A nerve-wrecking week has passed. Worst nighmares had become true. Our coffee machine was broken.

As you may be able to tell  by interpreting this highly complex chart from American Scientific there is a close relationship between productivity and coffee. Have a look at the slope in the morning and see for yourself how coffee verifiably increases the incline.  Also, lunchbreak is but a light dent and in the afternoon productivity stays high.

Today, our new coffee machine was shipped, installed and coffee was immediately implemented. All is well now. No-one had to die. We are all thankful we survived this terrible time.

And finally, here’s the last part of the unconventional Projekt Deutschlandreise Blog Documentary on Exit Games.

Projekt Deutschlandreise #3 - GolfingSince one of our largest projects is World Golf Tour, it was self-evident that we had to talk about golf.

And go play golf. <gulp>

So this part was shot on a driving range near or offices. It was freezing cold and while Chris gave some clever answers I found out how hard it really is to hit this frickin’ little ball …

Anyway, it was really fun afterall, and here’s the great video blog entry (again, in German): “Golfing with Xeon”

Remember the guys from Projekt Deutschlandreise? They visited us a while ago, shooting a little blog-documentary about Exit Games.

Projekt Deutschlandreise #2 - OriginsThe first part was filmed in a submarine, now the second part is online, shot in our offices. Chris talks about the origins of Exit Games – again, all in German. But maybe you’d like to have a look here: “Code needs Power

A while ago, Exit Games was visited by a German team of creative reporters on their tour through Germany. Searching innovative high-tech companies, they travel across the country in what they call “Projekt Deutschlandreise” and report their visits and interviews on their blog website.

Projekt Deutschlandreise #1 - Surviving By Innovation

Their first crazy blog video is now online, filmed in the belly of a Russian submarine from the 1970′s, Chris was asked about how innovation can help survive in the times of a world economic crisis. Unfortunately, it’s in German only. But maybe you’d like to have a look?
