Poke the Penguin Pins Are On The Way

Topic: GV HQ
Poke the Penguin pins!
Poke the Penguin pins being packaged and shipped out.

A while back we offered up free Poke the Penguin pins to our GV Gold members who wrote us an email and requested a pin. It took a bit to wrangle all the emails and package the pins, however we finally attempted to send out all our pins last week, only to discover they had been returned to GV HQ by the US Post Office this morning (who had an issue with the size of the envelopes we used). While we once again attempt to send the free pins out to our patient members we thought why not open up the offer to anyone else looking to score some free GV swag! 

Looking to score your own FREE Poke the Penguin Pin?

To get your free Gamesville Poke the Penguin Pin, send a stamped (postage pre-paid) self-addressed envelope to:

While moving around some boxes here at GV HQ when the team rediscovered this gem from Gamesville past, our giant retro bingo card! The card stands about eight feet tall and has now taken its rightful place back in Chris Cummings' office. Check out more from GV HQ at our newly redesigned Gamesville Facebook Page.

Happy Halloween from Gamesville!

Topic: GV HQ

Gamesville is spooktacular!

The folks here at Gamesville HQ got into the Halloween spirit a little early this year with some candids of our brand new Gamesville Halloween Masks in action at the office. Check out our photos below, then print out your own, FREE Gamesville Masks for Halloween--or any time!

Our lovely "Gamesville Vegas"

Our favorite "Three-Eyed Bunny"

And our very studious "Poke The Penguin"

Also, our resident Gamesville poet 83klim submitted a quirky Halloween poem for you all to enjoy:

On Halloween night this would be such a scare;
going outside, I wouldn't dare.
A witch with two horns,a pumpkin, a bat and a cat;
who wouldn't be frightened having seen all that?
Orange and black,are the colors of the day;
Dark cloudy skies, treat-or-treat if you may.
Happy Halloween all you goblins and ghouls;
The nights of the spirits, that is the rule.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Ferret Friday!

Topic: GV HQ

When GV team members bring their pets into work, it can mean only one thing...

FERRET FRIDAY!!!

Useless Ferret Fact:  Ferrets are born deaf, and begin to hear at around 34 days--around the same time that their eyes begin to open for the first time. Source: weaselwords.com

Bonus Ferret Fact: All ferrets are born white, and take on their approximate adult color at three weeks of age.

Now Playing: B-52's Funplex

Topic: GV HQ
There's a new sound rocking Gamesville HQ today, and it's the B-52's first album in sixteen years(!): Funplex.

 

The band says -- and we can happily confirm -- that Funplex is "loud, sexy rock and roll with the beat turned up to hot pink!" And if that doesn't convince you to check it out, we can't help you.

Note: You can hear the songs for free on the band's MySpace page.
