Should Be Lost to Time: FuncoLand Training Video

Tuesday, March 02, 2010

Training videos aren't supposed to be entertaining. Their purpose is to drill your respective company's policies into your brain with constant and repetitious descriptions of every aspect of your employee requirements. FuncoLand, now GameStop, felt a romp through the land of video games was just the setting for their heavy-handed -- and I'll venture to say trippy -- video.

Now you can experience the same horror of a FuncoLand employee circa 1998. Remember, someone thought this was a good, hip idea. 

Part 2 is after the jump.

With those graphics, I keep expecting horrible Phantasmagoria deaths.

So little has changed; bothering customers that are looking around, carrying limited amount of new games, pushing their magazine.

hahaha, wow. thank god I was never subjected to that. Actually, this video reminds me of that scene in Super Trooper where they watched that foreign cartoon with the crazy monkey and were all high.

Oh Christ, I remember being trained via this video back in the summer of 1999 fresh out of highschool.


Have to admit never thought in a million years at that time it would lead to me ending up as a game developer, LOL. Still that video was happily buried in my sub conscious. DAMN YOU for making me remember it!
