Recurse has a paperback under one leg, a strategy guide under the other, and a secondary screen that looks like a news ticker had a baby with a police bulletin board—still forensic, just overfed on input.</em></p><![CDATA[The night before the next episode: pizza, one screen, and too many opinions about anime.
