Press Junketeer  Posts: 381 Joined: 23 Mar 2009     | That looks like it was a fun game. I love it when a plan comes together. Especially if that plan is a rush, or one of mine. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 73 Joined: 21 Jun 2009    | absolutely awesome, we should see more of this its sick :P perhaps regular? im sure everyone including making it would enjoy that. |

Senior Editor  Posts: 2293 Joined: 9 Jan 2007   | Ok, a few things that might not have been immediately obvious from the video: The object of the game was to escort the CEO back to your team's base, but the CEO could only move at a slow walk. (Slowest escort mission EVAR.) Teams rotated bases each round to give everyone a fair shot. If you got hit with a nerf bullet, you were dead until your team's medic ran over and revived you. (The editorial/video team won the best of three rounds, by the way. More equal than otherrrrssssss.[/singsong voice]) For the finale, the MVP from each team squared off against each other in a slaughterfest free for all....that took about five seconds once that behemoth of a Nerf gun came out. :) Yeah, we pretty much work at the best company ever. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 450 Joined: 14 Apr 2009  | I thought it would have been brilliant if the big guy at the end with the automatic nerf blaster did a TF2 Heavy Weapons Guy 'hahahahaha cry some more' spraying Nerfs around the room! |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 677 Joined: 25 Sep 2008  | The dead body bit at the end was hilarious. Actually, the whole thing was hilarious. I wanna buy a Nerf gun right now... |

Singsong voice? More on topic, how awesome is that? The best my old jobs ever did was Ultimate Frisbee competitions! ... A Tea can dream... |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 10 Feb 2009   | The height of summer is upon us, I think this calls for a rematch with super soakers. My personal favourite is the Helix, handles like a water shotgun. To add some visual flair/sense of danger to personal property you could load the water with some dyes. Just don't drink the water. Given the competitive nature of gamers you haven't brought the entire company together but created 3 tight knit teams that will forever vie to out do one another. Just get them to compete on content and features for the site so they don't end up slitting each other's throats in the night. |

I think a Danny-Tea combo would be about five times better. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1726 Joined: 20 Mar 2008 | Well...that was special. I would have been yelling a lot more TF2 references though. And would have worn the nerf katana on my back, Halo-style. Still, I am envious. Except for whoever tore their pants. That's totally pants. (*fail*) |

Frankly, I think the staff and a bunch of community members would be a lot of fun. User was banned for: The artist in thee. (Permanent) |

Staff Vs. Community! Yes! Brilliant! This must be done! By the power of greyskull! If not in real life, then at least in an MMOFPS or something! |

Something obscure or old, just to make it more hilarious! Oh my, how crazy awesome and retro would that be? |

I'm just looking for a reason to play BattleField 2 again. Sigh. |

Well they did kinda do that a few months back with Planetside and while I didn't get to compete, it looked pretty damm fun, especially since BoingBoing and RockPaperShotgun (the other sites we competed against) caved easily under the combined might of the Escapist, and then blamed it on the game being suxorz. Hopefully, the staff has an TF2 Team left over from the tournament so you can play against them anyways. |

Jeff always makes me think of Vince Vaughn personally. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1616 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | That was simply awsome. Plus the fact that the song "Holy Diver" by Dio was used in the video, which automatically makes it twice as awsome. |
Contributor  Posts: 408 Joined: 19 Nov 2007  | Aw man. Awesome. Why am I remote freelancer again? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1151 Joined: 7 Dec 2008 | Well now I need to buy a ton of nerf guns and do this with my friends... but first I need to get friends *sniff* You guys have the best office evar. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 428 Joined: 20 Oct 2008 | Whoever brought in the vulcan (minigun) is fucking awesome. More companies need to do cool stuff like this. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1201 Joined: 10 Feb 2009 | OK, this is totally happening (again) the next time I have a bunch of friends in the same place. I wonder how much a collection like that would cost...probably in the thousands of dollars. Whatever, it'd be worth it! Oh, and I would have pwned (yes, it deserves the p) at that. My friends call me Deadeye McInvisible when I've got the revolver and pump-action. |
