  1. Be careful, Danielle--Pokemon is a wonderful, but incredibly deep rabbit hole. ...I would know, I've been at the bottom of it for 15 years.
  2. I've been listening for a couple weeks now, but I have to say, I loved this particular podcast episode (enough to join the forums and share my thoughts!). The discussion about player choice was really great. It frustrates me to no end when people dismiss a game as being "too linear," as if the story the game offers isn't valid unless it offered you multiple outcomes. There are games that can pull that off just fine, but like Sean said, people think they want that in every game, but they really don't. It was really nice to hear the hosts of the podcast to defend that point of view, so thank you for discussing that! This might be because I was listening to the podcast in the car, but I had a really hard time hearing Chris in this episode. I sometimes had to turn the volume up just to hear him talk, and then turn it back down when the other 3 started to talk. Chris is a fairly soft-spoken guy, but in this particular episode I had difficulty catching what he was saying. Love the show, guys! I hope to stick around these forums, the community seems great.
  3. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Hi everyone! I started listening to Idle Thumbs after Danielle had her guest appearance on Bombin' in the A.M. over at Giant Bomb. I had been looking for another podcast to listen to (other than the Bombcast and Bombin' in the A.M.), and Idle Thumbs was exactly what I was looking for!
