Idle Thumbs 206: Owen Wilson's Nose
Badfinger replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
Now desperately wishing and hoping that the progression is a band at the height of their popularity who slowly decays out of prominence and public consciousness regardless of what they do or how good they are. -
If you tried to do something to intervene when someone was causing harm to themselves and they don't know, would you ever tell them? Would it matter how close to them you are?

The Victorinox? Based on one day so far, I am really pleased with it. My other primary chef's knife is a Henckel's and this is lighter but the cutting was very good. I also have a cheap santoku I was using fairly interchangeably with the chef's.

I got a new skillet and a new 8" chef's knife, courtesy recommendation at The Sweethome because I am addicted to kitchen gear. I made some chickums for dinner last night with them, used this recipe from Serious Eats.

My heart's for sale to that burger.

I know you know it doesn't have anything to do with you, but I'm still going to put it in writing that the reason she's moving doesn't have anything to do with you. Don't let it get you down. I had this happen to me a few dates in years ago, and we both said "well, I wonder what it'd be like if (she) wasn't moving..." C'est la vie Ninjasquirrel, have you directly asked if there's anything you can do? Chances are a 14 year old isn't going to say yes but even just putting it out there that you're an ally could be helpful. I probably should have been in therapy for some of the things that have happened in my life, but I was too stubborn/young/ignorant/male to do it.

I will always talk about the Stanley Cup playoffs, it's just that the Flyers were weirdly mediocre and missed being in them. Hockey playoffs are still the best form of playoffs.

Idle Thumbs 206: Owen Wilson's Nose

I love, love, love that you're using different mixes for the theme song. -
Right, I remember now! And even with that in mind, he subverted their designs pretty often. As is the case with speed runs even when it's not glitched and broken.
-
Oh shoot I forgot there was more DLC coming! I'm re-excited! The Speed Run was really quite good. Was that one where they had dev commentary as well? It's interesting, I never would have considered myself a big speed run person but between this and Axiom Verge and a few other things, there are some games that I am anticipating seeing good video game players speed running.

I didn't know these had a name! @FanSince09 mostly complains about Philadelphia sports on Twitter, but he also routinely searches and retweets horrible mangled common phrases. I wish I could remember some of those gems. I'll post them as they filter into my brain. I'll be honest he's probably not worth a follow if you're not a sports person but that's where I see most of those pop up.

That is a cool chair! I was really interested in this board game described on the Tested podcast a few weeks ago, but it's not carried in any brick and mortar around here, and is a little out of the price range. http://www.amazon.com/HABA-3103-Orchard-Game/dp/B000ELORPY I ended up doing a safe boring Disney thing.

Nah it's my friends from college, one of whom was my roommate. I'm not worried about being judged. I was told a gift wasn't even necessary, but still.

Flame shotgun is great. Double Flame Shotgun is great. Flame autoshotgun, also great. Some of the weapons as you go deeper into the game start to get wild. I have earned a couple of crowns, made it further these last two weeks than I ever have. It's fascinating to me how this slots into my gaming time. This is without a doubt my "I have 7 minutes before I need to do something" time waster game. It's so good. I don't know how to get crowns consistently. I kind of want to know, but I also kind of want to just keep plugging at it.

I just remembered that League of Legends has "lore" and I take everything I said back fuck lore forever but history is still cool. It is really fun when the Lord react to each other in the game with non game-specific interactions, though. I'm officially torn.

She's two, and I guarantee none of their family knows what minecraft is. Yes I got the heads up that Frozen is a solid choice. The impossible part is more that I want to do in store pickup and it has been a frustrating experience to find something carried in a giant store.

Online Tabletop Role-Playing Extravaganza
Badfinger replied to Twig's topic in Multiplayer Networking
I understand most of the things on the character sheet, I just don't necessarily know how to fill them out. I feel like a grumpy rube, but the linked players manuals don't have tables of contents. Only the baby abridged version, and it doesn't have all the fiddly parts. I'm going to link my character sheet and just plead for help when I get home. -

I can remember playing XWing vs Tie Fighter and I believe anything below either 250 or 300ms ping showed as green next to the leaderboard. A quarter of a second of latency was a prime internet connection.

Online Tabletop Role-Playing Extravaganza
Badfinger replied to Twig's topic in Multiplayer Networking
1) I'm still completely lost on character creation and I meant to talk to people way before now but life has been happening. 2) outside of the fact that I'm terrible at filling out a character sheet, I don't know if I'm going to make it this week. I'm still game for this but 11pm on a Friday continues to be a hell of a weird timing. -
Oh man Nick is on the cast! I love when Nick is on the cast and in the intros! I have never mistaken anyone's voice on the cast. Thanks Gormongous for defending history class. Because guess what history class is awesome and I have never been a person who actively devours backstory in games. It is very strange to me that the Thumbs have a distant view of capital-L Lore when they create such story-heavy narrative driven experiences, because I find the hard break between lore and backstory is basically just a subjective line that's been drawn. I thought the arguments in the cast were internally consistent, and yet they still seemed to jump back and forth across what I perceived all your lines to be. The Wizard Jam is in Idle Banter so that people who weren't actively using the dev subforum could know about the jam!

I recall Zack mentioning that at some point. Something to do with itunes, not sure. http://video gameshotdog.com/allepisodes.php This will do all the episodes if you wanna do it from the beginning. I actually haven't listened to the first episodes. I just sort of picked it up and started. -
That's a weird way to spell "Justin McElroy".
