Double trouble: Mayhem Intergalactic wins two ATOM Awards

Good news! I mentioned a couple of months ago that Mayhem Intergalactic had been named a finalist in the 2008 EnhanceTV ATOM Awards. Well, I’m happy to report that the game picked up not one but two shiny perspex trophies, winning both the categories it was eligible for (Best Interactive/Video Game and Best Tertiary Interactive/Video Game). Zing!

I’m a star!

(At least, I think they’re perspex. They might be glass, although I’d expect solid glass to be heavier. I’m not planning to throw them at any walls to check whether they shatter, so it will probably remain a mystery.)

2007 ATOM Awards trophies. The 2008 trophies are the same, except for the year number.

You can view the full list of winners on the ATOM Awards website. One of the most pleasant surprises of the night (right up there with getting a pair of swanky trophies) was seeing the impressively large turnout from Narrabundah College, my old school. Not only did they raise the most deafening cheers in the whole gosh darn audience, they also swiped two awards between them and partied on into the night in style! Rock on Narrabundah!

  1. The Culture Shock video was pretty funny. It seems like the author watched a lot of Ren & Stimpy, as it had many similar elements. That, and I laughed at the plug that was made in the US, because it reminded me of when I bought my [Japanese] cell phone and it came with an Australian-outlet charger, and an adapter to US outlets. I saw the plug for the first time and laughed like crazy.

    Congrats on the awards!
