Never mind though, because the sneaky technology stealer is back! Or at least the essence of him is, now under the guise of a brand-new espionage system - just one of the countless features being jammed into Beyond The Sword.

My very worst experience of this though came when I was drunk in a Wetherspoons on Bedford High Street, talking to a random group of pretty nurses and with almost Machiavellian prompting from an associate. It's an occupational hazard of sorts: the unwitting social mishap of a gamer forgetting the company lie's in and the fact that not everyone will understand a metaphor based on the intricacies of de_dust.
Quite Often, I find myself going off passionate about, and realise five minutes later that the room has gone silent and everyone has started looking quizzical.
