Hello fellow nightstalkers. Been spending the past few months setting up a youtube channel dedicated to my two favorite game genres, stealth and horror. Because the Thief series can sometimes walk the line between the two, it will receive special emphasis as I play through the games themselves, and then move on to the Fan Missions that show that professional level of polish that keeps this community alive after so many years. I also make videos on how to set up the various mods for these games so that all the new taffers can experience Thief on modern systems thanks to NewDark.

A bit of a warning though. I started playing this series with the release of Thief Gold, long before I had ever heard of this forum or Ghost style gameplay. The concept of trying to sneak past a guard without knocking him out just never occured to me, and while I'm moderately okay at ghosting missions like Framed, I prefer to play as a thug, knocking everyone silly and then exploring the location at my leisure. While I allow myself to use every resource and dirty trick available, I limit my quicksaves and only reload upon death. So if something goes wrong in a knockout attempt, I keep playing. Trying to complete a mission with guards actively searching for you is far more interesting to me than hitting reload every time a guard says "What was that?" I have taken to calling this Thug style.

So please come by and check it out. I'm still trying to find the right balance of brightness and contrast to make the missions visible without looking washed out and I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for these, AngelWolf, and I'm adding the two setup instruction videos to the new video list I'll be posting in the Fan Missions Forum some time today.
