Ok, I'm a huge dork for missing that character limit! But I have no regrets, because this image came out of it! That's hilarious. It has been a weird balance for me in getting more involved on the IRC/forums. On one hand I wanted to use my name at first, because my blogging/writing need all the exposure they can get. On the other hand that's unusual on the IRC/the internet generally. I also was leary about GGers jumping on something I say on here and attacking me for it down the line. I wanted to be able to speak freely/off the cuff/be a weirdo. I'm not it's sure super professional/advisable for a game journalist to be so active on an IRC/forum. Oh well, I feel like Idle Thumbs is an exception, because the community is so great. Anyway, thermal detomato forever.

Matt Leacock is pretty awesome. So I wrote a thing: http://gamechurch.com/play-games-help-fight-ebola/

I am to lazy to go back and look over this long(ish) thread to see if anyone already recomended Zombies, Run!. I own Reality is Broken, but haven't read it. Maybe it will persuade me to embrace gamification. Generally though, I find the idea of video games taking over increasing aspects of my life pretty gross. However, I really enjoy Zombies, Run! from Six to Start and Naomi Alderman. I have logged seventeen hours and forty-two minutes in it so far and I highly recommend it. The company also makes a walking version which Justin McElroy praised on The Besties. (If I'm just walking I prefer taking in my surroundings. With jogging I need the added motivation to get out and do it.)

I'm just gonna leave this here: http://www.polygon.com/2014/11/25/7282759/jurassic-park-hidden-ending

Agreed. Sad to see heart replaced with CG. Also I LOVE that when the trailer says "a Steven Spielberg film" it's Sam Neill giving the Spielberg Face. Spielberg face explained:

Like everyone else, I write about video games on the internet. Here's my portfolio site: http://www.marshallsandoval.com/portfolio/

Ok the trauma victim thing threw me off. I though you were working in both.

Haha, is that a reference to Awake? I don't care what tegan says, B.D. Wong is great; even if he's the only one that didn't turn them down.

Agh! I'm in full agreement; this was the greatest. I loved the accent, the Jaws talk, and everything.

Wow, I didn't know that at all. That's interesting. Are them some good, overlooked games that can be purchased there, that you'd recommend?

Chris mentioned how flush Roberts Space Industries must be. Now this is the only way I can imagine their office.

Also true of the OUYA.

I had to post this when they started talking about the self driving car prototype (and how it looks like a face). I had the same thought. Disney/Avalanche Software just need to sue Google for this design.

A release date or some sort of broad forecast for Morpheus would be great from Sony. Also, the year of Mr. Game & Watch.

I haven't seen numbers either. It will be interesting to see how it plays out though. Gamasutra recently pointed out that something like 1/3 of games that being released on Steam are now early access titles.

I also failed to mention, you can follow me or throw me hot tips @marshllsandoval on Twitter. If you want to throw down I'm THRMLDETONTR on Hearthstone.

HI, My name is Marshall Sandoval. I'm a long time listener and first time forum member. I've put off diving into the Idle Forums for a long time, but I figured if there's any community I'd like to dive into it's this one. I love Idle Thumbs and the way the crew discusses video games. I'm excited to join the forum community. Since I graduated last year, I've been trying to break into game journalism. (Feel free to tell me about writing job openings, haha).
