:D Not at all...I think you got it just about right.
Now that I have a copy of the source code safely stored on my hard drive, I must back it up to CD to ensure it doesn't go missing ever again. lol

Just to be extra sure, span the contents over several 5.25" floppies, lock them in an aircraft cargo container and bury it in a bunker half a mile under your house.

What he's trying to politely say is "fuck Eidos in their left eye. Those fuckers have continually shut us out for years over trivial bullshit that would have cost them nothing to give up (including the very source code we're discussing). TTLG has had a fair hand in keeping interest in Thief alive and they've been nothing but ungrateful assholes in return. Fuck 'em."

And that newborn snake,

She dreamt she offered it her breasts.

Didn't the monster bite her nipple?

No. But with her milk it sucked out clots of blood.

It's an omen. Her vision means ...

Isn't that how it got lost in the first place?
Eidos: "Now we'll never lose the source code! Hey, who has the map to where we buried it?"

New features? My ass!
Do something about compatibility first, add gimmick creep later.

Oh you sneaky little taffer! These are the missing library files, aren't they?!
Well, I'm not even GOING to ask you where you got them, just to SPITE YOU. Ya spongy bastard.

Innaresting.

If those are the missing files, then you need to post that link in the source code thread down in the editors guild post haste. They'll be thrilled.
Hell, I'm thrilled. I barely know anything about coding, but I know the implications a full source code entails. As soon as someone is able to get it to compile, we'll start seeing some really cool things.
Imagine Dark with no hard polygon limit and higher res shadow bakes. Those two features alone would be enough to change the look of Thief FMs considerably.
