Before you blow off Smooth Operators (80 MSP), convinced that living and breathing the call center lifestyle is not for you, ask yourself how many cities you built and ran into the ground, how many sims you deliberately walled off from the outside world while watching them squirm, or how many worlds you’ve minecrafted into a blocky paradise; your answer is probably ‘quite a few’. That need to create something on your own is fully represented and open to you in Smooth Operators, even if its choice of careers doesn’t immediately breed excitement.
After 7 long years it has finally happened. Fallout 4 has arrived! The crew jumps on it like radroaches on irradiated toast. Does it live up to the years of expectation? Is a post apocalyptic Boston a good setting? Can you shoot without using VATS!? Oh, and now everyone on the podcast has an Xbox One so they talk about that but… FALLOUT 4!!!
SteamFirst:Right up front, I will tell you: my day job, the one that many of you have advised that I should not to quit, is working at a call center. While working there, I have been both on the front lines taking the calls and in leadership positions. I would say that I have a pretty good handle on how they work. Thus, it was with tongue firmly planted in cheek that I pulled Andreas Heydeck’s Smooth Operators: Call Center Chaos out of our review backlog and said “I am going to review the crap out of this.”
John Bedford (Modojo): Five great games you can enjoy for less this Columbus Day.
