Abnormal Mapping 17: Dishonored

We don the masks of the harvest reaper to stalk the dank halls of
a far off land of clockwork intrigue and steam-powered
assassination, perched on the balustrades of our own mental
palaces, poised to strike in the blink of an eye. What are we
waiting for? Only the final strike of the witching hour, when we
will descend and offer up that vengeful mantra of horror that was
granted to us by the great Machiavellian evil: Thnks fr th vidya
gms. It’s enough to make a person’s blood run cold, robbing even
the most comforting evening of matching three or grinding levels
of hope and rendering it an empty shell of its former self. This
is where fun goes to die. This is where For Glory is only a
long-forgotten menu option, and not an ideal to strive for. This,
my friends, is Dishonored Halloween.


On a serious note, the Lana Polansky article we reference heavily
in segment 2 can be found here.
