We hope your mother has enjoyed her Mother's Day so far, and if you're a mother, that you have as well. In the spirit of the day, Bethesda offers this video of one of Dishonored's developers explaining to his mom what he does for a living.

And so the onslaught of Oculus Rift game videos continues with another game that I'd love to play with the thing: Arkane's excellent first-person stealth game Dishonored.

Dishonored’s Knife of Dunwall DLC—due out next week—puts you in the boots of the hit game’s stealthy bad guy. See how Daud differs from Corvo in the video above.

Harvey Smith—who you probably know as a chief architect of Deus Ex and of last year’s hit stealth/action hybrid Dishonored—has made games about secret alien UFO labs and supernatural steampunk assassins.
