First time playing this game. I'm loving it. The high rating is clearly very deserved. As I finish episode 1, I'm rather perplexed by a few things from the newspaper.
The first of which is that apparently Brad from Sublime is either writing from beyond the grave, giving a new meaning to ghost-writing, or he faked his death just prior to his band absolutely blowing up but still decided to keep his job as a local reporter, not even a syndicated columnist.
My second concern is that the date on the paper is wrong. September 10 was a Friday in 1999. I know, because I was there, and it was a memorable day. Now, maybe MC is in a parallel universe where the calendar got set up differently, but still seems odd.
Third, is that $1 seems a little high for a single-copy weekday price in 1999. Maybe NYC or London (obv not in dollars) would have prices like that, but I don't think the LA Times even started charging 50 cents until sometime in 2001.
