As a writer, fett, you should know that words are often not an indication of the state of being of the author.
Statement redundant by dint of its obviousness.

No, not they're not.
This being a Thief forum just means its a forum for Thief fans. There is no message, no vehicle and no design for "indelible" posts (which aren't indelible by the nature of their digital storage anyway).
This reads like you are high.

This sounds like some highschooler trying to sound cool. Please explain what "BS in an exaggerated package" means?
And "volleys"? What is this, an artillery war?

I often wonder if this is done on purpose, or if it's seeded in the minds of people by accident when they watch other peoples' work.

Thief looks better. :)

I wouldn't read too much into the similarity. After all, escaping from buildings by smashing through windows is a common cliché in third-rate action movies. :rolleyes:

Oh, comeon. Have you not seen the Dishonored announcement clip? The whole scene leading up to the window busting escape was pretty awesome.
Melan on 3/4/2013 at 16:26
Yes, it was (and I really liked Dishonored). That doesn't stop it from being a common cliché in third-rate action movies. :D

it's also a super efficient way to cut the living shit out of yourself.

Bahh. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to push a guy through a plate glass window? I bet the hospital bills alone make it a high budget movie exclusive. :P

I can vouch for that. You see all these movies where a guy puts his fist through a window without any side effects, right? Yeah. One time I accidentally tripped over my cat and ended up putting my hand through a pane of glass on my door. It wasn't even that hard. Just a quick pop and some broken glass. I didn't even know I was all that hurt at first. It wasn't until I went off to get the broom and dust pan to sweep up the glass...
...that I noticed all the gore.
Long and very gross story short, I couldn't get any stitches because the doctors in the emergency room didn't have anything to work with. If I wanted any medical treatment, I'd have to go back and find the chunks missing off of me so they could do skin grafts.
At least I got a couple cool scars out of the ordeal.

In the movies, they make (or used to make) those glass panes out of sugar, which looks convincing enough and doesn't cut you into ribbons. :cool:
Think Garrett and Corvo would be dumb enough to jump through real glass? (Well, maybe Corvo, if he was possessing someone... no excuse for Garrett, though. :devil:)
