Viking Smackdown

Tim Brunelle, after a full year since the opening of his own Minneapolis shop Hello Viking, celebrated by releasing a new iPhone game using the accelerometer in the phone to make a cartoon viking throw the axe as far as possible. Yesterday, the game was picked up by uber-blog Techcrunch. Here's a video of Arrington playing the game, also.

I don't get it, though. An agency actually doing something cool that can market for itself? That doesn't make any sense. We're supposed to be bad at heeding our own advice..

Anyway, my new iPhone will be here soon enough, and then I can join in on the fun. And by that, I mean kick all of your asses and win the trip to Minneapolis and viking gear. In your face, world.

Awesome! 225 is my best so far.

Thanks, Paul!

You'll have to practice, of course. The current highest score is 990.

Based on our site analytics, the leader is just super awesome, or they're playing several hours at a time. That, friends, is Viking Smackdown dedication.

We look forward to see you on the Top Ten list. (After you totally geek out over owning an iPhone, of course.)

Brian- I'll be kicking your ass in a couple days. :)

Tim- I've scheduled in 3 hours for geeking out over the iPhone. After that I will prove my viking smackdown dedication and retrieve my award. Then, back to iPhone geeking. :)

Now I want to buy an iPhone and win just so that Tim will fly me all the way from Sydney. Now that would be some pie in the eye ;)
