No injuries, so I assume everyone's fine. A fire sucks though, and yes, that is indeed the Humanhead office.

those guys created Rune! i thought company are dead already.
fire is sucks, indeed.

McIlroy · Apr 2007

Far from dead they just released Prey not to long ago and that was a good game !

That really blows. I hope they didn't lose any data for my Rune sequel. I'm sure they must have had some offsite backups , and insured equipment etc. , but think of all that sweet flammable cube swag gone to waste.

-I like how the second link credits them as being a "web design firm".

Do we know the exstent of the damage yet?

I mean the articles seem to seggest that the fire was largily at the rear of the building and the main office areas at the front were lucky...apart from the water damage..

Sucks arse though.

I am pretty Sure HHS is in the basement of that building (I know someone who used to work there) so it isn't entirely out of the question to think that they might have survived smoke free. Or not.

Fingers crossed eh.

I think they're a bit higher than that. Apex's rather flammable storage is much down lower (and could have been the cause)

it is a relief nobody was hurt and they can continue the development of great new award-winning products.

A fire on 4/20? Huh. Coincidence? You decide.

ebagg · Apr 2007

I mentioned this to some coworkers and we're all glad no one was there to be injured by the fire...and saddened by the tragic loss of action figures this must have caused

I think a moment of silence is needed for the loss of so many toys...

to quote starwars, "...as though a million voices just cried out and were suddenly silenced." Yeah toys cry too...
