    Not to burst your enthusiasm bubble, but you can't do this without the assistance of mods. For one thing, dwarves can't be mages. For another, mages all have the same mage background (no noble/commoner split).

    Oh well, it happens! Playing as an Elven Mage, and it just sucked the last 7 hours of my life like that.

    But why do I love it so much!

    Just bought it today for the modest sum of £10 on the 360. Looking forward to this, but maintaining some form of skepticism. I'm feeling Male Elf commoner tank.

    But the ability to be a commoner dwarf female mage...how can I not...

    As a British denison, I will be importing Pokemon Soul Silver when it hits American Shores. I did the same with Pearl, and got it months before people here. Good times.

    I'll give you Ghost in the Shell, but Eva is a master's thesis on how animes use constant existential navel-gazing to ruin perfectly good shows about giant robots.

    And if you're going to be talking about anime how can you leave out the one in your avatar? Mushi-shi is an excellent show, and it's available in its entirety for free on FUNimation's site.

    Hey, it was a TV thread, I wasn't sure how far I could take it ;)

    Mushi shi is phenomenal by the way. Excellent artstyle, coupled with interesting episodic narrative and music to die for. And the supernatural!

    Fucking Chris has made me TERRIFIED to use the S.Wizard. I've got to about level 14, and used him twice, and one of those times, he stripped my blue gun down to a white.

    This is all your fault, Remo!

    What Jake said rings true for me too. The first game is absolutely sublime from start to end. Every case is superb, all having such unique and colorful characters, they really make the game come alive.

    With the second and third games, some of the magic is lost. Like Jake said again, the whole introduction of the "Magic stones" stuff (Basically a way to probe peoples inner thoughts and find any inconsistencies in their statements. Not to say that the franchise diminishes within each sequel. Imagine they're all chests filled with gold. Each franchise is just a smaller chest.

    The writing, as aforementioned is absolutely tremendous, and the music is just right. I really can't recommend these games enough, and if you're an Idle thumbs listener, you probably already have a mild affinity to the kind of vibe that the PW games try to give off.

    And the final case in Trials and Tribulations...wow.

    New 2D Mario game = exciting.

    Watching Giant Bombs multiplayer quick look and various videos of

    = mind explode. I'm sure I'm not alone in always wanting to be able to have "2 player" in a Super Mario game mean that both Mario and Luigi could run through the levels together, and it looks like they've taken that to the most extreme extreme possible. The stuff in the latter half of the Giant Bomb video is pretty amazing.

    This re-awakens my wish for Nintendo to have a real online play system. Being able to get friends into a lobby and then jump into a SMB game together would be so good. Alternatively, I wish I had more friends. ;(

    Same story as me. This looks like the most fun I have ever seen. The visceral thrill me and a buddy used to have in NSMB multiplayer is still unparalleled to this day. Well, maybe running around spamming TIME TO DIE on Diablo 2, but that's a different story

    I want this, but only if it comes with 3 friends to play with.

    Or 1 :blink:

    Listen to the first few seconds of this episode. Jake says "Bargo Busters", then Nick says "That's the name of your podcast." What does he mean by "your podcast"? Is there a posibility of a new podcast which is something different than Idle Thumbs, or am I just trying to cope with the loss?

    I think you're trying to imagine things my friend :)

    Your was used as a colloquialism. Similar to how people in the UK say "Give us one" when they mean "I would like one"
