Photo Library Chronicles Flashbang’s History

Posted to Blurst by Matthew on August 5th, 2009

As you may have noticed on our super-amazing new Blurst sidebar, we have created a Flickr account to track the history of Flashbang/Blurst.  To start things off we’ve uploaded 150+ photos from the company’s past:  conferences, game jams, parties, and random photos.  Here are some highlights:

GDC 2009

Steve and Matthew emcee the Independent Games Festival and Independent Games Summit. We organize our third-annual indie party.

Halloween Party 2007

After getting our new office space, we throw a video game-themed Halloween party. It is both nerdy and delightful, with a chance of drunk. One of our friends throws up all over our new carpet and sleeps with his head lodged awkwardly behind the toilet.

Embarrassingly Old Photos

We’ve posted random/old photos as far back as 2002. Some are particularly embarrassing for us, although we imagine many of these photos are probably embarrassing for humanity at large. You be the judge.

Office History

Flashbang operated out of conjoined apartments for several years (at one point we actually had four adjacent apartments in 2×2 grid, with holes drilled through floors/walls for network cable). Here’s what our “office” has looked like through the years:

More Photo Goodness

We’ll backfill more photos as we find them squirreled away in our digital shoeboxes. We need to take some new photos, too. We’ve had amazing Blurst-colored walls in our office for 8 months now, although I can’t actually find any photos to prove it. In the meantime enjoy browsing the photo archives! It’s probably easiest to browse by set.

Even we’re not sure what kind of horrifying photographic evidence exists in the Flashbang photo archive. Post your favorite photo in our updated comment system!

    Combined with the latest videos on Vimeo, it's very interesting to see where it all begun.

    Btw, listening to Change of Seasons from Dream Theater helped to get in the right mood for this... history lesson. ;)
