I am reluctant about asking this. I’m sure i’m not the only one to have noticed it but.
Jasper Knight = Jesper Kyd anyone?
There are posts on reddit and Hitman fandom but no real information about it. Jasper Knight physically looks like the composer and we get to literally send him to the stars which is both comical and symbolic. Since Kyd didn’t compose any soundtrack after Blood Money, did something happen between him and IO? Or maybe Kyd and IO are in good terms and it’s a just a very efficient inside joke. I’m really curious to know.
Afaik Jesper Kyd was friends with the original founders of IO Interactive and lived in Copenhagen, thats how he got involved with Hitman and IO. If i remember correctly he moved somewhere else and is obviously quite busy making soundtracks for other games nowadays.
Maybe he is too expensive nowadays.
Also Giles Northcott from Contracts looks very much like him.
EDIT: but thats all hearsay, but they tried to replace David Bateson in Absolution too, so who knows

Ah! See? There’s ANOTHER thing I learned today. I didn’t have enough foreknowledge about Woody Guthrie to have recognized the sticker but, knowing IO, it’s probably an homage of some sort.

I’m very sure someone once posted a video here, about The Bank level. In it, you could dismiss the guy at the Stock Market computer with a specific disguise and a dialogue prompt.
I’m trying to do that now, and can’t seem to get it to trigger. Neither the Investment Banker or Fired Banker disguise can ask the man to move.
Did I imagine that feature or am I not doing it right?
I believe you have to get hired as an investment banker.

Ooh, I figured out where it was posted. Not in this thread actually.
I’ll try it with the Job Applicant once hired, but The IT worker sounds familiar to me with that action.
Thank you Beldingford of the past.

It’s not the new hire. I just tried. There is a watch with an alarm though laying around. The guy at the computer isn’t the first guy to go get the watch though so who knows! I tried pulling the fire alarm but no one actually evacuated so I resorted to the vomit dart.

FYI, you need to use IT Crew disguise, 47 will say he needs to install some updates and sends banker away.
That guitar also appeared in Sapienza inside Hippie’s appartment. It also appeared in Mendoza, where one of mercernaries plays it outside villa.

ANOTHER another thing! Seriously, the amount of stuff I STILL don’t know about this trilogy (even after SIX years) is absolutely incredible.

I probably don’t wear enough sleeveless disguises because today I took a good look at 47 in this outfit and OOH he’s got some good MUSCLES.

I’ve wondered for awhile why the hammer is categorized into the “melee” section of the inventory tab while the screwdriver and wrench (and even crowbar) are in the “tools” section. This might not be as groundbreaking as I think it is but it just hit me today that it’s because you can’t use the hammer like the tool it is irl. To elaborate, in addition to whacking people, you can also use the screwdriver and wrench to sabotage things and the crowbar to open doors but you can only use the hammer to nail some skulls. I’m probably the only person who was this confused or concerned about this but it blew my mind!

For how long have you been playing Hitman now?
I mean, I know how they all work in game, that’s not what “blew my mind”. 
I was just too focused on how they work irl so every time I see the claw hammer in the “melee” section I was like, “Why?! It’s a tool! The screwdriver and wrench are properly categorized…!” Only yesterday did it really hit me that, “Ohhhhhhhhhhhh…! The claw hammer is not a “tool” for the purposes of the game… I’m a doof and I wanted everyone to know.”
Like I said, this information (if you could call it that) probably didn’t affect anyone like it impacted me. I dare say it changed my life.

If you start in Mumbai at default start point where a tuk-tuk crashed into a mini-bus, there is an oil stain on the ground but if you switch the camera to point downwards, you will see very beautiful and realistic stains.

I guess I’m always going to point this out, but the season 3 episode of The Blacklist, titled “Cape May”, likely unintentionally, is like watching the Wrath escalation from the 7DS take place on tv. The main character (in this case he had a partner), holed up in a large house with an army of mooks with guns about to swarm the place, and traps have to be set that involve explosions and electrocutions, mooks being pushed off balconies (in the exact same motion that they’re pushed off in Hitman), and lots of guns going off, until there are none left. How much of this is just overused tropes and coincidence, and how much did this show inspire the direction WoA ended up taking?

There was that one episode… I think it was after Elizabeth had “died” or Tom was killed… Anyway, she finds an injured guy who made his way onto her property in a forest up north and tries to nurse him back to health, then… Well, if you haven’t seen it yet - that’s a pretty good one. Lots of “Accidental Kills” in that one (if we’re going to discuss how it relates to Hitman in any way).
