SEGA Office Pranks
We work hard here at SEGA, but we also like to have a bit of fun at the office. (That’s our office building in that photo. Before anyone asks, no it’s not abandoned. One of the floors in the building is available for rent.) But for those times when someone goes away on an extended or especially fun vacation and we’re all left here to keep working… well, we like to have more than a bit of fun. Let’s set the scene. It’s Friday afternoon after a long work week. I’m sitting at my desk typing away, when I hear some loud voices behind me. We have a pretty open work environment of half-wall cubicles, and we can be a boisterous bunch, so it’s not all that unusual to hear people talking loudly or laughing about something. But this kept going on. And on. So I went to investigate. Turns out that Jen was going to return from a 2-week vacation on the following Monday. And some people had gotten… restless. You might even say rowdy. And decided to fill her cubicle with crunched up magazine pages. A lot of them. We had lots of fun and laughs in the hour it took us to get it done. How did Jen react? Well, you’ll just have to watch the video. 
I’m not sure any of us are planning an extended vacation any time soon!

If SEGA doesn’t like your magazine, they’ll use it in an office prank.

I have a question about that giant fake paper money note there. Video quality wasn’t focused on it well enough to catch what was on it.
Could you elaborate on what it was?
I’m curious as to weather it’s funny or not. I collect fake money like the recent one of Obama being on the one million dollar bill and on the back it says “hah! fooled you again!”.
Thank you in advance.
Email a copy of the reply if you can please, I don’t have Internet access but once a month.

Naw, it’s not that we have any ill will toward Game Informer. As others have pointed out, we used other magazines, too. We used whatever extra back-issues we had.
And yes, we recycled when we were done.

Patrick — I believe it was a magazine ad for a video game (not a SEGA game). I don’t remember what it was, but perhaps someone else can help you out.

It will be cool if you guys post a video giving us a quick tour around the SEGA building and what type of work people do there for the fans. That will be interesting.

sonicfan — we were thinking the same thing. I can’t make any promises or timeline guarantees, but we agree that it would be cool to do.
