    L.A. Noire's ending wraps up well?

    Seriously Ariel? Seriously? ;)

    I'm laughing that I've been listening to the show since the 1upyours days, and this is what makes me finally come on and comment. But I found myself literally shouting at my iphone when she made that statement.

    I thoroughly enjoyed L.A. Noire--it was a great experience. But it is the poster child for an enjoyable game with an unsatisfying ending. I had to go look up online after I finished the game to make sure I didn't get some sort of alternate, terrible ending. I've had to come to terms with the fact that it fits in with the noire genre of literature in general, but just because it's genre correct doesn't mean it wraps up well.

    Love Ariel, love the show, but don't string Jeff along like that! :P

    Grats to the whole crew on your 100th episode! here's to 100 more!
