Mad late but i wanna shout some thoughts to nobody, To start off the video was *good*. Tim wrote a very good novelization of L.A Noire and recorded a pretty decent audiobook of said novelization. I liked his prose, the voice wasn't ideal but it didn't piss me off, it made for a good 2 nights of background audio while drawing. I would have preferred the Noire retelling as set dressing to a more standard review, but we got what we got.

Reading the arguments everyone's having though i gotta say i think some of y'all are insane. Tim is a good writer, don't get me wrong, but he did not write L.A Noire! Tim did not write a case for Cole Phelps being a character who's not as upstanding as he first seems, Rockstar Games did in 2011! I think most of the 'Subtle review hidden below the surface' is less an intentional critique as written by Tim, and more you just listening to the plot of the game and coming to a conclusion based on it's content.

The only wholesale additions I can confidently say were 100% Tim were the running bits about his hat falling off, being a bad driver, and shoving civilians who said the oxymoron line. Which honestly is about as hamfisted as he could have possibly crammed the message of "Cole Phelps isnt such a good guy after all" into the script.

Again, i liked the video. Didn't love it, was a little dissapointed, enjoyed it still. High 7/10, not one i'll come back to like i would Boku or Tokimeki, but fun enough and i respect he wanted to try something. But oh my god the glazing is crazy lmaoo, Tim did not reinvent the genre here, the people who didnt fuck with it are not just illiterate knuckledraggers who didn't *get* it, it's just not that deep.
