Ep73: The Streisand Effect
/Jon is out this week with the Benz, but check this out:
The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.
It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently generated further publicity.
Games discussed this week include Rayman Legends, Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare, Xcom Enemy Within, Threes!, Day One Garry’s Incident, Hexcells, Badland, Word Mage, Last of Us, Rust!

In case you were wondering, the intro is called "Breakthrough" by Ben Landis, and can be found on the Chiptunes = Win album, along with many others that we use for the low background stuff. The outro music this week is "Roll With the Changes" by REO Speedwagon.
Oh, also we use the track "At The Sign Of The Swinging Cymbal" by the John Anderson Big Band for the NPD Top 10's
