That, and the reason DNA testing can take so long is because of the massive amount of samples coming into the lab everyday. Justified in that it would be a bit dull watching the characters sit around waiting for DNA tests. ![]() In real life, they can sometimes take up to 12 weeks. In the series, DNA tests apparently take a few days, tops. The police attempt to track the call, but it turns out that it was made from another payphone. Anonymous Public Phone Call: "Snipers Nest" Adrian Turner calls a payphone at the sight of his latest killing, simply for no other reason than to boast how they had no hope of catching him.He regularly verbally abuses and threatens his weak-willed alcoholic mother (who was also abused by Craig's father), and eventually ended up teaming up with the deranged Adrian Turner to kill his father (though it was in retaliation for his father abusing him). Abusive Offspring: The twist of "Snipers Nest" is revealing that sixteen year old Craig Cross abuses his mother rather than the other way around.The '90s: The first four or so seasons took place then.Like Waking the Dead (which predates CSI as well), it is done in two-parters, with each story shown over two days in the same week. The series now revolves around the activities of three (later four) Home Office pathologists (Nikki Alexander, Jack Hodgson, Thomas Chamberlain and Clarissa Mullery as of the 2014 series) as they investigate murders in London, though they sometimes help outside the city and at least one story per season will usually feature them going abroad.Ĭould be considered a UK version of the CSI franchise, but lacks its flashiness (although it has elements of the wider investigating role) it also predates it. Starred Amanda Burton for the first eight series, until her character was written out in a plot involving a reunion with a Long-Lost Relative and a trip to Northern Ireland. TL DR: Unless you eat puzzle games for breakfast and don't mind paying 40$ for a nicely designed island with difficult puzzles scattered around, with not even any music playing (which really sucks the fun out of solving a puzzle), you probably won't enjoy this game.British crime/forensic series, running from 1996 onwards, making it the fourth oldest currently airing crime drama in the world and the longest that isn't German ( Tatort is the winner, the German show having run since 1970). The Witness feels like a free online puzzle game with an obligatory, heavily overpriced HD graphics DLC. But TTP at least had unique gameplay that felt interesting and engaging. All throughout, I kept comparing TW to The Talos Principle - both have exceptionally pretty visuals, puzzles that feel disconnected from the narrative, and fauxlosophical babble. Worse still, the puzzles themselves don't even feel like something unique to the game. The game keeps throwing more and more puzzles at you in ridiculous amounts, and there is no real reward for doing them outside of maybe some short-lived satisfaction. Solved a puzzle? Here, have some more puzzles! Or rarely, a recording of some philosophical babble that is devoid of context. ![]() What's worse is that there is no real incentive to keep solving the puzzles. I didn't figure THIS out until I looked it up in a walkthrough. Like that one puzzle where you're supposed to divide the board into groups of two stars. And sometimes, a puzzle TRIES to explain its rules to you, but fails. But do you know what's worse? The rules of some of the puzzles are not even explained! Or if they are, then the "startup" versions of them are so well-hidden that you are more likely to come across the hard ones first, and be unable to figure out what kind of answer they want from you. So yeah, the puzzles' difficulty ramps up pretty damn fast. After a few days of failed attempts to continue playing it, I officially throw the towel and conclude that The Witness isn't a game I can find enjoyable. I really wanted to give The Witness a chance, but despite my best efforts, I simply couldn't play the game for more than 1 hour a day before it was starting to just get on my nerves. And when a puzzle game keeps giving me hard puzzles after hard puzzles, with no breaks in-between, I become more and more frustrated and eventually just plain angry. ![]() Whenever a puzzle game starts getting harder and throwing more difficult puzzles at me, I tend to get stuck very fast. I must state right away: I do not consider myself a very intelligent person. ![]() VideoGame A game only for the very patient and very intelligent people.
