[drupal=610]Splash Damage Accidentally Wins Develop Pub Quiz[/drupal]

Much to our continued surprise and general bemusement, we walked away with the victor’s trophy at last night’s Spring 2010 edition of the Develop Magazine Games Industry Pub Quiz. 20 different teams from all over the UK games industry were in attendance, including game developers, middleware companies and recruitment agencies.
Representing Splash Damage were Media Director Richard ‘Fluffy_gIMp’ Jolly, Tools Programmer Flavius ‘Flawe’ Alecu, Level Designer Jamie ‘Fishbus’ Manson and Community Relations Manager Steve ‘badman’ Hessel. After all was said and done, we narrowly edged out Curve Studios for the win, while Rocksteady clinched third. Embarassing photos are sure to follow at some point - in the meantime, enjoy this artsy shot of the trophy.

Was it (a) “accidentally”, like accidentally doing the neighbour’s spouse, and (b) was it just as much fun? :stroggbanana:
