Those of you who follow me regularly know that I always like to do something special on April 1st. Since I could hardly delay a Monday update to Friday, I decided to do something completely unrelated which I incidentally have wanted to do for literal years now.

:allears: You better do the rest of LA Noire like this now!

I once had an LP video flagged by Youtube because a character hummed a few bars from Ride of the Valkyries. I wouldn't feel to sure if I was you, Bobbin...

Seriously? Who was doing the humming? Van Canto?

I'm translating a 1970's Russian story in which one of the heroes quotes / banters "Работай негр, солнце еще высоко!". There's nothing about the character that's meant to be racist, but it's impossible to maintain the literal meaning in English without bringing in that implication.

What does it mean, for those of us who don't speak Russian?

Maybe they were lying low? I mean, the war was just 2 years ago.

And the IRS destroyed the 39-42 tax records of most of the detainees so there was no proof of their previous net worth, making reparations difficult to impossible.

Why would they do that? Just sounds needlessly vindictive. Hell, it sounds like a law enforcement nightmare- if any of them were on Hirohito's take, then surely comparing the tax records to other things (like shopping purchases and transaction records) would make it easier to prosecute them.

The worrying thing is that apparently the LAPD at the time is an improvement over when one James Davis was running the department.

This is an amazing pro-click, and I want to name my kid Clifford Clinton now.

Count me in as someone who didn't mind the colour change, but hated the audio fuckery :(

I kind of like the Stout Scarab- it's got that 'cute-ugly' look the Bug has, only in greater quantities :3:

What is the car Mapes (and later Cole) drove? I know Biggs doesn't like it, but I think it looks stylish as gently caress.

Roger Rabbit never gave me nightmares, even as a kid, but to this day I still can't watch that scene where Doom dissolves the shoe in Dip without turning away or closing my eyes at some point. That poor little thing just wanted to be friends :cry:

Well Bobbin, it seems you need to revise your opinion of the most disturbing onscreen death :v:

Also, rewatching the video, it really is ridiculous just how much better the chemistry between Kelso and Elsa is. Why wasn't Kelso's actor chosen for Cole's role?

My big question is whether or not it'll be a lecture series, because to me that's a bigger selling point than any number of playstyles.

I'd like to second that. I often listen to that LP in the background as I do other stuff and just listen to the lectures.

Same here; if anything I wish Bobbin made playlists of only his lectures :allears:
