Overheard #12: Editors Say The Darndest Things
For some time I kept a blog on Game Informer online documenting the wild and crazy things my colleagues say on a daily basis. Even though the blog series fell off the radar, I've still been keeping a long running tab of some of the most notable things said around the office. So without further ado, enjoy the latest addition to the Overheard collection.
Dan (to Jeff M): “Do you have any idea how many emails you’re going to get for calling Kerrigan from Starcraft ‘some creepy sex demon’ in this month's GI Spy?”
Adam: “What caption are you talking about?”
Dan: “This one where it says ‘Meagan and a reader stand next to some creepy sex demon at Blizzcon’.”
Meagan (takes off headphones): “Did I just hear ‘Meagan’ and ‘creepy sex demon’ in the same sentence???”
"You really are shooting tacos." [Bryan to Jeff C as he controls a flying taco stand]
“Hey, Ben, you have a huge package downstairs.” [Bryan]
“Can you Mindjack two guys at once?” [Ben Hanson]
“We get drunk. We see what happens. And then I wake up with a fat chick.” [Dan]
Miller: "Are you eating honey out of the bottle?"
Reiner: "I’M EATING HONEY OUT OF THE BOTTLE! Just walking around doing lines of honey."
"That’s where you keep your nipple, huh? Now I know that." [Tim to Miller]
“I just got some balls!” [Annette plays Pokemon]
“It’s like armpit 1.5.” [Ben Reeves]
“You should just pee in your pants. It’s the coolest!” [Jeff M]
"I’m skating my pants off." [Joe]
"That’s something a crazy person does – eats out of a bag of pancakes." [Jeff M]
Tim: "I think it was three packs of gum ago."
Dan: "That’s a weird way of telling time."
“Annette, can I have your socks? Mine stink.” [Ben Hanson during Smashathon]
"It's like single white female up in here -- except Puerto Rican." [Jeff M]
Jeff M: “WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!”
Tim: “I hope your *** ears take off your headphones...uh, what?”
Tim: "You're a ***. People die making salt."
Jeff M: "Were they part slug?"
"If it were Yoda’s torso why would he have his name on it? He’s not 2Pac." [Jeff C]
“That’s my porn laugh.” [Ben Hanson]
“Ben ate a sticker?” [Dan]
“Boobs, are you ready for the future? The future of boobs.” [Joe gets weird emails addressed to "Boobs"]
"I got another boobs email. Boobs, be on the lookout…I always am. [Joe]
“That’s not something people do. Were they imitating a puppy while wearing a weird costume?" [Ben Hanson]
"THAT’S NOT HOW YOU ARMY!" [Tim]
"I had to euthanize the dad from A Christmas Story." [Tim]
"Jack Bauer killed so many white monkeys with a stick." [Dan]
"Do you guys ever take pictures of things in public restrooms?" [Joe]
