GeekParty: At a glance, Twin Peaks looks like a by-the-numbers murder mystery. There’s the beloved dead girl, the small town full of suspects, and the detective who’s determined to crack the case. It’s a story that’s been told time and time again, with little variation.
But the show is far, far weirder than it initially appears to be. Twin Peaks exists in a world where women talk to logs and people break into dance for no discernible reason. The pie is delicious, and the coffee is damn fine (unless there’s a fish in the percolator). In the day, people invent silent drape-runners, and at night, they dream about dwarves who speak backwards.
Pathologic is sadly lacking in dancing dwarves, but it’s got eccentricity to spare.
Neil writes: "If you're an Xbox Game Pass subscriber then chances are you'll rarely be bored by your gaming exploits for there are a whole host of games being added to the scheme on a massively regular basis. Today that digital library increases once more as Pathologic 2 arrives on Xbox One, debuting on the Game Pass in the process."
On this week's episode of Second Opinion Spotlights (formerly Second Opinion Shorts), the good doctor takes on Pathologic.
HPP: Pathologic is a difficult game to write about. It's a difficult game to play! And like all difficult things, both should be attempted at least once.
Which reminds me, Twin Peaks is coming back in 2016.
Someone didn't play Deadly Premonition.
