  1. The perpetual thread of praise!

    I will make delicious pizza for any Thumb who visits.
  2. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    Either the Steam overlay or Skype really cuts into my FPS, so might be next time I'll just play with you but won't be in Skype. I played a weird game really late last night. Only three or four guys on the server with the dark snowy map, and I was alone. I played Recon for a change, running about and trying to get at least one of them before dying. I actually got two stations before I stopped playing. It was surprisingly fun

    I've been having fun with applying for jobs. Surprising, I know. I've basically been applying for stuff I don't expect to get, so I've been relaxed about it. I don't have to stress and then be disappointed for lack of response. I applied for a Finnish-English translator position for an IT company in Lithuania, and I applied for a position in the Finnish embassy in Hanoi. Applying for jobs is a horrible pain, but I recommend doing this especially if it's hard for you. It's good practice.

    I make the best pizza.
  5. Just Cause 2

    GTA is perfect for multiplayer too, but didn't have it until GTA4.

    Cheers, EA, you ruined our evening! It was funny hearing you guys being confused by both my internet nickname and actual name was funny though. Shame I don't have TF2 or Left 4 Dead 2.
  7. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    Yeah, until we started getting our arses kicked It was fun though. I got the game through Direct2Drive so I don't know if I can run it with Steam. I'll try it. My Skype is prog_hume, though I don't think I have a mike currently. My Steam is prog_hume too.

    David Cage has no fucking clue.

    So, I'm brkl, and you should give me a friend request. What names do you guys use in this? I promise not to bitch too much... Yeah, I'm actually mostly playing engineer. Thing is, I'm pretty sure I was way more lethal with those guns back in the PS3 beta. Now I'm pondering using the sidearm rather than the actual gun.

    I propose 256 magic digits.
  11. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    Not really. I uninstalled it yesterday and then reinstalled it immediately. Part of it is that I hate the system where you have to spend a long while as cannon fodder for people who pushed their life aside to play this game. I always get shot and killed very very quickly by people with some weird sci-fi sounding rifle with a very long name and some special scope, while my pea shooter does fuck all unless I hit someone with it. What's a smoke launcher? I don't think I have that. What's the point of a medic who doesn't know how to apply bandage and an engineer who doesn't know how to work a spanner? I'm sure I'll love it after I've sunk 30 hours into it Sorry for being such a grumpy old man / angsty teen.

    Yikes! That suuuucks... Can you do anything about that? :( The Netflix story is somehow awesome... were the movies any good?
  13. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    This was a bad purchase.
  14. Mass Effect 2

    You're wrong, toblix, you're actually enjoying it but you probably had something that had gone bad for lunch.
  15. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    Well, you probably shouldn't since all Thumbs are playing it on a PC. Otherwise the games are pretty similar on the consoles and PC, except on PC you're playing with and against people with $300 Razer mice and 2000xsomething resolution screens all sniping at you from across the map with ecstacy fueled precision.
  16. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    It's not nearly as fun as on the PS3 though. I'm sure playing with Thumbs will be great, but multiplayer by myself is just bullshit.
  17. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    I have it. It's playable.
  18. Horror/Classic Lit Mash-Ups Are Driving Me Insane!

    Pride & Prejudice & Zombies was a funny idea, but there's no point at all to make more of them.
  19. Cave Story

    Can't get past a boss in Labyrinth. I'm about done with this, it's made for people who are not me.
  20. Life

    Aww, shit.
  21. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    That would be a rare thing indeed.
  22. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    Can you run it? just compares your computer to the minimum specs, which I can do by myself anyway. Though I did try it just in case and they say I pass. What happened to demos? :/ But a game like this is not really playable unless there's a way to actually make it smooth. I might just get it and hope real hard.

    What if you live somewhere else in six months time? It would be pretty complicated to collect postage now and hope everything turns out for the best.
