Feeling frustrated at work? This little flash game lets you be Joe IT, avenger of the oppressed in offices everywhere. Best of all, you can't lose ... unless you actually try this at work.

Yeah, that was amusing, and they certainly put in a good bit of effort.

I'm just saying...you're linking to an ad without saying it's an ad. But it is. It's an ad.

I liked the tribute to Carmaggedon font, if not the gore.

A little goofy but any game that involves a jelly donut bazooka can't be all bad. I was hoping he was gonna blast the wedding pic too though.

That's a pretty ineffective vaporizer gun. After I shoot him he comes back from under the desk.

You can tell they put a lot of work into the thing though. I like the excessive use of buzzwords, especially for the CTO.

That was not fun. At. All.

i think i like the pizza gun the most, but the jelly doughnut launcher is a good one too . . . hmmm . . .

I thought that it was cute. It would have been nice if there were consequences and you could follow up with repeat/different attacks. Maybe run around the office to avoid whoever you just blasted, while getting your job done (ala Pacman). Keep attacking/running away from office people so they dont' have time to screw up their computers or something.

Yeah. Whack your boss is sooooo much better...and more violent.

I cant believe this is in here. Metafilter sure has gone downhill.

The pizza gun probably made it worth it. High on the WTF meter.
