‘Thief’ Total Conversion ‘The Dark Mod’ Given Spit-Shine Update
90s PC gamers in the know have probably played at least one game in Looking Glass Studios’ Thief trilogy, which was pretty much Metal Gear Solid for the PC crowd (until Konami ported MGS to the PC). Even then, despite not selling well (just like Looking Glass’ own System Shock series), it still remains a beloved classic. And you know what fans do with beloved classics: They make mods.
The award-winning Dark Mod is probably the mod for Thief. True, it’s a few years old, but it brings a 1998 game into a more recent era. The mod is actually a total conversion of the original Thief that uses the DOOM 3 engine that you can download for free.
The mod just had a new “stability release” that fixes a lot of bugs, as well as tossing in a few new features. It’s not something shocking for longtime fans, but it does give that extra polish for those completely new to the series.
Do give it a look. I mean, it’s free, so why the hell not? If you’re interested in checking out the original version of the game (as well as its sequels), you can find them on GOG.com or on Steam.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
