I’m not sure how I feel about this, for one thing, I LOVE anything that has to do with the office, but I’m not sure if a video game makes much sense…

This seems silly, but if it’s like Diner Dash, I’ll play it for days at a time, Office-related or not.

But the inclusion of Jim will make the time spent much better =)

its not to difficult for me to understand why they would make an Office video game

I once wore my Dwight Schrute tee to a gaming trade show, and I got a bunch of compliments. allot of nerds love the office and allot of nerds play video games. put the two together and it makes sense

I can’t figure out how this is a good idea. Do they figure that because The Office has such a strong online following that we would want to play a game about it? This isn’t The Simpson’s. It just smells like overmarketing to me… And I’m not usually a negative person. As much as I celebrate the success of The Office… Hmmm. I just don’t know what to say.

I’m so excited about the potential of this game
I’m hoping the game will let players prank Dwight, sell paper, flirt with Pam..
I would also want to visit Schrute Farm

They should just make an Office expansion pak for the sims or something with an office building you can put in your town and all of the characters that you can play

Twisted Sister. That explains why I didn’t know who Dee Snyder was. ;)

Thanks Elisabeth and UBHO!

Dee Snyder is in the band (from the 80′s) called Twisted Sister. He’s…well, he’s got his own style! He wears tons of crazy makeup and has A LOT of blond hair. I’d show you a pic, but I don’t know how…
Anyway, it’s not a good thing that Angela looks like him, for sure! Haha.

I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “milking the cash cow dry.”

And they are. Bobbleheads of ALL the characters! Pam/Jim perfume! Lunchboxes! DUNDER MIFFLINITES SING! DUNDER MIFFLINITES SING CHRISTMAS SONGS!

Scranton Boogie…YEAH!

And Dee Snyder was the lead singer of Twisted Sister, whose hit song was “We’re Not Going to Take It,” which come to think of it, is my approach to the video game.

Who is Dee Snyder?

Good grief. Just because something will sell does not make it a good idea. Can you imagine the BBC version cashing in on a video game?! I don’t know why anyone would think this is a good idea. And, Mose’s Awesome Beard (#32) – that’s hilarious about Angela looking like Dee Syder! Ha!

Alright. I know I had some problems with this game idea before, but having looked at the site Jen posted, I am infinitely more uncomfortable about the whole concept…
Angela really really looks like Dee Snyder. That is just unacceptable.

Cousin Mose– That is the funniest thing I’ve heard all morning! And I concur.

Maybe it will feature some Office Olympics! I want to see Toby and Oscar doing a coffee race and Phyllis winning at Flonkerton!
