foggy night when the pressure was just too much…

Haha. That was crazy and totally funny!
Kudos for the black and white shoot. Very Lovecraft.
Excellent job.
In the halls of Microsoft no one can hear you scream.
That. Was. Awesome!
Best video yet
Weird, disturbing and awesome!
Really disturbing
Laaaura! Laaaura! It's killing bug night
i can totaly relate.. my profile picture was taken by my last "bug" just as it wa about about to get "resolved"
awsome jobb
lol that was awesome!
Awesome!
Did he kill them with the VS'10 Beta 2 Install Disc, or the RTM??
That was freakin' awesome. The first video I've seen with Laura and Tina together. And Dan killed them! I'll never forgive you, Dan.
Dan is truly scary.
There heads on the wall at the end were really cool
the next time my boss want's me to work "longer" I'll just show him this ... nice job!
High praise on the production values!
Poor Tina and Laura.. Dan, it's time for some stress leave. The sequel should be a Christmas Carol or something.
Great work Laura, this was all her
As for Visual Studio 2010, Beta 2 install disc, it's sharper
That was a good one. Especially since the last "bug" was trying to get away in a 'bug' {volkswagon}
As with all great fiction, it's probably rooted in some elements of truth. Laura and Tina certainly portrayed the irritating chattering bugs with great skill!
Dan has that ominous Half-Life G-Man look in black and white.
Great stuff! This really captured the essence of Dan
Great work, Laura (she produced this)!
C
scary!
I like bunny’s and rainbows.
That was really good!
Although the scariest part was Laura and Tina chatting at full volume
That was totally awesome. Dan is terrifying.
Look, you confused the Kotaku people with that trophy wall!
Wow, that's pretty scary! Way better than "Paranormal Activity"!
I was wondering, though, which building was that filmed in? It looks familiar.
SICK....
This is ULTIMATE CREATIVITY !!! Awesome ! Happy Halloween !
Superb !!!
I don't know how many times i watched this already, but this is really good.
Retarded.
How many DVDs did you waste down that stairwell?
The checks were hot.
The black and white is what made this worth watching.
The Grinch only shows up at Christmas, so what's your costume?

While I can totally see Dan going crazy like this... I just don't see him wearing a tie to work without being forced to... which come to think of it could also bring on this kind of outcome.
Are those.. Horde trophy heads?
Only takes 3 CDs to down a softie? humbug. It would take one milllllliion CDs. How did the post production on that and what was used?
if those CD's were containing VS2010 Beta 2 imagine what u can do with a disc with a RTM release.
Great Video!
AHuHAuha !!! Very Funny ! Happy Halloween !
Am I the only one who finds this video pretty weird? I get the whole it's-Halloween-so-lets-go-way-over-the-top idea, but what's with the two women chatting non-stop and the "developer" seeing them as bugs? I find it ridiculous and borderline offensive. Mind you, I'm all for good humor, but this wasn't even funny!
It could have been men, just so happens the actors were women. Get over it.
nice production value on the vid.
Happy Halloween C9!
Dan - you've missed your calling mate! Should have been an actor!
Awesome. Had a Pi (the movie) kind of feel.
Fantastic.
Really well done.
Love the B&W look....
Also perfect balance of hammy and scary....
That's exactly what first came to my mind
Awesome comedy flick. I loved the happy ending.
What's written on dan's white board....there must be some easter eggs in this video...no?
Great job. Loved the chatty bugs!
Just awsome!!
Wonderful. Loved it. May serve well as launch party.
I also wondered what that thing was he made with his food. At first I thought it was the Visual Studio logo.
Superb video. I downloaded the Windows theme and I find myself showing the desktop (Win + Space), to see what that wallpaper that seeps through the taskbar is.
Thanks everybody! We all worked hard on this and had a great time. Now taking suggestions for future C9 films!
@ChrisStepaniuk:
@ChrisStepaniuk: I agree I would like to see a sequel as a Christmas killing. This was really great, the annoying "bug" chattering office girls I can realate to.
If you’re having a <a href="http://coupongrove.com/SpiritHalloween/">Halloween</a> party you need to play some games! Whether it’s to fill the time before the food is ready or to keep the kids occupied before their parents collect them, here are some ghoulish games to play.
