News about that new Thief game whose working title is too silly to reproduce here is pretty scarce. For all that it was announced more than a year ago, there have been no trailers, no concept art, no prospective features, no hints about the plot or tone or setting or protagonists it may or may not have (and since the third game rounded off the ( Read more... )

So I'm watching the ten minutes of mildly spoilery Bioshock Infinite game footage that's just been released, 'cause if nothing else I can be relied upon in my nerdery targets, and exactly one minute in I hear the voice of Booker DeWitt, the protagonist ( Read more... )

It's been raining for the past week. Like, non-stop. Dog is displeased with this state of affairs. Towns up north are being flooded out. I never thought I would miss the searing light of the sun, but oh god humidity.

So let's have ourselves some meme answers and then go find a blanket.

I'm bored. My degree of boredom is truly astonishing. I also have not posted in days.

To atone for my sin, and also to relieve my boredom, have a tiny little Thief picspam! Though you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. It is a strange and baffling state of affairs in a tiny picspam.

I ate'nt dead. Despite my best efforts, however, when a couple of my neighbors decided it would be awesome to play music and talk at 3 AM at volumes you could probably hear two levels above and below, I was unable to set them on fire with the power of my mind alone.

Eidos. Eidos, please, I could never say I wouldn't love a new Thief game - especially if it'll mean the old ones get exposure. And you understand - the same team as Deus Ex 3, yes, yes, exactly. The two series have always been tied so closely together, have such similar gameplay philosophies.

But change that title. Change it right now. I am ( Read more... )

Due to school and Centrelink and insane musicals and me being lazy, I have not posted in a while. It's weird, but I feel great - I've been tired or exhausted a lot, but I feel happier and more productive than I have in ages. I do my work and I clean my room and I wash my clothes and I feel good about it, and I've started reading my books again. I ( Read more... )

Holy shit, Fallout 3 Harold is voiced by Stephen Russell.

...Okay, behind the general feeling of brainmelt and Garrett is a zombie with a tree growing from his head? is the cheering knowledge that he's still getting voice work.

Still.

Garrett is a zombie with a tree growing from his head.

Akdhdfhfgdhf what.

I know a lot of people hate Thief: Deadly Shadows. Before I'd played the original series, I didn't understand why, though I do now; TDS is very, very ambitious, and when ambition doesn't come off, it makes for uneven games. TDS is a good game, but it's not as utterly brilliant as TDP and TMA. I can imagine how the fans felt playing it after waiting ( Read more... )
