It should be noted that the radio broadcast version has been noticeably cut down from the CD version due to time constraints.
It's a good story, one of BF's best so far IMHO, although their Welles impersonator isn't the best ever and as with so many British productions all the "Americans" tend to sound like they've been dipped in Boston Harbor.
I grew up there, and that's always been a local rumor. I think it's supposed to have actually been in the Guinness Book at some point.
True or not, anyone who's spent any time around the LIRR station wouldn't doubt it for a second.
Photorealism is good for certain types of games, but will never replace more stylized art. It will just add another choice to those telling the stories.
Take the analogy of cartoons - there are stories you can tell with modern animation techniques that would have been far less effective when the animation medium was in its infancy. Try to picture a "Ghost in the Shell," "Lion King," or "Ice Age" produced at the technical level of "Steamboat Willie."
Or compare games to films. (Stop groaning and let me finish, dammit.) Film as a popular medium has only been around for a little over a century. Video gmes as we know them have only had about a third of that time to evolve, but in both cases as the medium advances, so does the choices of ways in which it can be used to tell a story.
There will always be a place for black-and-white films, video without CGI effects, 2D cartoons, and games in which the characters don't look like a photograph.
Microsoft has promised additional encryption schemes for power users, including ig-pay atin-lay, leaving out every third word, and Navajo code talkers.
From TFA:
"Maruyama exuded confidence as he pointed out that there are over 100 games in development scheduled to launch by the end of January 2006."
Unfortunately, 97 of them are EA football games.
Sam and Max constantly battles with the Space Quest series for status as my favorite adventure game.
I have high hopes for this one.. but if they screw it up, heads will SO roll.

Worst PWAD ever.
Let's just be grateful he isn't a Sailor Moon fan instead.

..damn, I blew it.

Apparently, there was a lot of fooling around going on up there after all. Much of it didn't even require women.
I'll be filing an infringement lawsuit against these mosquitoes. The glowing bug schtick was ours first, dammit...
I read the headline quickly and thought they were interviewing a router. Now that would have been interesting.
They didn't mention the earlier test, when halfway there they ran out of gas, and had to turn around and go back.

That'd be an awesome name for a wrestler, or perhaps a pirate. "Brave men tremble before Brain Stem Jack!!!"
Are you looking for a fight, or perhaps a challenge?
Another rockin' performance by Disaster Area!
As a fellow lefthander, I salute you, sir! With my left hand, of course.
I had a credit card before I was 18.
Not yet, I'm currently devoting all my clock cycles to elderly Italian relatives' hand signals.

Just because I go around painted night-vision green and have awful taste in women, people go ahead and assume things...
And for heaven's sake son, take off those damn sunglasses when you're indoors and it's nighttime!
Maybe they work for Sony.
My right to not have to look at her every three clicks was seriously impinged upon for a week or two.
I was already tired of seeing her nude before the hack. That man owes me serious headspace.
