Big Robot Game Café gets Facade Makeover
From the Tipp City Visitor’s Bureau:
The Downtown Tipp City Partnership (DTCP) has teamed up with the Big Robot Game Café, Sherwin-Willaims, and Fred’s Signs to provide a façade makeover for the Big Robot Game Café located at 114 E. Main Street. Matt Owen, Executive Director of the DTCP states that “this project will be the first in what’s hoped to be a series of Façade Makeovers for downtown Tipp City business owners.” The makeover is part of a program initiated by the DTCP that offers up to $500 in matching funds along with design assistance geared towards refreshing storefronts in Tipp City’s downtown commercial district. Owen states, “We hope that by providing these small grants we can encourage local Tipp City merchants to invest in their storefronts, which are really 24/7 billboard ads for their businesses.
Rock Band Execs to Get $300 Million Bonus
Based on the explosive sales of the popular video game Rock Band, Viacom (VIA) has agreed to pay the game developers an astounding $300 million in bonuses. The payment would be made as part of Viacom’s 2006 acquisition of Harmonix – the company behind the game. Finally, a corporate bonus we can all get behind.
Rock Band expands on Guitar Hero’s original model of players rocking out on guitar controllers in sync to popular music. This version allows up to 4 simultaneous players — or bandmates — to play lead and bass guitars, drums, and vocals. The simple yet addictive gameplay is responsible for 7 million sales in 13 countries, 26 million song downloads and countless domestic disturbance calls from neighbors. It’s also one of very few titles to span the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii platforms. For exceeding performance targets last quarter, Harmonix founders Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy received $150 million – and now stand to gain an additional $150 million in 2009.
