Swimmers...

And you thought we were done. Some of our developers were thinking that this little acquisition meant it was going to be a summer of mashing buttons playing World of Warcraft with a case of Red Bull and Domino's Pizza on the speed dial. Sorry kids. The game is still on, and the playing field just got bigger. Get your helmet on, because genius never sleeps. And it's scalable.
