Did you notice that story actually quotes Kotaku for the reasoning?
RedAssedBaboon! So great!!
Thank you everyone for the kind words of support and farewells. Kotaku is a wonderful place, and will remain so. I know I'll continue to visit here.
If you interested in following my personal ramblings, and to see where I'm headed next. I've posted more details over on the Tumblr I whipped up this week.
Yeah, I know, tumblr. :D
One of the interesting things about Sherlock's (and old-timey cops') method of deductive reasoning is that it's not very useful in today's society. That's mostly because social norms are so broad today it's hard to ascribe a certain action or background to mannerisms, dress or other things easily observed.
I have an old beat cop manual from the 50s that does an amazing job of proving this point. This is a book that beat cops used to read to get a lay of the land before they started on the job. It tells them things like "people with tattoos are likely convicts." There's a bunch more, but it is all in that vein.
Having said that, I really should check this new show out now that I have a bit of time on my hands. :D
You know... they stiffed me on that garlic. :D
awwwwwww... :( you. you remembered.
444 comments! Holy crap. Alright, I'm off to read them all. Thanks everyone for taking the time. :D
We have seen it, it's called the Windows Phone 7.
Not really. it plays music and movies, but this is a device built from the ground up to game on.
thanks dr. obvious. :D While I agree, I don't think that two thumbsticks automatically make up for the size. It's something they're going to have to really prove is worth the inconvenience of a dedicated device.
As several people have mentioned that is a fake twitter account. You can tell because it spells things correctly.
Single only.
Give it a try and let me know what you think. I'm curious if you think the time you get for free is too stingy or not in terms of keys and such.
Where are you seeing $10,000?
I had hoped it was going to build on the story, but it seemed to mostly ditch story for pure gameplay.
haha I posted that at 1130! You've still got 13 minutes. (Noon eastern).
The one character I'm hinting out there is Alan's wife, something I bemoaned in my original, mostly glowing, review of the game. Alan Wake was one of my favorites of 2010, but I hated the DLC and wish that Alice was more than a damsel in distress with a mostly unexplored back story.
Thanks for the typo catch.
Check back in 30 minutes for my story on Alan Wake 2. :D
Unlikely. Alan Wake finally hit PC, but remember this is sort of a Microsoft exclusive.
