We already know that Uber Entertainment's class-based, third-person shooter Monday Night Combat is available right now on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and that it looks like a ton of fun, but here's a few finer details you may not have known about the developer and their latest creation, courtesy of XCN:

  1. Uber Entertainment started in a two bedroom apartment two years ago with six developers, now their office is 16 people strong.
  2. Monday Night Combat was code named "Hostile" - for obvious reasons - internally for the first year of development.
  3. Uber loves all things bacon including bacon doughnuts, bacon flavored mayonnaise, bacon flavored envelopes. They celebrated finishing the game with bacon flavored vodka!
  4. The Mascot in Monday Night Combat was inspired by the Tron suit guy, Richard Simmons, and the King from Burger King.
  5. Some of the people working at Uber include an improv teaching barista, a wall running ninja, and a belly dancer that raises alpacas...
  6. During production there were two babies born and two marriages.. but not in that order.
  7. There are over 2000 animations in Monday Night Combat, mostly done by a single animator.
  8. Monday Night Combat has been played for over 16,768 hours by the Uber team during development.
  9. During development over 5200 lattes were consumed. Number of toilet breaks is still unconfirmed.
  10. Some of the inspirations for the Monday Night Combat include Idiocracy, Running Man, Robocop, GI Joe, A-Team, Wall-E, and The Incredibles.
