Interesting, but I'm having trouble making out what he's saying.
(Even the CC option seems to have difficulties:
"you think I'm as %uh people news in the game start in"
"pencil special"
"now election not work is residual lies folks at residual action"
-- the CC is not really helpful).
Does he say Grim Fandango has "tank-like" controls?
I haven't heard that term before.
I've heard of "camera-relative" and "character-relative."
I would not have guessed they'd have taken inspiration from Bioforge.

Yes, tank -

From http://www.giantbomb.com/tank-controls/3015-4647/

"Tank controls refers to a control style for third person perspective games where manual turning is required instead of the more common method of facing in the direction that the analog stick is tilted and moving forward."

Very interesting.
