Great question. If I only had one video I could play it would be this.

Call of Duty WW2 is a game about hard-discussions.

A medium time ago I was a QA tester, and all the hardest discussions on the job were internal. I was tasked with the technical requirements checklist as well, which made most days yelling matches with my own memory.

There is a television, there is a console, there is a dev console, there are your monitors, and there are stacks and stacks of papers requiring you do the exact same thing over and over, in triplicate.

So by hour four of the sixth day of crunch-time before the game gets handed off to a whole other QA department in a whole other country to triple check the work you checked in triplicate the conversation quickly goes from, "Did I press the power button to black screen twenty-eight times or twenty-nine." To, "Does there have to be a hell? Could it be any worse than the ones we create for ourselves?"   

Anyway, I think I was talking about call of Duty. It's ok if you are into Call of Duty. If you are not into Call of Duty then you shouldn't buy it or any other Call of Duty game. I'll spoil all of them for you, in the campaign mode some dude who is for some reason tasked to do everything goes on a jingoist heroes journey for reasons, multiplayer is lit.

Yeah, that's about it. Oh the whole TRC thing, it wasn't as bad as I make it sounds but sometimes it was. I hope information enjoyed the bbq (damn lucky photogs), not lowkey mad though, nope... nah... :) Also JOBZ.
