Captioned TDP videos on Google Video

I know, and I didn't mean an entire ghosting video, but there seems no attempt in any of the videos i've seen to sneak around ANY of the guards - they are all koed or killed. :erg: And to be honest i don't think it would be so boring if done in the right way. The waiting times when ghosting are highly exaggerated.

Oh, he commented on the KO'ing, it seems the readers of his LP (Let's Play) thread felt the same way you did. And he edited out the waiting, the body hiding, and the lockpicking, too.

He did try to make 100% loot runs, though. I've watched all of the movies today. And I'm personally convinced it's a TTLG'er we're dealing with here. The depth of his Thief knowledge and the quality of his wit tells me so, somehow. With luck, he'll discover this thread.

Hey, Mckain, over here!

Now, I'm not saying that the paying members of Something Awful should be cheated of their exclusive features by people reposting the LPs, but at least the videos are public.

So when I noticed that the links in the OP no longer worked for me, I came up with some other links:

Note that with these, you first need to press the button in the video player interface marked "CC" in order to read the subs. It's possible this might be made default by appending some parameter to the URL, but I don't know what that might be. I'll edit this post if any of you knows.

Hmm sorry, I meant that it doesn't take nearly as long to wait when you ghost as people who don't ghost think / imagine it does. Especially when you get used to it.

Well, the problem with making a ghosting video instead of a killing/BJ video is that it would surely take a lot more time to watch. And while it´s fun and exciting to wait one entire minute looking at a guard patrol, it isn´t as much fun to watch someone else taking one minute looking at a guard patrol.

A courageous taffer by the name of Nens made a complete ghosting video walkthrough of TG:

Each mission is not too long, too.

Anyone know of a way to download the vids from Google with the subtitles?

Ramagamma on 25/6/2008 at 22:06

Normally I wouldn't be bothered with the work of archiving the whole of the thief lets play but since I love the thief series and most of the forum frequenters as well, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to stick some shit up. Can anyone recommend me a space on the web to put the files?

Innocuous on 26/6/2008 at 05:33

The subtitles are the best part of the videos, why would you want to disable them?

You could try sending the files to our various fan mission mirrorers:

(www.southquarter.com)
(www.keepofmetalandgold.com)
(www.thief-thecircle.com)
(www.darkfate.ru)

I've got the whole of the lets play archived in .doc format, zipped up and waiting ready to go.

Bear in mind its not the whole LP, just the first 8 missions but anyone who would like the file just put me on msn at ramagamma @ hotmail . co.uk
