  1. Idlethumbs changed my life forever

    The thumbs store should add a famous Vanaman calendar for 2015 January: Motorcycle leathers Sean February: Guitar playing Sean March: GOTY luscious Irish locks Sean April: Broken foot, insomniac, watching Clue Sean May: Rugged Campo Santo field trip Sean June: pre game dev puppy fat Sean July: pooched pop screen Sean I could do the whole year, but I'm fully aware of how weird this is already so I'll stop
  2. Nintendo 3DS

    Have my free game: Just enter this code at the eShop of any (North American region) 3DS, and your FREE download of Mighty Gunvolt will be ready to go! Edit: I sent you the code in a message. Hopefully a lurker didn't grab it first
  3. Destiny

    Yeah I'd love to go all digital but it's far to expensive I only paid £25 for it. I preordered it a year ago and at some point they were selling it at £35, so they're honouring that price point, and I had a £10 coupon/credit in my account at the time. :BrentFace: Also, I don't actually like video games and quit most within a couple of hours, so I'd get stuck with a lot of unused overpriced digital goods and feel like a right mug
  4. Oculus rift

    Oooops, I'm nearsighted. I always get confused between those two, evidentially. I can't see far away shit very well. That's how I describe it when I go to the opticians.
  5. Destiny

    Alas, it was not my destiny to receive and play destiny a day early destiny.
  6. Destiny

    I'd hope when you get your space ship and visit the crucible for the first time you'll be allowed to visit another planet. Should be able to blaze through that in an hour... Also, i actually bought this game! so, aren't i entitled to some PS4 exclusive pre-order shoulder pads or something? Capes are cool! unfortunately, i roll as a blue emo mage and aren't allowed to wear capes, it's one of the only laws in this dystopian future. NO MAGE SHALL WEAR CAPE! but i can sport a sexy little side skirt
  7. Destiny

    LETS DO THIS! my copy got dispatched Saturday afternoon, so i expect it will be waiting for me when i finish work today. I look forward to playing through those first 5 hours AGAIN grooooooan. God i hope the tutorial/opening hours are different than the beta, although i'm not holding out much hope Remember to join the clan: http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/147032 Check out the multiplayer thread: https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/9511-destiny/ huh, they seem to have gotten rid of the confusing 'select a platform' bit on the clan page which is good
  8. I'd absolutely love it if there were a giant pickled pickle jar in the watchtower. Like a massive vat of pickles Actually i hope they make all of Henry's hobbies and pass times really delicate finger work like cross stitch and miniature figurine painting, then just scatter all that type of stuff around the watchtower to screw with people ...but but but SAUSAGE FINGERERERERSRERRSRSSSSSSSS
  9. Personally, i think 3:1 is a good finger meat to world ratio, unless you want to play the piano, then i'd say about 1.5:1 Actually the more i think about it, the more absurd it becomes. I mean, how is Henry supposed to get a pickled pickle out of a pickled pickle jar with fingers like that? Am i supposed to believe that pickled pickles don't exist in the universe? Why create such a realistic and grounded world only then to omit pickled pickles?
  10. Oculus rift

    So, all this time I've been thinking I'd probably need to get some contact lenses or smaller glasses, as I doubt a VR headset would fit over my Joe 90 specs. I've just realised, I'm long sighted, I shouldn't have a problem looking at a screen 2 inches from my eye balls! I just watched that john carmack video without my glasses on and my phone really close to my face as a test I'm not a hundred percent sure it'll be crystal clear but I won't know for definite until I jack in for real
  11. What if theres a twist late in the game. Where Henry looks in a mirror and discovers the reason he has such large hands...
  12. At some point in the future Olly will show off his 'Henry' concept art and y'all love it and do a 180 on the sausage fingers. Also http://youtu.be/krdZ053x3DI
  13. Velocity 2x

    To be honest, I'm kinda down on it It's not velocity 2x, it's me Okay so I haven't played all the way though to the end, I think I'm on like lvl 20. It's still giving me new abilities, so I guess half the game is a tutorial? The last ability it gave me is a warp point, which I really didn't like, it just adds an unnecessary and unenjoyable complexity to proceedings. This game has zero player expression. The developers have created a single path through the game which you have to strictly follow, deviate from the path slightly and you won't get maximum points, deviate slightly more and you die. This isn't a shmup, it's a glorified paint by numbers The games just not for me. When I'm playing it I'm desperately wishing it was something else.
  14. I notice Henry has all four of his limbs Fucking ableists
  15. Weddings

    I'm getting married next year, June the 20 something (my girlfriend gets annoyed that can't remember the date, just like how I can't remember her birthday :/ there's more important things I need to retain in my memory! Like how to preform the raging demon FW FW LP..... Oh fuck, now I've forgotten that as well... HP LK LP??? Anyway...) WEDDINGS Now, we're not planning on a traditional affair. I mean, why does the bride get to make an entrance to music and not the groom. I want my special moment too! So, driving home today, the greatest song ever written comes on the radio and I have an epiphany. I'm going to dress up in a pink blazer, chucky gold chain around my neck, bare chested, with white shorts and trainers and dance down the aisle to this... (Skip to 3:45) Oh and shades, very important. Is he wearing fucking gloves?
  16. Weddings

    The Nutcracker Suite
  17. Weddings

    Good choice! Personally with Lionel I'd go with dancing on the ceiling This has been our first dance choice since before we even got engaged
  18. You know, I'm not going to watch that. I casually skipped through with no sound on and saw some stuff, spoilt a couple scenarios, SPOILERS, I'd just rather experience this stuff for the first time whilst playing it. FULL MEDIA BLACKOUT until the PS4 release... I might have a bit of a wait in my hands... With VR support... And smeller vision
  19. Idle Interviews #2 Chris Remo (Musician, designer)

    For a giggle, when you interview Jake you should just ask him the top 10 job interview questions. Can you give me an example where you have gone the extra mile? What is your greatest weakness? Sell me this Biro?
  20. Idle Interviews #2 Chris Remo (Musician, designer)

    He seems like a nice man

  22. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I'm getting Diablo 3 and velocity 2 tomorrow so I don't think the wonderful 101 is going to get much of a look in until about May next year Summer is over, the season of video games start tomorrow \o/
  23. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Yeah I've got the spring, I just never think to use it. Im already not a fan of the gameplay loop, having to create a new weapon every 5-10secs. It seems like the type of game where the more I put into it it the more I'd get out. But... Meh. What the hell are all the collectables about, space carrot, super noddles, coins, cogs and screws, secret documents, what the fuck are any of them used for
