Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS

Added by Brad Shoemaker on Aug. 18, 2009

While I was in the Dallas area for QuakeCon last week, I was lucky enough to swing by the Gearbox offices in their lofty place atop a Plano highrise. Primarily, I was there to see Borderlands, which is looking great but which I'm otherwise bound not to talk about for a couple of weeks here.

Anyway, since Jeff just spoke to the company's president Randy Pitchford on that neat-looking game in the recent past, I figured I'd use my interview time to investigate another subject I'd heard tales about: the nostalgic excellence of Pitchford's office. Embark on a little video tour, won't you?
 
 
   
 
Note: Any game developers out there who think they have a cooler office, I'd love to see pictures!

I think that Kotaku just ran a few stories about developer's desks, Tim Schafer included, but that was definitely boss.

I'd post pics of my shitty desk from inside the "vault" aka james cameron's Avatar at Ubisoft Montreal, but as our nickname to the production floor indicates, it's a very secret place :/ (blame FOX).
