late night (early morning?) thought but my god I love the foreshadowing/lampshading in Not For Broadcast's script. like it's one of those things where you're not really going to see it coming at first but if you've already seen the entire plot and are rewatching it, they clearly point between it and the player like "eh? eeeeehh???".

example in that The Heatwave's final segment looks like it came out of almost nowhere on a blind playthrough unless you're paying attention to the other screens and reading the subtitles, but looking back at the other screens in Rushes afterwards (and also for previous days' other screens/Rushes, see The Election and The Silence), you can just see all the writing on the Advance-funded walls of the newsroom. the main plot of Advance vs Disrupt is good, but the National Nightly News and its casters is what really drives the story forward.

#not for broadcast #not for broadcast game #spark talks about nothing of relevance #don't mind me i'm just obsessing over niche video games again #sometimes a gcse drama film festival knockoff being broadcasted and edited on live air alongside political war #is something that can be SO personal ��#left plot points intentionally vague to avoid spoilers #jeremy donaldson #is the only REAL motherfucker out here and i respect this fictional man SO MUCH #edit: ALSO - yes this was in a coma dream but @ the lockdown:#Jeremy's face when the psychic starts talking about the events of The Heatwave?#that's boredom -> hey what the fuck -> WHAT does this lady know about me -> UHHH #alex winston saw Jeremy and really said that man's gonna be in a Situation soon #putting aside the coma dream thing: jeremy knows how frustrated he's been with work since The Election #he probably saw what was coming too and tried to brush it off and deny it but nah!#you're in dystopian britain mate and you HATE it!!!
