Designing A Corporate Game Room?

Posted by simoniker on from the building-morale-through-neogeo dept.

douglawson writes "We're designing a virtual PC team game room for the corporation I spend my days at. The idea here is to create an internal space for team gaming, both for recreational and executive team-building events. If you could dream, what would be in your ideal space? What games, what seating, what sound system, what else?"

    If they set up a room and let them all play Everquest they may never want to leave work...

    They could use that as an incentive to finish projects quicker... or...

    PHB: This project is truly shoddy. Smithers, delete his character...

    Employee: Noooooooo.... I'll do overtime! I promise! For free!

    PHB: Agreed. This time. Next time it's the Newbie Hunting Ground for you!

    First, you need a time machine. Set it for... 1998 or so. Shouldn't you people be working?

    BTW, nice to take those HR enforced 'team building excercises' and turn it into a round of 'frag the phb'. That's thinking outside the box.

    Auggh! 90s flashback! It's a good thing "That 80s Show" was a flop, or somebody would be already creating a hilarious situation comedy about a code shop in San Fransico, with "internal space for team gaming."

    Paying employees somebody else's money so they can sit around and play video games is not capitalism.

    well, as a game tester at a respectable company, i would have to disagree with ya there.. maybe you should just find a job that lets you play games all day too!
