That was recorded quite a while ago because it was warm, Sampy was wearing sandals and Bob Mu was still there.

I think I'm going to start saying I work on secret features that I can't tell you anything about whenever someone asks me what I do. It's got a ring to it.

Strange, this was filmed during the WP7 launch? That is quite some time ago!
I know the studio's are being worked on right now, so maybe you may need to redo this with the new studio's? Also strange the offices are in a different building then the studio's.

This was some time ago (before PDC). The studio is now twice as big and quite a bit different. We'll be updating this one soon.

@Raiven: That was actually the SECOND time we shot the walk around in B24 as we tried first on a Wednesday and there were even FEWER people in their offices.... But hey, at least I have proof that *I* was at work
