The lights are on
The Overheard blog is back for another batch of Game Informer quotables. Listen closely around the halls of the GI office and you'll hear the staff say some unusual and oftentimes hilarious things, which we have posted here for your amusement. Here is Overheard #1, #2 and #3 in case you've missed them. Caught up? Good. Carry on.

Phil: "There's an outbreak of Korean kids named Jim."Miller: "Jem?"Phil: "No, 'Jim.'"Miller: Oh, I thought you said 'Jem' as in 'truly, truly, truly outrageous.'" (watch theme song here for Jem reference.)

“People who have sex in animal costumes are going to like Avatar.”
[Helgeson on Avatar.]
“They’re like diapers for VHS tapes.”
[Nick comments on those soft, white Disney VHS cases that creaked when you opened them.]
That about wraps it up for this week. If you have any funny quotes from your place of employment feel free to share them in the comments section below.
those are priceless.
I LOVED white VHS cases from Disney. They should totally make DVDs in those. What a fantabulous waste of money that would be.
i hated those white vhs cases..no matter how well of a condition you kept the movie in they always got crinkled and squished up and that annoyed the hell out of me..
I take it Matt doesn't like Avatar? X-D
Many hours have been wasted in front of that pipe screen saver.
Apparently, I'm going to like Avatar.
This wasn't as great as the other ones but the pipe thing was pretty great.
I got your back Nick! I was raised by Godzilla's movies as a kid. Those are some the earliest movies I remember seeing as a kid! I just think that when you are a kid you shouldn't try to set things on fire with your breath while your back was glowing and dont fight any primates because we wont know who wins.
I did indeed stare at that pipes screen saver too. God that was amazing.
I love Dan's Schwarzenegger picture.
The best part of those white Disney VHS containers were the fact you could chuck them around the house and they just carried so well.
Hah, least classy moment, eh? Now I'm all curious.
The Avatar quote was pretty hilarious.
And I agree with anyone that says anything about those VHS cases. God were those loud and stupid.
i have a good quote for you guys...i was at work and i told my boss who was putting up the christmas decorations that i did not see any hanukah decorations and one of the girls that works with me walked up to me and no joke said "Oh, are you Hanukan?" i very politely told her that was not a real word and then laughed for about an hour
Indeed the Flower is a Pipe Screen saver with the addition of your movement.
The bigger question is if you like Avatar does that mean you will like sex in animal suites, think about that for a minute. Would you?
I guess that means I won't like Avatar...? LOL.
As for the Disney VHS cases, oh god I loved playing with those things. Drove my mother crazy doing it too, because they are loud and obnoxious. Perfect toy for kids.
All of these quotes are pure gold, though. Being raised by Godzilla would have been awesome.
Nice. Another funny blog Annette. Also, I'm amazed that I'm the only one who asked this, but what is the game that Dan is playing with the orange juice?
I love the subtlety of Game Informer. And the strangeness.
Just a guess here, but I'm guessing the preview build of the certain game will be Zone of the Enders 3. I can't think of any other game that would include something as mundane as orange juice. It would explain the mysteriousness, and the fact that in the most recent magazine, Kojima promised a sequel.
It's teh pipes!
Those cases did feel exactly like diapers.
