Overheard: Game Informer Staff Quotables #4
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.

[Tim comments on Meagan's Kratos munny.]
“I hear terrible ideas are afoot back here.”
[Jeff M. referring to a potential sword fight between Tim and Dan.]
“Sometimes a man just has to love a moose.”
[Tim referring to Dan's obsession with the inflatable moose head.]

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.)

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
