L.A Noire Cocktail and more game drinks!

In December last year, Keith Stuart of The Guardian asked James Dance, owner of stylish Falmouth bar and video game arcade Loading, to create six new cocktails, based on 2011′s biggest game titles. Of course one of the games that got a special made cocktail was Rockstar Games L.A Noire.

The L.A Noire Cocktail
Truth, Lie, Stout

Solve the case of the Black Russian by interrogating this tasty mix of Kahlua, vodka and Guinness.

What you’ll need
Kahlua
Vodka
Guinness (“We use the bottles of Guiness original,” says James)

To reflect Rockstar’s stylish noir thriller, we wanted a sophisticated, smooth drink with a classic feel, and an edge of darkness about it. Truth, Lie, Stout – based around the three responses that lead character Cole Phelps can make during interrogation sequences – is the result. Take your choice of glass and start with 25ml measures of Vodka and Kahlua, then top up with Guinness. “You should stir before drinking to move the booze around,” adds James.

An interesting concoction indeed! Check out this youtube video of Tipsy Bartender where they try it out!

This drink is without a doubt one of my favorites when it comes to mixing Guinness with something else. It’s really smooth. /TipsyBartender

R* San Diego hiring AI Programmer for Open World Game

Rockstar San Diego, developer of 2010′s GOTY Red Dead Redemption is now hiring an AI Programmer to work on “helping create the best open world experiences, and push the limits of Artifical Intelligence in areas such as pathfinding, combat, and decision-making.”

Rockstar San Diego is best known for their hit racing series “Midnight Club” and the western “Red Dead” series.
Considering the fact that Red Dead Redemption was such a critically acclaimed game, and that the job listing names pathfinding, combat and decision-making as key focus points for said AI Programmer, this could very well be early hints that San Diego is working on a sequel to, or spiritual successor of 2010′s Red Dead Redemption.
Either that or they’re taking the Midnight Club series in an unexpected new direction.

Which series would you rather see a sequel to?
