One of my biggest disappointments in LA Noire involved the conclusion of the hunt for one of the game's highest profile suspects. We knew the person in question was seriously mentally ill, and we also knew of the suspect's connections to powerful criminals in the city, so when it came time to get him, I wanted a way

By the way, while the characters required a cast of black characters, the creator is a white man from Edinburgh, so in the context of this article this show was part of the problem. Then again, if more white male creators were as thoughtful as McCall-Smith about the topic of diversity and were willing to tell these

There are scripts for two TV movies. I wish BBC had taken it over on their own, but I guess there are contractual reasons why that couldn't happen, or why they weren't able to do it alone in the first place. BBC does have the radio series though, with nearly 30 episodes so far. I don't use iTunes, but it's probably on

Yeah, although I guess they'll be quietly cancelling the progression of the occasional saga if part one doesn't go down too well. Really, this has been Ubi's strategy for a very long time now, so it's only the announcement confirming the intention to make as many of these series into annual releases that raises an

I wasn't saying Molly's point was "interesting" with any hidden snark. I'm genuinely interested in how perceptions might have changed, because I don't feel that way (as a person who'll be 40 in less than a year).

It seems not - a "reliable" source, that same one who leaked accurate details of Black Flag, now says we're getting a game which is set (at least in part) in the French Revolution, featuring a protag called Arnaud.

That's interesting. I don't feel like the AIDS crisis ever stopped - it got worse and worse, and we're still in it. Does your generation feel like it's been and gone, then?

I think it was always going to be a problem to slot this one next to Assassin's Creed in the autumn schedule. It surprised me that they didn't go for a spring release in the first place, especially if this one is going annual.

I think this is going to be a lot less "open world" than some people are anticipating. From what we've seen, I think it'll be a lot less like GTA/SR and a lot more like LA Noire/Sleeping Dogs: a large world, but one that is not necessarily all that open, and with missions that keep you within a certain range of

Me. Just got back into audio/visual work. And sorry, "professional, especially gaming"? Unless someone's paying you to play, you're a consumer.

GASP

Yeah, that's what I thought I could see too. I'm trying to think of any way I could bake a cookie that would allow for any amount of milk-softened cookie, like maybe a thin layer of something hidden inside the layer, but it's not happening.

I think it needs to be lined with melted chocolate afterwards too. Could be a disaster otherwise.

Or 3, he was hacked. That's not actually as laughable as it might sound. Remember the fury with which the internet reacted to this filter? If this isn't a long history of the same behaviour stretching back a long time, it's plausible that he might have been the victim of some kind of attack. If the allegations only

Aww no. Penguin. Penguin means more of Nolan North's awful London-via-Melbourne accent, and more developer videos in which English-born Rocksteady developers pretend it's an accurate accent through clenched teeth.

You're not stupid! I do that too, when the red mist descends about a real thing that's wrong with the world :)

I'm curious to know if I could use ten condoms as posh oven gloves.

No it wasn't! How quickly do you think they can make episodes this good? These have to be written, edited, rehearsed, cast: locations hunted, wardrobe researched, vehicles hired, permissions sought, etc. Why would they seed the appearance of Glenn Fleshler driving a lawnmower if that was going to be his one appearance?

Watch it right now, before the spoilers are everywhere. It's a show you'll happily binge-watch, there are only 8 eps in the season, and each season is going to be self-contained (i.e. season two with be new actors in a story unconnected to this one).
