Why I Think About Storybricks Most Mornings… September 9, 2011

Along my route to work there is a Manpower office. They have a sign on their building with the corporate logo.
Which you have to admit, is at least mildly similar to this:
This means that almost every morning on the way to work I think, “Hrmm, the Storybricks logo is a lot like the Manpower logo.” Which is probably not exactly what Namaste intended.
Then again, I have worked at some places where temps have been treated a lot like NPCs, so maybe the parallels are not that much of a stretch.
Is it bad if I’m now thinking that a game about running a temp agency for NPCs could be hilarious?
@Spinks – That has potential. Do you start of with in-town NPCs, or would you get the position of lowly yard trash recruiter and have to work your way up to mini-bosses?
Didn’t somebody already do a game where you play an NPC shop keeper in a game?
@Wilhelm – yes, and Recettear is a great little game. Spinks’s idea could be even better.
lol I did not even notice – brilliant! x)
Recettear is a great game, and yep, a NPC temping agency would be awesome. A bit like Game Dev Story but more amusing :)
The logo was done by a contractor though a bidding site. It’s more supposed to evoke books rather than an abstract “MP”, I think. :)
And, now, I have to make sure that Storybricks allows for an NPC temp agency. :)
