Sleeping Terror
Well, now that my Beyond Good & Evil run is done, I need something new to run. How many of you would like to see runs for the Thief games?
I'll be doing each level separately, without buying anything from the shop. Also, I use the level skip to access the few levels "connected" to a previous one, so I start with the default items. This way people can compete on individual levels.
I only have a copy of Thief II at the moment, so that's what I'm starting with. I'll probably do Thief Gold instead of plain Thief I, because it has more levels.
The levels differ greatly on different difficulties, thanks to the varying objectives, so it's worth doing all three difficulties. To make it easy on myself, I'll be starting with Normal. (Return to the Cathedral and Sabotage at Soulforge will be FUN on Expert.)
I've already done the first level of T2 on Normal. There's not much you can do for speed, since you have to wait for Basso. But I did find that using the whistle after he finishes his walking around at the beginning is faster than using it immediately. I tried to not be too boring while waiting for him.
Thief II - Level 1 (Running Interference) - Normal - 2:52 (video down for lack of space)
One note about this video: Thief is a dark game. A really dark game. I'm using the default gamma, which is great for playing at night with the lights off. If you want to watch this video during the day, or on a monitor with poor brightness, I'd really recommend using a video player that can increase the gamma.
Oh, and one more thing... I don't have much webspace. So I won't be able to put up more than one small video at a time, unless someone offers to host them for me.
