#3457: You don't know the routes and timings of all the local police patrols. You knocked them all out ages ago.

#3458 - you find yourself in a daily routine of "touring" the police stations, banks and even the mob's headquarters, with a notebook and a pencil in your pocket.

#3459 - you start getting in your head that your neighbor must have an Velvet Bag too, since he also has a cat.

(Edit - fixed)

I once had this very strange dream, after I've been watching too much Star Trek TNG and playing waaaaay to much Thief, where I was sneaking in the City with a phaser in my hand and Starfleet uniform, and with a combadge that was the Esc button :D

It was really cool, I only woke up when I've been repeatedly slapping the combadge for 2 minutes, trying to bring up the menu. By that time, alas, I knew it was only a dream. :cheeky::cheeky:

#3460 - you find yourself now creating a FM that will incorporate Star Trek TNG elements including a phaser gun as a weapon of choice based on someones dream about sneaking through a city as a Trekkie.

#3462 When you keep a safe distance from daddy longleggs like it would be a thief spider thinking "what if it jumps at me?"

#3464: You create a thread "1000 reasons why I play too much Thief" that lasts for more than 10 years (glory to the one who did this!)

#3465: When you get Garret to lean, you subconsciounsly lean as well trying to see what's beyond the end of the screen

#3466: You spend more than a week trying to find a way to make Thief I and II work on 32-bit Vista on a shitty laptop

#3467: You make your friends never play the game ever because you talk too much about it and they get sick of it.

#3468: After 3467, your friends start playing just to stop you from using the following persuasion methods to get them start the game: blackjacking them, stealing their wallets and sneaking behind them to scare them.

#3469: You forget to bring a book with you at school and you are about to load a saved slot of your life in your brain to fix the mistake, then you realise you are not playing Thief and feel sad about it and you start missing your PC and the game.

#3470: You paintspray Constantine's Eye Symbol everywhere.

#3471: You have 50 Megabytes of screenshots from the game, most of them consisting of piles of unconscious and dead Guards, Hammerites and Ratmen.

#3472: You view the screenshots and remember how many times you had to repeat the levels because the computer crashed.

#3473: You then remember that your computer always crashed at the mission for the Horn of Quintus, when you would lure all zombies you could find to a single trap that would fire a purple bolt every 5 seconds (you still remember the timing) and because there were at least 6-7 zombies in pieces on the floor, the sound would stuck in repeating the squashing sound of zombies exploding and then your computer crashed. As a result your computer was fried and you had to buy a new one

This, all though I was taking a lot of acid at the time (Game was MDk if I recall which needed the saves patched in)
