Since only a fraction of Joystiq is headquartered out of Boston, MA we unfortunately aren't eligible to be honored with "Top Places to Work" awards like Beatles: Rock Band developers Harmonix, nonetheless host a company-wide singing contest. If we could though, we'd like to think our singing chops would at least match the five gentlemen (four from audio and one engineer) found singing Paramore's "That's What You Get" after the break.
Winning first "among mid-size companies" and third overall in The Boston Globe's "Top Places to Work" survey, the 320 employee-strong music/rhythm-game studio was praised for its studio-wide a cappella singing competition. "I would do a lot to stay here," says senior writer Helen McWilliams. "It's really hard to imagine going from this company to any other company." That whole "making successful games" thing probably doesn't hurt either.
"Increasing the selection of music to pander to a wider variety of musical tastes is an unforgivable sin. "
Are you serious? How does variety hurt a game like this, exactly? By opening it up to more success to new demographics? By letting people play the songs they want? Stop being a pompous douchebag.
"Stalker"? So we're not entitled to view other Joystiq profiles without being called out now? Hell, if someone doesn't want their profile to be glanced at, there's the option to hide it.
Now, if someone googles your Joystiq name and starts harassing you at other forums, you may have a case then.
