Site Update!

I finally got the Driving Conversations section UP! Woo it took a while to get all those voice clips…I think I got them all but if I’ve missed any let me know 🙂

Now here’s something interesting!

Big thanks to Daniel Weissenberger for sending me this scan. In the Korean DP manual there’s some decorative Greevale newspaper clippings on the sides. In one of the clippings it’s implied that Brian “The Insomiac” was a victim of an hit and run accident. This is interesting because I always assumed he died during the Greenvale Massacre because if you complete the bone quest a marker appears that says Brian X with the death year 1956 which is when the original Raincoat Killer killed everyone.
