If you'd asked us six months ago whether the world needed a bathroom janitor simulator, we'd probably have said no. We'd have been completely wrong of course, and as a result we might have missed out on the toilet humor delights of Men's Room Mayhem. Even so, a call-center simulator surely seems like a stretch too far. If you've worked in one, you really don't want to go back. If you haven't, then trust us - ignorance is bliss. So how does Smooth Operators go about charming us with this dreary slice of modern life?
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.”
