LIGHTNING ROUND: The ___ of Video Games Questions (01:04:26)
Getting this one together was a big team effort with Esper and I both away from our stations, so huge thanks to Christa Lee and MoxBagel for pitching in!
Brandon’s suggestion at the end of the episode perfectly aligns to my taste. I cannot overstate how much I adore TV space sci-fi. I watch something from it just about every day.
In november they put on a job (aside from the game ones) requesting a translation of a former r0c|<star brazillian employee interview on a local radio show. That dude was a irl fashion designer that made up brands and clothes for the games. The dude kinda leaked the launch window for the next big game 6.
It is very scary of how much they monitor the interwebs bc the video has like, less than 1k views to this day, and had like 100 when the job was solicited. The radio show YT’s channel is waaaay too small.
Apropos of nothing, does anyone else have a podcast or something similar that autoplays after the weekly Insert Credit show? The borderline listenable food and cooking podcast I sometimes tune into, Cooking Issues, always starts right away, so its annoying intro jingle is synonymous with the Insert Credit outro to me, like when you listen to a song in a playlist for a long time, and then whenever you hear it in the world, you expect the next song from your playlist to play.
Art and Labor’s theme song plays usually right after the IC’s outro and I always have to do a double-take thinking that the Insert Credit just added a missable (!) bonus section at the end
Oh man. I’ve got a few of these in my head, but will not be sharing them as they are mostly racist, sexist or homophobic. Mind boggling what you can just get away with.
There’s a pizza joint on the boardwalk within a mile of me that has like 10 different names within, all delivering via ubereats, DoorDash etc. and yeah, it’s the worst pizza in town, which is really sayin something.
Eggslut has franchised since GTA V, so it’s really another tick in the “how will GTA’s rudimentary satire come off in post-satire America?” box
