Yeah, you can't complete RTC in under 2 minutes anymore. That's pretty serious improvement, methinks.

LBW stands for...?

I can only speak for myself, but I don't think the way he's playing it is the real issue. It's his dismissal of his own inadequacies, the way he blames the game for his every mistake that gets tiresome. Look at all the times he complains about his blackjack not working. He's on the fifth level of the game, you'd think he'd have figured out by now that it is best used from behind. But rather the vast majority of his attempts to KO are him leaping out of the shadows from the front. He can KO all he wants, I usually KO all the baddies on the stage on my first play through. But the game doesn't automatically suck because he can't figure out how to correct his techniques.
He doesn't adapt to correct his mistakes, he just blames the game and the developers. If the game isn't designed precisely to fit his exact play-style, then he claims it's a bad game and the designers suck.
I'd advise you, and everyone else for that matter, to read this post: (

In case you're too lazy I'll just quote one sentence "Yeah I yell and blame shit on the game and the developers when it is my fault, I understand that and fully admit that most if not all the fuck-ups in this LP are my fault." and maybe another couple sentences, "Every time I record I go in with the mindset that I am not going to hold shit back and I am also not going to really think about it. That is why I constantly blurt things out in anger while playing.".
So yeah, basically, pretty much all of the time he's yelling at your precious game and/or its mechanics, rest assured, he's just doing it in a moment of spontaneity. :)

And this changes the argument how? Spontanteity is honesty. If his first, immediate reaction is to blame the developers, not himself for his own mistake, well... read above.

I honestly don't think he knows which way the guards are looking half the time he jumps out to blackjack em and fails. Its usually in a dark shadow when this happens, and the graphics don't really help in showing which way their facing, especially with these black clad guards. Course it would be easier if he took a bit more cautious approach to see which way they are walking or swords pointing.Then again the parts of the LP where he jumps in the shadows when he hears someone only to not see whoever it was that walked by are not that entertaining.
Also its easy to blame developers for some things like pit he got stuck in, their have been Plenty of games with flaws like that and him pushing Thief into that territory seemed to really piss off a few people but hey, sometimes you just come across situations like that and they tend to really Really piss you off... whether you missed something or fell into a actual glitch/dead end.

In case you people allow a different opinion from the classics, I'll go ahead.
LBW couldn't be more IN the place, as the mansion itself is bizzare and mad. The patrolling guard on the table could've been elsewhere, but I guess it's the wage they all bother about. Not too satisfying for the person I guess, unless he finds a hobby in there.
The Mage Towers may have been a keyhunt and after 4 similar towers it may have gotten annoying, but the whole changed setting, the story sorta makes up for that. Plus, it wasn't all-the-same. I could've used more mages and less guards, however, but that was more or less explained anyway.
Anyway, I enjoyed the mission. I guess I just don't develop unmatched hatred towards non-frustrating keyhunts. ;)
P.S. New vid's up. Oh that was neat. New progress!

Agreed. I found it after seeing 2nd floor,
outer space and stuff. Wasn't surprised at all.
I'm certain we will hear a lot of wtfs in the next mission, no matter if Khad finds LBW or not xd

I know that the theme of the house is "bizarro" but seriously, that's a little too much. It probably wouldn't even be physically possible to build something like that - You can put entire Hammerite Cathedral inside. And the guards there are just the icing on the nonsense cake.
I mean think about telling someone to build that. If you want a room upside down well, as long as you pay well who cares right? But if you say you want something like LBW they'll probably quietly back away. Very far away.

How about some spoiler tags guys? If he hasn't read those yet he doesn't know it's a bizarro mansion with upside down rooms. I'd like to see his unspoiled reaction to the upcoming missions.

Damn it, Khad. I had 20$ saying you would step on your own mine.
