Gaming Gumshoe

[Galaki]

Anyone caught that while playing Hotel Dusk?
I thought it was amusing seeing that name mentioned.
Cing is a Capcom fan?

...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.

Gumshoe is slang for a detective ...
I love Hotel Dusk's dialogs.

 

[Veho]

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...

 

[serious_sean]

it's common.

 

[unkadean]

This is a word that has been used a lot in the past in the United States. I do not know if it is common or used in other countries.

 

[Galaki]

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.

/hijack own thread

Did Gumshoe get officially fired from police force at the end of PW2? I don't remember the story giving much details into what happened to him afterward (due to him helping Pheonix too much.)

 

[Arkansaw]

nope, he never really gets fired, at least not when Edgey is still around

 

[MaHe]

Damn it, now you remembered me that Ace Attorney 3 won't be out until September.

 

[Veho]

You can always order the Japanese version

I think it's out already.

You can always order the Japanese versionÂ

I think it's out already.

The only version of Gyakuten Saiban 3 that's out in Japan is on the GBA, and it has no English option... and the recently release GS4 for the DS is also lacking English, those meanies...

1 and 2 spoiled me...

Now you have me wanting a NDS NES emu with touchscreen support for Gumshoe.
