Team Bondi down under seems to be hiring again for a last push at finishing their 40's era interactive detective yarn, L.A. Noir. After an initial trailer a few months back nary a word's been spoke about it. I can only hope this thing is released in '09 as it looks fantastic. I'm anxious to piss off the district attorney, threaten folks with a gat, and start counting up red points.
More here.

Looks Aren't Everything, But Still Awesome
Yeah, so I haven't posted anything here for months...
Ideas with me are like that. They hit hard, but often have -38 stamina.
My ideas are not tanks. They're basically a lazy dps class.
So X-mas is over, and we've entered '09, and of course you're asking yourself, "what does this mean for a Noir mmo that doesn't exist?"
Well, I'll tell ya.
I might be watching a few inspirational flicks ... or I might not. I resolve to use this space exactly as I have been (or not, as it were).
See, for me the Noir 'genre' is like an item drop that doesn't quite have the stats you want, but is so cool-looking and hair-matchingly color-coordinated that you don't want to get rid of it. So it sits in your bank forever, and every now and then you pull it out to do crafting/gathering/exploring achievements, etc.
I predict that in the next few months I'll feel compelled to watch "The Big Sleep" again, or "Detour" or maybe "D.O.A.", and I'll be back here en force, mind engaged, to document the well-spring of Noirish mmoness that will inevitably pour forth.
Until then, happy Noir Year!
