    hahaha, oh dear god...I can see the unsavory implications of this overshadowing any sort of good. "TAKE IT OFF!"

    Welcome back FocusedWolf.

    And maybe a live PostMorterm feed or something one time not an office camera. It would get way too boring especially having to be position so you can't see any real work going on.

    Would u really want to have a webcam where u can see the devs pick their noses and scratch their asses? We should not sully their image as gods.

    Thx lol

    The idea came as a result of watching those twitter feeds. The devs always say how much work it is to produce those blog posts... maybe this idea would allow them more time to work while still proving to the world that they're alive... *cough* that ns2 is not a scam like one person said during a game of co_blackmesa *cough* :P

    I'm trying to think of the 0.1% of time it will be fun to watch...as far as were concerned it looks exactly the same when their just checking their email as when their putting the fade in the game, its just a guy at a computer :P I guess the 0.1% excitement is the arse scratching D:

    1)Please No! Following NS2 already takes too much of my time. Last thing I need is a 24/7 live feed cam.

    2) ffs give the guys some space!

    3) lol at NS2 being a scam...

    timelapse video would be awesome

    also aim like 1 or 2 web cams so that you can see the monitors - so occasionally you would see the fade model go into the game - and we would be like WOOHOO!

    and it would save them from having to do up blogs


    although i can't imagine anyone would want to work under constant survellance

    It'd be so scary. They wouldn't even dare open their facebook or have a game of freecell. And you'd know all their passwords.

    Having a webcam 24/7 I'm not so sure about, but maybe they can have a webcam to show us the new office?

    I have to say no to the 24/7 webcam.

    I mean they can't even like stretch their arms without someone making thread saying: OMG did you see that?
    (Or at least a post at a thread)

    My point is that let them be, they know what they are doing.
    No one needs to watch over them to make sure they are working.

    Just been looking at this little article on 1up.com <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3174065" target="_blank">http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3174065</a> from which I played this online game here (stupidly fun) <a href="http://blurst.com/minotaur-china-shop/" target="_blank">http://blurst.com/minotaur-china-shop/</a>.

    This brings me to this gem <a href="http://blurst.com/blog/live-webcam-chat/" target="_blank">http://blurst.com/blog/live-webcam-chat/</a>, apparently the developers here joked about having an office webcam and someone thought it be funny to make it come true. They load up a new feed every friday, maybe all game developers should have mandatory office cams...

    Alright yeh this is a little weird...

    Perhaps multiple cameras can fix that problem :P

    Or ya... 99% of their room isn't as interesting as the few square feet of monitors :P
