When I ran across the GIF above I spent — no bullshit — a good five minutes transfixed by it, just watching the key going in and out of the lock over and over and over again. While I’m sure Dr. Freud would find other motives for my doing so, I was truly just caught in a “SO THAT’S HOW THAT WORKS” spellbound state. And I think some of you will too.

I watched the lockpick one three times and still don’t get it. The youtube commenters were very helpful, though.
Like reading the worst Michael Bay script. If raking is for noobs, I wonder what is for professionals? A cattle bolt?
+1 on No Country for Old Men reference.

I think I’m dumb for not having figured this out myself, but I’m glad I know now.
I think I lost all interest in in how lock picking works after doing it 50 thousand times in Skyrim.
good to see that some of the games with lock picking weren’t fully bullshit.
