Hello! I'm completely new. After listening to the most recent Idle Thumb podcast, I decided I should finally sign up and join the forums. What took me specifically to do this was the mentioning of the game making workshop thread, which I'm really excited about. I'm really enthusiastic about making video games, and although my experience consists of messing around in Game Maker, I'd still like to participate. That said, I'm sure there are many other things to enjoy here. I've been looking for a site where discussing games intelligently was a regular thing.
I love the podcasts! I look forward to them every week when they pops up in my pocket cast feed. Oddly enough, I became interested in podcasts through the Escapist's Jim Sterling, when I started listening to Podtoid. Looking for other podcasts to listen to, I found Giant Bombcast and Idle Thumbs (along with Three Moves, ect), and I haven't regretted it since. Thanks!
Also, I'm an avid language learner and am in the process of learning German, so if there's anyone out there willing to practice with me, I'd love to!
