FINALLY, someone is speaking my language! So if Jeff & Co. during the Gamespot days were on equal footing with the original "Saved by the Bell," does that make Giant Bomb "Saved by the Bell: The College Years?" If so, I'm perfectly fine with that.

This is the best possible reason for leaving and I'm crazy happy that it's actually real. Austin getting the chance to run his own gaming site from the ground up with a larger company backing him is an absolute dream. I'm so happy for and proud of this man that I've never met!!!

@irishranger: Bummer! Here's to hoping we find something better down the road. Maybe the Gamestop version MikeFerrari7 mentioned will work for you. I have a white vita though, so I'm still on the hunt.

I'm pretty sure this is the same one. Here it is in black if that's your preference. I was planning on buying it myself once I saw it too, so I looked it up as soon as the stream was over. Unfortunately the grip covers seem to be built for the slims so I'm out of luck on that one. Hopefully my loss is your gain! Side note: The matching analog stick covers are here and here if you're interested.

Judging by the last interview Eve makes it sound like Simon didn't know they where actual twins when he began the affair. She said that he had no idea who she was but that he was fascinated by the likeness while also mentioning he never said he was married. This made me think he could've talked about how she looks exactly like someone he knew while not mentioning Hannah. It wasn't cheating for revenge because he didn't find out that they were twins and that Eve was pregnant until the night he died (their birthday). Hannah put the pieces together when she told him about her pregnant twin and the look on his face once he realized it was more than just a passing resemblance gave him away.

@mikemcn There's a clip or two where Eve talks about how shy Hannah was compared to her, which meant that Eve had to play the more confident aggressive role with the guys her sister liked and Hannah could still be her shy self when it was her turn. When Hannah fell in love with Simon however she refused to share.

Even if we pretend that the tattoo & the bruise didn't exist, I'm definitely going with the twin theory. The fact that Eve was in Glasgow when the murder happened and (thanks to her hospital visit) has proof that she was nowhere near the crime scene helped the twin theory for me. She even milks the alibi claiming that she can't be in two places at once. In a separate Eve interview (blue short sleeved shirt) they confront her about the time stamp of her speeding ticket conflicting with the time she was actually still at work. Once again being in two different places at once.

There's a moment in the final interview where Eve talks about their differences and mentions "some things one is better than the other at." She uses driving as an example with a teenage Hannah taking the test for both of them because she (Eve) almost crashed the car when she tried to take it. This felt like a subtle callback to the speeding ticket and small car accident in Glasgow truthfully being Eve while Hannah was back home committing the murder. On the flip side, murder was something that Eve seemed to excel at as she was able to kill both Florence and their birth parents without any suspicion thrown her way, while Hannah's attempt landed them in the middle of a full-blown murder investigation.

The last bit that cemented the twin theory for me was Eve's passion for diaries and her desire to keep "everyone on the same page." I can't speak to the actual experience of split personalities, but every time it's depicted in fiction there's never a need for the various personalities to be in cahoots with each other and keep their stories straight while they're having different experiences in the same body. In those cases each personality goes to great lengths to show how different they are from the last. Keeping a consistent story and using the diary as a script would definitely be necessary if two different people were pretending to be one.

Either way, I love the fact that there are enough red herrings on both sides that a debate is even possible. I enjoyed this game even more than I thought possible. Instead of breaking open Arkham Knight I was frantically typing in bizarre search terms at 3am. Also the actress did an amazing job across the board with her performance regardless of if she was portraying twins or a woman with split personalities. Rewatching the clips in order it's stunning how much she transforms while playing both Hannah & Eve.

An exclusive quote from Mya on the state of VR on GiantBomb.com is something I never thought I needed until this moment. Thank you Austin, thank you.

This is probably one of the few cases in which I'm totally fine with buying a collector's edition based on the soundtrack. No idea whether I'll actually enjoy playing the wrong number as much as the first, but between the tracks I've already heard & the presentation of the vinyl I'm already down for the second pressing.

This was pretty much the case for me as well. I switched from checking gamespot on a daily basis to following Jeff's blog while I waited for whatever was next. I didn't join until subscriptions were added because it seemed like the best possible way I could truly support a site that had given me years of hilarious & amazing content.

Okay, I'm completely new to the game and decided to start playing because watching Daily Dota without any frame of reference was making me crazy. I've played around 9 hours of co-op bot matches with a friend who's equally new to the genre and I've really been enjoying it (despite all of my accidental deaths). I've read some of the guides for new players & watched enough videos to have the basic concepts and lingo flowing through my brain without the full on strategic insight that I suppose comes with playing the game for longer.

My Steam ID is ShayLei so add me if you have saintly levels of patience or if you happen to be as bad as I am.
