Replays in Mad Skills Motocross

----------

To decide who should get the rights to the one glorious cream puff (got a better word for it? - let me know) that arrived here at the office this morning, we put together a comp inspired by the contest the Swedish MX site, MX Star, is currently hosting here: "Vinn spelet Mad Skills Motocross". Feel free to go tease, push or compete with our Swedish friends.

While competing I realized that some of you might have missed out on last week replay update.

You have to download the game again as the update did not roll out with the autoupdate. Just go to your Mad Skills account , log in and download the new version. In time attack you will be able to check your replays!

The 1 kilo cream monster got us all a bit shaky - 20 minutes of hardcore office swearing and the heavenly pastry was MINE - my stomach aches now.

Before I got to enjoy my prize we had to quickly go through the results though. The competition triggered a couple of wagers, as you can see below, we believed Tobias would win....but he did not:

Have a great Wednesday!

T-Bone n’ Turborilla presents – Easter!

It is weird how you sort of shut down just before it is vacation time ey? This Friday and next Monday are public holidays here in Sweden, so we all begun a four day weekend yesterday.

I need your help coming up with a great idea! All I could focus on yesterday was snowy picnics and drinking games involving Worms 3D. I love my job, but yesterday my office head was filled with jello and my irresponsible play head was filled with guarana - all n' all weird n' wonderful.

Anyways I need your help:

What kind of game would you pitch with the following constraints:

It has to involve a shipbroker, a psychologist and a company distributing plastic cards such as the credit card you used to pay for Mad Skills. The game is NOT supposed to involve pitching the companies and you should play for about an hour. It does not have to be playable in a browser.

Great ideas will be rewarded! Email me at joel@turborilla.com

Happy Holidays!
