How to Fill Time Until Mad Men Season 5: LA Noire

Our favorite Senior VP of Accounts at Sterling Cooper, Ken Cosgrove, has been moonlighting as a detective in 1940s Los Angeles.  Apparently before he helped make such products as Glo-Coat and Seacore Laxatives a house hold name, he filled in as a gumshoe by gathering evidence against the Black Delia killer,  pulling bloody pipes out of garbage cans and questioning witnesses in a firm, yet polite manner.  As we wait for AMC to get their stuff together and finally renew the contract for Mathew Weiner's hit show, we can jump in to LA Noire for Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 17th.

LA Noire, published by Rockstar games, is going to revolutionize video game making forever. Developer Team Bondi has created a way to directly video record actors and rendering them in real time.   

"L.A. Noire represents a total break with conventional game development and animation.  Instead of recording dialogue, animating, and performing motion capture as separate steps of the process, Team Bondi (using technology developed by its sister company Depth Analysis) is capturing human performances just as a filmmaker would – except instead of generating movie footage, they come away with fully animated 3D models. It's a tremendously advanced process." - Game Informer
