The Escapist Presents: Nerf Wars: The Battle for Themis

[Danny Ocean]

More equal than otherrrrssssss.

Singsong voice?
Or Smeagol voice? (my precioussssss)

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?

...

A Tea can dream...

I think a Danny-Tea combo would be about five times better.

 

[The Shade]

Well...that was special.

I would have been yelling a lot more TF2 references though. And would have worn the nerf katana on my back, Halo-style.

Still, I am envious. Except for whoever tore their pants. That's totally pants. (*fail*)

 

[j0z]

Wow, can I have a job?
Loved the Heavy thing at the end, and the body outline.

Frankly, I think the staff and a bunch of community members would be a lot of fun.

Staff Vs. Community! Yes! Brilliant! This must be done! By the power of greyskull!

If not in real life, then at least in an MMOFPS or something!

 

[Baby Tea]

Something obscure or old, just to make it more hilarious!
Like a Doom 1 deathmatch!
Or Descent Coop Speed Runs!

Oh my, how crazy awesome and retro would that be?
Really, I just want a reason to play Descent again.

I'm just looking for a reason to play BattleField 2 again. Sigh.

Well they did kinda do that a few months back with Planetside and while I didn't get to compete, it looked pretty damm fun, especially since BoingBoing and RockPaperShotgun (the other sites we competed against) caved easily under the combined might of the Escapist, and then blamed it on the game being suxorz. Hopefully, the staff has an TF2 Team left over from the tournament so you can play against them anyways.

 

[Eric the Orange]

Anyone else think that Jeff looked like a heavy?

Spoiler: Click me!

He even had the nerf minigun! And a bandoleer!

Jeff always makes me think of Vince Vaughn personally.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

I was expecting a Kaboom at the end, or a "My Fists are made of Steel!"
But that explains why the 4 year aniversery issue seemed more revered, more.........holey.

 

[TMAN10112]

That was simply awsome.

Plus the fact that the song "Holy Diver" by Dio was used in the video, which automatically makes it twice as awsome.

 

[Nathan Meunier]

Aw man. Awesome. Why am I remote freelancer again?

 

[CoverYourHead]

Well now I need to buy a ton of nerf guns and do this with my friends... but first I need to get friends *sniff*

You guys have the best office evar.

 

[guardian001]

Whoever brought in the vulcan (minigun) is fucking awesome. More companies need to do cool stuff like this.

 

[RagnorakTres]

OK, this is totally happening (again) the next time I have a bunch of friends in the same place. I wonder how much a collection like that would cost...probably in the thousands of dollars. Whatever, it'd be worth it!

Oh, and I would have pwned (yes, it deserves the p) at that. My friends call me Deadeye McInvisible when I've got the revolver and pump-action.

 

[vid20]

My gosh that was awesome....

Soo jealouse right now.

 

[Nerdfury]

Thankyou for putting the Nerf CEO's kids through college!

I am incredibly jealous of your workplace!

 

[Ophiuchus]

You guys are at the very forefront in the field of dicking around. One might even call you pioneers. For this, you should be highly commended.

So, got any jobs going? I'll make the coffee or something, y'won't even have to pay me...

 

[Sevre]

You guys have the greatest job ever, I'm so jealous.
