      That's what I loved about all those L.A. Noire VR no commentary videos. The game is so much more hilarious when you see the protag do something funny and just give an "OK" symbol with their hand or make finger guns. Silent comedy is a lost art.

      7 hour war occured in 1997. Russel looks to be in his 30s, we're somewhere in 2000s - the ages check out, he was a 20-something nerd.
      There was no Wikipedia, no Google, but there already was a couple websites, a whole bunch of porn and encyclopedic information. He might be the kind of nerd who got that PC-to-VHS connector and stored the internet, 4GB at a time, on old VHS tapes (since hard disks were still really expensive)

  • @cupofspiders5830

    “It’s unloaded now!”
    “Oh almost forgot, guns need ammo!”
    “O-oh, I could... could pause the feed...”
    _”Just looking, Russ.”_
    “Well does it have a skull and crossbones on it?”
    “Nova Prospekt is the torture place. That’s where they’re gonna torture him. So he’s fine. Logically.”
    his computer also has *the* best screensaver ever

    I’m very happy you’re playing this! I had yet to find a proper playthrough in which people don’t talk too damn much, in where they focus enough on the story and keep moving on but also take enough time to show the environment. And you’re giving JUST that! I think your videos will be the best way for me to get the most accurate experience for the game, which I likely won’t get to play myself! So thanks very much. (One tiny tiny request tho, you cut out a small parts every now and then for the pace, but I would honestly like it more without any cuts whatsoever. Makes the video generally flow better)
