The Most Famous Game in History!

Tetris would like a word.

I honestly thought of Mario first but yeah, Tetris, Mario, pacman and maybe space invaders would be instantly recognisable to everyone. If I was to show my non gamer dad a picture of Niko, CJ or Trevor/Michael/Franklin then he would have no idea who they were. Where as the other games he absolutely would recognise the characters or the names.

And chess is just rolling its eyes.

Senet would also like to have a word (nobody said video games)

Pac Man as well.

Something about the narration just sounds a little... off, like it's a bit robotic and slowed down. Is this just this channel's style, or is it some chatbot-generated text-to-speech thing?

I skipped to a random sentence six minutes in and got a heady double-tone single-syllable word. Could be indicative of voice compression/altering software (lotsa podcasts use a filter to make their voice sound more… podcasty?)

More likely indicative of TTS/AI voice tho.
