Rare employees party and a pinata gets torched photo

When Rare Ltd., the creators of Viva Pinata has a party, they have party. Rare's employees recently had a bonfire party where they set a giant wooden Horstachio pinata on fire. Every year the company holds the bonfire party but this year the team decided to add the huge wooden horse to the fire in celebration of the game's completion.

If that wasn't cool enough, the Rare team also held their annual Christmas party and decided to go with a Viva Pinata masquerade theme this year. Each employee was either given a mask to wear or made their own unique masks.

Sadly there is no word on whether any pinatas made it out of the parties alive.

Thanks Luke!

Am I the only one expecting a member of Rare's staff to turn up on Pornotube fucking a model of one of the pinatas? Seriously, I don't know if Rare could whore out this game any more.

I KNEW IT. Those bastards at Rare just waste valuable time and money when they could be working day and night on Banjo-Threeie!! THIS is why the game won't come out until 2009.
