DKII posted:I will certainly present it at every opportunity, but this prompt isn't one of them. Just to be sure I tried presenting it again both before and after this scene we left off at (doesn't seem to be a way to do so during the dialogue) and still got the standard "buzz off" lines. Alas, it will come in handy someday, I'm sure of it... As is Wright and proper!

achtungnight posted:Not to me. Then again, I suppose sense of humor can vary. But encouraging a pratfall in a game with limited lives just doesn’t make sense to me. Nor does it in real life. I'm using the badge as "I've played this game before, and want to show that I am engaged with the LP, but don't want to pretend I don't know the answer." That's not to say the badge is never the answer, but it's a comfortable default and it amuses me.

comicfan92 posted:To be fair, there are times where the killer might try to hide the actual murder method (because it might incriminate them specifically) by providing a more "obvious" murder weapon, so it's understandable that they don't want to verbally commit until the autopsy is done at least. Besides, you have to leave some wiggle room just in case Edgeworth wants you to make some "edits" to the official report.

Let's be honest, Maya is almost certainly in charge of all of the evidence and profiles, and Phoenix probably isn't listening anyway. She probably just wrote down "old bag" and Phoenix goes along with it. Leraika posted:Ah, it's the old bag. The correct reaction.

Samovar posted:I do love how when Miles gets taken aback he ends up looking so stressed. It's a strangely effective way to get you to feel sorry for him, despite him being a smarmy, tricksy bastard. It also makes it extremely satisfying to beat him even when he's "revising" evidence to win.

Is it just me, or is calling something a run-through in a case about a murder victim being stabbed to death somewhat concerning? Anyway, it's very clear that to proceed, Phoenix needs to implicate himself somehow in order to get Powers declared not guilty. After all, he does have a keycard, and he could have used his rapier wit to skewer the victim!

To be fair, the kid apparently gets in via a little drain cover as well, so the it's already established that the kid can go where the adults can't. I don't think Maya could fit through that, let alone Windbag, Powers, or Sal. He's also a lot more willing to get dirty to move around, where the adults are meeting with executives (and probably don't want to explain errant foliage in their clothes) or are wearing costumes (and thus don't want to damage the costume, especially for a rehearsal).

There's often some implication in his dialogue (one of the first investigation scenes in the law office, for instance) that there's more than one person checking out the scene and Gumshoe is the point person that we're interacting with while he leads a team of investigators.

Nidoking posted:It's all about doubt. Why would they eat the steaks and then throw the bones in the incinerator? Also worth noting that the lower ranked employees didn't clean their plates up (likely the staff that would have done so weren't allowed back in time after the area was declared a crime scene), so there's no expectation that the higher-ups, especially those in an important meeting with limited time to eat (Powers had enough time to nap, after all) would have cleaned them up. In a more sane world it would be extremely weird for everyone involved to not have cleaned up their plates and put them somewhere to be taken away, but this is Japanafornia and anything goes. Also, if they had actually cleaned their plates off using the incinerator, the plates would almost certainly be stacked together with the silverware on them.

Where was the steel samurai costume during all of this? I would think it would have absorbed a lot of the blood and maybe have been incinerated as a result, but then it would have been hard to say WP was the killer if the costume was missing. And even if it was available and not covered in blood, who did the patch job to fix the hole in the chest?

Gosts posted:I always thought it would have made sence if Edgeworth showed a bit more outrage at phoenix suddenly being accused in trial 2. Like. "what the gently caress...?" Surely he knew that was absurd from the get-go, right? You have to remember that prosecutors have a lot of political pressure on them, so whatever Edgeworth thinks in private he can't necessarily say out loud during trial. But it is fairly clear that that whole process had an effect on the guy.

