I dunno. I like scary movies, but they don't generally scare me. After that time period when the most traumatizingly terrifying thing to me was the monsters from Gremlins (about age 8-12), damn few things could manage to be scarier than myself with the chainsaw.

Meh - I'm a wuss; Option 1. I just don't get any real enjoyment out of jumping in my chair, or lying in bad after a movie with scenes going through my mind, unable to get to sleep... :nervous:

On the other hand,  commanding an APC through the streets of Jenin, with grenades and makeshift explosives going off on top and all around the vehicle, bullets pinging off the sides, etc etc... wasn't all that scary. Neither was disarming live mines in a hornet-ridden minefield, come to think of it.

*thinks back*

Scariest movies I've seen (to clarify, I haven;'t seen any of the Alien series, any Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nor  The Ring, Others, or even Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal. I know - poor, deprived me. Bah.) was when I watched Event Horizon and Sphere back-to-back one boring saturday on base. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

See Alien. Giger is a god among really, really creepy men. He's the one guy who's ever made an anthropomorphic alien work, I think.

Logic would say the other way around. Logic is a pretty girl, she smells good as well. I love her, she knows all my weak points ( oh yeah, right under the shoulder, yes, YES! )
I'd say get Thief first, anyway.

Logic would be wrong. There are some games, like the Fallout series, where getting the first helps figure out what's going on. There are some, like Syndicate, where the first is downright better. And then there are games where the second is just the first, vastly improved. FPSes generally fall under category 3.

Have you played both of them? I have, and there are reasons why I suggest going for the second one first.

Thief's nice, but it's not at the same level as System Shock. It kind of gets boring after the first couple of missions, to tell you the truth - not to mention the undead missions. Those are simple and pure pain. Someday I might give it another shot.

"slaps levy-etc with a trout" there's things you can say, and others you can't. you can't say this one.

Thief's great, it's my favourite FPS ( if it can be called a fpS :doubt:  ), and maybe my favourite game ever, nothing can compare to it.

See? You didn't even have to ask for one of those reasons - you discovered it by your own. It seems your logic betrayed you.

And I see you consider graphics an important factor in games. That's sad at least, really.

This is getting pretty lame. If you can't spell my name you shouldn't even be allowed to talk in the first place.

It's your right to have that opinion. It's my right not to agree with it. If you can't understand that, you should move to a cave and block the entrance.

Seriously, rent Alien.... then Aliens. Do not rent Alien3 or Resurrection. Though it has Bill Paxton, Aliens is really really good.

You should, but you might not like SS1. It's definitely not for everyone. Aside from the dated graphics (which some superficial graphics-whore types can't get past), it's a pre-mouselook game with lots of keys and no remapping. But if you can handle all that, it has fantastic level design, plotting, and voice acting. Also, playing through SS1 makes a certain level in SS2 *much* more significant and enjoyable.

PS-- Thief and System Shock are completely different types of games. They're both excellent.

If he plays System Shock 2 first he'll have a higher chance of enjoying Shock 1 - although that last part of the first paragraph is indeed true.
