I wish my office was this fun. All we have is Larry the pet robotic cockroach, 🙂

And to those who are disgruntled, I can sympathise but stuff like this brings a team together and a will actually improve productivity, 🙂

Instead you can blame the small budgets and even shorter deadlines for your problems, 🙂

I agree, there’s a time and place for everything and this reaction seems way off! All this negativity over seeing the workers *having fun* is just spiteful and not really contributing anything constructive. :/

Besides, having a fun and eccentric work environment is important for a franchise like The Sims! The very worst things that could happen to this game are cynical people breathing down the necks of stressed out game makers and creating content like a conveyor belt line… Endearing fun is the true spirit of The Sims! 🙂

LOOOL!! Thanks! 😀
I hate FB, don’t use it, my kids don’t use it-only husband does because he sings. Many are unaware of the bad things that happen.
(Including credit companies seeing you have “friends” with bad credit, and lowers your credit score for “associating” with them.Dumb, huh?)
Makes me sad when I come across so many young teenagers not realizing what they are posting is BAD for their future. 🙁 People say they “NEED” it? So then, BEFORE it, they were unable to keep in touch with friends & family? Really? How sad…and lazy. Sorry, I will stop rant on the evils of social media now.
I WILL say it HAS been good for emergencies/disasters! 😀

Something as innocuous as them being silly to blow off some steam, during their breaks, while working odd hours and this is the response they get? I am honestly embarrassed to be associated with you people. Is it that hard to, you know, treat them like human beings? What do you want them to do, keep their stress bottled up the entire time, even on break, while working overtime they probably don’t get paid for?

Not to mention if you bothered to read it, you’d know that the most involved one, the foil one, is from when they were working on TS2.

On topic: Dat beach ball. lol It’s from ThinkGeek yeah? ::checks:: Yep…whoa that’s expensive. 0.o

Exactly where i am coming from. Thank you. And all jobs have stress. I am a nurse, and my brother and father are firemen. That is real stress.

We are not forced to buy the games either, and if a few thousand disgruntled players don’t- it might get our point across. Getting working animations or game-play that works, without having to wait months… if then… for a patch keeps us happy, and trust me, you want happy consumers/players.
