The nice thing about a blog is that we can check when we blogged about stuff. I blogged about Michael Bedard in Au­gust 2007. I blogged about Ed­ward Hop­per about two weeks ago. Only now I get their con­nec­tion: Night Hawks/Win­dow Shop­ping. There is of course a Wikipedia page spoil­ing every­thing, but it just oc­curred to me. Just like af­ter play­ing GTA IV for 13 months, just yes­ter­day I no­ticed the play­er's char­ac­ter ac­tu­al­ly reach­es for the ra­dio in the car to change the ra­dio sta­tion when you change the ra­dio sta­tion. I didn't know that, I didn't ex­pect that, but these things are pleas­ant sur­pris­es tak­ing it to the next lev­el.
