Here's what the pit looked like a few minutes before the
Upper Year students were allowed in... |
...And here's what it looked like a few minutes after. |
 |
|
We took pictures of this podium; it's used in the game. |
Man, that was a fabulous place to watch the
action. |
 |
 |
An eager upper-year student jumps the gun. I think that
might be Derek Crawford, Sci '99... he's the guy diving into the pit in the credits
sequence in The Pole Game. |
The pyramid builds up again. It took the
Frosh 28 attempts at building a pyramid to reach the tam that year. I took notes to
help improve the AI. |
 |
 |
We needed shots of mud and water for the game. |
The pit you see in the doesn't exist. It's
a composite of dozens of shots like this. The splashing came from actual pit
splashing... |
 |
 |
...and the ripples came from shots like this. |
Al "Pop Boy" Burchell and friends savor
their part in the Frosh victory. |
 |
 |
The pit calms down. |
Deconstructing the site. We decided to
leave the orange fence out of the game, 'cuz in videogames, nobody gets hurt. |
 |
 |
The cleanup (and the mayhem) continues. |
Recognize that ambulance? |
 |
 |
I thought I might include these guys in the background of the
Game, but I didn't want to end up in jail. |
P.S. Did you see what these guys had to say? Looks like the Pole Chase
is no more. |
 |
 |
Another familiar sight from The Game. |
