In the MMO PWI, I named multiple stealth skills after lyrics in the sneaky pirate song "With Cat-like Tread" from Pirates of Penzance. Never saw anyone pick up on it (I'm under no illusions about the modern popularity of Gilbert and Sullivan), but it still amused me to do it.
Making games makes you HUNGRY! Lunch for all of our team members is on the company today in celebration of
#EmployeeAppreciationDay
