To get our games done for holiday 2008, our big deadlines happen in the spring and summer previous. So, as you might imagine, there’s a lot going on at Powerhead Games, what with the multiple awesome projects in the pipe, forthcoming client visits, and of course, all the Formal Friday-ing you could ever want.  Between hitting our deadlines, and the New York City heat, it can get pretty hectic at times.  Luckily there’s folks like David Gallaher, writer of the hit web comic High Moon and all around great guy, to remind of two very important things:

1.  Ice cream makes everything better.
2.  Dry ice is one of the neatest things ever.

A Fed Ex guy showed up to the office this morning with a box full of joy in the form of six pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream addressed to “Team Awesome c/o Powerhead Games”.  Flavors include Steven Colbert’s Americone Dream, Sweet Cream & Cookies,  Vermonty Python, Cake Batter, and perennial favorites Strawberry and Vanilla.  As great as the frozen treats are, though, half the fun was disposing of all the dry ice they came packed in.  As seen in the pictures below, my poor memory of sixth grade science class and what happens to a box of dry ice when exposed to a sink full of hot water resulted in turning our humble office bathrooms and hallway into a lost Flock of Sea Gulls video.  Or maybe a Rob Liefeld comic.  Behold the hilarity, and click to embigginate:

(Editor’s note: We probably should have saved some of the dry ice for the next Rock Band night!)

Thanks again for thinking of us, David.  A Powerhead T-shirt is on its way to you, and drinks are on me for the next several years at least.
