Oh cool. Never knew about this forum, I just saw the backlink from my analytics and wondered what systemshock.org was.

Thanks for sharing my video! I'm hard at work on the third and final episode which will cover System Shock 2, Thief: Gold, LGS's closing and legacy.

Hope you guys enjoyed the videos so far.

I'm hard at work on the third and final episode which will cover System Shock 2, Thief: Gold, LGS's closing and legacy.

I can't wait to see the third one! The second one kinda left on a cliffhanger. Fantastic videos, though. Very detailed yet concise, and extremely entertaining. I learned a lot of stuff I never knew about Looking Glass.

The second one kinda left on a cliffhanger.

Sorry! I actually meant to do this as an all-in-one video kinda like my Doom retrospective, but after I finished performing and recording my script, I realized it was nearly 30 minutes long. It's incredible how long it takes source and cut up a video like this that's half an hour long, so I then opted for the 3-video format.

Hope I don't disappoint, but I'm pretty happy with what I have edited so far. I have a couple special nods that System Shock 2 fans might enjoy in there.
