The Splash Damage astrolabe and sundial are in agreement, the Twelve Tapir Sages nod in unison: there can be no dissent - somehow it's six (6) [SIX] years to the day that Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was released. No, wait. There is absolutely no way that can be true. Really? Really? OK. OK, if you say so. Crikey.

A massive, enormous, colossal, firm yet still sensitive thanks to everyone who made Wolf:ET (and not-very-indirectly-at-all Splash Damage) the success it/we is/are. It's been and remains a splendid and extraordinary ride and we have you to thank for it.

For old time's sake, why not take it out for a spin? Coincidentally, we've cobbled together new portal-ish page for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with download links, a leaderboard, and other helpful bits and pieces. And while you're at it, why not take Salteh's Wolf:ET birthday quiz?

It's official - our next game is called BRINK and viewers of last night's special GameTrailers TV broadcast were treated to an exclusive teaser trailer.

We're really looking forward to sharing more details about BRINK at next week's E3 show in Los Angeles. Stay tuned!

At long last, our closely-guarded latest project is set to be revealed with a sneak peek during tonight's special E3 episode of GameTrailers TV. Titled GTTV Presents: VGA-E3 First Look 2009 Special, the whole thing is set to air on US television channel Spike TV at 11 PM Eastern Time (which is roughly 4 AM here in the UK). Here's more information on the program:

"Want to get a look at the hottest games of E3 before anyone else?

Here at Splash Damage, we are all about the Victory. We have Victory. We demand Victory. We don't recognise anything other than Victory. So, following last year's criminal outrage and travesty of justice and offence against all that is just and fair, we once again lace up our boots and inflate our sporting bladders to take part in the MCV Games 5's Football Tournament.

Definitely and fearlessly answering every question our Ouija board demanded is Audio Programmer Simon 'Bazee' Price in our latest staff interview. Simon comes to Splash Damage from Pivotal Games where he worked on Haze for the PlayStation 3 and now works with our resident sound effects Mozart Chris Sweetman to make sure our game audio provides the same delicious flavors and crisp textures that you have come to expect from your favored mouth-foodstuff.

To find out more about Simon, his duties at Splash Damage, how he ended up here, and why he personifies the Indian version of ebay, check out the full interview in his profile.

The latest staff member to be gently and yet firmly wheeled into the spotlight of our on-going series of interviews is Radek 'ElDonaldo' Szczepanczyk. Radek is a Technical Environment Artist and comes to Splash Damage having created artsy bits for Racedriver: Grid and at least two giant robots (which, to be fair, are pretty much required for anyone wanting to work on games).

To find out what Radek's job entails, how he ended up at Splash Damage and, indeed, in the industry, and what all this means, peruse the full interview in his profile.

Welcome to the latest edition of Currently Hurling, our semi-regular look at we're playing here at the Splash Damage World Headquarters. Plants vs Zombies, the latest effort of Professional Productivity Murderers PopCap, and, much like Peggle before it, has people glued to their screens. The other big title in this update is Little King's Story on the Wii - a rather unique proposition as Tim explains below:

Tim 'Huntle' Rose (Production Coordinator):
In the crevices of spare time that can be found around the base of the awesome Team Fortress 2 mountain, I have been feasting on delicious morsels of regency. A mix of Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon and real-time strategy, Little King's Story is cute blend of exploration, city building and fighting and feels right at home on the Wii.

Online Services Programmer Ed 'MrEd' Reid is the latest of our team members to unknowingly feature in our series of staff interviews. Ed comes to Splash Damage from fellow UK developer Pivotal Games where he worked on Conflict: Denied Ops and is not only named after talking horse, but also happily programming away on our next game.

To find out every last detail about Ed, how he ended up at Splash Damage, his daily duties, why half of the development team regularly gets a panic attack, and so much more, read the full interview in his profile.

Diogo comes to Splash Damage from Portugal where he worked on UGO Volt for the Xbox 360 and is now working away with 100% of his hands on the game code and technology powering our latest title.
