     I think Andrew is 'too' smart, his brain is racing, trying *too many* 
things at once, and *expecting* an answer from *terrible* code/apps/etc. 
It's all supposed to be there, because, well, it's the year 2009, and it 
*should* be there.

   (Sorry Andrew, hate speaking from the third-person perspective, but it's 
just my opinion).

    Haha, I played the demo of some version of Thief a few years ago. I 
thought it was really VERY good! Loved the hiding in shadows and the 
lock-picking in corridors. :)

   I would love to see the level editor for it though. I wonder how it 
differs from what I've used?
