  1. YOUR WOLD!

    "Not only will there be hookerbots and me and a few others have come up with some great ideas about them. ;-) You all are going to love it. There are going to be Lady and Gentleman's clubs as well. Let your minds think on that as well."
  2. Your first gaming device...

    An NES. A riveting and unique answer, I know.
  3. House of Leaves

    I think I would agree with this.
  4. House of Leaves

    Fair enough. Like I said, I only read about a hundred pages into it before quitting, so the concept likely didn't have time to really click with me I don't guess. Still, I guess I just prefer a plain ol' wall of text with my books.
  5. Mass Effect 3

    Blocky sex scenes set to Theory of a Deadman don't do it for you?
  6. House of Leaves

    I've tried to get into this several times and I fall out completely after the first hundred pages or so every time. It's convoluted for the sake of being convoluted. I can just see Danielewski thinking about crap like printing the text backwards and then on the next page only having 3 words and thinking he's the most brilliant author of the century. I think people like it because of it's weird presentation, but it does nothing for me besides bring the story itself down.
  7. Visible Thumbs

    That I can get behind.
  8. Shadowrun Kickstarter

    We got one in 2007 and I'm pretty sure it sucked.
  9. Visible Thumbs

    I love video content, and I loved the Kickstarter intro/finale videos, but personally I'm way more likely to consume audio content than video content. I believe on the 3MA with the dudes on it, Sean made a point about how you develop a more personal connection to listening to guys as opposed to watching them. I think Idle Thumbs would feel less cohesive and personal if it ever went in another direction. I wouldn't want that to go away.
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    I've been watching through the West Wing for the first time and I'm in love with it. This looks like something that I'll love, as well. It looks like a TV adaptation of Network and I am perfectly fine with that.
  11. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I'm kind of obsessed with bad job training videos. This one is kind of creepy. It's also funny. The top rated comment being "Soundtrack by Portishead" got a chuckle out of me. v9kVyqUzXKw Now I'm going to be singing "Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink Abouououuuuuuut Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissss" all evening and my wife is going to punch me.
  12. Jerks in high places in the game industry

    I was going to comment on how I'm glad I have the free version of Draw Something and how they didn't get my money, but they're getting ad revenue from me. Protest uninstall!
  13. Three Moves Ahead joins Idle Thumbs

    Let me jump into the "Religion episode is great" pile. This show has bascially been the soundtrack to my morning commute since the announcement.
  14. Jane Jensen's Pinkerton Road CSG Kickstarter

    I'm not poopooing people riding the Kickstarter wave, I just think that only a certain type of gamer would be willing to pledge to these types of things and if you throw up a million Kickstarters within a short time frame, they may struggle to stretch what they're willing to give out. After giving what I did to Idle Thumbs and Wasteland 2, I'll probably be holding off on pledging anything for a little while.
  15. 0x10c -- Next little number from Mojang

    How many projects are these guys working on now? I fear they may be overreaching a bit considering how small they are.
  16. Jane Jensen's Pinkerton Road CSG Kickstarter

    This is how many Kickstarters starting today? I'm going to start a Kickstarter to fund the development of a sim where you manage your Kickstarter.
  17. Wasteland 2

    It's the sequel to a 24 year old computer RPG that no publisher would ever touch. Doing something no major publisher wants any part in is hardly "replicating all the problems of traditional publishers."
  18. Leisure Suit Larry in "gimme your money"

    This franchise really does nothing for me. Bring on that Tex Murphy Kickstarter, however.
  19. Idle Twits

    Might as well add myself to the mix: http://twitter.com/timwiley
  20. Life

    Life's pretty swell for the most part. Being a new dad is pretty awesome so I have no complaints there. The only downside is my job which I'm not too happy with. I have double the case load as others in my position at other agencies, and they continue to pile clients onto me without attempting to hire another person to help. On top of that, I had literally no training on my job duties when I started in November and none of the management does any follow-up to see how you're doing. The only time I get any feedback is when something I did months ago is suddenly discovered as being wrong. :shrug: I just got my BA last year, so my job opportunities around here are slim pickins until I get more work experience in the field built up. I start grad school this summer, so that will help me onto the path of something better.
  21. Rayman Origins

    I'm pretty sure the co-op is all local, but I could be wrong because I have only played it solo on PS3. But I do think the game is absolutely worth it. The level design is constantly fresh and I'd be willing to say that it's one of the best looking games I've played thanks to the art work. On top of that, it's fun. It gets a from me.
  22. LOST

    Lost was not without its problems or bad episodes, but the communal aspect that came from it among my friends and the communities I visited online will ensure that my experience with another show will never be as enjoyable.I was mostly fine with how things tied up, even if some of it was kind of goofy. I honestly thought pretty much everything "made sense" by the end, as well. Again, it's explanation may have been a little goofy, but pretty much every significant aspect of the series was wrapped up by the time the ending credits rolled. Even if I did have problems with the ending, I'm one of those people that really don't get worked up over endings I'm not happy with if I enjoyed getting there. If a TV series can keep me entertained for 120 hours and provide endless discussion between friends, then it was a successful TV series even if the last few hours aren't perfect.
  23. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Thanks!
  24. I'm going to use this opportunity to announce that my favorite episode title is "Don't Look at Me, I'm Hideo." Me neither, but I noticed it in a few places when the Kickstarter was initially announced (such as the NeoGAF thread).
  25. The title of this episode of 3MA totally reads like the title of a Thumbs episode. The beginning of your tyrannical rule?
