Name some things you would find in an office

This is going to seem pretty random, but I need some things you would find in an office from the date 1990 - modern day.
Everything from ceiling types, to things the size of staplers and small will work.

I need this information on a game I'm about to mod within 1-2 weeks, called Penumbra Overture. It's probably one of the scarier horror games out there.

In penumbra And my mod, there are NO guns. There are NO zombies. There are NO people. Instead of taking a shotgun out to kill an enemy, you use the environment to hide from it, or to hurt it (occasionally kill it)

The game's setting is based in an office style.
Your answers will greatly influence and improve my mod, so Please Be Mature.
+Rep for being mature.
-rep for acting immature.


I recently made a thread containing exactly this, but the site started slowing down. Right now, the topic I originally made shows no information, so please delete it.

Thanks for the replies so far.
This doesn't relate to this topic, but here's a picture of what I'm currently working on (trying to get a small office style setting)
Things to keep in mind:
-I am having a small bug with HPL that makes the walls not show up. Because of this, objects look like they're not on anything.
-This is a work in progress, and only have 5 different model types.
-I am fairly new at modeling. This level of quality (quite low) will not be in my mod. It will be alot higher. I plan to begin the mod in 1-2 weeks.
-Light is red to simulate a flare has been placed in the room.

If we are starting at 1900 you could put typewriters and dictaphones and other non so sophisticated things

this really has nothing to do with whats in an office but its about your game...

ok if your gonna use drastic light changes from say a dark hole to the open sky, can u make it so once you enter a dark area its almost pitch black, but the longer your there things start to take shape , sorta like your eyes getting accustomed to the change. and when u go outside everything is super bright, and after a while it comes down to a tolerable level.

and also, you should put like a 6-shot revolver in someone's desk, but have it locked up and a key hidden somewhere else (perhaps on a dead body). just kinda throw it in there not really as a weapon that you'll keep and use later on in the game, but something that if you get in a really tight situation you have 6 shots, and thats it...

as for things you might find in an office, fire extinguishers, cigar boxes, duct tape (lol), pictures of friends and family (if you want to add a random signature to your map, put pictures of your family/friends in the frames)

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
