Okay other people just love to run directly into guards all the time.

Everyone knows there are no girls on the internet.
But my computer broke in the move and I hadn't gotten it replaced and then I did but it got shipped to the wrong address.
Aww man that sucks. Is your pc going to get delivered to the right place?
Well it's not a complete clusterfuck, as the incorrect address is my grandmother's house in Chicago. The thing is she can't do anything with it or about it due to being too old. So it's inaccessible to me unless I can persuade them to go pick it back up and ship it correctly. They used the billing address instead of the address I gave them I guess? Guh.

Is this a Korean company? If it was a US company I'd say it's on them since they used the wrong address and you should breathe down their necks until they remedy their fuckup. But if it's a foreign company and they don't give a fuck, well..
Reading the newspost about this game
Holy shit this is cool
It's a message hidden in another message. In Monaco's case, all of the data that describes a level is hidden in the side-view image of the level itself.
Remember that Steganography is about hiding messages in other messages. For us we want to hide it in such a way that you don't even notice.
Every pixel in an image is composed of 4 8-bit values, describing how Red it is, how Green it is, how Blue it is, and how Transparent it is. That means that the color and transparency of every pixel in an image is described by 32 binary numbers: 1's and 0's. The first 8 are for Red, then the next 8 for Green, then Blue, then Transparency.
That means that we can have up to 256 shade of red, green, and blue. But when you combine all these possibilities together, you get 16777216 different color possibilities.
Bits: The Building Blocks of Pixels
In binary, the first digit of the number is the MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT (bit.. bit.. bit... echo echo echo). So a red value of 10000000 is actually halfway up the red scale, despite all those zeros. Modifying that bit will change the color of a pixel drastically.
The last digit is the LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (said in my chipmunk voice). So a red value of 00000001 is nearly black, it has 1/256th of red in it.
So if we only modify the least significant bits of the R, G, and B values of each pixel in the image, the viewer probably won't even notice! We're only shifting the shade by 1/256th!
DRUMROLL....
So all I'm doing is I'm taking all that junk level data from above, and spreading it like butter across the least significant bits of every pixel in the image. Considering that the image is 1060x480 pixels (508,800 total pixels) and I have 3 colors which I can modify (I probably don't want to screw around with the transparency data in the image), that means I have 1,526,400 bits to work with. And if I run out, I can always move to the SECOND LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT!!!
Since I compressed my data with Run-Length-Encoding, I've never actually had to move beyond the least-significant bit. The player will never notice! Especially with all that bloom and other junk obscuring the image.
You can really only see if if you take the image into an image processing program, remove the alpha, zoom in, and increase the contrast/saturation drastically!

No, it's Newegg. To be honest apart from the massive difficulty in contacting Korea time change wise their shipping is usually fairly efficient
All that trouble I had with my packages as I moved home was the exception that proves the rule, and I could have gotten insurance money back if the hassle of communication hadn't been too unappealing to me

Just completed/cleaned out the Infirmary level in the Lockpick's story. The game's been really fun up until then, but it was the first level where the incredibly flexibility of the game really came through.
I started as The Gentleman, scuttling and hiding my way through the first floor. A couple of close calls, but nothing I can't escape. A little into the second floor, I get caught in the open. Get taken down. "Oh, man, how am I gonna finish this without instant disguise? That's impossible!" But I don't want to restart, so I tag in The Cleaner.
I start methodically chloroforming an entire floor of patients. Sneak into their rooms, put them to sleep, take their money. No alarms sounded, no witnesses left conscious. It's a slow, methodical, kinda creepy cakewalk. Get to the third floor. Get caught in the open, bum-rushed by guards. Go down. "Oh, man, how am I gonna finish this without chloroform? That's impossible!" But I don't want to restart, so I tag in The Mole.
The walls this high up in the hospital are paper-thin. I burrow through 'em like I'm in an ant colony, creating a complex networks of tunnels that make losing guards a breeze. Picking locks slows me down too much, so I crash through the walls next to locked doors. I smash-and-grab my way through the whole floor, then high-tail it to the helipad and chopper away to safety.
It was seriously so, so cool. And I haven't even tried the multi yet! Hell of a game.

"It's fun" seems like a pretty good reason to me!
(but really, they're letting you learn the mechanics with lighter punishment so that you don't get totally creamed when things pick up, which they do)
Aww man that sucks. Is your pc going to get delivered to the right place?
I look forward to stealthin' with peeps at some point in the future
Just wish I had time to play today, but I might tonight.
I definitely want to co-op this so add my Steam ID to your friends list.
I expect the same, once I get my hands on this.
C'mon payday...

Let me go get a cold cold beer from our kegerator and see if I can get steam up on the conference room computer

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Oh my god I hate you SO MUCH right now
They submitted the fix to Microsoft so the ball is in their court.
