A "Little Big" Surprise from GarageGames

Most of us in the States are getting ready for a special time of year...a time for eating too much, a time to break from the daily work grind, but most importantly, a time to be grateful for the important people around us who make each day worth living.

While the rest of us are preparing for long plane rides and loosening our belts, though, one guy in Eugene stayed up until 4 am on Monday tinkering in Little Big Planet to surprise someone very close to him. Here are the results:


This story has a happy ending, as evidenced by the picture below.

Congrats to Ken Holst, our tireless QA manager, his girlfriend of 9 years Jeanne, and daughter Izabella. And to everyone else on break this week, have safe and happy travels wherever the winds take you!
