This is good. This is what I hope for. Now we've had the nostalgia trip down memory lane, let's mix it up a bit!

Yes!! Finn was so great! Edit: Spoiler tagged that just in case!

I can't see anything but Lynch in that blurry picture..

Wow, I wish I could remember your old name, because I probably have known you since you were in 8th grade... I haven't changed mine so you can theoretically go back and find out how much of an idiot I was on the adventuregamers forum when I was a wee kid..Me and Twig found out we constantly argued with each other on a Nintendo fan forum when we were kids. The Internet!

JJ Abrams was basically not involved in Lost at all beyond the pilot episode.

EDIT: It's finished! Well.. not really. It's short and ends on a cliffhanger. I probably spent most of the jam time fixing bugs and workflow issues in cwine and only spent two evenings on the actual comic. BUT! I'm pretty happy with a couple of pictures in here, especially the last cliffhanger picture. And it has a wizard, a puffin and two Idle Thumb Members in it. So check it out! Old first post: So, I'm going to make run for it and try and complete a simple interactive comic using my barely functioning cwine comic editor! Here's the first panel. Now I have 9 days to finish the rest of the panels! It starts with a shitty wizard, at least. Don't know about the rest of the story.

This was fantastic! You really pushed cwine to its limits! I love it!

Yeah, I had a bunch of little branching planned but no time to do them! Hopefully I can do a The Shitty Wizard #2 later, with some cwine engine improvements to help me out! Btw, check out Ben's cwine game where he makes amazing amounts of branching and stuff!

Thaaaanks! I'm super happy with how this last minute cliffhanger panel turned out, given that it was 3am on deadline night and I was super tired! At least it ended on a big, cool panel!

I finished it! Well, I finished a really really short and cliffhang-y version of it! Enjoy!

I thought it was good. It starts out a mess but gradually becomes a better movie. It's like the reverse of Up. Also, I look forward to trying to defend Cars to some degree when we get there. It's a mess, but there's some stuff there. Granted, I always watch that one in Danish, so I don't hear Larry the Cable Guy, which is already a big improvement.

This is a lot of fun, but I'm way behind now. Only on panel 7! At this rate I'll never get to the part with Mr. Puffin!

Alright. I've been thinking about starting a thread like this for ages. Here goes. After having a baby boy, who's now one and a half years old, I've been thinking a lot about bringing up kids in our days of video games. First off, I'd love to hear other Idle Thumb parents' thoughts on how they've introduced a video game diet to their own kids. Do you limit their time with games? Limit access to certain games? Which games? Is Minecraft potentially a massive time-sink I should keep my kids away from, or is it the very model of teaching creativity to kids? And with that, obviously, comes the question of how to treat their access to the ever expanding World Wide Web? I like to think of myself as more progressive on this stuff than my parents, seeing as I've grown up with video games and try and read up on it regularly to gain a better understanding of how video games actually affect human beings. But I still find a lot of question cropping up in my head about how much I should enforce limits on this and that. My folks, not having much video game knowledge, let me explore it pretty much on my own granted I didn't ruin their computer (which I did several times) and I mostly used that freedom to play stuff that was pretty safe and mostly non-violent (or at least not graphically so) until I became a teenager. But then, back in those days the internet wasn't such a huge behemoth full of vile things and free to play/MMO time-sinks. I imagine I'll figure most of this along the way, but I thought it'd be fun to hear other's experiences with this and maybe we'll all learn something! I always assume Sean will be the first one of the Thumbs to deliver a podcast baby and with it a litany of baby anecdotes. I love every time the baby stories creep into the podcast, like that kid who narrated his Minecraft experience with a British accent or Sean's Monkey Island adventures.

I really like it! It's basically Lost but with a big "Fuck you, there are no answers" right there in every line of dialogue almost. I only started watching a couple months back and I liked s1 but s2 is much stronger. Aside from Eccleston, Carrie Coon is also fantastic! And Justin Theroux has grown on me after almost two seasons!

Having opened up and tried his test comic I can attest that it's totally brillo and much better than my three panels. :tup: Also, thanks for bug testing my barely functioning cwine engine, Ben!!

That's just fan art. Not from the Double Fine remaster. I bet Ben will be in here in a moment to explain how that image is rubbish.

No, if we're going to do a Pixar rewatch, we have to include both Cars. I watch the first one regularly with my son and even though it's completely rubbish I always find something I like in it and I'd be interested in hearing people's wildly different opinion on why Cars is rubbish! We must all face the Cars. I'll have to try and scramble some thoughts about Finding Nemo sometime. Short version, I have become a sucker for father-son stories at this time in my life. I've watched it way too many times with my son and I get teary-eyed at the end of it..

It would have to be like four puffins standing on top of each other.

Alright, here's the first actual main character, because that shitty wizard is not the main character I have decided. It's Mr. Puffin.

The hub world is the Psychonauts HQ! Rad!

Just going to quickly say that Monsters University gets a bad rep. I wasn't into it on the first viewing, but I've come to really appreciate much of it on repeated viewings. It's like an inverse Pixar story curve, in that it starts out a mess but gradually gets better until it really nails the ending in a very simple and efficient way. It also refreshingly dumps the almost standard “you can do ANYTHING you want, as long as you put your mind to it!” kids movie message, which it seems to be building up to. It's definitely less of a mess than Cars. Also, DORY IS THE BEST, YOU ARE BOTH WRONG! :(

I backed it before even seeing the video!

This is where I wanted to put my shitty wizard, who speaks in runes.
