...I'm going to guess you're a bit on the young side?
Gumshoe is a term for detective... so is dick.
Dick Gumshoe is a play on those terms, and "gumshoe" being mentioned in Hotel Dusk is most certainly a straight up colloquialism, not a reference to our favorite underpaid PW character.
SO that's a piece of archaic slang, but not so archaic to be used by Humphrey Bogart?
I've heard: private eye, dick, snoop, flatfoot, sleuth, bloodhound, bird dog, dog, and several more I can't remember, but I've never heard "gumshoe" before...
I am not much of a detective, no clue on all the slangs flying around.
So, Dick Gumshoe, I assumed that was simply a name.

they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
