If you haven't noticed, ze c[_] has made a mighty return to the battlefied! Team Fortress 2 has been released into beta and almost all of the guys from Office Space have invaded with great abandon. You can finally find both little core groups of Office Space, the UT guys and the other guys :p, playing alongside each other in a spaztastic ritual of blowing stuff up! If you're playing, feel free to add us to your friends list. You can find all of our info on our Steam Group page at http://steamcommunity.com/groups/OS!

Lets give a quick rundown of what class everyone is playing. Hellfox, as always, is all over the place but we seem to find him playing Med and Engi more than anything. Cracker is almost full time medic, along with Recon who is surprisingly not falling completely in love with the pyro. Jackal is enjoying the scout a lot while Robb can be found laying explosives as a demoman. Abi is giggling like a little school girl while playing as Heavy Weapons Guy. Eklipse likes the engineer. KillerMik3 can't get the beta to work past 2 minutes, so he's back to dominating Peggle with reckless abandon. Jamandy is lame and still plays Hello Kitty Island Adventure, awesomeo!

In other news, Cracker is getting married! That's right, Cracker is getting married. He broke the news to her over the weekend. Cracker is looking forward to marrying a vet since he's constantly having problems with all of those gerbils for some reason. Dante is offering to let XNO play some quality death metal at the reception, but Cracker is only looking for some quality nerd core rap. All of us wish Cracker the best of luck with everything! We wish the bride to be, even more luck, she's going to need it.

It's Groundhog's Day today, but the only thing that would let you know would be Brett Farve coming out and saying that he would not be retiring, again. But how about those mighty Chicago Bears! Facing off vs de dolts in the Super Bowl, it's sure to be a rock 'em sock 'em game. Bear down!

If you're reading this, then you're no doubt interested in what's going on with the guys from Office Space. Well, we're still going strong, waiting on Team Fortress 2. It was suppose to be out by now, but got pushed back along with the release of Episode 2 for Half-Life 2. To fill the void we've picked the very familar, but completely different RTS, Company of Heroes! Along with our CoH ringleader Hellfox, you can find Jackle, Eklipse, Cracker, HandsomeRobb and myself playing it over Hamachi a lot. Once we get the hang of it internally vs each other and bots, we play on trying Relic Online and maybe even CAL 2v2. Feel free to drop by #initech on gamesurge, or hitting me up on xfire (nick: Wippuh1013) for all the info to our ventrilo server and Hamachi server.

Others of the OS persuasion can still be found wondering around on various WoW servers. However KITH has had to put down the +5 staff of dorkdom due to excessive addiction. We're all working with him to fight his desire to completely suck and see signifigant progress since he left WoW behind. Way to go KITH, keep working hard! Did we mention that KITH is engaged? We can assure you that letters have been sent off to his unlucky fiance to warn her.

Ok dokey, it's time to go but be sure to keep tuning in as we move onwards with Office Space!

It has been well over a year since we last updated the site. Simply unexcusable I know, but the last year has been a busy one for Office Space. While there hasn't been a lot of action on the RtCW front (look for some OS members hitting the cardboard in TWL Season 12 with Breakdancers From Utopia), there has been some news going on behind the scenes. However, we're tired of focusing on the present, lets look into the future and see what will become of your favorite c[_] ragers. Now, journey with us as we look into our crystal stapler and see what will be going on in 5 years...

Abi Normal - Poor Abi, still playing WoW and fussing a storm up about Windows. To show even more support of his beloved open source OS's, he only speaks in binary. Nerd.

Landshark - While the poker playing Shark has calmed down lately, we see a new addiction in the future. Returning with a vengeance, he leads coaches the US World Cup team to the championship in 2010! Chants are heard in the stands of 'knock, knock, candygram!'

Kith - Still playing WoW, has entire server dedicated to nothing but his level 60 characters. Cries himself to sleep knowing that he has maxed out his nerd potential.

Recon Para - Michigan hires Charlie Weis to coach every sport, even club level Risk, and promptly beats OSU 5 years straight. Recon is last seen in Auburn, wearing Orange and Blue and preaching the evils of Alabama and Ghost Soldiers.

Skynx - Now a top level corporate lawyer, Skynx defends all the evils of our society. Pantless.

Orbyte - Finally making it all the way to Charlotte he decides that the low ping life is the one for him. Winning all 4 CPL's that year in Neopets, he retires to an island where he has brought all of his favorite drama stars to perform for him.

Jamandy - Sucks. Finally figures out what an html tag is but is scared to try MS Paint as the learning curve is too steep. Does all of his graphic design in Word. Word!

