Eric Elwell: Intern, artist, friend. Rest in peace buddy. We hope you have gone on to a better place.

Captions for above from left to right:

1. Eric hard at work getting the Mighty Fist demo ready for GDC.

2. Eric shows his love for Marble Blast Ultra.

3. Eric and fellow intern Anthony Fullmer play the 'Tim Aste Orbz mini game.' The innovative game play involves the player scrolling through the high-score list and trying to get it to come to rest on score #37: TIM. As in Tim from Tim Aste's content packs. Part game, part performance art, the sounds effects for the game are performed live.

4. A random picture from the GG whiteboards.

Pictured below: The memorial set up in Eric's honor as seen above the desk where he once sat while creating a mix of game ready art assets and random comments. Not pictured: The memorial of the unknown intern and the eternal flame set up in honor of Eric and all the other interns that have moved on to the big contracting gig in the sky.
