So I know we all get bored at work every so often and for those of us lucky enough to be in front of a computer with an internet connection we have some options.
So what games do you guys play when you're supposed to be working?
Comments
lol, besides Minesweeper / Solitare and the pre-installed Windows stuff.
"All expectation leads to suffering" Buhhda
Psst...once upon a time I coded a game while at work (for somebody else). Shhhh.
But no, long since ceased such shenanigans. Bad economy for a job hunt.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
used to play tetris and such long ago, more when got free time.
sometime played runescape as it browser game (crafted semi afk by in-out runs LOL)
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
I don't play games at work, and it's not just because I couldn't even if I wanted. They have our computers and network pretty well locked down.
However, the last time I played a video game at work it was Menzoberranzan.
EDIT: Spelling
I guess it really depends on your job. Some of us probably do a little more mindelss things that others :P
I'm guessing your job envolves customers? Mine is basically project based so I work in "me time" into project completion estimates
Why are you even playing games at work? Reason its called work...
I can see people saying they do it during break or w/e but that isnt work that be called a break.
A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing; and if you love nothing, what joy is there in your life?
Life is too short to give your job 100%.
On the other hand if you love what you do , you got a point.
Ha! Nice.
One of my first jobs was a temp for about a year at a company that was in the process of being bought out by GE. After I got comfortable with my duties I was able to complete most of what I had to do in the first couple of hours. So I just ended up playing the earlier final fantasies on an emulator for the rest of the day for about ten months. Kind of miss that job. Actually towards the end my super just told me I could leave if I wanted to after a half day and he would just sign my time cards as if I was there for forty/week.
NEW IDEAS that can refresh the STALE state of MMORPGs
Understandable. Some of us have cooshier jobs than others for sure.
Maybe try working for the state? lol
as i am
1. a cook and on feet all day and have no access to computer and
2. i was taught that when your being paid you should be earning that pay.
i do not play games at work
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to
Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.
Solitaire
Spider Solitaire
some Chess
Forum trolling....bout it really
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Last place I used to work I know of at least 15 folks who were fired for playing games, and don't think that compaines dont check that stuff. It is easy to track folks using bandwith. I seen people play wow, and eq2 at work. mostly folks were playing minsweeper and solitare. I seen folks fired for even surfing forums at work.
When we rolled out new desktops to folks desk we put in an exe that looked like minesweeper and solitare and if somebody used the exe it would lock their desktop out, and notify internet security.
We all had to sign an internet complaint document, there were no second warnings. We were in fact at work given bonus pay if we spotted somebody doing something like that and turned them in.
In this day and time playing at work for most companies like the largest inusurance company in the us, they take a dim view of folks playing on their pc's and not working.
Where I work at now we have to sign an internet complaince document. Things are so strict we can't even use iheart readio apps. Like I said they keep a tight leash on bandwith.
You'd probably like this game then as it has Battle Allocation meaning you have a limited amount of fights / hour. So you end up fighting in quick spurts like you say.
Then you can get back to work (or back to the forums)
Games some people at my work play all day long:
1. Lie and cheat to get promoted
2. Blame others for own failures
3. Pretent to work while surfing 7 hours a day (1 hour is lunch break)
4. Write emails to other who ask you to do something explaning how you are not responsible even though you are.
I wish my company would allow computer games to be played, at least those make me happy.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
lol, I cant count how many times I've walked by some peoples desk and they quickly minimize facebook. Even my boss.
ill have to see if it will work on my phone:P
