The lights are on
The Overheard blog captures some of the hilarious things heard around the Game Informer office. In case you missed the first post in the Overheard series, click here to read some of the funny (and oftentimes nonsensical) things said by the editors. Now that you're all caught up, I present the second batch of Game Informer quotables.
“No one can call trunk. We’re not doing this.”
[Editors wanted to cram into Miller's car after lunch. Some called trunk. He didn't agree.]“I just saw that duck poop. It was serendipitous.”[Apparently Ben saw a duck poop outside.]Annette: “What the hell is this?”Dan: “It’s Tatsunokuburutakaraokeseppuku vs. Capcom: General Tso’s Edition. I think that’s what it’s called.”
[Annette didn't realize Dan was playing Tatsunoku vs. Capcom. This was his response.]
“I have to take Phil Helm. Yes, Phil Helm. He’s a British guy that lives in my basement. With his cat… Will Helm.”[Ben meant to say he was taking Phil home. It somehow spiraled into this.]“Wait, your dad’s the banana right?”[Tim asks Meagan a serious question.]Meagan: “Why do I have to load the shotgun before I read the diary?”Tim: “Because that’s how you do it in real life.”
[Meagan asks Tim a serious question during Resident Evil weekend.]“Are you going to drown, er, opposite of drown the sharks by draining the water?”[Meagan asks another serious question during Resident Evil weekend.]“It looks like a bullet with antlers.”[Annette talking about an inflatable moose head that showed up in the office.]“I just want something that puts water on my clothes and spins it.”[Meagan lamenting over her broken washing machine.]“You can follow the train, but that would end in sadness for all of us.”
[Tim was driving. Miller interjects.]"Tell me that's not the *** Kremlin!"[Dan standing in the Pacific Ocean at night trying to convince himself he can see Russia across the water.]“Does he really have a pierced goatee? Is that what’s going on?”[Jeff Cork looking at a villain from Batman.]“Who wants some blood?”[Ben offering us packets of blood energy potion.]
"No one can call trunk"... can't remember how many times that was the only option for me.
i am very sorry about your broken washing machine, Meagan. But there is always the " water hose and tying the laundry to back of car" option.
loved it! "It was serendipitous" "no one can call trunk" great series!
I find the thing about being able to see Russia hilarious, too bad less than 10% of this site's users know what, or even where, the Kremlin is.
I've had to take the trunk before... Usually people didn't want the trunk.
Keep em comin. Good laughs
“Are you going to drown, er, opposite of drown the sharks by draining the water?”
Just hilarious.
I once got handcuffed for "second degree assault with a honey bun" (full story if you really want it) and I asked the cop if I could ride in the trunk. He asked me why and I said "that's where you keep the shotgun..."
Phil Helm is a jerk.
I didn't know they moved the Kremlin onto a boat. I guess they figured the cold war wasn't working and wanted to take it strait to our shores.
Those russian's are sneaky...lol
Sounds like a lively place! Love out-of-context quotes! :D
u guys r funny man.
there's potential for a sitcom here. i'm sure of it.
Wow. I laughed, I cried...I forgot what I was talking about. Great job!
@ goatr - Wouldn't a show about a videogame magazine be awesome? It would be like the gamer's version of The Office.
I demand pictures of the inflatable moose head.
@mrip92
Now that would be hilarious.
This was the first time I've actually "lol"d. Nice work!
