. The Milwaukee’s Best Light Poker Game. Made in conjunction with Mother New York. This is really awesome. Went up on Thursday on our Milbest site, alongside some other Poker-related content, all very fun. Test your poker skills against Poker champ Chris “Jesus” Ferguson:
Fourth! God, we’ve been busy. You know how when you call and we say “oh yeah, it’s pretty busy.” See? We weren’t kidding. Finally, we offer you Boston.com’s tenth anniversary game, Lobstah Bash. Defend boston from a rabid candle and present hurling lobster. Don’t ask. Just play. And be warned. It’s HARD.
IN OTHER NEWS: Gametap, a project we’ve been working on with Mullen, got a nice writeup in The New York Times yesterday. I saw a decent article in AdWeek this week as well, but that one, ahem, didn’t mention your Barbarian friends. We josh. Anyway, if you’ve seen the enigmatic Get Goatz or What Is Adat spots on Adult Swim, you might begin to have some idea what we’re takling about here.
Speaking of Adweek, they did a really nice writeup of the insanely, completely addictive game we did for Saucony with Nail.
Finally, we’d like to welcome Jill as an interactive producer. She was last at Electronic Arts. And we’d like to welcome Cole as our latest rock star Flash designer. We found him on Flickr. No joke. Who says the Internet’s all hype?

IT IS TIME TO GET YER MEATINS ON. That’s right. Ironic use of the browser shake. You know you love it. We’re not gonna tell you much about this just yet, you have to go dig. But we WILL say we did it with Mullen and those guys are pretty cool
The Birtney Spears Fantasy site is now fully live, and doing a good amount of traffic, coincidentally. Props to Elizabeth Arden and Goodby for the change of pace.
Oh, also, I don’t think I ever showed you the Virgin Mobile Parental Enlightenment Kit. We made this with Mother New York. It’s really funny. You’ll like it.
We’d also like to let you know that we’ve refreshed our job postings, and give a big shout out welcome to Liz Whittaker, our new Senior Producer, who starts this Monday. Liz is an old friend of many of us from our Arnold days, and it’s been a dream of ours to make her a Barbarian for years. This was the third time we tried to hire her, and bless her heart, she finally said yes. Maybe this means she thinks we might actually stay in business now.
