  1. As someone who hadn't seen Twin Peaks before Idle Thumbs began doing the Rewatch podcast, I have been finding the podcast a useful resource to echo my thoughts on the episodes and provide details which pasted me by on my viewing. The Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller television show "The X Files" is a show held in similar regard but a podcast like the one Sean joked about on the Idle Thumbs podcast is unlikely for the large amount of episodes of the show and just the business they already have. But what if we used this thread to discuss the show, one episode every week as long as we can? Please comment your thoughts.
  2. Quadrilateral Cowboy: Dad Baud

    This is fantastic news. Also great to hear Linux and Mac ports coming in september!
  3. Humble Monthly Bundle

    Just saw the Humble Monthly bundle page after a long hiatus from visiting the site. The deal seems really good. Has anyone had experience with this bundle here or have any thoughts on it?
  4. In steam there is an option to set catergories for the games in your library. Do you use this and if so how do you organize your collection? By genre? By completion? This is mine. ∞ = Neverending ✓ = Completed ✗ = Incomplete - = Completing O = Open World (Which I want to keep playing like AC, Skyrim or Just Cause)
  5. Welcome to WIZARD JAM

    There should definitely be a Twitch stream of the thumbs crew playing the games.
  6. The Weekly X Files Rewatch Thread

    So, this coming monday we will begin with episode one. Episode 1 | Pilot Directed By: Robert Mandel Written By: Chris Carter Original Air Date: September 10, 1993 Running Time: 43 Minutes
  7. The Weekly X Files Rewatch Thread

    It's really really good!
  8. It would be happy if Spaff was permenantly on the podcast, playing as Nick Breckon.
  9. Thanks for reading my mail about my dear old Grandma Vita. Sorry Chris that it was almost unreadable, I wrote it on a bus.
  10. Recently completed video games

    I finally finished Full Throttle.
  11. The Weekly X Files Rewatch Thread

    Eh, I guess. I've rather enjoyed the early episodes I've seen so far.
  12. Recently completed video games

    I gave up on it. The art style is nice but I can't see anything really worth playing throught the whole thing for.
  13. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    kendrick said that its his favourite song off the album!
  14. What are the must-see TV series?

    Twin Peaks and The X Files would be among them. I want to make a list similar to those curated by /m/ and /tv/ on 4chan.
  15. The X Files Rewatch Podcast

    With the Twin Peaks Rewatch podcast being launched recently by Chris and Jake, coincidently Danielle and Sean have started rewatching The X Files. With the diminuendo of the Dota Today Podcast episode releases Sean hasn't has "the podcast where he feels most comfortable". But if Danielle and Sean started an X Files rewatch he would be super comfortable. I would be really interested in Danielle and Seans thoughts on The X Files and believe other readers would too.
  16. Listening to casts whilst gaming

    I, evidently, love listening to podcasts and find them an excellent form of entertainment for their convenience. I listen to podcast when walking, exercising etc but also find that playing particular video games while listening to podcasts can be enjoyable. Spelunky, Just Cause 2 and FTL are my go tos currently which is kind of a shame because of Spelunky and FTL's excellent soundtracks but their minimal narrative and dialouge allow for a focused listening experiances without detracting from my extreme gamer level. Do you do this? (I know Chris has while playing Zumas Revenge) Do you have any suggestions of games to play while pods are being cast?

  19. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    my new pandora replacement is this website which takes songs from the /r/listentothis subreddit and puts them in a youtube playlist. 10x better way than actually reading the subreddit.
  20. Neptune's Bountiful Pride: The Sequel

    anyone interested in starting up another game?
  21. Games giveaway

    Oh sorry about this.
  22. i can empasise with this. a few years back, maybe i was just naive, but it seemed to me like ubisoft were one of the more creative AAA studios. Maybe they still are, I mean their Rayman/Child of Light/Valiant Hearts teams have been quite an obvious push for Ubisoft trying to be more than money grabbing monopoly men to some degree but their constant format of upgrade systems, , unlocking towers, collectibles everywhere, quest systems and the story tropes you spoke of have all been rather prevalent in Assasins Creed, Far Cry, Watchdogs. (Regardless some of my favourite games still come under this format)
  23. Pleased to hear Remo say that Lovely Planet is an interesting and not a totally shallow game. I find the art and music really appealing from the trailer.
