So this is a graphic novel from the Thief series, Thief being sort of a legendary video game series by Warren Spector.
MoriartyHOST
Back in the day, he's worked with John Romero to make Thief 3 and did that through Ion Storm.

Tim GettysHOST
Ugh, man.
Greg MillerHOST
As Warren Spector said when he said two curse words yesterday, what do you contribute to the gaming industry? What do these people contribute to the gaming industry? Absolutely fucking nothing.
Greg MillerHOST
Support AA and small indie games and the new studios that are cropping up to make really cool shit.
Tim GettysHOST
Story number two is in line with story number one.

SaraHOST
Because everything...

Michael HighamHOST
But like the fact that this thing even exists is crazy.
Michael HighamHOST
Yeah, it reminds me of like Warren Spector working on Epic Mickey.
Michael HighamHOST
And it's like, how did that happen? Right.
Michael HighamHOST
I guess.
Mike BithellHOST
...
Mike BithellHOST