Doppy - Doppy and his wife just had their first child! Now he's got 6! We're not sure what's going on but there seems to be a lot of gun stockpiling and cans of spam in the background. Family militia is heard a lot. Looks like Dopp can move to Pennsylvania, but he can't get rid of the 'Bama in him.

Hellfox - Along with Master Computer, Jackle and all of that part of OS (they're weird), he has taken over Epic and is making all the new Unreal Tournament games. The nerds of nerds from WoW take note as UT now looks to be the nerdiest thing out there.

LTP - Living with his sugardaddy, Skynx, LTP resides in the penthouse of whatever tower Skynx has bought. Routinely beats Skynx because "it's fun". Notorious as a bad boy, he has replaced Paris Hilton and be found found beating papparazzi in the wee hours of the morning. Fear of a leaked sex tape loom.

Dante - Regretting the evils of his ways, he's joined the seminary and is on his way to becoming a priest! He's also grown an afro and follows Widespread Panic religiously, always looking for that uber heady jam that will fill his soul with good vibes.

0ne - Upset with Big Ben's actions, the Steelers fire Cohwer and hire 0ne as their head coach. Using years of knowledge from his early days playing 80's handheld video game football, he installs a huge shakeable field in Pittsburgh and dominates for decades.

Tr3y - Landing a scholarship for Tennis out of highschool (congrats nerd), Tr3y follows his heros. For one, he starts taking HGH and becomes a monster on the court. The other, Rafael Nadal. Refuses to wear any sort of pants other than his white capris he cannot muster any sort of social life. Resorts to text messaging Orby about Neopets a lot.

KillerMik3 - Also landing a scholarship out of highschool (congrats nerd), Mik3 walks on to Indiana trying to be a kicker (true story). Scoring all 12 of IU's points in 2006, he promptly leaves school early to enter the NFL draft. The first overall pick to the Mexico City Burritos, he leads them to the Super Bowl vs Pittsburgh every year.

B3e - Finally finishing up that top secret report about OS to turn into his head mentor, CodeWarrior. Their plans are coming together quite nicely until Code gets his lunch money stolen by Jamandy and B3e's plans are stolen when Kith swipes his super sweet trapper keeper yo!

Spitfire - After getting to ride his dad's Harley this summer, Spitfire is on a nationwide motorcycle rampage of robbing dollar stores. We can't figure it out either.

Cracker - Cracker is 4 years into his top secret NASA training to be a flight controller (true too!). His dream is only 6 years away as he can finally launch missiles at Auburn, Tuscaloosa, Nashville, Starkville, Gainsville and all those other nasty SEC schools that keep beating up his beloved LSU tighers (also true!).

Wippuh - Easy...

Hrrmm... what to say, what to say. Expect some big things to happen around here soon as Cracker has volunteered his time to start looking after the website! That means the rosters will hopefully finally be finished and the stylesheet fixed. Whew. Uh oh, what's that? Cracker turns twenty one soon. That's not good. Good thing he lives in Baton Rouge, so we can't expect him to get into too much trouble. Maybe he'll eat his straw hat and wrestle some gators like it was just any other night of the week.

On other fronts, we'd like to welcome Megs and Spitfire to our CS:S team. Having difficulties fielding five consistantly (thanks a lot Melissa :p), these two fine folks have really solidified our roster and we're finally able to get together on the server to get some practice in. Do we need it? You betcha!

Speaking of the server, Texas Swingline (70.84.173.10:27015) is happening! Thanks to some careful monitoring by Abi we've beefed our server up to 100 tickrate. That's very nice, but we've also updated our manimod and joined steambans. That means that we've got some quality anti-cheat measures beefing themselves up to help VAC when it officially arrives. If you're interested in how we did all of that, be sure to check out the Texas Swingline thread in the forums.

The UT2k4 guys have gone off and started playing Guild Wars. Hellfox has informed everyone that there's now an official office building somewhere in that game that is being patrolled by the Robb, MC, Eclipse, Jackle and HF around the clock. I'm sure they've figured out every way possible, but the normal one, to do stuff in that game.

Finally, it took two and a half years, but Office Space finally did it. We finally notched our one hundreth win! Trey, Spitfire and Hellfox downed Suckapunch on the 3v3 Pistols ladder for this monumental win. We've almost played forty matches in CS:S while only being active in it for four months!

Two months since the last update and a lot has happened around the office. The most notable is that Initech Corporation is fully emmersed in Counter-Strike Source. There's the 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 ladders in TWL and Cal-Open too! ET and RtCW have been dropped like Orby was so many times as a child, and Source is the name of the game!

