  1. Piracy has hit a new low....

    Holy shit, despite the piracy they actually managed to raise a million dollars? That's pretty god damn amazing for a bunch of indie games.
  2. LittleBigPlanet 2

    This trailer made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. video games!
  3. Piracy has hit a new low....

    25% doesn't seem so bad. What did they expect.
  4. Making Music

    That looks intimidating. Do you guys have any tips on how to go about learning this stuff?
  5. Fallout 3

    That sounds about right. I've played around 70 hours and I still have probably a third of the locations undiscovered. Granted I have all the expansions installed. The main story is just fairly short and way more exciting than in Oblivion, where most people just get bored and start exploring. It doesn't really force or encourage you to go to most of the map. You have to do that all by yourself, which kind of does give the illusion that the game is short.
  6. Neptune's Bountiful Pride

    I could go for another run, but if someone new wants to join he/she can take my place.
  7. I need help identifying a game

    Aagh! I remember a hospital management sim game from the late 90's I think. It had all kinds of weird diseases like people with inflated heads and lots of people who thought they were Elvis.

    Down for Maintenance?! bu... but my Empire. What will happen to my peoples? Oh the humanity!
  9. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    These guys are adorable. video games a cappella with ukuleles! hV9qLeLvSOA NKa6raPDOVA
  10. Original Left 4 Thumbs

    I would be up for this. I too decided to spend my money on things other than L4D2 and still miss some good old Thumbs zombie action.
  11. Neptune's Bountiful Pride

    This is getting pretty brutal.
  12. Neptune's Bountiful Pride

    I'm starting to understand what Chris meant when he said this game absolutely destroys friendships. Even attacking a star feels personal, not to mention fraud. I feel horrible and I haven't even done anything yet. Best game! EDIT: Also, I can't stop making up lore for my star systems and fleets. It's pretty great.

    It's pretty safe if you just stick with the original uploaders you know are reliable. It's been age since I've gotten a virus or trojan of any kind through torrenting. "eztv" is for example the dude I get my TV shows through... Is it against forum rules to talk about this shit here?
  15. Treme

    You could always try Pirate Bay. I watch a lot of quality american television that way. Half of all the awesome stuff take forever to air here.
  16. He could be working on some super secret and awesome project so hard he doesn't have time for the Sammun-Mak!
  17. Other podcasts

    I was scrolling through this thread I have to say that I was really surprised this hadn't been mentioned. It just seems like something that would fit the Thumbs niche of loving the shit out of obscure old games. So I'm going to mention it now; it's the Squadron of Shame podcast, or SquadCast for short. First a little history. The squadron was born way back during the 1UP Yours years after the failed attempt of the Yours crew to regularly and systematically play through old "shameworthy" games and talk about them at length. Some people on the 1UP forums thought the idea was too good to be wasted so they took up the mantle and decided to call themselves the "Squadron of Shame". The cast is fucking excellent. They pick a game every now and then as a "mission" and play through it to talk about it on the cast. I've been listening since forever ago and even after all these years and it's still one of my favorite pods on the internet. They tend to have very high-brow and chin strokey conversations about games and they are loong as hell, sometimes maybe even too long, but it's still very much listenable. http://www.squadronofshame.com/ http://www.1up.com/do/club?clubid=95936 eXtreme recommendation. :tup:
  18. So good! That is favorite thing now. Well it sure as hell looks just as confusing as one, which is also what makes it so great.
  19. Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

    I can't believe that actually kind of worked. Damn this was a good episode. I'm really looking forward to this season. It seems though that Telltale has taken a step in a different direction with the story thing. In the earlier seasons it felt more like each episode was kind of it's own thing and the different cases were only loosely tied together with a recurring theme like the mind control or the mariachis, but now it seems like they're going for a more consistent story arc thing. I like it. Also I love the new Telltale logo animation, especially the audio in it. It somehow reminds me of the Everything is Terrible logo, which I guess is going for a 80's television special effects look. It's pretty great. Good job on that, dude who made it. And also, wasn't there talk of a scoops reference in the intro. I managed to completely miss it somehow. What was it?
  20. Neptune's Bountiful Pride

    Yes, I'm still in. How do I join this game anyway when it's created?
  21. goty.cx of 2010 perhaps?

    Now that's one of those things you just can't unsee.
  22. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Birds can be wizards too, dancing wizards that is! XM_oUJAhKsI
  23. What is the Mystery of Scoggins?

    Holy shit! That is by far the scariest video about gnomes I have ever seen. Especially the part where one of them is whispering to the dog. Waay too creepy.
