Zero Punctuation: Thief: The Dark Project

I stumbled upon this while looking through the Thief Facebook group. Pretty funny and a good watch for your friends that you can't convince to play thief.

Ahh, my first search only brought up an old thread by escapistmagazine:

I should have searched for "Yahtzee"

I was surprised to see it was on the (default setting) page 3 of the index. No worries, though. Thanks for sharing the find.:)

(http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125248) Actually on page 2, posted a month ago.

It was locked though after it just turned into a bitching session between ZylonBane and SneakyJack. Good old ttlg.

Whoa, like, I'm having a severe case of deja vu!

"deja vu is when there is a glitch in the matrix...":cheeky:

Not trying to belittle you bardic, that was just a joke... but it has been posted three times now.

Sorry for the necroposting, BUT...

I don't think Yahtzee's review of TDP got nearly enough attention here.

For those of you not in "the know", Yahtzee is a well-respected (if not hated because of his frankness) game reviewer, who in general, indulges in bashing the daylights out of the gaming industry for lackluster games and bashing the games themselves. His fast-talking, Aussie-accent-voiceover during a stick-figurish animation makes for a very entertaining view (about 5 minutes long).

As a general rule, the games that Yahtzee likes are FEW and FAR BETWEEN. The fact that he actually likes TDP and TMA, is a HUGE testament to the greatness of the games.

Anyway, I've been following his reviews for a year or so now, and he's mentioned Thief before, but never gave the game a full treatment until a few months ago.

Check it out already!

Btw, if his reviews were rated like US films, his reviews would definitely be rated R or NC-17, so use your own discretion around children!

[No, I received no funds for the above advertisement. I just like Thief and Yahtzee!]
