    Corporate GGs

    In this episode of The Scroll, Boots and Frank discuss GOG's recent AI art controversy and Ubisoft's massive restructuring into five "Creative Houses". They also recount the wild story of the 18-year-old who leaked GTA VI footage using an Amazon Fire Stick and explore the new "honest living" Odd Jobs in GTA Online. Plus, they weigh in on the bizarre news of Tim Sweeney praising the Google Genie 3 AI engine—calling it a "great idea" despite the tool being caught plagiarizing his own Fortnite IP. Pro-Tip for Aspiring Firefighters: Through February 4, you can earn 2X GTA$ and RP on all Odd Jobs, with firefighting dispatches paying out up to $15,000. Completing 25 dispatches will unlock "The Unwavering" outfit, and finishing 5 jobs for the first time unlocks the trade price for the MTL Fire Truck.

    TGA 2025

    We sat down to cover The Game Awards 2025, and it turned into the Clair Obscur show. This week on The Scroll, I’m joined by Frank and special guest Brad ("Brad's Burgers") to break down the winners, the world premieres, and the absolute chaos of Thursday night. We cover the historic sweep by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and debate if it was a deserved domination or if Kingdom Come: Deliverance II got robbed. In this episode: The Sweep: Reaction to Clair Obscur taking home GOTY, RPG, Narrative, and... well, everything else. The Rants: Frank goes off on why the Twisted Metal TV show was robbed by The Last of Us for Best Adaptation. The Trailers: We hype up John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, the return of Ace Combat, and the insane Divinity reveal from Larian Studios. The "Wait, What?": Did we hallucinate "Badgerborne"? And can we talk about the Flute Guy going absolutely feral during the orchestra? The Action: Don Lee in Gang of Dragon, Leon Kennedy's return in Resident Evil Requiem, and why Phantom Blade 0 looks terrifying. Plus, we discuss No Man's Sky winning Best Ongoing (again) and the sheer confusion of the Four Loop trailer.
