Thanks

Wow, my very first EEGADP, and it's a corker. All you have to do is design what you think SR Towers looks like. Draw it on paper, then scan it, or design it on your computer, whatever. Just get us your designs of what you think our humble palace looks like and the best design(s) will win the game of their choice, and probably go on my wall. I'll decide how many winners (if any), cos I work here and I'm great.
Things to do:
Be funny
Make me laugh
Be kerrazy, madcap, bonkers and off the wall in your designs
Things not to do:
Use a picture of a Special Reserve Shop
For those of you who can't draw for toffee (exams have just passed and some may still be hurt), feel free to describe your ideas in scary detail.
Go, get to it. Try to get your entries in before September 16th, cos that's when I want them by. Feel free to send by post, you caveman.

Heres the real SR Towers for all to see! (honest...)

Ok. I've been to the towers to pick up a gameaday.. Tony asked me to pick it up from them because they didn't want to pay the p&p. So I went along.. with my Spy cam from Special Reserve to see what the shop was like.
When you enter the lobby it's this huge room with Special Reserve slogans "I MUST BUY ALL MY STUFF FROM SPECIAL RESERVE". The slogans were hypnotising and I realise these slogans were to make the staff buy stuff from them. Others said "EB must be destroyed". The wall coverings were covered with these slogans in framed pictures.
Then on the wall was a huge picture of Tony with his thumbs up. Several staff members were in front of the picture kneeling down before the photo and worshipping. The secratary was quite a pretty girl. Very good looking. She smiled at me and I smiled back. I sat down on the waiting room sofa. Nice and comfy it was. I sat and waited. The phone was constantly ringing and the secratary was answering it and telling people she would foward them to the appropriate department. As I waited some person who I recognised at Darkus, one of the Special Reserve workers, was being dragged out of a room by two big men. They dragged him along the floor (he was screaming) and they pulled him into a room opposite. I quickly jumped up (the secratary was on the phone and not really paying attention) so I went into the door. I looked in to see Darkus being tied to a chair.
"This will teach you for buying that game from some place other than the Special Reserve shops!"
"But it was cheaper by £1!"
I then watched them admit the poor guy to a documentary which I noticed was titled "Why I should buy all my products form Special Reserve".
I was startled by a hand on my shoulder.
"Hi."
It was Mr. Snuggly.
"YOu are the gameaday winner yes to come pick up his game?"
"Yes I am," i answered proudly.
"Okey doke come this way."
He led me into a room from which Darkus had come from. The room was full of the top of the range MAXX PCs. I looked over the shoulder of one of the workers and noticed the background was a picture of Tony with the slogan above "If God was human he would be him". I thought this was quite peculiar and shrugged. I did notice that the workers were seated on some pretty nice chairs. Top of the range luxury ones as my camera will show.."

Snuggly took me through this room about 50 computers I'd guess and took me to a big glass elevator. I got inside following Mr. Snuggly and it began to ascend upwards and upwards. It must have been a long way up as my ears popped on the way there. I held my nose and breathed out so that it would clear my ears. Then it stopped on a floor.
"Floor 32 - Custom Services"
A small scruffy person with glasses came in and pressed a number on the elevator. Two floors later the door opened.
"Floor 34 - Suicide floor"
The man whined "I can't stand these complaints any more!!!" and jumped. The man disappeared over the edge and a few minutes later I heard a splat. The doors closed and we continued up. Strange building I thought.
"Floor 40 - Gameaday"
Snuggly stepped out of the lift and I followed. The room was massive with gameadays covering the floor and walls. A copy of Turok Rage Wars was being used as a door stop.. I cursed in amazement. Snuggly guided me through to a small office.
"Wait here while I get your game."
I waited and looked around the room in amazement. It was like heaven. And there was a PS2 station and next to it an N64, then a Playstation then a dreamcast! I also noticed a small sofa right against the wall. A PC was on it's left. A man in his 40s was having a little nap. I wandered over to the man and took a picture. I'd have to let Tony know one of his workers was slacking and wasn't worth working in the company.

I have to say at the time this person having a nap was very familiar.. I couldn't quite work out who e was though. Maybe you can ;-).
Mr. Snuggly brought me out my game, I bungee jumped off the floor to where the Special Reserve winacar car was and got the bus home.
So thats what the tower is like!

It may have already been said, so sorry, but where do you send the Pictures?
So, are you interested or not?
I think seeing these ideas as EEGADP's would be great.
But then, I would say that because they're my ideas!

Guess I will have to draw mine!!! Ugg, Uggg, Meee Caveman!!!
Two ideas actually. I've just thought of an extra one.
Hey, Mr. Snuggly. I just got an idea for your next EEGADP. I'll only tell you if you're interested and want to know, though, because otherwise there's no point!
