so it appears that the voice of the burned man, keith szarabajka, is also the same voice of hershel biggs, your partner at the arson desk in LA noire... he's got a distinct raspy voice, sounds like the perfect choice for the burned man... just read the NMA review... damn you hackers!! i want to play this NOW!! ...

open the map and press i think R1 or L1, it will highlight the street crimes on your map, then set a marker for the destination... the red ones are yet to be done... and some of desks have night time crimes as well so you'll have to wait out the night cycle...

the first ever NASCAR sponsor, CRAWLAKILL INSECT SPRAY... i made a $100/win, it was nice... actually, this is part of a bench that stuck to the car just right... it fell off as soon as i took the picture ... collected all the film reels, some were hidden in clever spots, some were hidden in obvious spots that pissed me off when i finally found it... also discovered all landmarks, and only have arson left to 5-star... also only need to find about a dozen cars... i almost have this beast finished ... but i'll have to work on a couple of trophies that aren't part of the 100% process as well...

you might be on to something...

yea, i think the add-on cases will be a part of the desks you've already played... and if i am not mistaken, the upcoming DLC will involve new desks, which probably fit somewhere in between traffic and homicide.. after all, there is this "6 months later" screen in between those desks... one was "robbery" but i forgot what the other one was... my synopsis on the ending and a mini-review; i give it an 8/10...

thanks dup, i will be using that for the film reels... possibly tonight if i am not bothered by friends... i am trying to 100% this soon, because i got a friend that wants to borrow it ... hopefully the store comes back soon so i can play the DLC cases before i loan it out...

the only black person i remember not arresting or killing was the one that found the bloody car down by the train tracks in the first homicide case... the rest are in the slammer ...

dope you say?? hmm, this news would please both delilah and bones... both partake in chems every now and then...

replayed "the black caeser" case... there's something funny i noticed during the replay;

yea, i work with said fanboys... all i have heard for the past couple of days is the new MW3 trailer, and when i was at the midnight launch for LA noire that's all anyone talked about... when i was paying for LA noire before midnight, the guy told me i could get a free poster with my pre-order of MW3... i told him no thanks, he said it's an awesome poster, i told him i don't play call of duty, and he looked at me like i told him his parents were dead... seriously, the fact that EVERYONE plays it, makes me not want to ever buy it... instead someday in the future i will enjoy the visuals of the single player when i rent it for a couple of nights... i still haven't even played MW2, world at war, and black ops... i am in no rush either... i'll give credit where credit is due, i thought the launch trailer was badass, but all i saw was homefront 2.0 and crysis 2 all rolled into one... nothing blew me away but it was the premise of WW3 and the music that made the video dramatic... that is all... play crysis 2 if you want to play an awesome invasion game, that actually feels different than every other shooter on the market...

fallout new vegas DLC, "honest hearts" was suppose to come out on the 17th...

fuck it then... i give up on following this story, it'll come back when it does and when it does i will not care because i will probably still have to wait on the may 17th update anyways...

it's rumored to go back up today, it hasn't been official... apparently PS+ services are back up so i guess that's the sign that the network is about to go live...?? dunno...

so i guess the store is suppose to come back today??? whatever, i probably still have to wait a couple more weeks to get honest hearts, the only thing i got pissed about when the network went down...

i would love to but i have to pass... i provided a few helpful guides for RDR but last year i had more free time... this year, i don't think i have the time to write a guide... sorry, and i just finished the street crimes last night too ... i don't think i want to play them all again in the next week to write a guide... but i would love to use your guides for the film reels, landmarks and vehicles... maybe by the time i wrap up 5-starring the cases you'll have these guides ready... sorry i can't help this time around...

5-starred the homicide desk... and had a funny glitch happen... while arresting someone, instead of putting the suspect in the paddy wagon, they placed him on the hood of his broke-ass car, then the driver's door of the paddy wagon opens with no one around... lol, i am assuming the animation spawned about 10 feet behind the camera ...

my good guy, bones, is level 35... my evil chick, delilah, is 32... and poor sanchez is still back at level 19... at least from the sound of things, this DLC is much easier than dead money, which might interest me in playing through it a 3rd time to try out the crafting recipes and generally to see what it would be like to play it on hardcore... and maybe when i get back, i'll be ready for dead money... because as of right now, sanchez is not even close to being ready for dead money... it's a good thing that honest hearts is easier... i would hate to start a new file and have to wait until i reach level 20+ before i could even attempt them... in fallout 3, the pitt and operation anchorage were early level add-ons, and think obsidian should keep with that mentality and keep old world blues slightly easy... i fully expect lonesome road to be as tough as dead money...

i found the blue hell... unfortunately it's more of a grayish blue ...

i just replayed the butterfly case before i went golfing today...

yea, there are some interesting suspects at the homicide desk... there is so much going on at once that it's easy to cloud your judgement and make wrong accusations... i am finding that out when i replay just how wrong i was on a couple of missions...

that's what i thought when i unlocked it... there's a couple of mafia looking outfits... well to update my current game, i am 81% complete, 65-some vehicles driven, 32 police calls answered, 15 landmarks discovered, 47% of the trophies collected (half of the remaining are DLC ones), still 0 film canisters found, all of traffic cases 5-starred, and 2 homicide cases with 5-stars... yup...

having some pork chops at joe's diner on sunset blvd...

i just got one, what do i do with it?? drive real fast until it catches fire?? is there a garage to take it to?? EDIT: nevermind... it just unlocks the location... i can get it whenever i want now ...

carruthers is one cool customer... one of the best characters in the game... he takes his job serious, but also has a laid back approach, as if he's seen it all and nothing during LA noire surprises him... i am going trophy hunting today... time to get back to LA and see what i can accomplish today...

well i conquered the land of hollywoodland... and i didn't get 95% of the clues but now that i am looking at the cases and my scores i can see why... i was bombing missions early on... but beside that it was a fun ride, and full of detective goodness all the way thru... there wasn't one single moment where i didn't feel like LA's finest in this timepiece... playing this game with a buzz of any sort made it that much more challenging to decipher the evidence and dialog provided to you... i had to put the bowl down a few times to work thru an interview... sure you can beat this game blowing every possible question and searching for the bare minimum, but where's the fun in that?! search the area, stop for a moment to review the clues before an interrogation, gather your thoughts and challenge the witness when you feel the need to, and always always remember that you've got a case to solve... that being said, i did manage to ignore the side stuff for the most part... didn't jack a single hidden car, jacked maybe 10 altogether... answered 3 police scanner calls, found 12/13 newspapers, 0/50 film reels, and basically stuck to the main story... now that all cases are unlocked i will head back and do some stuff different to better the scores... it was a fun game all the way to the end, it just kept evolving all the way... the simple basic rules were always there but the game in and around those rules kept you on your toes most of the time... play this, rent if you must... i beat it in 4 nights, but i see plenty of wasted hours ahead searching for cars and helping out fellow pigs...
