  1. Broken Age - Double Fine Adventure!

    Space first... because: Space!
  2. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    I've emptied my palpal balance, hopefully we reach the amount for total awesomeness.
  3. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I'm suffering Spelunky withdrawl... I'm unable to play because I've only brought a nettop on my skiing trip.
  4. Recently completed video games

    DLC quest was ok because it kept changing stuff in a regular pace and wasn't too long. Evoland became stale quite fast and didn't really explore much of the RPG "evolution".
  5. I Had A Random Thought...

    I'm not sure about .nl, but I think the majority is sugar, but there's also a large salt group. In most places you can choose between the two.
  6. Rogue Legacy

    I wouldn't want to play a third person action game with controller. But for platform games like Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, Mark of the Ninja, BIT.TRIP Runner, etc. it works best. Of course there's also a bunch of games which have a shitty implementation and are pretty much unplayable without controller. As I said to Cine, when you buy a controller you should look for something which supports XInput and preferably also DirectInput. A lot of games depend on XInput and don't work with DirectInput controllers without using emulation software. The DirectInput is useful for older games, or SDL games, or game which don't really have gamepad support but because it's directinput you can often map gamepad buttons.
  7. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Nothing really special today, except that I've had the habbit to screwing things up. So I died in the jungle because I screwed up a drop.
  8. Return of the Steam Box!

    DirectX is already dieing. MS wants developers on the XBox, not on the PC. Development of DirectX has neem griding to a halt since Vista was introduced. In fact, it appears that the OpenGL standard is even catching up Direct3D. (That's the standard OpenGL, so without vendor extensions which are not part of the spec.) Game developers aren't going to risk losing market just to support a minor new feature in an OS version exclusive DirectX. If MS is going to continue to tighten its grip on DirectX then devs will probably move to SDL, OpenGL and OpenCL
  9. Return of the Steam Box!

    I used to remap the standard WASD to ESDF, this way I had more keys within reach (also, it's the damn home position for typing). But I stopped doing that because of multi platform releases reduced the number of functions and sometimes didn't even have complete remapping abilities.
  10. Games giveaway

    US or EU version of Psychonauts?
  11. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    wtf... you can bring the idol to the shop? wtf#2... the ball won't roll when you're fast enough delivering the idol?
  12. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    A nice cascade of hurt prevented me from entering the mother ship. I thought I might have been able to complete it this time considering I managed to survive a black market raid and had bombs, jetpack, and a shotgun. Also, my escape from the black market was a really close call.
  13. goty.cx - It's that time of last year again

    My GOTY list would be (all PC), more or less in this order (I think). Fez Stanley Parable Brothers Gun Point Saints Row 4 The Swapper Bioshock Infinite Spelunky The Cave Rise of the Triad Not included are unfinished/early access games.
  14. goty.cx - It's that time of last year again

    I like how header image of goty.cx still mentions 2011
  15. Is it just me or is the sound quite bad? Is the equipment dying?
  16. Gone Home from The Fullbright Company

    I think he's referring to Muskatnuss' comment.
  17. Tone Control 7: Brendon Chung!

    Damn it.. I'm running behind. Tone Control is much more difficult to follow due to its dense content.
  18. New people: Read this, say hi.

    "Sensical" is Idle Thumbs' middle name.
  19. I Had A Random Thought...

    sweet
  20. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    haha.. would have loved to see that.
  21. nidhogg - Steam release 1/13/14

    I got really far by jumping over guys and simply trying to avoid them.
