So I was reading the Toronto edition of Metro today on the bus. when I came across this story about Hurricane Gustav.It was the first test of New Orleans’ new and improved levees, which are still being rebuilt three years after hurricane Katrina. And it was a powerful demonstration of how federal, state and local officials learned some of the painful lessons of the catastrophic 2005 storm that killed 1,600 people.“They made a much bigger deal out of it, bigger than it needed to be,” 31-year-old security worker Gabriel Knight said in New Orleans’ nearly empty French Quarter.
“I was here with Katrina. That was a nightmare.
“This was nothing.”
Gabriel Knight? Really? Does the AP reporter even know that Gabriel Knight was the name of a fictional New Orleans detective from the Sierra game back in the early nineties? And is it just coincidence that both Mr. Knights are 31 years old and work in the security field?
Apparently, the Schattenjäger is alive and well in the French quarter....or someone is making shit up and stealing from the video game industry.
I am so e-mailing Jane Jensen.
