Do any Paradox people like playing playing boardgames?

There are some people at the office that play once or twice a month. Myself I don't play that much, but when I play it's usually tactical history games like the Musket & Pike series.

Does anyone of the Paradox team play Dungeons and Dragons?

I've never tried it. But I have played a fair amount of Drakar och Demoner (Dragons and Demons -- a swedish RPG) in my days. And Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Kult and Mutant (both versions).
 
What's the real name of that song? I've heard in the commercial and found it nice enough, but I haven't found out what it's real name is.

I am not sure what commercial you refer to, but the only song I know that starts "work, work" is "crushed by the wheels of industry" by Heaven 17. Showing my age by knowing that :)
 
We're crazy busy right now. Almost everyone loves boardgames and most of us have played dungeons and dragons to death :)

Thank you for your help.
It wasnt't that song, sadly, but you gave me the iapetus to make one final push with google, and by condensing the question further I finally managed to find it.
(The commercial - note, this is a commercial. Don't click the link if you think you might be affected by the commercial message) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icYl8k-tPIU

Anyway, to sum it up, it apparnedly was "Hard work" by "The Sun Harbour Chorus" from the album "Run to Cadence with US Army Airborne, Vol 2".

And to keep things on topic - Johan, was it "Hard Work" you were thinking about, or "Work" with "The Saturdays" ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YTJoY3Q4yA
(Or something else entirely)

What isn't the project red, white, blue ?
I'm pretty sure, it's not a "control your paradox staff" game !

I think Project Red, White, Blue is not a grand strategy game covering the times from American Independence and the end of Napoleonic era (almost gap between EUIII and Victoria) ;-)
 
Can you tell us who else is playing, and what nations they're in?

France - Yonaz
Poland - Beuschov
Milan - Tegus
Muscowy - Darkrenown
Teutonic Order - Captain Gars
China - SolSara
Ottoman Empire - Doomdark
England - King
Sweden - Viktor (graphics intern)
Burgundy - Kallocain
Portugal - JohanL (new programmer, don't know his nick on the forum)
Manchu - Birken
Castille - Johan
