This. The game has excellent atmosphere, right up until you walk headlong into blunt, unforgiving mechanics like a giant pipewrench suspended at eye level in a thick fog. Had it a little more finesse, and some organic options-multiple ways to suss out how to solve a case maybe?-really would’ve improved it immeasurably.

Some incredible Photoshop potential here.

nvm

Good.

Feeling a strong premonition that Sonic might show up in Splatoon 3.

Existential karma.

That made me bit nostalgic for Heretic.

I just want to say, that genie level where you’re orbiting a little 3-D pyramid is some eye-opening shit.

This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen Hellboy win a fight without absolutely destroying his trench coat in the process.

That, and, well. David Cross is kind of known for being a ‘pretend asshole’ as an icebreaker in social situations. Take that as you will.

I’m still amazed at how that rounded corner works in the overall design layout.

I’ll just say it:

Oh, he knew.

Getting a young Powers Booth vibe off Mr Morgan, in a slightly deranged-in-the-light-of-day kind of way.

I kind of missed Mac Tonight, but then I realized his entire act was built around a single goddamn song and the subversive idea of eating McDonald’s after 6 PM.

The biggest thing that stands out to me is that, looking back on his podcast interviews about his early standup career and his life before his motorcycle accident, Louis clearly has had weird impulse control issues. And I think about that, and wonder how far that ever went.

Jeezus. Respect for the guy stopping the fight, but he’s practically dressed like a stage hand. Gives me a weird dinner-theater vibe.

This design makes the 360 look huge as hell.

That Marlboro Lynx is a little shocking. Well, the concept of ANY special edition Lynx systems is shocking, but...

...although a crazy part of me wishes they could have made the whole thing 100% centered and symmetrical. That side area is a little...I don’t know. Screams to be streamlined.
