Did man really land on the moon?
Is the syntrillium foos-cam real?
Has anyone ever seen people playing at the syntrillium foosball table?
Is this just propaganda to make us think they have a fun working environment?
Do they rotate photos in front of the cam to make us think its real?

They probably set up the "Foos-Cam" to show us that they aren't slacking off, and they are constantly busy working on CE. However, I suspect that they just put in a tape of the table for about half the day. :D
Preformated text doesn't quite work the way it should...

LOL!
I HAVE really seen it in use. A long time ago, probably within a month of the "new" website. But never since. Maybe they'd let us visit Corporate Headquarters so we can get "seen" on the web. No, the travel expense wouldn't be worth it. The carefully placed camera angle makes it impossible to see faces.

Hehe. We actually play there at least 3 to 4 times a week. Last week, we were playing daily. Usually between 3-5pm Arizona time for about 30 minutes each time.
We aim to please. Everyone can tune in to the fooscam on:
Friday August 30, 2002 at 3:00pm Arizona time (which happens to be same as California time right now). We will keep the game going until at least 4:00pm :-).

To fill the sports void because of a possible Major Leage Baseball strike.......Syntrillium employees are coming together for "Foos-bowl 2002".... They aim to please. Everyone can tune in to the fooscam on: Friday August 30, 2002 at 3:00pm Arizona time (which happens to be same as California time right now). They will keep the game going until at least 4:00pm :-)......... Watch espn tonite for Sportscenter highlights.... Duh Duh Duh...... Duh Duh Duh. <------- Lame "text" attempt at the sportscenter jingle.

Isn't technology great! Massive global conglomerates worth billions work together so that we can... watch a foosball game...
Actually, it works pretty well if you keep the picture small, but I agree with radiokenny - we need a fooscoregirl, or whatever.
And wot, no Synt MD in this contest???

Could you at least get them to wear labels on their backs so we can tell which one's which?

I caught the last 20 minutes....... They need jerseys. Looking at the scores Keith needs to just be the water boy.

On all the tournament tables around here (Houston), you only have 1 goalie on the back slide. I don't know if I could get used to using a 3 goalie configuration. I don't actually play much anymore, but in the late 70's - early 80's.... I had a pretty vicious pull, slap-slot. (never was much on the push though....) Good Luck and may the best Fooser (politically correct) win. Voodoo

You are the man Mat.
I think Bob needed a six goalie config.

I'm smaller than I was a few minutes ago. Congratulations, Mat. Me, I'm riding off into the sunset. Now it's *your* problem-- you'll roam the prairie, and every young gunslinger who thinks he's fast and wants to try his luck will challenge you. You won't be able to rest until eventually one of 'em shoots that tenth point through your heart, and then you'll wonder what you've done with your life.
Or something like that.

Actually, I must say that these generally looked to be good clean games, with not much handle spinning. I hope that you're all feeling suitably virtuous!

I think for future "online" Foos tournaments, you guy's should consider..... streaming audio, where you play your own CEP creations and creations submitted by your loyal forum members. Good Luck Voodoo
Oh yea.... and get that kid with the glasses (the one that use to hangout on the homepage) and have him do the whole Chris Berman "play by play".
