The film takes place before and after the two Death Note films and shows Death Note fans the more human side of the legendary detective L not seen in previous entries. The story begins as L takes on the Kira case in which countless criminals are mysteriously dying of sudden heart attacks. L leaves his headquarters in Los Angeles and travels to Japan, for he believes with a 97% certainty that the killer is in Japan, and he also predicts that he may have to risk his life to solve the case. In Japan, L teams up with another young genius named Light Yagami, who is in fact Kira himself, and discovers the existence of the Death Note, a notebook belonging to a god of death; whoever s name is written in the notebook dies. L solves the case and brings justice back to the world but loses his partner Watari and only has 23 days left to live.
In the short span of time he has left, as L continues to solve unsolved cases from around the world, he receives a gift left behind by Watari a young boy with an SD card. L discovers that this boy is the sole survivor of a mysterious epidemic that hit a small village in Thailand and suspects that this epidemic is not a natural occurrence, but something man-made and evil. Around the same time, L meets Maki, a young girl looking for Watari for help. Her father, a scientist at the Infectious Disease Center of Asia, had given her the key to solving this case before he died. With Maki and the boy, L goes up against a bio-terrorist group responsible for creating a deadly virus ten times more fatal than Ebola, and as L tries to formulate an antidote with a scientist, he must also save the lives of the two children who have no one else to turn to.

FatalGlory21 May at 17:30 @Tea The sad part is that the average gamer on the street (are there gamers on the street?) will suffer, but the pirates will still find away to get the games for free. It's a security arms race and the gamer suffers.
Tea21 May at 17:20 I think piracy is affecting the gaming Industry so much (especially on PC) thats its most likely going to be the future of gaming. Although I dont the next gen consoles (Xbox 720 adb PS4) will have permanent Internet connectivity as a requirement but most likley, the follwing will
FatalGlory21 May at 17:13 @Tea Notch was talking about this on Twitter the other day. He said that it was one of the major cons of Diablo.
Tea21 May at 17:05 Well i think its an important thing to discuss as Publishers need to be aware of the consequences - many people do not like online only games for that exact reason!
FatalGlory21 May at 15:57 @Tea Sure thing, I know that Samsungs don't work and that LGs seem to be the best bet, but I will fill you in on the specifics when I find a solution.
