At this point I don't know who is trolling who, but this whole thing is silly :laff:
I'll let you in on the terrible secret of the Internet: 95% of so-called trolls are not; they're just idiots.

I always like how the really crazy and rabid fans of some really old game get pissed when it is remade to be more "user friendly" and in effect, more fun.
Finally, the magic words - and from the star of the show no less!

Just a bunch of Thief fans up in arms about stuff on the internet. So people think you're doing it wrong and have words to spew about it? Nothing new here, you could replace 'Thief' with 'GTA' or 'The Sims' or 'chakat fanfiction' or 'Oprah Winfrey', and the results would be the same.
I don't think there's a 'right' way to do Oprah Winfrey, though.

Long enough to be eligible for half her fortune, obviously. :laff:

They're hardcore fans of a dev studio that failed a decade ago, squirreled away in their own isolated Internet community. I loved LGS as much as the next nerd, but that kind of fandom does strange things to a man.
And then there are those of us who have been with LGS from way before Thief, and in a sense, way before Underworld. All the way back to Ultima, and as every "fan" of LGS knows, without Ultima there would have been no LGS.

But you think there's a 'right' way to do chakat fanfiction? :sly:

There's a reason why I put that in there, Kokes.

That doesn't stop me from considering them as one of the greatest game devs that ever existed, but they're as dead as Bullfrog and LGS and Troika and the old, great Interplay. Still, we've got plenty of people carrying the torch. Origin might not be creating worlds any more, but there's all these other people creating their own, trying or failing or succeeding at it, and that's good enough.

Heh. Read the first few of your quotes SJ. Maybe I'll read the rest tomorrow. [edit: read, wasn't that long lol]
Anyway, sounds to me like they're a mix of impulsive nerdrage and narrow-minded foolishness. Not all of them, ofcourse, just some of the worst trolls.
Btw, last part was just excellent. Those were some of the most entertaining 27 minutes I've had lately.
Hmm, SJ, the only close minded parts I noticed were the unwelcomeness of TDS, which isn't without good reasoning. TDM for some, probably cause their PC's are lacking, like mine. Anyway, ttlgers are usually reasonably strict, but this ain't worth discussing anyway without an active example/problem, which I don't see here.
SA guys are cute and all, but Halo and Thief just aren't the same. :D
Oh, Koki, there are trolls and idiots? Never knew they're seperate.

Oh, yes, Sulphur made a solid explanation why a poster or two were idiots for insulting thief cause the company kicked off a decade ago. If they keep reading this, they might learn something.
Anyway, hope he makes the next episode soon. I'm a little hungry for it.
