SGJ Podcast #516 – Our Favorite Sound Design in Gaming

Hey friends, welcome to the show! Quick note, OBS cut out about ten minutes into our recording, so there’s not really a video, but the audio is unaffected.

This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I talk about games with our favorite sound design. We have a nice, varied list, which you can see below, and while there were a few surprises, most of them shouldn’t be a surprise at all if you know us at all.
