Retrovued: Heavy Rain
After taking a look at the trailer for Beyond: Two Souls in last week’s trailer watch I got to thinking about David Cage and his studio Quantic Dream’s other projects.

Ramblings – Planned Obsolescence
Yesterday, my iPad broke. There was no warning, no telltale whirring, grinding or excessive dampness that accompanied it’s sudden demise. I was sitting, quite happily watching a youtube video when the screen went black. The backlight had decided two years was quite long enough to work and suddenly stopped; by this morning the screen was completely blank. My iPad was not coming back. I have been aware of the notion of “planned obsolescence” for some […]
