This is just too.... funny. Anyone else heard this? I've attached their motivational company anthem from, by the sounds of it, not that long ago.

Pure cheese!

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

"Unreal Tournament, Test Drive, Survivor, Civilization, Superman saves the nation, N-Sync Hotline, Dragonball, Alone in the Dark, and that's not all. Rocks my woooorld.. entertainment. Rocks my woooorld... Infograaammmess."

P.S. - Anyone feel like doing a full translation?

"Infogrames is innovation... the power of imagination. Infogrames is entertainment... that rocks my world."

Singing about videogames and a videogame company is not good.

some companies get the weirdest ideas, one place I worked they decided to ban all talking between staff in the factory to increase production and had all the chargehands and shift managers try to enforce it, that lasted all of 3 days, we all kept walking off into the warehouse for a chat (ha! they forgot that when they announced it), after all, how could we ask each other for help or whatever if we couldn`t talk , production went down..not up, they soon revoked that rule , things like company anthems are just plain lame, like incentive posters and team meetings , purleese!, I went to work for the money, not to admire the pretty posters or have some suit from the office come round every week and tell us how wonderfull the firm is (then they went bust)

Best laugh I've had this week. But I guess they'll be changing the tune soon.

Reminds me of the Australian GDC a few years ago. They had a theme song "The Game Developer". Anybody have that one lying around?
