Seeking self-actualization; avoiding the stagnant creativity of the 9 to 5. There has to be something better.
I like writing. I like games. This is my avenue to explore, probe and indulge in these passions.

Though the title reflects on the dark, grimy scum encountered in the City of Angels, the ideology and evolution that L.A. Noire brings to the table is as white and pure as everyone’s favorite nose candy.

"Thank you for this! I tried to list games I needed to play in a spreadsheet once, but the options I listed in there were still too overwhelming! I just forced myself through Dunegon Siege 3, and I can at least feel good that I finished something recently."

"Bring a damn Golden Sun character into the fray! And I mean a playable one!"

"I...I...don't know how to feel about this. I haven't been interested in a Nintendo home console in a long, long time. Yet...this...hmm."

"I think I see your point. I'd be quite curious to see this game operating without any of its game mechanics. I personally don't have a problem with the curve balls that this game seems to throw your way at times (such as accusing the wrong person). This only adds to the real-world notion that shit doesn't always work out how it should. Cole shouldn't be seen as some hero that cleans up Hollywoodland (even if the game tries to do otherwise). Sure, I feel like an ass when I "fail" a case, but I learned to embrace that feeling pretty quickly and improve on the next case. Having my boss make me feel like an idiot is a pretty thrilling experience!
Thoughtful piece of work here, sir. "

"Just wanted to say that I agree 100% with you. Gaming will never transcend its current state by sticking to the same mandate it has followed for the past few generations. Evolution seems to be feared in this industry, yet change will always be at the forefront of progression. Stories in games today are just pure shit; maybe that's why L.A. Noire is so refreshing? The facial fidelity of the characters themselves really adds to the narrative that Team Bondi is presenting to its audience. While it may not be the end all experience, L.A. Noire is certainly a step in the right direction of what I'm expecting from my future games."
