That would be great, but I&#8217;m already in the middle of a big writing push and I can&#8217;t stop to work on either one of them. So my only hope is to power through this project as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n<p><strong>12:26 Sound Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, that was alarming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16:11 British Panel Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Would I Lie to You<\/em>, <em>QI<\/em>, and <em>8 out of 10 Cats<\/em> are the ones I&#8217;ve discovered so far.

When the usage of either of them is justifiable\/preferable? For example &#8211; would voiced protagonist improve System Shock 1\/2, and what will it look like? Would removal of the voice of JC Denton make Deus Ex much worse? Do you have examples on your own to ponder on that question?<\/p>\n<p>With best regards, DeadlyDark<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>40:12 Prey Ending<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast,<\/p>\n<p>I finished Prey (2017) for the first time a few days ago. I loved it,<br \/>\ndespite some flaws. I know you wrote a couple of posts on it back when<br \/>\nit came out, but would you mind discussing it a bit more, especially the<br \/>\nstory? I&#8217;m curious what you thought about the ending twist; I liked it<br \/>\nbut can see why some might not.
