An Amazing Day at Cyan!

What can I say? Hard to describe the feeling of actually being at Cyan and meeting some of the people responsible for having drawn us into the wonderful worlds of Myst. It was kind of surreal, in a way. The building and landscaping were true works of art in themselves, but of course the people inside were even more fascinating! Rand came out to greet us at 9am with a nice long welcoming speech, and then we were set loose in the building, where we visited different "stations" half hour time slots. Rand manned the "artifact" station, RAWA was in charge of the video station, Tim Larkin was the host of the music station, plus we had two different artwork stations and the extremely popular "souvenir shop". We were able to meet and talk with everyone (including family members) except the QA people who were chained to their desks working on a Saturday. Cyan provided us with a great lunch of hot dogs, chips, soda, cake and cookies, then Rand and Trent (GameTap) did a Q & A session that was very informative, using the new catch phrase "in the future" quite often. Oh, and for those who have been following the photo scavenger hunt saga, our team won!!!
