Game Informer Offices: The Family Tour

My family came to visit the new baby (and my wife and I) during the Thanksgiving holiday, but only under the condition that I show them where I work. So, late Friday night, while everyone was else was enjoying time off from the office, I snuck my whole family in to take a look. My brother, freelance photographer extraordinaire, takes pictures of everything everywhere he goes, and the Game Informer offices were no exception.

Up above you can see where we record the Game Informer Show podcast, Replays, and Super Replays. That's where it all happens. Below you can see that we have a spiral staircase. This is what it looks like from up top.

This is what it looks like from below.

Matt Miller's desk below is probably second only to Dan Ryckert's as far as amount of stuff goes.

This is the vault where we keep all of the video games from all of history.

    The Skyrim statue reminds me of one of those sentinels that come to life if you get to close. Great trap for intruders coming up the stairs.

    I always love the tour pics/vids of different workplaces in the game industry.  It seems they always have the coolest setup.  Thanks for posting this Kyle!  If i can ever finish my studies and switch jobs i plan on a office, or at the very least a desk like those.

    Loving that spiral staircase! And now I can see why people complain about the replay room being so hot; there's barely any space in that cramped box you call a room! Seriously, my bedroom is much larger than that! Heck, even our extra room up stairs has more space. And the vault, my god, I never would of thought of a place with over 11,000 games; that's truly astonishing. Really is.

    I thought about applying to GameInformer someday, so I'll try and write on your website to get me started! I'm getting on writing my own reviews; I have some blog ideas for a later date, etc. Who knows? Maybe someday I will join the staff. Although, since people are getting laid-off it has been a little worrisome for me. I do need a job however... But you know, GameInformer's staff won't be around forever... And people will eventually have to take their place. But hey, lets not think about that. Not for a loooong time.

    This team of journalists bring a smile to my face, really, replay is one of my favorite 'activities'. I always look forward to Saturday to listen and watch what you guys have to say. I guess you could say it's like my Saturday morning cartoon.

    OKAY, time to end this rant. Anyway, I wish I was there, maybe someday. =)

    And one last thing, I hope you'll enjoy your stay with GameInformer.

    What a great place to work.  In addition, your sister is really pretty.

    Nice to see some pictures of the office, I've caught glimpses in various videos and snippets but it's always cool to see a more overall picture.

    You work in a fantastic place with great people, and I wish you and your family all the best.

    Also that's probably one of the most arty pictures of a spiral staircase I've seen.
