Zombies drive away employees working overtime and promote Work–life balance

CAPCOM provides interesting service as promotion of their latest game Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This is supporting "No overtime work" -zombies dispatch campaign-.

In Japanese companies, there are few employees who do not work overtime. The overtime work becomes common in Japan and is the situation that it is far from realization of Work–life balance. Therefore CAPCOM dispatches zombies to the other companies, and surprise and drive away employees working overtime.

This service is free, but video where zombies attacked offices is shown on web later. This becomes the promotion for both of companies attacked by zombies and CAPCOM. If zombies attacked a working office? In the meantime, it will not be a working feeling anymore.

You can do dōjinshi fair play in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A certain Japanese game player made interesting MOD in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This is it.

They are a pipe chair and a simple long table. Even these are considerably funny, furthermore can add a posters to a long table.

This is a scene of dōjinshi fair(同人誌即売会) such as Comiket definitely! Dōjinshi is the Japanese term for self-published works, usually magazines, manga and novels. The fair where amateur creators buy and sell this are held in various parts in Japan(via Wikipedia). You can reproduce this if you use this MOD and place the object of books on long table. The situation that a soldier in armor waits on customers in dōjinshi fair is very funny, but it may be said that it seems to be Otaku event.

In addition, pipe chair and long table are usable as a weapon. Of course it is also funny :)
