  1. Important

    This is important for Americans. don't misconstrue it as legal advice, though.
  2. WHo's who at idle thumbs

    edit:
  3. Technical difficulties with Grim Fandango, life

    most probably. You could try a clean windows install. or it could be that.
  4. Memo

    first post!
  5. Seen any good movies lately?

    Man, Spongebob was ridiculously good. Harold and Kumar was surprisingly enjoyable too. Both more enjoyable after spliff, naturally.
  6. EA's latest brilliant idea

    EA are paying teachers to advertise their shit in class Elite and various other decent crap was in my school. I pity these poor schmoes.
  7. Suspect Advice from Suspect Characters

    holy crap. I have to go to the bathroom now.
  8. Good FPS's devoid of money snatchers

    call of duty was fun and easy to crack. lots of maps available too.
  9. Psychonauts postmortem in Game Developer

    and that sentence deserved a why?

  13. Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4732385.stm potter sucks.
  14. Somebody justify Beyond Good & Evil to me

    So Idlethumbs should recant and give up these false idols? IT's a gathering of the seemingly few gamers who have the appreciation of those games in common, and that's why they're here. If you didn't enjoy ICO, you're probably in the wrong place. This isn't a flame, by the way. I'm just trying to defend an aesthetic that I see in danger.
  15. My favorite game of all time...

    was this better than Night Shift, which I thought was quite cool?
  16. Has anyone seen this before?

    alright then, how do we go about getting this article seen by as many politicians, parents, and people who can actually make a difference? A list of email addresses, maybe? let's use the thumb for spreading the word, man. you can make a difference! stand up for your hobby! end the oppression! for freedom! and um, better-fitting shoes!...
  17. Name this movie

    at a school camp?
  18. Gabe Newell bashes next gen consoles

    basically, I think it comes down to this: don't bother getting a next-gen console for around a year after it comes out.
  19. Name this movie

    La Femme Nikita?
  20. Any decent space shooters out there recently?

    someone posted this on Costikan's blog today, a crazy japanese shooter called torus trooper: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/tt0_22.zip
  21. Seen any good movies lately?

    apology accepted. I was walking down the street singing the theme to naked gun yesterday quite loud with people walking past me. What a sweet ass song. And movie. I also enjoyed loaded weapon 1 and hudson hawk immensely.
  22. Intro Sequences in Games

    Oh yeah chuck rock. What a cool game. That was core design, which turned into rare if I'm not mistaken. <meta>I prefer not researching opinions before I post them on the internet these days. <metameta + rambling stream of conciousness>The internet brain-implant thing that will soon happen (hankering towards the soul box-things from the culture novels) is sort of ominous to me. Some guy from microsoft has one I seem to remember.</meta>
  23. Intro Sequences in Games

    The Thief1&2 cutscenes were outstanding. One case where an in-engine cinematic would have been completely woeful in comparison.
  24. Intro Sequences in Games

    I sorta liked soul reaver's intro.
