I'm not sure if this has been linked in any of the other episode threads, but if anybody was looking for the track used as the theme music, you'll find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SERGZh6XB2M

XCOM is great. Jake Solomon is great. I'm going to enjoy this one a lot. Thanks Steve.

I can only assume Jake was taken by robots before he had time to complete the thread title, but he was at least able to hit the "Submit" button in a final defiant act against the machines. Godspeed Jake.

Woo! I've been looking forward to this.

It really depends on distance, as you'd probably expect. That said, I played a few games today against random players from matchmaking and had a pretty smooth experience. I am absolutely loving what I've played so far. Can't wait to play it with friends the next time we have a meetup. This local multiplayer resurgence we seem to be having lately is making me extremely happy.

Great. This week's robot news made me suddenly laugh while I was eating, causing me to Thanks guys.

And now I want this to happen for real. https://twitter.com/nickbreckon/status/400455941906112513

Awesome. I'll have to give this a try.

This game is half price on steam until November 1st. If you haven't tried the game yet and all of the chatter on this thread and on the cast has your interest piqued, now would be a good time to give it a shot.

My goodness. More please.

This episode was great, a real joy to listen to. It was the highlight in my otherwise crummy day, so thank you.

Cool, how exciting. The Thumb empire grows.

He was talking about Jason Killingsworth, so my guess would be that he was referring to this: I think a red frog may have exploded in a shop. I almost survived that level.

Speaking of Tom Francis, he recently set up the new Spelunky Explorers Club (formerly here) for the compilation of daily challenge runs. My favourites to watch so far have been Tom Francis and Anthony Burch. It's interesting to see how their polite rivalry plays out, to the point where they're now starting to influence each others playstyles.

Oh man, This is what I crave. Cannot wait.

This error message ruined my day. But other than that, I had great fun with you guys. GG guys. GG.

Oh yeah, you're right about that. The same goes for the journal entries and unlockable characters (The characters are entirely cosmetic).

Yeah, can confirm that the progress slate is cleaned after every death. Apart from any shortcuts you may have unlocked, they do persist (but in many ways it's actually harder to complete the game if you use them). Cannot wait for August to arrive. I can finally retire my Xbox 360, since this was the only game I owned for it.

You guys did a fine job. I saw a ton of people excited for this game too which is great.

For anyone who wants to watch the Vanaman/Molyneux talk in full, here it is.

I lost my marbles in excitement when I saw this earlier today. More Fez is great news. More Disasterpeace is even better news. Consider me hyped.

Awesome! Before I start to listen to this I'd just like to commend the person who wrote the description text for this week's cast. Upon getting the reference, it made me laugh and inadvertently spill my drink all over my desk.

I know right? When I finally realised, it was like figuring out the joke behind "Miles Prower" all over again.

I think one of the Thumbs tweeted earlier to say the episode was eaten by the audio hardware again. Although now I can't find the tweet and it's driving me mad and making me think I made it up in my head. (Edit: This forum has weird emoticons. An angry tomato for a sad face? Well now I've seen everything.)
