Actual story, from reddit user knobcrik:
in 2005 I was working for a “telemarketing” firm somewhere on the east coast. morale was so bad at the company, management went to great lengths to keep people that actually worked hard. one of the ways they did this was a short lived but highly entertaining award for “Employee of the Month”. Said employee was treated to answering calls from a “special” desk with a 42″ monitor.
Here is the first and last employee of the month winner. The next months winner could not go more than two days with the XL monitor stating his “retinas were getting burned out by the heat from the screen”.

Skip to 5 minutes in for the goods.
I like the House of the Dead games; they’re always fun. I can’t see myself spending $50 for an “on rails” game though. If I want to play a game like this, I’ll go to an arcade; if I can find one; or just pop in House of the Dead on my Sega Dreamcast. House of the Dead: Overkill is on shelves now; only on Wii. Good thing it’s on the Wii, since that’s the only current generation console with any sort of zapper; even though the Wii Zapper is just a plastic case for the Wiimote to sit in. Watch the trailer above and see some actual gameplay footage after the break.
