Holy crap, you totally blindsided me! What a random and completely awesome thing to do!

So today I find a thick envelope in the mail, apparently from the United Kingdom. Fearing a trap, had my dog smell it for signs of anthrax or syntex.

Convinced it was not death, I opened it up to find the biggest suprise I have had in a long time:

Discworld Noir. That's right bitches, an interactive video game from Terry Pratchett :cool

I really have no idea what I've done to deserve this, and I am quite honestly flabbergasted.

Thank you Jenny! :love

So you lied? You really didn't like the anthrax I got you?

Very nice work, Jenny! That's just like the present I bought Christin a few years ago... and then prompty never sent to her. You just see something that's perfect for someone else...

Oh, and the present I got/lost for Christin is actually nothing like Discworld Noir.

Good job, Jen! :)

What is this crazy game you people speak of?

Discworld Noir. It's like every Noir cliché, from every Noir movie, rolled into one... only set on the Discworld. You're a private eye, hired by a busty broad to investigate a murder... and the plots unfolds (and unravels) from there! :D

I can only imagine how sweet that game is, considering I jsut picked up The Art of Discworld.

I'll actually have to read one of the books one of these days.

This one has a much darker, drier sense of humour than the first two. It also moves away from the cartoon-y feel, since that obviously wouldn't fit the Noir theme. IMO, the Ahnk-Morpork of Discworld Noir looks pretty spot on to how I imagine the city being in the books.

The game is sweet - lots of fun, and everything is really detailed. It's much tougher than your average point and click, too, I found. You really do have to think about the problems inventively.

I wish i still had that game, but I took it back to the shop when it had a glitch whenever I tried to use my notebook. I loved the things the character said when you clicked on things such as clicking on the coffee machine and he'd say "Nothing like a cup of coffee to make me jittery and paranoid."