We'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to join our CS:S division. We're currently looking for 2 or 3 guys who are very dedicated to the game. We're playing a lot, but we need an extra starter or two to really knock that new car smell that is holding us back on some maps. Some intense scrimming is our solution, and that is where you hopefully come in. Check out this thread in our forums if you're interested. Penguins need not apply.

Also, while you're out and about in CS:S land, be sure to check out our server! That's right, we've brought c[_]`Texas Swingline with us to Sourceland! The ip is 70.84.173.10:27015. If you have any questions, you can post in the official CS:S Texas Swingline thread or contact me through Xfire at Wippuh1013.

We're sad to see RtCW go away, but we're excited about Source. Also, be warned, when RtCW2 shows back up, we're going to be there! Firm commitments have already been made by guys like Abi-Normal and Landshark. Fear the fully reunited OS back in RtCW. Lets just pray that Splooge Damage doesn't make it ET2 :o

What else, what else? Dante and I have been invited to work with thebestscenario.com. If any of you out there are interested in case mods, you need to check this site out. It's got some simply incredible stuff. Keep an eye out for some reviews heading your way soon from yours truly and Dante. Since Dante's a n00b, he's going to start off with some slow stuff, like himself! lololownedlolol! I can already see it, "smells funny, poorly made and constantly living in fear of getting beaten like a chump by Wippuh!" Skippy!

Oh yeah, sign up for Qcon came and went. Representin' OS, along with other ventures, will be myself, along with Doppy (ET for Amish), Dante (TBCS.com), Jamandy (sucks) and possibly Kith (hightop Reeboks)! There's also rumors that Trey and Mike might attend if properly motivated.

Finally, on the way out, lets congratulate KillerMik3! Mike is now a two sport star! Deon and Bo don't have jack squat on our pr0gamer/baseball phenom! Locking down the hotcorner (that's 3rd base for you UnAmerican Communist Pigs out there) for his varsity baseball team, Mike served notice by jacking the long ball up in a recent game. That's right, Mike hit a homerun in his last game! We'd like to report more incidents like this, and we will by saying that once again KITH struck out with his girlfriend last night. The Braves are currently looking to sign KITH as he will fit in perfectly with their offense. Hahah, Braves suck!

Oh yeah, I promise to fix the style sheet shortly.

Wow, wow, wow. There's a lot of news to report on. Looks like a lot of people have been slacking on bugging the ol' Wippy about updating the site ;) Lets just get down to the nitty gritty and talk about all the pr0gaming that is going on in these parts!

In perhaps our most exclusive progaming move, Jamandy switched his nick to fiXer and started playing Painkiller in CAL. The admins took instance notice of his l33tness and served him a fresh nup to beat up on week 1 of the 1 vs 1 season. Jamikaze took it to this kid named Daler (never heard of him either) with extreme ferocity. We were amazed that Jam errr.. LiXer even took the time to bother with such a waste of time. Kith even went as far to say that mixer wouldn't even kill Daler out of sheer pity. However siXer prevailed. Lets look at some of the carnage that was left over...

It happens to the best of us. However, Hellfox is not the best of us, he's a unique little cookie. Our commander in charge of left field tangents, Hellfox has been ragin' Rome Total War with reckless abandon. He's even gone so far as to /uninstall RtCW!!! What Hellfox hasn't uninstalled though is his emotion for Enemy Territory. When thinking of HF in ET, a certain RAtM lyric comes to mind. "Your anger is a gift!"

Fox takes this to a whole new level and on Thursday night we found out why. He's a hax0r! How do we know? 'Cause the other team said so. That's right, Hellfox got accused of using an aimbot!!! This is serious business, just like the internet, and we're looking into the allegations now. We'll get back to you with our internal investigation in the future, but until then all of Hellfox's innocence has been lost!

A Memorial to Hax-Fox's Innocence. Click for evidence and Hellfox global rage!!!

In the last few weeks we've slowly drifted away from RtCW. Some of us are participating in Halo2 on XBox Live (gamertags released soon) and some are playing WoW. However, Hellfox has found a different passion. Art. That's right. Hellfox is raging at all the CPL lans in their Rome: Total War art divisions. So far he's won all 8 World Tour Stops. We've framed up all his victories and they are now on display for everyone here at the site. Enjoy.

