Glu Mobile Celebrates National Donut Day

This past Friday, the nation no doubt celebrated National Donut Day and Glu Mobile was no different.

To ring in the holiday, we decided to find out if anyone on the staff could scarf down the massive cinnamon rolls that invade our office every other week.

And so Bradly Bilfuco, our Senior Creative Services Manager and Isaac Stevenson from our Quality Assurance department answered the call as they agreed to battle it out. With a 30 second time limit, we let them go at it to see how much of the donut they could take down.

Glu Bowl-A-Palooza!

When the glu team needs a break from cramming innovative and entertaining games that we love making and you love playing, we like to step away from our computers to play games together in the real world, analog-style!

Last Friday was the day and the Bel Mateo Bowling Alley was the place. We laced up our shoes (and resisted the urge to take them home with us) and hit the lanes hard!

Here are some photos from the event:

Character Profile: LE0 from Jump O'Clock

After days of aimless wandering a young shopkeeper took LE0 under his wing and put him to work taking apart electronic doodads and scavenging spare parts and gold bolts for trade at the local market. In exchange for his services the shopkeeper gave LE0 weekly oil soaks and allowed him to keep 2 golden bolts for himself. LE0 used the bolts at the nearby circus, fine tuning his agility and learning moves that earned him the nickname “Little Leaping LE0”.
