    So sports games are perfect for listening to podcasts since the commentary gets old after about two games. But be careful with Fifa if you have a Kinect! I recently started a new manager career since it's now free with the EA thing. As I was playing through the first couple games, I was listening to the Bombcast and put on a quick look or two. I kept getting warnings after the games that I was being too aggressive towards the referees. I kind of guessed that the game was being cute and the Kinect was picking up on the obscene amounts of swearing happening on the Bombcast, but never thought it would go beyond warnings.

    Sure enough my career is over because I listened to the Bombcast while Fifaing. I was fired and have to start all over again. Thankfully there is an option buried in the kinect menu to turn off referee listening so hopefully it doesn't happen again.

    I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that this was not the story I expected to see when I clicked on the thread.

    I feel like GB could get me legitimately fired if I were to listen to one of the shows with the audio in open air.

    That's hilarious, super glad it was only a Video Game Job! Sorry about your game progress, but that's what you get for leaving your Kinect plugged in. /jk

    I would have been fired for the amount of cursing I would be doing because it wasn't Lacross

    I expected the usual "I went to Giant Bomb at work and they thought I was a terrorist" story.

    Funny enough, I had Jury Duty last month and--remembering all those emails--decided against visiting the site while I was on their wifi.

    I forgot that was a feature. And that's why I play Pro Evo.
