The Escapist Presents: Tour the Fortress

[Pegghead]

Wait a second, where is the room where you keep all your magics that make this place so awesome?

 

[DeAvatar]

Very awesome to see the office and seeing the various Escapist staff!

 

[soapyshooter]

I've already seen the outside. Meridian park hehehe. I know where you are Escapist! >.>

I live 10 mins away from you guys.

You guys have a fun work environment

 

[TheButteryGoodness]

was it just me, or did it look like John Funk was starting to grow some mutton chops?
maybe he just hadn't shaven but the 5 O'clock shadow looked darker on the side. I dunno, maybe it was just stubble, but I think mutton chops are awesome, so I'll hold out hope.

The Sound guy had a CityTech Box on his desk, someone who works there please tell him he's awesome for me, thanks.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I would love to work in a place like this someday.

 

[Enigmers]

It just occurred to me that my music class is another one of these really fun environments, and the music staff also have a frankly astounding collection of Nerf weaponry.

Coincidence? I think not.

Also, @John Funk: Do they sell the Gundam models from Endless Waltz anymore? My brother made one of the new-ish Gundam Heavyarms, but I've always been more partial to Sandrock with his sweet cape, but I don't think I can buy those anymore.

edit: I didn't even realize @John Funk actually did anything, but that's kinda cool.

John's EVE ship is a Megathron, a cool Gallente Battleship
also, I wonder what 360 game that was on Alexander's desk (I'd say Bayonetta, but I'm not sure)
Props to John Funk's desk as always ^-^

Two things:

First Susan Arendt..pretty foxy!!

Second: Count me amongst the surprised that the escapist is in the US, I thought it was Canadian for some obscure reason.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Awwww, best workplace ever! Hirrreee meeeeeeeee - I wouldn't even mind being the Office Flunky, doing nothing but fetching coffee and paper for the copiers!

Seriously, though, loved the video. It's awesome to see you guys IRL. Thanks for the tour!

there seems to be a very high number of extremely attractive women working there.

Well I'm glad someone else said it before me.

My thoughts in approximate reverse order:
1) Seems like a great place to work! Happy 5th birthday!
2) Man, how long has it been since I heard the names "Kate" & "Leo" together? Used to watch them on my C-Band dish all the time!
3) Ah, the beating of the shoe. Wonder how many of the gamers in the audience have any appreciation for what that means? (Did anyone watch Jeopardy! tonight? One question saw kids mistaking Reagan for Nixon or JFK. I laughed and then I felt old.)
4) ZOMG A TIE!
5) Aww, poor Lauren got caught in the hug of imprisonment and humilation.
6) Ooooh, surprise pretty pink and orange shirt!
7) Wobblecam, heh.
8) Awesome Masters of the Universe poster!
9) Cute alligator/crocodile thing.
10) Yes, the Loch Ness Monster is indeed amazing.
11) My Escapist Pony?
12) Adorable paper centaur-guy-thing Steve has.
13) And people say my dollar-store-action-figure carnage diorama was weird. I shall now tell them of the alien sodomy diorama.
14) Since I wasn't around for the first few birthdays, more happy birthday wishes!

 

[Nouw]

I noticed the Nerf Guns!

Greg Tito reminds me of Caboose
John Funk. Gotta love the Gundam

Sigh, that'd be an awesome place to be...
Kinda makes the Office life look cool

 

[Team Hollywood]

John's EVE ship is a Megathron, a cool Gallente Battleship

And the funny thing is, I've only flown them on the test server. Wasn't until I hit 50mil SP that I finally hopped in a Dominix. Still a damn fine looking ship, so I decided to have one guarding my desk. Along with the (briefly seen to my right at ~4:17) crazy bird-thing holding one of my grenades; the grenades also appeared in one of our Planetside event PSAs.

That place is a veritable foam armoury, amazed theres not been an invasion looking for weapons of mass distraction.

I will admit, that would be an epic foam and NERF armoury.
We should get the Escapist to have a NERF war on camera!!

Also, if you already didn;t get a cake:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I know its been pointed out several times, but I have to say it. woot navy Megathron!

 

[silentsentinel]

There is a Charizard on the ceiling. I approve of this.

 

[zorrandur]

Ok, first i hardly EVER comment on threads. Second whats a guy gotta have skills in to work in such an awesome place. Third Susan you and Funk are two of my favorite people i have never met. Finally i don't know if its an N.C. thing or not but your offices is full of beautiful people lol. Also i think russ is awesome bc he's like a boss minus the asshole

 

[zorrandur]

hey i'll buy funk a shelf. seriously i will if he might send me something cool like a gundam poster autographed by himself. I love the escapist but he's one of my fav's damned if i know why tho lol
