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.
For those of you pulling the "Paramore has no talent" card: Listen to a full Paramore album, then listen to a full Nickelback album, a full Three Days Grace album, a full Disturbed album... Paramore isn't the hottest shit on the planet, no, but they aren't a strum-strum, chugga-chugga band. Of course, most of you will never realize this because you'll never give it a chance.
OH WOW- I'm a huge fan of paramore and this was amazing! Can I have the guy in the white please? talk about a cutie! They did a great job! Wouldn't mind working there either lol!
Seriously who gives a crap whether you like Paramore or not, this wasn't Paramore, it was 5 dudes enjoying their jobs. They did well, and looked ot have fun doing it. This video was cool, how many of you can say that your jobs are this fun.

I think stuff like this is really lame. Could someone enlighten me as to why this isn't worthless, without using any form of internet meme, the words awesome, sweet, and without making claims based on a generalization.
Don't mind me, I couldn't hold myself back any longer.
