Thanks, it's nice to see that at least someone appretiates the stuff coming out of my somewhat twisted mind :D

Again, I don't think making the titles too poetic does help the atmosphere in general. I believe there must always be a distinction between the "data" (i.e. all contents) of the game/world and the meta-level where you start thinking about it.
A rude example: In the game you hear some strange industrial tones and music creating the atmosphere of this dirty, dangerous town. If you make videos with some kind of distance to the very plot, one might use romantic or pitiful music to express how he/she feels towards these trapped characters*. This won't fit the actual game (the "data" as I called it), but only this meta-level. Adapted to the titles it means that "Ambush!" might be a suitable name for this episode of the adventure, short, clear etc.; and that some polished title like "The Truart, the trap and the Rudely" (ehem...for instance) rather fit that meta-level - or call it view from above - than the very mission in it's place in the Thief universe.
* This is what I think about most of those YouTube music videos or - more common - the credits of a movie.

I have never thought of it in that way before.
Come to think of it, TDP OM titles like Assassins, The Sword, and Escape seem to fit the same pattern as well.
