Ben X

Oh man, that's brilliant! Can I play that to surprise and embarrass him if I get introduced to him, or does it get wheeled out a lot?

Brooker's writing is much better, more accomplished and entertaining than that "professional troll" one-sided, one-joke, tired old rubbish.

Bet it's just a guy who looks like him

Oh shit, I forgot about that. And it wasn't even him, was it? Jesus, any more stories of what a drunken pillock I was that night?

Oooh, I dunno. It's a bit far and it's full of french people...

It was an awesome event btw, Nach, well done and thanks for putting it on! We should do London drinks again.

TGP is on sale for £1.50 until Tuesday. Get the code and info here. As Ellie Gibson at Eurogamer points out, that's two adventure games for less than one sixth the price of a WOW pet.

The UK Thumbcast could take over!

You appear to have applied a fish lens effect to the far right of that last photo/gif.

Idle Thumbs gave me a hangover.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Man, I wish I could remember that. I did just remember being given the loudhailer only to blather drunkenly into it about how amazing Dan is for about a minute before having it torn away from me

Dammit Yufster, I thought you were making it to the drinks for a bit. Apologies to anyone I was too drunk at, and to everyone for not saying goodbye. Dan must have noticed I was getting to the Embarassingly Drunk level, because he whisked me away. I'll post that Idle Thumbs paper back to you. Was the other one Marek's, or can I claim it for my sweet own? I can't remember the drunken logic that led us to putting them in my bag...

Honestly, push past the cordon, we're all up here! UPDATE: JamesM is now with us. Climb the stairs, people!

Welre still upstairs at the back1 itls cordonned off, but you can still get up here til 2030

Ah, the area we're in has been cordonned off, presumably for Show & Yell. I think we're going to have one drink then head back down. Dan Marshall and some tunasnax people are currently here...

Am here! It's fucking huge. Bumped into S Superdouche but lost him again. Am probably going to sit up the marble stairs at the back...

Afraid not, it's one of my own devising: http://img30.imageshack.us/i/lucasarse.jpg

Also, I'll be wearing a Ben There, Dan That! t-shirt.

Or the IT Crowd? PS - I ANAL.

No, thanks to the (spoiler) mystical and nebulous nature of Heath Ledger's character, Gilliam was able to recast him for the necessary scenes with Jonny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. According to Gilliam, it turned out to make the film even richer.

Correct! New rule: everyone must have their thumbs constantly up so they can be instantly recognised as Thumbers.

Ooh, I'm not sure. I met Alex and Eljay at an indie meet, when loads of groups intersected, but I'm not sure if I met you. I was pretty sozzled (I've been worrying because I can't remember what Alex and Eljay actually look like, which will be embarassing if they're at this). It was upstairs in a pub, if I'm thinking of the right one, and Dan Marshall was there too... Well, hopefully see you tomorrow anyway!

We've been saying 1900, as any earlier than that is too hardcore for the Idle Thumbs BABIES. I'll be looking exactly like my avatar, so you'll spot me easy.