On this otherwise nondescript day, the world becomes a better place. I set out on my lunch break to visit my dearest friend, Landshark. The man, the myth, the legend is a fixture of Office Space, co-founding the team with Abi-Normal back in the late 1900's. This man of many talents has traveled a dynamic path to stardom. From his glory days as a Duke Nukem dynamo to his rebirth as an activist against Middle American Red State Jamandism in the late 50's, he's seen it all. After a brief stint as a professional poker player, Landshark quietly stepped away from the limelight and pursued his true passion. Door greeting.

So onto WalMart I went. I soon as I passed through that automatic door I heard a voice that boomed over ventrilo many a night. "Welcome to WalMart sucka!"

I persuaded Landshark to take his 30 minute lunch break and we talked of the good ol days as we browsed the super grocery side of the store for tasty lunch time snack treats. I munch on pistachios and watermelon while brazenly staring down all associates who would challenge my rights to talk to the man, the myth, the legend. Landshark, being the old man that he is, enjoyed his prune juice and told me stories about his involvement in the Crimean Wars actually lead to the term "pwnage".

It was a bittersweet visit, for 30 minutes is not nearly enough time to soak up all the wisdom that is the BJB. I did enjoy my time though with my dear pal and managed to snap a shot off as I left to return to work.

Landshark as I left WallyWorld! Look at that flair!

Wow, wow, wow. It's been a busy month or two since ze last update. Thankfully, KITH and Dante have kept on their toes and pester me everyday about an update. So here goes.

Dante has been inactive on the ol' Wolfie front, but he's a busy little man. He's hopped onboard with controlled-insanity.com as a reviewer! Be sure to check out his two latest reviews HERE and HERE. Not only is he pimpin' on CI.com, he's noticed some no name sites are picking up his reviews too. I've never heard of them, but I figured the traffic from our site would help out those who like Dante. So be sure to visit BluesNews.com, HardOCP.com, VipersLair.com and TwistedMods.com. Yeah, I've never heard of them either.

In other news, I went and saw String Cheese Incident last week. They weren't too good. They were so bad that I decided to call KITH during the set break and let him know that it sucked. Our conversation was something like the following

Wippuh: Hey man, SCI sucks nowadays
KITH: Word.
Wippuh: What are you up to?
KITH: Driving to the strip club for my friend's bachelor party. Not my thing, never been to one, but oh well, whatever yo.
Wippuh: Ok, have fun, you nup!
KITH: Straight!

I promptly hung up and called our secret OS division members in Vermont. Everyone was on duty hexing the Yankees, so we called up our Canadalander affiliates and Sir Shaggy went undercover to get a pic of KITH at his first strip club trip. Don't even ask about what Shaggy did to get our secret camera in place!

Here's KITH at the Yar Bar Strip Club!

Whew, time for a big time news update! And away we go...

The Ut2k4 team continues to ramble on in TWL Onslaught. After the initial win, they ran into the buzzsaw that was Ahriman Corps. Regrouping, Hellfox brought in HandsomeRob so that we could stop playing matches a man down! With his handsome good lucks and the name Rob rhyming with Bob, they quickly dispatched the Intelligent Gamerz to regain their position as a dominant team in ut2k4, heh! Anyway, welcome HandsomeRob to the Ut2k4 division of Office Space!

Joining yet another ladder in TWL, OS made their official first visit to Enemy Territory! Sure, we've been there a long time with participation in the beta test and domination as the Chinese, !HACKED BY CHINESE!, but the c[_] had not been seen in an ET match. That all changed as Doppy, Kith, Wipp and HellFox whipped it out in their first TWL 3v3 match! Even though the 3v3 does not allow the WombatFaust, wombats were spotted burrowing deep beneath the ice and gaydar of Ice and Radar. It was nothing but pure fun playing with Dopp and Kith again. Yes, it is still true, Kith is as ghey as ever! Weeeeeee.

So much fun was had in the 3's match, that the possibility of creating a 6v6 team for ET is being explored! Could face, speed and dirt be headed for ET? Time shall tell. Head into #initech if you might be interested. Taking applications now.

In extremely big news, OS is now in their terrible two's! That's right, the team turned 2 years old on August 28th! We're still around kicking and the majority of team members are still active! As a tribute we had to go notify a team that the c[_] was sole property of initech! That's right, someone tried to jack the cup as their tag! We promptly set our legal team of Hell-Fox and Kith on them and matters were cleared up with 'wicked fast speed yo' according to Kith! Had to give those guys a c[_] of stfu! Har har, uhhhh... nm.

That's all for now. Keep your thoughts out there for the main man, Amish_Gigolo! Hope everything gets better man.
