Aww yeah! Great start to my weekend! Thanks guys Lol like that it starts 7 1/2 minutes in.

When I say I'm not sure, I really do mean that Unless I get a key and it turns out to be my new favourite thing ever, I doubt I'll buy it for a long while yet. I've never been very good at RTS, and I'm hoping this will be good fun

Dude, that is badass.

If anybody does have some trial keys, I actually am on the fence about buying this, and would like to give it a go

Definitely the secret contractor behind Max Ides's latest cases. "Ides, it's Phaedrus. I need you." "EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES." "... Not like that."

Something to do with Will Wright of (Ex?) Maxis, if I remember correctly.

I just think "It's the 13th!" *Dong* "Not anymore." *Shot* Would be best

Yes. The "Plus" makes him sound unprofessional and lax.

Well, run into the ground sounds pretty negative It's still the same as it always was - a meta-joke at the expense of the games industry as a whole.

At some point today when I'm supposed to be writing an English Language essay, I'll compile all the knowledge/scenes we have of Ides, and then attempt to make it into a cohesive story. Please. video games, Famous, Scoops... Make it into an XBLIG. I would love you forever.

The Origins of a Redeemed Awakening perhaps?

Yes, Max Ides is actually Maxine Well Ides, Female Assassin extraordinaire.* *Please note, this is not true. Max Ides is all man.

Cheers bro. UK Thumbs planning another one at this year's Eurogamer?

Come on man, relax a little. It's not like anybodys killing anyone - it'll die before long anyway. Also, IMO it totally sucks that the thumbs killed running jokes. Ps: just realised Max Ides' evil unknown boss would so totally have to be Phaedrus.

So when you said you were reading my mini Max Ides script to each other, you were actually reading it to yourself in funny voices... It all makes sense now.

Good episode this week guys, thanks. Famous is a great guest, you should ask him to stay. Also, I was thoroughly disappointed you didn't attempt to explore Max Ides: The Origins of Darkness; Blue Moon Rising. I guess I'll have to work on a script for the reveal trailer sometime soon.

That made me happy. Thank you Also, nice work Thompson. We shall make this into a great idea before long

No, this could totally work. In one of the flashbacks, you see him on a starry night with a woman. She turns to him; "Oh damnit Max! I have to say it to you! I know you always tell me I can't, but I must!" "No Cleopatra! You musn't! We've discussed this before!" " But damnit Max! I love you!" At this point, a QTE appears on screen. Press A. Max slaps Cleopatra. "Damnit woman! Why did you do that? EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES." Fade to black Anthony and Cleopatra are both dead, and as the camera turns away from their bodies, you see Max in the dark corner, sobbing.

No, but I'd like to

nonononon you're doing it wrong. You start off in present day Rome, where you discover a half-broken dagger on the floor. As you bend down to pick it up, you're grabbed sharply by Max Ides, and swiftly knocked out. As you lay unconscious, you go through your tutorial. The first half of the game is just flashbacks to Max's murders, and then POW, somebody crashes into where you're being held, and it's up to you to save the day, save Max Ides, and save the human race.

I don't know, I like it but... Max Ides: The Origins of Darkness sounds a little better. BUT. If we stick with yours, it would have to be; The Ides of Darkness: Origins of Max; Blue Moon Rising

Awesome - as long as we get credit, that's all that matters. Max Ides: Origins: Darkness would be an amazing Video game.

Max Ides is an honourable man...

... You totally suck

I do know that a blue moon is when you have two full moons in the same month. Not that it helps this discussion, of course.
