And play we did!
Cyranix played an excellent gentleman, while I swept up a few stray guards as the cleaner (which is vastly my favorite guard control character and requires far more finesse that I originally though).
So far I've only had time to really grok gentleman, hacker, cleaner, lookout, pickpocket and mole.
Not sure I really understand redhead or locksmith yet.
There's not much to understand about the Locksmith -- faster handling of doors and safes.
In which case I'm not a terribly big fan. It seems that many of the safe situations which can be gotten around using my favorite item, the wrench (silent kills, utility unlocks, the wrench it does it all!).
Smoke bombs a close second.
Pants- Troll- Suggestion of a good night? I would prefer it not be on a Wednesday. Also, with summer coming I'd be unlikely to join before 10 or 11 when I can join. That said, if these don't work out and most people prefer a night that won't do for me- I'm fine with that. I'd just like to see a Monaco night. I do know that I won't finish this game single played- the last time I played it by myself I found it more frustrating than I preferred.
Any night that's not on the weekend is good for me. In general, I've just been logging into Steam seeing if anyone's already playing and if not re-doing some of the earlier scenarios in Single Player to either clean them out or get credit for having completed them in SP. If I'm really up for MP I just make an event like is done with TF2.
I'm getting close to being done with the Locksmith story and I've started doing some Pickpocket story solo just because the large maps are a bit overwhelming. I'm definitely up for helping people finish this game, since it's been a lot of fun playing through the campaign with a full crew. Just send me a message if you want to play any night.
If anyone's available tomorrow (5/14) starting around 10:30/11 I'm going to try and help demonbox get through the disco level again. We almost managed to clear it out tonight but was stopped at the very end in our rush to find the last 10 coins on main floor. If we could get a couple extra people that would probably help a lot
I forgot my podcast is tomorrow not tonight- I will try to log in between 10:30-11 all the same. Would love to give that level a second go.
Seriously, the Pearls Before Swine mission can go to hell.

Don't think I've done that one. I'm around for a bit if you want to try co-op.
For anybody having difficulty with the Pearls Before Swine level, here's a video of somebody getting 100% solo:
The key seems to be is good use of C4.
I have no desire to replay that level. lol
He did make it look quite a bit easier though
Fantastic work tonight, crew. Prestige and Royal Flush cleaned out with barely any hitches. In honor of our accomplishments and excellent strategy, I whipped this up using some cheesy online Flash app:
Very nice. I never realized just how important a strategy that was. I mean people talk to you and ask if you've considered the afterlife. Now I have an answer. Yeah, after life I plan on being dead in the bush.
Some good 2 man runs there with Cyranix rocking gentleman and me rolling as cleaner (although later on not as deft as I would have liked from myself).
Man this game is good.
Keep sending invites for me after 2000 MST if you see me on. One of these days I'll be able to join in, I promise. I haven't played since it released though, so still very inept.

I'm in his same shoes. Sorry to keep passing, but one of these days I'll say yes. Promise!
I've played 12 hours, am inept, and still really love the heck out of the game. Single Player can be really frustrating- grab a friend.
Anyone interested in doing some of the Pickpocket story missions tonight starting around 9:30/10 PM EST?
Not dying in the 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-to-last missions of Pickpocket
O_o I'm amazed you managed to get a no-death trophy on Identity. Good times last night, I deserve an anti-achievement for dying too many times. I think I'm the biggest liability in any session for this game.

... No deaths on Identity is easier than the first mission -- just follow the credits to the car!
Oh hey, that works. Sorry, last night was my first time playing through that level. Didn't know the "normal" route drops you off right at the exit.
BAM! All trophies obtained. Hit me up if you want some co-op action today. I'm not much of a speedrunner, so I probably won't try that (at least not solo) -- can't wait until the level editor comes out.
Congrats! I still need to beat about 4-5 levels in the Pickpocket story so I'd be interested in getting a crew together later tonight.
I think I have five levels that I've never done (three locksmith and two pickpocket) and I have an additional four or five levels in the locksmith story that I haven't done co-op.
I tried to get the slippery achievement earlier today but kept getting exactly 1:10 and could never get under. It should be pretty easy to get with another player as either the lookout for quicker exits or the pickpocket to pick up the coins in the last part (which is the biggest variable of the run).
edit: I've been playing through some of the maps that I just need the single player trophy on and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to not try to get every coin even though I don't need to clear the levels.
