According to Gamasutra Warren Spector and Ion Storm Austin are busily resurrecting the Thief team for the upcoming Thief III. So far lead designer Randy Smith and Senior Level Designer (and former Adrenaline Vault Editor-in-Chief) Emil Pagliarulo are both on board. Pagliarulo created the best Thief 2 mission "Life of the Party" almost single-handedly. I'm glad to see Garrett is coming back and I'm glad to see that the right people are bringing him back. Stick that in your bow and nock it.

Gen Con Promise Keepers?: Not two miles away from the Gen Con gaming convention in Milwaukee was a gigantic public meeting of the scary religious male organization known as the Promise Keepers. No clash occurred, which is disappointing. I'd like to know which group has the strongest +4 Holy Avenger swords.

What began in 1996 with 160 attendees has swelled to 2000 in the year 2000 (appropriate, no?) Yes folks, the QuakeCon 2000 happened and nobody got hurt. Hehe, unless you count bruised egos and apparently bruised jaws as well. Um, their jaws were bruised by people gaping in such amazement over the railgun prowess of some of the better players that their jaws dropped open and hit the floor…. Um… look, never mind ok?

One room held 1250 LAN connected computers all playing Quake III and another room held 512 more doing pretty much the same. Some Diablo 2 was played and a few other games as well. According to my sources at least.
