Giant Bombcast 615: Favorite Crime

@djredbat: No one at Giant Bomb seriously cares about TLOU fyi, maybe Brad sort of.

@cats_n_tats: my company has been sending teams through an agile coaching program for 6 weeks. My manager was hell bent on turning my team into a scrum team. The coaches agreed with the team that we are basically Scrumban. The only scrum thing we don't do is sprints since we're more of a service team and can't sprint qualifications.

Damn it Jeff. When you said that Alexa line at the beginning I was playing this over speakers so it actually set it off.

@ben I'm pretty sure the Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack was released...

I liked Dynasty Warriors: Gundam.

Also need a Death Stranding mod that changes the president into Miku.

Some good games incoming!

Clearly Ben has never played the DBZ Legacy of Goku games on the GBA. They had sprawling open areas. Sprawling! No but for real, those games were pretty good.

I can't stand fake white noise. I'm fine if it's a fan or (actual) rain or something, but the stuff from an app drives me crazy. I had to share a room with my brother for a bit, and we always have a fan going in that room. It gets quite hot in the summer, and even in the winter, it gets kind of stuffy without the fan moving air. Anyways, there was one winter night where it was actually quite freezing, so we didn't have the fan on. And instead he turned on a white noise app. He had never done that before; I didn't know he was the type that "needed" white noise. I couldn't sleep for shit. I ended up getting ear plugs in case he did it again while we were sharing the room.

A minor correction from the start, Auld Lang Syne is actually Scottish, not Irish.

Not really getting the acceptance of services like game pass. Jeff framed this like its a much better deal than buying the games on Steam. This may be immediately true but this is just a sales tactic in order to drive game pass adoption. Once adoption reaches a certain percentage they'll ramp the prices up and consumers will end up getting a lot less for their money. Overall, services like game pass are not to our benefit.

I've come to really appreciate Rorie this year

I remember Witcher 3 on PS4 having butts and boobies. Ultimately, that decision would likely come from a government Censor in a country, even if Sony might do it proactively.

You're not last, I am last.

Water will absolutely get you "unhungered" as Rorie put it. Trust me, I've just lost 100 lbs last year. I'm not satisfied with small meals so I would often just have one big meal and eat nothing else outside of that meal for the day. If I get hungry drinking a lot of water to fill my stomach absolutely works. It won't give you energy, but you won't feel hungry.

The word is "vestigial," Rorie.

Edit: And of course it's the very last thing he says on the show
