There where still a couple of bit's left - the presence of the mechanical fake owl in the office for instance. But I don't think that if Deckard followed Wilburism and called in a fake vet to care for his malfunctioning sheep then it would be quite as easy for the audience to question his authenticity.
The whole fake police thing would have been pretty difficult to translate to the movie format as well - interesting when it got there though.
For the true lack of the Philip K. Dick spirit you probably have to go to Total Recall - surprisingly good film but not really in touch with "We'll Remember It For You Wholesale".
PS For the ultimate exploration of his mind have you read "I Am Alive and You Are Dead" by Emmanuel Carrere? Now out in paperback, £5.39 from Amazon UK. Reading it late at night almost managed to convert me to a new religion...
I do like Edge magazine, really, I do. It's the one computer magazine I buy regularly, partly because it treats me like an adult and partly because I suspect Charle Brooker still writes anonymously for it. (In fact not only is it the only current computer games magazine for mature adults, but is it the only computer games magazine ever written for mature adults?)
But I'm sorry, I like you, I really do "It's not often a game comes along that uses division to create its cohesion" - what the Fuck?
The game itself looks quite interesting, as far as I can tell despite the complete absence of detail in the article it's some sort of anime based MMORPG. Can anyone comment further?
PS I love the first comment to this article "What is this faggot shit" - isn't it so sweet when 13 year olds get their first computer and take to the basement for the very first time.
I really missed the Voiceover when I watched the directors cut, there was more meat to the "was Deckard a replicant" theory but I felt that it lost some of the 1940's detective movie in the future grittiness.
The first time I watched the original version I was watching it in Black and White and could almost have seen Humphrey Bogart playing the lead.
Still I'm definately going to get it - I only hope that there's some stuff on Philip K. Dick there, I've seen one or two fascinating TV documentaries on him.
