I’m sure videos of this practice have been posted before so nothing new but yesterday I witnessed half a dozen youngsters climbing on to the rear of shop premises in daylight (a mere two storeys high) and I could see the route they had climbed from the pavement. Pretty straightforward. Presumably they’re wannabe practitioners of something my neighbour says is called Parkour, originating in France. I quickly found recent videos by experienced locals and although this is not their most daring exploit (and something that Garrett would easily do in Thief) in real life on local landmarks it's quite frightening and I swore several times watching this.

for me this brings Mirror's Edge (and especially its sequel, the awkwardly named Mirror's Edge: Catalyst) to mind more than thief; in thief i tend to move slowly and look around for loot, but mirrors edge is all about keeping forward momentum and route-finding on the fly. love that game!
Edit: @16:27 - these guys are definitely using new_mantle!

It’s bad enough when I hear Garrett die in Thief but I had to halt this video on the second viewing. In Thief I often crouch to move forward on long narrow ledges. Admittedly that’s difficult in real life (especially with my knees) but as a minimum I’d want to at least face inward to the wall, hanging on by my fingerprints, not outward as this guy does.
Edit: I take the point about Mirror's Edge which I never played but see is described as being about a parkour courier. Having said that, I (as Garrett) run long distances at times in sheer panic when I haven't a pre-planned escape route(though not on roof tops).

Mask used by the Cultus Sabbati Neopagans. Reminds me of a precursor mask with Pagan elements
Sweet! Just in time for Hallowe'en.
Hohoho and a bottle of rum

Inspired by Thief outro.
I always was curious to know how Garrett hides in the dark that good. Maybe he wears this suit:
amazing video awmanyl,i like the brisk cold air,i just wish a burrick would have walked by in the background
Yeah, that's what they all say. "Oh, look, it's amazing what it can do with its tiny little arms", and "Oh, he's so cuuuuuute...!" And then the burrick belches, the smell comes by, everyone turns green, dinner leaves their bodies the way it came in, and the fun is definitely over.
Beware...
the taffer lifting set is basically new dark/new mantle
i approve of the taffer wrist wraps
Saw this old ring on reddit today. I'm gunna put it in my fan mission me thinks.
It's such something Karras might wear.

i love the center green part but that ring setting is horrid,it needed to have mini claws holding the head in the ring and a way better ring shape and design
Ooooo good idea. Hmmm.
That ring is creepy and awesome at the same time. My ex would hate it ... Must find one....
What in the Builder's name is this travesty?
