what net work games do you play at work?

Bronco

Hey all

Just wondering,what it is you fellows play during your lunchbreaks/afterhours?

We are on abit of a drive here at the office to bond more,go out once aweek to the pub at lunchtime and get some LANage going. only prob is we arn't strictly a games company and theres only 4 or 5 gamers here,anyway just another idea.

Also I presume most of your office run quite good machines where as here the machines are pretty old, DX5 old and so can you advise on some good old school games to play over our network during lunch .

Cheers

John

MoP

On lunch break, yeah, or if it's the actual in-progress product being tested.

We use to play Tribes at my old job. Everyone in the lab would fire it up the first minute Lunch started, then we would play until the last minute of lunch. We actually started by playing Doom, then I brought in Tribes and we switched to it...

BIOS

quake 4 and FEAR are the after hours favorites here. there's also a faction of nintendo DS bomberman players.

adam

Battlefield: 2, Counter-strike, Ragdoll Kung-fu, Serious Sam 2... either during lunch or after 5PM.

While I don't have a job and as such can't play games during lunchbreak, Arena Wars is pretty fun. Matches are usually pretty short so it should fit into lunchbreaks. Well, unless you're working for the army, 15 minutes might be a bit too short.

i play gunbound on my lunch sometimes, but not on work systems.

AstroZombie

You could also try some Starcraft. Still a fun game and will definitely run on your older machines.

Tribes is a good suggestion too and I believe it is free these days.

Joao Sapiro

agreed with astro zombie !

i usually played "puzzle pirates" a fun addictive game , loads of stuff to do , really good .

nitzmoff

Rock on Johny! I'm working on Puzzle Pirates and the rest of the games we Ringers are cooking up at the moment.

Props to you for playing!

Um.... a lot of folks here actually make games at work. Would it not be a bit odd If we couldn't at least *play* them?

swampbug

BF2 at lunch nearly everyday and after work some days.

Weiser_Cain

I sneak into the janitor closet and huff cleaning fluid.

Malekyth

I sneak into the janitor's closet and pee in bottles of cleaning fluid. Sorry man.

At Ion Storm, we played Unreal Tournament after work. At Legend we played UT and then UT2k3 after work. At Epic we played ... UT2k3 and UC2 and whatever else happened to be on the menu.

Here, we don't play a goddamn thing. Hrmph.

But between getting home and getting sucked into WoW or Maya or French, I play UT2k4. Goddamn right I do. Unreal fo' life.
