This has nothing to do with anything but Twitter Lists seem like they might be pretty useful. I made an IdleThumbs one: http://twitter.com/#/list/gamedreamer/idlethumbs

Okay cool, thanks. I was confused because on the Runic forums people are already modding the game with proprietary tools, must be because they coded them themselves. Nice.

Okay, so I've been playing the shit out of this game on Steam and I've finally decided to play around with the mod tools. Which are... nowhere to be found. Am I just an idiot and not seeing them?

I'll more than likely be on tonight, if the demo ever unlocks.

Yet another way in which IdleThumbs has invaded my everyday life. At work we sometimes use a laser-level. Today, I just realized that it is called "The Wizard" (and the letter "I" is spelled with a cool laser graphic thingy)

I'm loving this game so much. Sooooo much. It's... a classic.

Holy shit. *phew* I just finished the game again on Crushing Mode. What a wild ride. I guess the only thing left to do is collect all the treasures and play some multiplayer. Although at this point... I'm probably going to take a break from this game for a while and play some Demon's Souls and Torchlight.

I just downloaded Space Asshole, imported it into my iTunes playlist, and sang along at full volume. Not only was my cat wondering what the hell was wrong with me, but I'm pretty sure my parents were very, very confused. Worth it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It's spectacular. Can't get it out of my head. And I can't stop laughing.

80% Complete on Crushing mode so far.

Thank you Chris, Jake, and Nick. The 'cast has been so amazing and I've had some great times because of it. Although, I have a request which might be stupid but here it is anyway: Remember those times you had to re-record podcasts? Because they just derailed and went totally bonkers? Did you delete all of them? Are there things that are hilarious but just weren't relevant for the episode that you cut? I think all of those things should be compiled into a special Episode 51 Bonus Podcast so we can all have a massive laugh-fest as a nice sendoff for IdleThumbs. Also, Chris, SPACE ASSHOLE is one of the greatest things ever.

There's a section in the first Uncharted where you are encouraged to use stealth. (the church, I believe?) I remember replaying that section a lot and taking down like 6 dudes silently in a row, stealing their weapons, and then surprising the hell out of the three other dudes towards the back of the room. So satisfying. I just tried picking up my pre-ordered copy of Uncharted 2 and they sold it. Kind of my fault for waiting so long (until I had the money) but I called them and told them to hold it. Bastards. [update]: Success! Best Buy had one copy left. In the back. Then some Mom came in to pick it up to surprise her son with it. So I let her have it. Then! A truck arrived. And a display stand! And about 50 copies of Uncharted 2! Epic win.

This is an old Quantum Box that my cat used to sleep in. Until he decided to destroy it in a catnip-fueled frenzy. The interesting thing about it is that I never noticed the text on the UPC/SKU area until just now.

Imagine the peripherals Nintendo could cook up!

On a completely unrelated note but entirely related to this episode thread: I was totally thrilled to hear Pyramid Head make a triumphant return to Remo's apartment.

I somewhat agree with this, but for a game that was brought over and localized from Japan, it really feels like a Western-developed title.

This should be added to the list of emotes available on the forums:

The more and more I play of this, the more and more I like it. It's like I'm redeeming myself for all of the hours of Peggle I've played.

Epoch time for the win. 1255285320

Yeah, I'm surprised at how well it's selling. This makes me happy. I haven't had a chance to see what the retail store situation is since I pre-ordered mine on Amazon. They had a shipping deal where it was guaranteed to be delivered on the release date.

FAR CRY 2!

I would recommend playing Max Payne 2 on PC if at all possible. It's really cheapened on PS2 in comparison. It was meant to be controlled with a mouse and keyboard Also, playing it with maximum settings on PC is a visual treat compared to the blurry PS2 textures and low-fidelity effects.

Yeah, I suppose it's different for me because I rank the Max Payne games up there in my 'favorite games of all time' list, so it's kind of like Rockstar stepping on a grave that deserves to either be left alone, or given to the original developers (Remedy) so they can resurrect it themselves and do a sequel properly. I guess there may be a slight case of nerd rage on my part.

I'm afraid people are going to miss out on it because it's going to be thrown under the bus once the really big AAA titles start rolling in this fall. In like, 10 days. "Oh la la la, tutorial time! Easy enemies. Wow. Really easy. La la la la tutorial la la la OH MY FUCKING GOD KILLED IN HALF BY A DEMON THE SIZE OF A ROOM!"

That's kind of beside the point, though. Max Payne just isn't Max Payne without James McCaffrey voicing him. Regardless of whether or not you liked him as a voice actor, it will just feel cheap and spin-off-ish without him.
