  1. List of things that must be in blah

    What's wrong with P2P hosting for multiplayer in a turn-based game? ZOMG HOST ADVANTAGE LAG I WASN'T EVEN THERE THIS IS BULLSHIT I TOTALLY INVADED THAT HEX FIRST
  2. The E3 Retrospectapalooza

    Phil Fish announces (and there are even odds that he cancels) Fez 3 at Horizon. It will probably be rendered Fez 三.
  3. Idle Thumbs 158: P is for Podcast

    The last computer game I played on a CRT was a little adventure game called Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?
  4. Just a shout-out to the folks in WV. Both my best friends in college were from WV and we took a road trip there for spring break one year. I can confirm that the mountains are gorgeous and the roads and infrastructure are terribad. The people were courteous and the WVU parties were out of this world. Sadly, WV is undergoing a serious brain drain as young people leave the state for college and never return. West Viriginia's motto was briefly changed to "Open for Business" in the mid-2000s by the governor, ostensibly tongue-in-cheek. The current motto "Wild and Wonderful" was decided by popular vote.
  5. Idle Thumbs 157: Molymoto

    Re:Totoro skeletons Some recommended reading. A preview:
  6. PAX East 2014 meetup

    Apologies if this thread has already been created, my forum search-fu is lacking. I'm currently in the process of getting PAX East tickets but that definitely doesn't preclude trying to organize a Thumbs meetup. Is anyone gonna be in town for PAX East?
  7. Cross-posting this from the Idle Thumbs 152 thread: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/firewatch-announced-walking-dead-vets-152227882.html Tremendous piece of writing, that.
  8. PAX East 2014 meetup

    Bumpity. Anyone interested?
  9. I too would be needing a turntable to enjoy the EP as the artist originally intended. My feeble google-fu has turned up two promising intro guides. Try this one first: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2012/11/09/a-beginners-guide-to-buying-your-first-turntable/ More in depth: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/88504-dont-buy-a-crosley-ever-beginner%E2%80%99s-guide-to-hi%E2%80%93fi/ I believe the vinyl EP only came as a Kickstarter backer reward for $200 and above, but you can purchase it separately now as well for $30. The KS only advertised the 4 songs. Still looking forward to the B-side featuring Jared Emerson-Johnson.
  10. I was going to post a response and encouragement to people who are still on the fence about watching The Smash Brothers but then I saw that horrifying gyrating robot and lost my train of thought. All the same, just watch the and see if it doesn't hook you. Now I need some brain bleach...
  11. People who purchase the vinyl EP also get a download link for bandcamp. The new Space Asshole is eargasmic.
  12. April Fool's Roundup

    I'm a little sad the Optimus Prime stuff isn't real. Could have been decent co-marketing for the new (ughanotherone) Transformers movie. Final Fantasy XIV dating sim update.
  13. Jake's Portrait in Danger Sort Of

    It will be my sacred duty.
  14. Jake's Portrait in Danger Sort Of

    Having a lordly portrait is a great resume builder! You're like the Lisa del Giocondo of video game developers!
  15. Jake's Portrait in Danger Sort Of

    Whoops, sorry but I can't take personal credit for the undeletion (a passing admin must have confirmed the flickr license), I merely restored it to his article. Had I seen this thread earlier I would have been able to make sure it was never deleted in the first place, hence the request to ping me if something like this happens again. Or to just shoot the breeze about Wikipedia drama.
  16. Jake's Portrait in Danger Sort Of

    The file has been undeleted and majesty restored. Ping me on twitter next time Wikipedia bullshit happens since I'm generally pretty versed in it.
  17. Batmazement: Knightly Man Bruce

    Gem of a quote: "Nothing stops the Batmobile. It's pretty much an unstoppable force." source: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/arkham-knight-features-absurdly-detailed-batmobile-and-no-multiplayer
  18. Persona 5 confirmed for release in 2015, the year of the PS3. Petition to change thread title. http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/25/5444284/persona-5-coming-to-na-in-2015-spin-off-titles-to-be-localized#217322609
  19. Stay tuned for the hardbound compilation of the Campo Santo Quarterly in 2015, the year of the PS3. https://twitter.com/axemtitanium/status/439106574049898496
  20. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    I'm so glad to be a part of this, however small. Their reactions on the stream were priceless. Also, I'd like to note that Steve Gaynor's only edits on Wikipedia are to add Jake's portrait to his Wikipedia page.
  21. I vote we change the name of the topic to "Panic at the Santo".
  22. Point and click on the jungle. Use grapple with chain on Lord.
  23. Idle Thumbs 118: A Simple Litter

    I look away for a day and this thread goes bonkers. ilu guys.
  24. Idle Thumbs 118: A Simple Litter

    This website looks like it was made in 2002, but the 2011 memes give it away. One correction/clarification about this email. While Smash Bros doesn't rely on complicated strings of inputs to differentiate skill, on a base gameplay mechanics level, the metagame and advanced techniques do incorporate frame-perfect button inputs. Yes, Fox is a good character because he has high mobility in a game where button complexity is equalized. However, Fox in particular ALSO has some of the most button intensive techniques in the game, including and , which can give him a huge (theoretical) advantage over other characters if you have the dexterity and tech skill to pull it off consistently. Fox is widely considered to be the best character in the game, but the character hadn't won a major tournament in many years because other characters played optimally with lower skill ceilings could beat a sub-optimal Fox player... until EVO 2013.
