&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re good to go, but first,  a word from Mr. Shinji Mikami。&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lazs3fYDyi1qdk4zg.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lazs5hD2Uy1qdk4zg.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of our staff brought their dogs. Two cute french bulldogs in a bonding moment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lazs6sTqBk1qdk4zg.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nishikawa-san spent the whole day cooking up his hometown Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lazs7rdiPn1qdk4zg.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Throw some yaki-soba in there and its good to go.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyone gets together for a final cheer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A great success! Full bellies and empty Styrofoam trays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everyone here at Tango Gameworks wants to do something like this at least once a year. It was great to kick back and relax with everyone from work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lazsc4T0u21qdk4zg.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Uh oh. Someone partied a little too hard. Time to teach him a lesson.&lt;/p&gt;
