Earlier this week Uber released a video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxEAjO8M-Z8) featuring AZO our resident animator on Monday Night Combat for XBLA and Part Time Wall Running Ninja.

After the video went out to the masses CliffyB from Epic had this to say:

"http://bit.ly/9voOg1 - Hey, awesome animator guy will you please come work at Epic?"

Being big fans of CliffyB and his fast cars and cookies, we had no choice but to oblige his request. How could you not, its CliffyB!! <3

We said goodbye to AZO, shoved him into a shipping box, packed enough food for the three week boar ride to lovely Cary, North Carolina.

BUT, apparently we forgot to put enough $0.41 cent stamps on AZO's shipping box. So after several weeks traveling across the US and almost to Cary, North Carolina, he was shipped back to us. AZO told us it was a fun trip but he enjoys working at Uber. He's decided to stay as long as we keep paying him in cardboard boxes.

We started getting pictures back from his trip from various people across the US, so if you spotted him please post your pics on our forum here

Here's a couple of shots we received from various people:

shot by Ray skiing in Colorado

Submit your photos of AZO on his trip across the US.

My brother-in-law is a postal worker in Memphis and said that AZO is a really nice guy in person and was a good sport about the whole thing.

Some mis-informed post office employee heard the box snoring, took a peek inside, took one look at Aung and "deported" the package back to Gaum without even asking Mr. Oo for an explanation. Luckily, Aung was able to explain himself upon arrival to that quaint pacific island, and had a kind postman there snap a photo of the aftermath of this mix-up.

After AZO's unfortunate trip to Guam, the USPS sent him off on his merry way to his intended destination. Unfortunately, they misread North Carolina as "North Canada", and AZO made his way to the sunny parliament buildings of Ottawa, Ontario.

He even managed to find the time to march for peace!

Somebody should send you football players to a beauty farm and teach them how to apply their mascara correctly... :twisted:
