Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1173 Joined: 26 Jul 2009   | What was with the random bible man bit in the credits? That show is so damn hilarious though. |

We are talking about the same office work, right? This is Escapist office work! How can it possibly be boring! They play with exercise balls, and play games, and have kittens that- *throat gets slit*

This is the Escapist, a wildly successful two times Webby award winning magazine, i have a hard time imagining that they jump around on exercise balls and play games all day, especially since the staff members admit they have less time to game than they used too (back in the days), although the subject they work whit is fun and good times i don't think the work it self is that much fun. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2235 Joined: 24 Nov 2008  | It looks like everyone in the office works in one small room with some cubicles in the corner. Maybe you need a show that tours the offices. Also, Buzz Lightyear outside of Russ's window! Now I have to go make some friends and gather them for the Bibleman show. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 160 Joined: 25 Sep 2009   | ah i remember seeing that bibleman show mentioned on something ages ago but its still funny cool episode, its always nice to know that once in a while the people we look up too have similar thoughts to ours, other times its a little worrying |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2314 Joined: 14 Jan 2008    | Amazing episode! Susan: I know what you mean. I have fallen victim to this trap too!! And hey napping with kittens is cute and fun!. And Russ: I lol'd at the staring off into space |

Greatest job in the world but, yes, still very much a job. The folks here are some of the funniest, most entertaining people I've ever met, but they also work incredibly hard. That said, we do throw things at each other with a fair amount of frequency. Also, we eat a lot of candy. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 923 Joined: 9 Nov 2008   | Very funny. I loved Susan's answer to the superpower question. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1638 Joined: 10 Sep 2008   | I'm guessing none of the Escapist staff go to tvtropes.org to prevent entire days from being lost. Fun episode. It's always cool to see the people that make the stuff you enjoy. |

They don't need to be hanging out on tvtropes, they are part of tvtropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BenCroshaw |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 374 Joined: 19 Jul 2009   | I'm not sure what upsets me the most; the fact you guys snuck some "Bibleman" footage into your closing credits, the fact that there is indeed a show called "Bibleman", or the fact that Willie Aames actually resurrected his career with it. Not to mention the even more upsetting fact that I know who Willie Aames is... |

One of the questions was about super powers. "What exactly is Bibleman's power?" seems a more fitting question to ask. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2361 Joined: 29 Oct 2008    | Bibleman's power is unwillingly converting people to Christianity. Ummm... Don't quote me, I'm only kidding. |

You get time off? I'm definitely in the wrong business. |

Well, Yahtzee is part of it, anyways. It's fun seeing what tvtropes has to say about the various series. If anybody has a few spare days laying around where you won't be missed, I recomend clicking on those links and also searching for some of the Escapist's other material. |
