  4. Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden was developed over a super-brief timeframe, and we had to work over the New Year period. I insisted on sending the staff home for New Year's Day, and I was grabbing a quick power nap at the office when I heard someone inside. "Who's there?" I mumbled drowsily, and someone replied, "Just go back to sleep." After that, the sounds faded. I got up to check, and what did I find...?
  5. A bunch of snacks in the fridge, along with a note that read: "Hang in there. -[surname]" The surname vaguely rang a bell for me, so I asked my boss at the time about it and found out it was someone really high up the ladder in the parent company, who I'd never even personally met.
  6. Incidentally, I'd also received some snacks from the president of the company I worked for at the time before this happened. The final punchline to the story is that even after all that, the release date still got pushed back, and I ended up getting the third degree. ^_^;

  8. Addendum: Not that stories like this don't happen nowadays, but... I asked around later to find out why that higher-up was visiting our company on New Year's Day, and the answer I got was, "Because he expected no one to be there then."
