Careful, Jeremy Burkhardt and Dave Donald talk smack in this game.

Instead of dwelling on the miserable year, let's all enjoy some comic relief in the new SpeakerCraft Arcade, where you collect points by inflicting the most amount of bodily harm to company president Jeremy Burkhardt.

The two games, developed by SpeakerCraft's Nino Del Padre, include:
  • Whack the Craft, where Burkhardt and VP Marketing Dave Donald pop out of mole holes and you whack them with a Nirv remote. Play Whack the Craft below.

  • Nirv Launch, in which you catapult Burkhardt from a Nirv launcher and score bonus points if he gets a jolt from a 88865-8 Channel Amp (gamer discretion advised; he gets pretty mangled). Play Nirv Launch here.
"It's all to remind us why we got in this business in the first place: to have fun," says Donald. "And especially this year, we all need an excuse to have some laughs."

The Arcade certainly fits the lively culture of SpeakerCraft, maker of loudspeakers and multiroom audio systems. In the past, the company has brought us:Play the games and post your high scores in the comment section below. No lying. We know who you are.

Appropriately, I think Jeremy is programmed to be more “elusive.”

Total = 20 hits on Jeremy in 3 rounds
Total = 40+ hits on Dave in 3 rounds.

Tip: It works better if you keep the NIRV control in “rapid fire” mode.

Jeremy:

10 + 10 + 10 = 30 total.

Anyone have a touchscreen computer? Any easier than whacking-by-mouse?

OK, better job with rapid fire (Jeremy)

15 + 16 + 19 = 50
