  1. You are desperate, thorough arch-rascals, murderers, traitors, liars, the very scum of all the most evil people on earth. You are full of all the worst devils in hell - full, full, and so full that you can do nothing but vomit, throw, and blow out devils!

      Such loose, lame, empty talk, set forth on the basis of your own reason and idiosyncrasy, would lead me to believe first of all that your opinions amount to nothing.

  2. Someone please remind me that the operative part of a "speed build" is the SPEED.

      Heh.. My ultra-fast modular speed build will be probably ready during this decade. So much to do and so little time.

      Sorry for your loss.

      Putting down your pet is hard, but watching it dying in suffering is way more traumatic.

       

      From other side my cat had serious kidney dysfunction and needed drip every few days -but against veterinarian's prognosis my cat had recovered. So it can be hard to decide when to give up.

      At least you were there to let her know that it was time for her to move on...I've been in the same position. Not one I like to revisit often. I did however make audio recordings of the animal while she was still alive so she lives on digitally forever.

      Nah, those games have none. And batman doesn't kill his enemies, he just beats them up and breaks their bones. But doesn't kill.

    3. Vae

      Predator? That's an inappropriate play-style for a THIEF game. Then again, this really isn't a THIEF game.

      Here again, the killing is dressed-up attractive.

  10. Least favourite TDM task ever: trying to properly weight shoulder verts without being able to test the rig in Lightwave.

    1. Diego

      Diego

      weight vertices is the worst task! (now that uv unwrap is automated in almost every package) Not being able to test is adding insult to injury (did I use this right?)

    2. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      Good use of the idiom Diego. You're better at English than 99% of the YouTube commenters from the USA...

  12. Finally getting around to playing Dishonored, and I think I can see where Thief4 got a lot of their ideas....

      Dunno, Thi4f's dev cycle started several years ago. Could it be parallel evolution?

       

      Anyway, it's ironic how Dishonored seems to be the real deal now, and Thi4f the cheap knockoff.

    3. Springheel

      Springheel

      I'm finding that I _really_ dislike the aesthetic of Dishonored. Don't like the character models at all, and I don't find the combo of old and new technology visually pleasing either.

      I ended up mostly really liking DH's visuals - parts of the game have an almost majestic desolate beauty. What finally killed it for me was (i) dull characters & story, and (ii) its overwhelming grimness. A Low Chaos game was unpleasant; I edged into High Chaos and (for me) it just became revolting.

  13. Walking Dead is 75% off on Steam. Highly recommend.

    1. Bikerdude

      Bikerdude

      Just bought the game plus the 400 days DLC for £6 :-)

  14. OMG. I just had the most disturbing, most visceral experience I've ever had playing a video game. Walking Dead game spoilers ahead.

      Well then you should play also Heavy Rain for there is also a scene there like that and I dare to say that it's even better.

    3. ungoliant

      ungoliant

      Yea, Heavy Rain is probably the best cinematic-style game of all time. QTE and cutscene driven gameplay still has its own place in gaming, where it can be fun and enjoyable. As long as it doesn't pretend to be something its not.

      Spec Ops: The Line had a few great moments like that, would highly recommend it.

      Now, there is a capital idea. Just got Nhat out for beta testing and serviced the clutch on the bike - so I am more than ready for a nice cold beer..

  16. Off to Fan Expo tomorrow...was hoping Thief 4 would be there, but it doesn't look like it. George Takei though!

  17. Apparently Iz Quierda (the latest incarnation of Aidakeely/Aprilsister/etc) hit his inevitable raving lunatic level again. Banned. Anyone want to take bets on his next name?

      He's a douche, that's about it. Worse than Shadowhide, at least that guy contributed to the mod in some way. Aprilister just tells everyone that they're wrong and to go fuck themselves.

      I haven't been active for quite some time, so I might have missed some of his nicks inbetween. Not that it matters. However, he actually has quite a well-sounding voice, so at least for the audio department it's some kind of loss.

  18. Just got back from Pirate-fest. Aaarrr!!

      Am I the only one that found it ironic the "steak & ice cream" refered to minimalist gameplay in that quote, and the "relief" referred to the script & explosion heavy escape sequence?

  20. 25 missions ready for 2.0 release; 20 waiting for beta-testing and/or mapper fixes. Only 5 not currently working under 2.0.

      plz tell me what to beta test. i'll do all of it

      @jaxa: the list is posted in the beta-test forums.

       

  21. Great, nothing more fun than regular, random crashes while trying to beta-test your own mission.

      get ultimate boor cd and run Memtest_x86, Like Biker said. Then also run the hdd diagnostics from that disk (Seatools 2.xx is a good one but try to match hard drive manufacturer).

      May just have to do that, as I had a BSOD last night. Don't want to get distracted from standalone stuff though, so I'm trying to live with it for now.

       

  22. Latest update: Complete missions--12; Nearly Complete--25; Not working--10; Untested--12.

      Some stellar missions in the complete list too. You've got more standalone ready missions than 1.0 launched with. :)

      When this is released, you really should call it TDM 2.0. It is a significant upgrade from current TDM.

    4. Springheel

      Springheel

      Yes, we're actually planning on doing that.

  23. Tested 35 missions in standalone so far. 17 of them are now complete or nearly complete.
