I'm thinking about writing a story on video games in the workplace and would like to hear from people who have had interesting experiences. Has anyone's boss walked in on them during a game?? At companies that are networked, are employees playing multi-player games like "Doom?" What kind of precautions do you have to take to get away with this? Also, if there are any game programmers out there, do you consider this when making your games. I know that some games used to have a "boss key" -- you hit f7 or something and a spread-sheet pops up. Is this still done?? (my game playing days have ended...) Do game companies try and make it easier to play games at work?? Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks, Brad Stone
