  4. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Worst case scenario, you could claim it's a Short Circuit reference.
  5. DOTA 2

    I got several... which ended up netting me enough compendium levels that I got another Immortal chest and got the gold AM thing. So... worth it??????????? I have hat madness.
  6. DOTA 2

    The TI 5 prize pool is going crazy And it is because of this. Which contains this: Which is, of course, a reference to this. Video Games.
  7. I think the Idle Thumbs Dota people are scattered and disparate, bravely keeping the faith in the face of the onslaught from HotS and Neko Atsume, though they may go days or weeks without meeting another of their own kind. Does anyone have access to setup Events in the Idle Thumbs group to setup scheduled dota days?
  8. They probably thought they were talking about Advent Children.
  9. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    I made the switch from DevilUknow (an Econoline Crush reference of all things) to Reyturner (a slice of my name) right around the time I landed here. My login name is still DevilUknow actually. It still hangs around in some places. Neither have ever generated any greif.
  10. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Alec Meer mastered the art of the preview with his hot Space Hulk take.
  11. Hatred: The Most Despicable Game of All Time?

    Just like Tags and Curators...
  12. Fallout 4 — Boston Makes Me Feel Good

    Canon protagonists in shooters... Canon protagonists in shooters never changes...
  13. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    I propose June be IdleWriMo.
  14. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Don't get me wrong, I'd rather read games writing that's personal rather than a list of bullet points, copied and pasted from a press release. It's more how this article fits in the context of games writing in general: there are a lot of people (largely women) who are writing this kind of thing and, when they apply for salaried jobs at places like Polygon, are told they're not qualified. And then, one who ostensibly IS qualified is writing stuff like they do, only poorly. Check out Offworld, Critical Distance, Paste and Arcade Review (and others that I can't think of off the top of my head).
  15. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Yes! I was going to say, this guy seems to have read a bunch of Mattie Brice and Cara Ellison (and a half dozen other women who write circles around this drek but have to survive on donations) and decided that inserting himself into his writing was a good idea and forgot to be an interesting person who other people would want to read about.
  16. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    True but Splatoon is a team based, objective focused multi player shooter. These are more fun with good communication with cool people. edit: dammit I'm taking to Tberton
  17. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    People who play LoL and HotS seriously play with mumble / skype / whatever. As will people playing Nintendo's new Lords Management, Splatoon. btw, y'all know you're playing a Lords Management right?
  18. nope! edit: you don't have to subscribe, and also I should make sure I'm actually on the last page before I post one word answers.
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    I think Kung Fury is best watched split up into Vines and watched in random order over the course of a month.
  20. Idle Thumbs 212: DMCA Dad

    So Sunset is basically Viscera Cleanup Detail, right?
  21. We never did. I've been really busy. My next Friday that I can play is the 12th.
  22. Just... just the logistics of working in games and around games for the last decade and not even accidentally finding out about EVE. I'm almost impressed!
  23. DOTA 2

    maybe not in client but there's an Idle Thumbs IRC we can maybe take over? https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/9177-idlethumbs-%E2%80%93-join-the-idle-thumbs-irc-channel/ http://webchat.quakenet.org/ #idlethumbs
