This was completely pointless and a waste of time and that is why it was awesome.
How many Vulcans were there, by the way? Those things are awesome.

Your job is awesome. And yes that had to be the longest, yet most entertaining escort quest ever.
absolutely awesome, we should see more of this its sick 
perhaps regular? im sure everyone including making it would enjoy that.

Ok, a few things that might not have been immediately obvious from the video:
The object of the game was to escort the CEO back to your team's base, but the CEO could only move at a slow walk. (Slowest escort mission EVAR.) Teams rotated bases each round to give everyone a fair shot. If you got hit with a nerf bullet, you were dead until your team's medic ran over and revived you. (The editorial/video team won the best of three rounds, by the way. More equal than otherrrrssssss.)
For the finale, the MVP from each team squared off against each other in a slaughterfest free for all....that took about five seconds once that behemoth of a Nerf gun came out.
Yeah, we pretty much work at the best company ever.

I thought it would have been brilliant if the big guy at the end with the automatic nerf blaster did a TF2 Heavy Weapons Guy 'hahahahaha cry some more' spraying Nerfs around the room!
The dead body bit at the end was hilarious.
Actually, the whole thing was hilarious.
I wanna buy a Nerf gun right now...

More on topic, how awesome is that? The best my old jobs ever did was Ultimate Frisbee competitions!
But Nerf Wars?? I'm truly jealous. I can only assume that the short video does little justice to how fun it actually was. So here is what I'm thinking: Shell out a few hundred dollars, fly me down there, and do it all over again.
Sound like a plan?

The height of summer is upon us, I think this calls for a rematch with super soakers. My personal favourite is the Helix, handles like a water shotgun. To add some visual flair/sense of danger to personal property you could load the water with some dyes. Just don't drink the water.
Given the competitive nature of gamers you haven't brought the entire company together but created 3 tight knit teams that will forever vie to out do one another. Just get them to compete on content and features for the site so they don't end up slitting each other's throats in the night.
