Who’s Got Balls Of Steel?

 Will Harbin Kixeye CEO 3 Unicorn

The video gaming industry is a tough and competitive industry. It’s an industry that if one wants to be successful in they must grab it by the balls and grip it tightly.

The largest social gaming company, Zynga, has been Under Fire as of late with numerous lawsuits, complaints and accusations that Zynga infringes upon copyrights and may even have been involved in some insider trading.

Meanwhile, other social gaming companies are up to doing business as usual. That is that they are trying to develop the next cutesy unicorn, rainbow, fluffy bunny, paint it pink mega hit game.

That is, all except for one. One company is busy trying to hire some peeps. They are looking for some in-your-face, knock-em down to size talent that can get the job done and take that set of steel balls and twist and bend them into a wrecking ball. I am talking about Kixeye.

Kixeye released a recruiting video that just made me bust one of my steel balls. Before you check it out for yourself you should be warned that this video contains some material that may not be suitable for younger audiences;Video Comment

Now on with the show;

If you're a rockstar game maker and you don't want to put your talents towards cow clicking and virtual pet cuddling, we might have a place for you on our team. We're hiring: http://www.kixeye.com/jobs

 

As you can see from the video Kixeye isn’t looking for a Unicorn because they already have one.

The video does give us a Kixeye view of other popular gaming companies.

If you look closely at the images you just might notice some Easter eggs that a fluffy bunny left for us to find.

Choose your weapon. Choose your gaming company. 

 

On a side note;

Why doesn’t Mafia Wars have a gun case in our game lobby?

And a real live shark tank in your press room too……?

We Mafia Wars players love it!

We want to know when you will be developing your version of a crime genre game that doesn’t have a petting zoo and Carnival Crates?

Many players knew the Athletes Mystery Bags were on the dockets. The wait was over (temporarily). For a short time you could send, receive, and open the Athletes Mystery Bags.Athletes Mystery Bags Gift PageMost players were looking for RP’s, skill points, energy/stamina boosts and an item called First Step when they opened their Athletes Mystery Bags.

First Step

As I opened my Athletes Mystery Bags I got a surprise gift. Check this out;

Athletes Mystery Gift Center 2 Yes, I got an Athletes Mystery Bag from opening an Athletes Mystery Bag.

Many players added the Athletes Mystery Bags to their Wishlists before the event was even released.

I can only assume that these players were hoping to have the ability to open a ton of the Athletes Mystery Bags.

What they ended up with is a bucnh of Athletes Mystery bags that are sitting in their virtual locker rooms cluttering up virtual space.

On the bright side they are giftable (for now).

Athletes Mystery Bags Details

I did manage to get at least one of the First Steps before the Athlete Mystery Bags event was closed.

Much like John Schappert, this event didn’t stick around very long. The banners for the event even went through some changes before it was released.

Personally, I would have stuck with ‘Athlete Mystery Bag’ as opposed to the plural version.
