  1. What, did you accidentally try to touch him, or did you try to "accidentally" touch him? And where?
  2. The All New XBox Gamertag Exchange Thread!

    I could also be arsed too, as well. I think the ability to take your own photo, and not just have it taken for you, is super awesome. If anything, I wish they'd take that even further. Does anyone know if games'll start to reward you with new clothing now, or is it just as separate DLC?
  3. PC Geeks only. [Empire: Total War thread]

    Could someone tell me what separates these games from other RTS games like C&C? I hear so much about how awesome they are, but I haven't yet heard why that is? Do they have some unique features, or are they just good, solid RTSes?
  4. Munchkin

    Yeah, I've played it. It's really fun, especially as a breather between "heavier" games.
  5. A Prince of Persia?

    So he doesn't talk like an Arab from 24?
  6. A Prince of Persia?

    What? So he's flying around in Persia with fucking minarets and dancing snakes and he goes "Man, I could sure go for a " and something typically American, like a "hamburger"? Or did I misunderstand?
  7. I hate it when...

    I think it's time to resume this discussion.
  8. Idle Thumbs showing up on Google

    Those last two are awesome!
  9. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowowowowoooo!
  10. Every Wednesday works for me. Well, not Wednesday two weeks from now.
  11. So, Fable 2

    Well, I've installed this on the HD and played it for a while, and it seems like a fun little game. I'm currently doing the blacksmith job, having just been promoted to level four... it's awesome that they've kept this so snappy I don't mind spending all that time on timed button presses. Also, the property meta game (or whatever you want to call it) seems potentially addictive. I'm currently renting out my wagon back in the gypsy camp, and I passing the drinks stall, I bought it on a whim after seeing I could just afford it. The little income notice every five minutes, although currently on 19 coins each time, gives me the tingles! Oh, am I correct in assuming that the gambling part is actually adjusted realistically with regards to odds, so that actually playing it would be stupid? Keystone seemed really fun, but I quit rather quickly, afraid to lose my hard-earned (well...) coins. Aaaand, since the discussion earlier on sound physics and stuff like that (I think it was regarding the birthday party scene in FO3), I'm noticing that the voices sound really weird in this game, voices coming from nowhere, and so on.
  12. You really should. Everyone should! It has been really fun with three to five people, which has been the headcount till now. Imagine the fucking awesomeness of, say, ten people!

    Third result?! Not good enough. Not good enough at all.
  14. Okay, let's define a hierarchical model representing the different Grand Thumb Auto sessions. No, the last sentence was a hilarious joke. I agree that there should only be one a week, but I thought that this week's double feature was a one-off thing, and that we'd stick to once a week from now on, and I figured each session should get its own name, and I... I... I'm sorry!
  15. Never too soon to prepare, I guess. Make one of the magic polls appear! edit: Oh, and are people still up for tonight? How's the kid doing, Wrestle?
  16. I think last night warranted a separate number. Let's move on to 4!
  17. I added a new event for next Thursday. Too soon? I don't think so, but it's never too early to start planning for awesomeness. edit: Is there something magical I have to do in addition to creating the event in the Google calendar? Does everyone get notified or what? Do I have to link to some fucking thing.
  18. Sorry to hear it, Wrestle, but you're in the wrong thread! Hopefully everyone will be healthy and ready to rumble next Wednesday.
  19. Well, that was fun! Hopefully next week more people'll be able to attend, so I won't have to drive so far before being sniped with a rocket from a gangsta on a scooter jumping over an exploding ambulance.
  20. Kinetic typography in games

    Based on your recommendation, I definitely will.
  21. Yes, awesome. Also, note the number of items of praise in each podcast's thread: Idle Thumbs 1: Let the Games Begin: 10 items of praise Idle Thumbs 2: The Fanboy's Lament: 10 items of praise Idle Thumbs 3: Field of Dreams: 6 items of praise Idle Thumbs 4: The Fable of Love: 5 items of praise Idle Thumbs 5: The Wizard: 8 items of praise Idle Thumbs 6: Explode Mode: 5 items of praise Idle Thumbs 7: Stop Doing Interviews: 6 items of praise And see what patterns emerge when I cross-reference these statistics with various other sources of information: Idle Thumbs 1: Let the Games Begin: 10 items of praise Idle Thumbs 2: The Fanboy's Lament (1 Peter Molyneux impression): 10 items of praise Idle Thumbs 3: Field of Dreams: 6 items of praise Idle Thumbs 4: The Fable of Love: 5 items of praise Idle Thumbs 5: The Wizard: 8 items of praise Idle Thumbs 6: Explode Mode: 5 items of praise Idle Thumbs 7: Stop Doing Interviews: 6 items of praise

    So, will the DLC just be a pack of annoying time trials? Jesus. edit: WELL FUCK ME
