Shucks

I spent a lot of Saturday wondering whether my cynical attitude would fly if the day ended early. Followed by the world, time and space, and of course the entire universe - multiverse not withstanding. So of course when it didn't I was in a particularly bad mood - if for no other reason then I'd have to start the dreaded editing of my story.

All jest aside I'm rather in awe that such a small time prediction (and let's just be clear that is what this was) had been taken to such depths. To understand just how far I exactly mean CNN actually had Stephen Baldwin in their studio to talk about... Things.

But I digress.

I had Monday off with some time allotted over the weekend and while I made very very very small headway into "revisions/editing" I've now the idea how to better that. So no worries on that front.

Also worth mentioning I will have my LA NOIRE review up by weeks end. Sometime between Fri-Sun. Look out for that.

And a surprise 999 (nine hours, nine persons, nine doors) review should be up shortly after that.


But a sneak peak for those on edge of Noire.

My initial reactions are good. While the heavy hand holding at the beginning was distracting once I was set loose, turned off all clue hints, and found my way to each investigation/interrogation I relished time spent inside post war LA. My only caveat to potential buyers would be lack of depth(read: things to do other then the terrific main missions) and overall length(again once you are done you may be done for good). While I believe DLC will relieve some of these pains I'm just worried this is a better investment as a rental or twenty dollar game. And because its a Rockstar game that may be a while.

Look forward to posting a full review soon!

As always,
Thanks for reading!
