I think he'll have a better chance to see this if we write it in chalk on my front driveway, but what the hell H.P.E.B. :)

I wish he'd quit playing around with other people's music and start making his own again. Programming other people's music into a game is a complete waste of talent when he is able to compose brilliant stuff himself. I wish I had even a fraction of that talent.
But, um, I wish him a happy birthday all the same. Not as though he'll ever read this.

As soon as the thread reaches ten replies some twerp is going to dig out his email and actually send him the link, to which he will embarassingly reply because of social obligation.

Who cares if he sees it or not? I don't mind a chance to reflect on old times and old enjoyment. I mean damn, what fine games and what a fine group of people they were and we were and..... screw it, I'm going to go reinstall Thief no matter how complicated it gets.

[nod] I was reflecting on the death of Looking Glass and such only a week ago. I was playing
Oblivion and I couldn't help but note how the game always held my hand through everything and generally treated the player as though he were the dumbest gamer in the world. I miss the time when games were less often designed with the lowest common denominator in mind--and that isn't age or nostalgia talking. Naturally, thinking of the "good old games" brought Looking Glass to mind. Here's to Looking Glass and their legacy, and to Mr. Brosius and his masterful audio work in those golden games.

You knew them personally?

I'm sure he was referring mostly to their otherworldly ability (regardless of the how) to create what so many of those who encountered it consider such a singular piece of art. I've met more than a few people while playing entirely different sorts of games who say, "Oh, Thief? Yeah, best game of all time." Just a week ago, I met someone on Mount & Blade: Warband whose username was "Thief," and upon my asking if he'd played The Dark Project, he responded that it was his favorite game. As it is mine, even after all these years and all these games. From aerial combat simulators to first-person shooters, if you play online enough, you'll eventually find someone who played and loved a Looking Glass game long ago and still considers it the finest.
