Even though I hardly look at Tumblr anymore, it is so easy to post photos instead of doing more in-depth updating. I hope to do the latter at some point, but for now I hope you will indulge me in the former.

The Dark Mod missions pictured are A Night to Remember by Fieldmedic, WS1: In the North by grayman, and Tears of St. Lucia, which is ( Read more... )

I've been watching more Let's Plays* during meals than playing any games. Though I upgraded to the latest Thief II patch, I hadn't even been playing any Thief fan missions.

This past weekend I started up The Dark Mod on my newest laptop to finish a mission, "The Transaction" by Sotha, that I started months ago. It wasn't a very clean playthrough ( Read more... )

I didn't even remember that Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption had a screenshot key, let alone that I had used it and saved my original screencaps. I stumbled upon these while indexing data DVDs and thought they'd be worth sharing. It's been quite a while since I last played Redemption, though I ran through the game at least twice.

I'll hopefully have a longer post on The Dark Mod later. The short version: The Dark Mod doesn't feel exactly like Thief: The Dark Project or Thief II: The Metal Age, but it's undeniably Thief and I quite like it. For now, some screencaps with small commentary. I'm playing on an older computer using the smallest resolution, so this isn't the ( Read more... )

This was originally one large, somewhat eclectic, and photo-heavy update. It's been broken in half because I had more to say about the first topic than I realised. As such, this post is all about computer games with specific talk about The Dark Mod, Doom 3, and the Thief II fanmission A Night in Rocksbourg part III: Ink and Dust, plus musings on ( Read more... )

The cat in this YouTube video is probably what you'd get if the main protagonist of the Thief games had been a feline. :p (Link from the TTLG's General Thief forum.)

Below the cut are selected screencaps from various Thief 2 fan missions I've played over the past year or so.

( Thief 2 fan mission screencaps -- A.K.A. Noah, The Ashen Age part 1, The First Day of Winter, Flowers for a Friend, The Kill Factory, The Tower, The Way of the Sword, and What Lies Below: The Crusade for the Old Quarter. )

I haven't written a review for The Nameless Mod yet (or the original Deus Ex, for that matter), but I do have copious screencaps. The ones in this post fall into one of three categories: humorous, references to other series, or just plain cool. Image heavy with some strong language. (Alternately, you can view the screencaps through their gallery ( Read more... )

I've made a number of new Armand icons, using screencaps taken from the film Death in Venice of the character Tadzio (played by Björn Johan Andrésen). The actual film is lengthy for its plot and an exercise in atmosphere and hinted emotion, but Tadzio is very close to my mental image of Armand. Apparently, I am not the only one to think so, for I ( Read more... )
