For those who have boring office jobs. and does your boss know?

This made me laugh. "Look at him clicking away, hard at work"

No, but I read these forums at work at moments when there's nothing else for me to do. Like right now.

It must be a very boring job if you can play a realtime game at work. Especially if it's not during lunch breaks. My work mates only play little attention requiring turn based games (without any sounds) with their own laptops at work.

I'm astonished at the implication that you do it and succeeded at doing it.

That's a funny question that has (ominous) implications as Raestloz mentions. So you have a job that is more boring than mine? Oh boy! And I was complaining!

I would if I could. my job is boring as hell.

I wish but it's impossible for me to pull it off.

No but I do visit the forums and sometimes watch LP's

I usually just go to the forums when there's absolutely nothing going on.

I swear you are always the first person to post on a new thread or at least back then you were

When I'm home, or when there's a thread that is coincidentally created when I get on at work.

lol

Yeah I browse the forums during the day while at work as well. but to dare play Skyrim?

First off my work PC could never handle my game. Second... I'd get NOTHING done in either real life or the game. And I'd probably get fired.

Hmmm. I work as a programmer and there's always something to do, tho I admit I would rather play a game lol.

Just... not to the point that I'll play something as big as Skyrim.

No, I don't play Skyrim any more.

This. Also, my colleagues would probably love me if I spend my workhours playing a game instead of doing my job. I browse the forums sometimes on my breaks, using my phone, not the job computer. (Actually, the lab and repair departments in the company I work for don't even have internet. They don't need it for work, and apparently there were some who couldn't handle it.)

But well. I've had jobs where I've basically just been sitting watching the clock, so I can understand the temptation if you have such a job. I would settle for a simpler game (and don't use the work PC, rather an iphone game or something) and browsing the forums though. Install and run a game such as Skyrim at work - no way.

No way. Could never do it, nor would I want to.

The VP in my office does sometime look like Alduin though, and is seriously asking for some Fus Ro Dah.

No I can't play at work. In my department it's only me and my supervisor. We each have a cubicle in front of each other. Whenever he walks out the door the first thing I do is rush to my computer and check the forums.

What is this 'work' you speak of? It sounds extremely dull. The only work I know is chopping up wood for the fires and dragon hunting for the Jarl.

If only this were possible...I guess forum browsing will have to suffice. I believe I did hear that they have a PS3 and 360 at our corporate office though....

I was going to leave a post similar to that.

Nope. I have to talk to people. *shudders* I wouldn't play it even if I could, it's too immersive and I'd just get fired for neglecting my duties. To be honest, I hope I never get a job so utterly unengaging that I can play video games at work. But I did browse the forum during my summer internship when they ran out of tasks for me...

Nope, and I doubt many would.

Instead, we just come to the forums when things get slow.

Playing skyrim at work, wow

To have a work computer that can handle skyrim, and for that work to be sedentary enough for you to have time to play skyrim.... WHAT JOB IS THAT I don't know of any jobs that are both slack and equip you with power PCs.

If Skyrim had a "boss button," I'd be tempted.

One of the greatest things ever invented.