I don't know what the big deal is. Without Edgeworth, that leaves the only other prosecutor as Winston Payne, and he's a pushover. This case will be done a couple of hours into the first day of court, tops! In all seriousness, this is a fantastic case and I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

fatsleepycat posted:The California system takes this to an extreme. You get put into one group of many (think 10-20 per day), and then the night before you call in or check a website and they tell you whether your group might have to show up at the courthouse. If your group is potentially needed, you check again in the late morning to confirm whether you actually have to show. Once you get there I think there's one more round of winnowing based on how many trials settled or dropped charges at the last second before the regular selection process kicks in with the attorneys. The nice thing is that if you don't get called, I think it's 5 days of checking in before you're considered to have finished jury duty. If you do get called in, you're considered to have finished jury duty whether or not you actually were called into a courtroom or served on a jury.

You'd think defending the Steel Samurai himself would have landed Wright some money to make rent. I'm not sure if they imply that he takes on other cases to keep the lights on between the major ones or not though.

His partner slips silently into the room and slides into the corner. He leans back against the wall and there is the quiet hiss of a match as he lights a cigar.

achtungnight posted:This plot is getting a bit convoluted and confusing in my opinion. Hope they tie everything together at some point. Ah, it can't be that convoluted! Our rival (who has some unspecified relationship to the protagonist) and friend? may have shot someone on a boat in the middle of a lake that had its own loch ness monster show up except that the loch ness monster was actually just an air tank fired off by an airhead and that event brought in a sightseer/conspiracy theorist with a camera who then took an automatic photo of the scene when the gun was fired, but it turns out that there was another gunshot beforehand and also that the gun was fired 3 times, not 2, and all of that lead us to talking to the boat caretaker who has a parrot and who is apparently senile and thinks that phoenix is his kid and wants to run a noodle shop. Also DL-6. No idea what that is, but hey, it exists and is important somehow. Maybe? Who knows. It was a long time ago, after all. Oh and the prosecutor is a prick and is our rival/friend's former mentor who loves to hide evidence, fake evidence (allegedly!), and badger witnesses into not revealing crucial information. So we have that going for us as well.

There's a lot of wackiness in the series. Butz (just all of Butz), the pun names, Redd White, literally bringing dead characters back via spirit mediums, the Steel Samurai, Oldbag, Gumshoe and his array of gadgets, etc. And hell, now we strongly suspect that Von Karma has something to do with the murder and he even tazed the main characters and stole vital evidence! And you think you're ready for just about anything. Then Phoenix requests to cross-examine a parrot. The games are absolutely wonderful, and the best part is that it's not even out of left field! The parrot was introduced. We know the parrot has relevant info. It's Chekhov's parrot. And the writers had the chops to actually take the parrot off of the metaphorical wall!

To be fair, the judge okayed the use of the metal detector for that reaction, not surgery. It's noninvasive, and the only issue would be if Von Karma had a pacemaker or similar implanted medical device, which he could disclose in private with the judge if necessary. Surgery is particularly more thorny, but the judge doesn't specifically allow it - Karma confesses before the judge needs to make a call one way or the other.

Omobono posted:The big mystery of the series. I think the answer is yes, but not much. He still has the office, and we know Grossberg also has an office, so defense lawyers do get paid. Presumably Phoenix is also doing some boring cases of little note between the big cases as well to keep the lights on. He's certainly not wealthy, but he's not starving either. Presumably as his reputation rises, he'll get more high profile folks who will pay him more, but we'll see how his financial situation pans out as the series progresses.

Truthkeeper posted:I think the object investigation stuff might be Nintendo's fault, rather than the developers'. Remember that the DS port of this game, which introduced this case, was fairly early on in the DS lifecycle, when Nintendo was still demanding that every game made for it had to heavily feature THE GAME-CHANGING REVOLUTIONARY NEW TOUCH SCREEN TECHNOLOGY! There were a lot of games around then that had unnecessary touchscreen gimmicks forced in to appease the great and terrible N. I always found it amusing when game devs would put something like forcing the player to move the stylus in a circle as fast as possible. Just the fastest way to scratch the poo poo out of your bottom screen.

Honestly he's one of the better "villain" turned good characters in fiction in my opinion.
