That would be entertainment value, Queue. :cool:

F you, you rude prick.
You want to discuss things, fine. You want to disagree, fine.
There is no need to be an asshole all the time.
Duh, my ass. You're the thicko, thicko.

You hear that... YOU'RE A THICKO! Thicky, thick, thick.
...I found that pretty entertaining.

Names like that can be embarrassing for the ones who make them up. F'rinstance, there was this time my dad and I had to take the cat to the vet, because she couldn't meow. So the time comes when the cat's on the table, and she's squeaking out the most plaintive attempt at a mew imaginable. The vet turns to my dad and says, "Oh, poor thing. What's her name?"
My dad looks at me. I look at him. I shrug, so he turns to the vet and says, "Stupido."
Two minutes of silence later, the vet takes the cat in her arms, shoots us a disapproving glance, and says to her, "I don't like your name, honey. What kind of a name is that?"
"Her complete name," my dad adds helpfully, "is Stupido Idioto Monsurato. We named her after the family."
I think the tip of her pen nearly snapped off when she had to write the name on the consultation slip.

We always kept the pets names simple. I had a cat named Fang. A bird named Flip. When I was young, the family poodle's name was: Shit.
It was great to call out, "Come here, Shit. Come on, Shit," then shoo it away angrily.
...I hated that dog.

I would have used something more highbrow, and I'm sure you're familiar with the type of insults I usually deploy, but I was unsure that he'd comprehend. Even with t'internet at his fingertips. Thicko is perfectly placed. Dullard, which is a more apt and accurate description, wouldn't get through.

I can only take the Eidos Thief 4 forum in small doses. I learned that this summer after spending three weeks reading through a lot of those threads until I just got sick of it; all of the speculation, wishful thinking, and intense (or sometimes mindless) discussion of irrelevant issues. Yet a number of members there post daily.
To be fair, some of the debate and dialogue is interesting, but I personally will not be enthused about Thief 4 until I see the "Thi4f" t-shirts removed from the EM store website.
I agree with Subjective Effect that it's pointless to talk about expansions right now. However, until the FAQ is updated, a screenshot is released, or any real T4 information is relayed to us, what else is there to do except indulge in fantasies?
Incidentally, I'll play the game and select choice E:
5 new missions and an editor. An editor is a must and I would rather have fewer excellently designed and inspired missions than a huge quantity of mediocre ones, which seems probable if the expansion needed to have an exoribant
eight new missions. I would just hope that EM could adhere to tradition and produce a
Thief 4 Gold, not a cliched expansion pack that promises new weapons, items, and 10-15 hours of gameplay.
I agree with your entire post. Most of you have no idea who I am, but I started reading various pertinent TTLG topics copiously in March while making a T2 fan mission (sadly shelved since mid June due to various programming projects) and finally signed up here a little too late, right after the rise of the Eidos forum, so most of my posting has been done over there instead.
While acknowledging the by-and-large pointlessness of the massive speculation and wish fulfillment on that forum, I still drop by once every few days to put off work and offer a few opinions for a few minutes when I should be doing other things.

Would you want an expansion to be*....
A, 8 new missions continuing the T4 story
B, 8 new missions with a new "mini-story"
C, 8 new individual missions
D, 8 new missions with a new character or "create-a-character".
E, 5 new missions and an editor
F, 1 Mission "The City" All of it! (Either "freeroam" or a giant 1 level narrative)
:laff:

a. We had that in Thief 3 already.
b. The background to this "joke" is so old hat are you sure you're not still trapped in 1999?

Doubtful. Realising that even you do dumb things from time to time would only be human. Are you human?
