I might have just done a very silly thing - I pre-ordered a game.
I pre-ordered Thief.
See, the advance publicity hasn't exactly been glowing and apparently the game's elephant-like gestation was not without problem. Further alarm bells started ringing when the discounts happened - If you pay the full £29.99 you're obviously not trying and the game's still 5 days from release. Last time I saw a game so frequently discounted before release it was XCOM Declassified, and that was a total stinker.
"You should have learned your lesson with XCOM Decaf then, you idiot" I hear you mumble...
Well, here's the thing. I paid £14.99 for Thief so am prepared for the lukewarm Dishonored rehash for the price of 12 Tesco Finest steak burgers. It's a no-lose situation - I've got girth to shed and the game, unlikely at this stage, might turn out ok.

In other news, Hero Siege is great fun.
