I would think that after locking it in a drawer for six years, Gabriel Knight III would be dead from malnutrition. But when I opened the drawer yesterday it sprang out at me and devoured my weekend in a gulp, fresh as a morning daisy. Go figure. The Gabriel Knight series was one of the … Continue reading »

Two job interviews yesterday. The first was with a woman who looked a lot like Molly Shannon.
