Thief II: The Dancing Zombies Easter Egg

[drkahara]

WAHT THE FALCK WAS THAT?! This is something I never thought to see.

[legomovieman94]

Reminds me of Majora's Mask, you could do something similar with the ReDeads. XD

[NathanRomml]

I'd like to see the look on Garet's face.

[Eggs4Eva]

omg the music!!! hahaha

[LeopardFixJeopardy]

Pretty weird did you add in the music too?

[LDKBBAB]

Do the monster mash!

[GameCheckMaster]

lol xD

[Thewolf826]

LOLWUT :D

[Horzagiar]

There's a vista patch for thief 1&2 on the website called thief the circle

[0VampireDiaries0]

hahahahahaha

[kasutaja55]

Eidos is mostly just a game publisher. Thief was developed by Looking Glass Studios. All the other so called Eidos games like Commandos, Hitman, Deus Ex etc were also made by other game developers. The games Eidos actually developed are stuff like Pony Friends 2.

[Whackjood]

Oh, wow. The zombies are even doing the Thriller dance.

Well played Eidos, well played.

[CortanaFTW]

you should have the song i dont feel like dancing on it!

[Gizzacks]

hahah I remember when I found these two, was such a crackup! All they need is some music! You can actually jump over the wall  and get right up close to them, you can't kill them though.

[Witcherism]

LOL. You win, great movie. Need to check this out myself. -)

[chanchan84]

[sickpack82]

Now what is THAT! SO great, and the music...

sounds like old 8bit computer sound from the 80's or so. AWESOME

[piercingstars]

lol

[DullerCorpse]

nice, although is your computer like infinity years old?

[WakeForFood]

You can also just climb over that fence :) I did that

[khinghung]

thriller thriller night

[TaiGekTou]

lol I love the music. What is it called? 'Cause I'd like to have a copy of it. :)

[fonz1974]

it´s the "monster mash".type it anywhere...you´ll get dozens of versions

bye!!!

[MYNAMEZCHRIS]

you can get some crates and get over the wall and dance with them, or kill them... or both!

[Squiddlysplooch]

lol the music made this video. Im gonna try this now

[yponoman]

i can't play thief 2 in my new pc. whats the reason? comm

ent:no way

[Stquinn]

I can't either. At first, I thought that it had something to do with losing my Ligos Indeo Video Codecs, but now, I think that it has something to do with installing Windows Service Pack 3, or both. Are you running Windows Vista or Windows XP SP3?

[yponoman]

i have windows xp and vista. the proplem maybe is the (turbo) fast runing of all the system. i install it, i play it and then stock.... shit. i have all ready take it for 3 times original. i have version and for xp!!!!!!!!!! my friend download packs (i think from gamespot) nothing. i dont now what is "Ligos Indeo Video Codecs" sorry for my english

[Stquinn]

Indeo video codecs are needed to play in-game movies. My game played fine but eventually, it started skipping the movies. I was content with that. However, it suddenly started hanging up and giving error messages. I reinstalled Indeo video codecs and now, it works fine.

[Dudeman24142]

part of the problem might be your computer (its to good)

some graphics cards are to advanced these days to run games like Thief and Thief II, sadly

[sickpack82]

recently installed Thief Gold on my laptop. Intel Centrino 1,8GHz, 2MB Cache, WinXP, and Ati Mob. Radeon X700. My Lap is 3 years old, Thief is 10 years old - but it works just fine, played through it a couple of minutes ago :-)

[Dontusehaxfax101]

@Stquinn @yponoman Load task manager before running thief 2 and then alt-tab to it after starting at the main menu. Then, if you go to "processes" and select "thief2.exe", right-click and select "set affinity". If you set it to 1 CPU that generally stops it crashing and running too fast.

[plplplplomg]

@yponoman You should look for ddfix and also change processor core affinity or sth so that only one is used if u have dual core proc

[sokarofnaytu]

the engine cant cope with multi core processes, u have 2 start the game, the bring up the task manager and set the processor affinity to just the one instead of both, that fixed it for me, its a ball ache but it works

[Xanatos712]

@yponoman Run Thief II in Windows 98/XP compatibility (to play the videos) and set your processors affinity to 1 processor.

Google 'Thief II affinity' for a proper tutorial.

[094816277]

The graphics on this vid (and sound) look almost like it's a mission in Thief 3! Excellent sound (at least at the beginning)

[veiklais729]

he hehehe he i haw go this mision a lot of times but i newer rilise that there is samthing. And if i know there ar the whay so funny?!!!

[Nottobeplayed]

it's the moster mash.. damn man i wish you had a better pc

[interloperftv]

you keep posting this. we don't care about your quad core. but hell, i'll repeat myself wherever you post this.

[UKPatriotsFan]

This was taken from the 2 characters dancing on the train in Thief 2X! Cool

[sk8orDieh]

LOL! fuckin NICE :D :D

[QuadX]

haha! WTF, how'd you figure out about this?

[Stquinn]

I read about this egg on Eeggs' website. They list 4 eggs for Thief 2, but I believe that there may be more. I submitted the "Thief II: Backward Messages" egg, but they either didn't get it or don't believe me.

[Hatakegirlie]

xD Just awesome. xD

[TerrorWatcher]

:D LOL XD

[PLATOON72]

AUHJAUHAUHAUHUH you're great, Stquinn

[jillym1231211]

[Tehan123]

They did the monster mash.

[Eizelle67]

Thats funny, must try next time.

[RosenJeanette]

Hehe, nice ^^

[latexi92]

[nightwishfanib]

[buchtis3]

[badboy50005]

[EdenEchoes]

LOL how awesome, I've got to try this to xD

[inu388]

uhh i tought the thief series played in the middle age

[snaged911]

lawlz the monster mash, hahaha im goona go try that

[GarretDejiko]

mucho muy bueno amigo

nah, :P i'm gonna try it

[StainSk8]

guys thats not lagg. its moving like that because of the recording program.(the video recordings that run smooth are edited)he just added the song.anyway good job its nice

[Stquinn]

Thanks, StainSk8! You're absolutely right. By itself, the game runs fine but bogs down with Fraps running in the background while recording. I've since then tweeked my machine using The Ultimate Troubleshooter and also bought a new computer.

[StainSk8]

np.use it wisely :P

[mollaELolla]

well i actualy gathered all the cutsceans for the thief series and all the missing parts of the story. made up a new intro for every game and a total intro for the series and an outro then i made a movie called THIEF TRILOGY.

2 hours containing all the story. i posted samples here on youtube.come under the name thief trilogy

[stivraptor]

ROFL i have to try this!!!

[Bajinka21]

lol where do you get the crates to jump over and join their dancing?

[Stquinn]

The closest crates are located on the west side of the main entrance. The storage room between the main entrance and the training room has 3 crates, and the storage area to the rear of the training room has 4. You can scale the wall with only one crate if you time your jump just right. The zombies can't see you, but they do react to sound. So if they stop dancing, climb over the wall and back again.

[Bajinka21]

Thanks! I got over the fence and started attacking them lol(green bood started dripping and falsh bombs worked too)anyways thanks again. (the dubbed music from your video is funny lol)

[deargdoom07]

Nice one i found this throuhg a walkthrough me thinks. GET A NEW PC

[re4luver]

laggy as hell!!!

[Eriknorr]

Haha, very funny!. But get yourself a descent computer please, such a good game like this should be played free from lagg.

[Maddermadcat]

Heheh, great stuff. I found that easter egg myself last summer. =O
