Here are some photos from the previously mentioned event at my place of work, Hyland Software:

Gladiators
"Are you not entertained?!"

The Stance
The gray platform was a bit wobbly.

Bowling!
Human bowling? YES.

The Bowl
Let me assure you that this is very safe. I mean, look. There's seatbelts and stuff.

Not A Strike
There was only 1 strike in the 20 or so attempts. The first guy stuck out his feet and kicked down the remaining ones, although that didn't count, since that's incredibly dangerous (the ball with person inside weighed at least three hundred pounds).

Catapult
These fearsome siege engines were actually more scary to the people launching them, as they would almost tear themselves apart under its own forces (that's like 25lbs of sand in that bucket), unleashing a torrent of duct tape and PVC shards.

Win!
We even got real metal medals! Our team (Peru) won second, only because our catapult fired backwards. Also, we won Best Buy gift cards.

Rawr
Finally, an action shot! This is me defeating a fellow intern in an honorable duel.

Not shown in these pictures: water balloon toss (I won), electric car racing, beer, giant rib feast, Rock Band, Poker tournament, Lan party (I spawn killed our CTO a few times, I think I made him mad).

It was like a summer camp mixed with a carnival. But then you see 40 year old computer programmers hitting each other with giant sticks and you realize that software companies know how to have fun.

IN CONCLUSION: I am glad I went to the OSU Career Fair and nabbed this job!
