  1. V The Elder Scrolls

    The combat still seems to be 'beating someone with a sack of rubber potatos though'. I dislike the bounciness of the combat in Oblivion/Fallout, and it doesn't seem like they've fixed it. So, for me, it's a game I think I can wait on that I otherwise would have devoured for hundreds of hours as soon as it was released.
  2. Wheres all the multiplayer networking gone?

    Due to the return of Formula Thumb and the potential return of Left 4 Thumb, I thought I'd revive this with a list of games I'd like to play with some people here. Formula Thumb - FM3 is one of my favorite games ever, and with FM4 coming out this year, no reason to stop anytime soon. TF2 - gotten back into this after a long long time away. It's free now, and apparently none of the crap that covers the menu even matters anyway, so it'd be a good time for new people to jump in. Minecraft - we just got a new server, come build on it, or give me ideas. Left 4 Thumbs 2 - I've only ever finished the first campaign; it'd be nice to play through with some other people who're new to the game/veterans who want to go east/toy with us. Magicka - Haven't made it past the first chapter due to all the network problems from when it launched. Trenched - just for North Americans for the time being, but going through and getting golds with everybody would be fun. Shogun 2 - I'd enjoy playing some online battles with/against people or maybe even walking through someone through a coop campaign if they want to get into the Total War series (this is definitely the best one to do it). Old multiplayer sessions/some ideas: DoW GTAIV Arma II Free to Play Red Dead Redemption new Magic: Duel of the Planeswalkers 2012? My hopes are to organize/spur stuff so more people will participate. I'm thinking maybe biweekly TF2 sessions, Forza, Magicka, and L4D2 probably have the widest base/most potential to happen with some regularity.
  3. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I've never finished more than one of the campaigns, so I'd be up for some.
  4. Formula Thumb

    I disagree. The upgrades you do make a HUGE difference - you've either got an Italian rocketboat made out of understeer, or a German spidermonkey fueled on caffiene and oversteer. I think I've got a Viper set-up that I like. Thanks to all-wheel drive lowering the index a lot, despite shooting up its grip, I've got like 800hp on it.
  5. Formula Thumb

    I've got a B-Class Stratos for some rally racing. Looks like I've got a car for every class that I really like except for S. Never really clicked with anything in that class, so I'll see what I can scrounge up.
  6. Recently completed video games

    Did you make it to/through the Water Temple. Man I used to have that thing down to like 20 minutes start to finish. I busted out my Gamecube games to hook up to my Wii. The character models in Windwaker still look great, but the environments, especially when blurred in the distance, don't look great. Also, when will Nintendo learn how to design a control scheme for third person games? Stupid Z-camera. A bunch of good games here that I got really far in, but never finished - Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Killer7.
  7. Recently completed video games

    I did that with Twilight Princess. Sadly I never got past like one dungeon in Windwaker...
  8. General Video Game Deals Thread

    The only things I've gotten so far are the Fallout NV DLC. I'm thinking of grabbing Darksiders if it drops some more or maybe Dirt 2 or 3. Doesn't seem to be as much new stuff in this sale as there usually is.
  9. Formula Thumb

    What are the most common races? I've only participated once before and didn't always have a car ready to go for whatever race.
  10. Issues downloading old thumbs on iTunes

    Ok, here's the songs and 30-31. The tags might be a bit off on the songs because I redid them myself. I think they're set as Chris Remo for the artist and The Idle Thumbs Album for album. I am missing a couple of the songs though, what I do have is in the list above.
  11. Issues downloading old thumbs on iTunes

    I have all these in MP3: A Letter to Edge The Ballad of John Riccitello The Fable of Love The Fanboy's Lament Remember Sincerely These Nuts Space Asshole Stop (Doing Interviews) The Wizard Ultra Boost Do you need me to put them up? I've got these too if you need them Jake.

    I built a self-constructing wall/floor/bridge exhibition in the newly-constructed, Venture Bros. inspired Squid Division Venture Industries factory in my complex. Just follow the directions and marvel!

    I got my 1x2 seamless door to work on one circuit. the problem with pistons is that a lot of the time you need one set to fire first to open something, but then fire second to close. I have them set up to push them sideways then they touch a wire that pushes them forward. It's installed in my complex and I'm installing it in spawn.

    When does the server backup? I'll mess with that thing again when no one else is on/no one will lose any work.
  15. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Shogun 2 is on sale -40% on Steam today. You know what to do!
  16. Idle Trenched

    Well they may be interested, but they're probably more concerned with getting it out in Europe first.
  17. Iron Brigade

    Marketing money already spent, etc. Though that might be nothing compared to what the time and legal fees would be.
  18. Iron Brigade

    Damn that sucks. Hopefully it comes out quick, the game is pretty great. I agree that it does need an endless mode AND a harder version of the first levels. I wish the amount of enemies scaled to your level. They mentioned DLC plans on their twitter, so I'd expect and endless mode there.
  19. Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server

    Yeah, it was just those two that I had on an infinite, fast repeater loop that had been going for about 20 minutes already when the server crashed.
  20. Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server

    That was me . I built one of these cmyEi-GyB0E So apparently having two pistons constantly firing is too much. Sorry! I'm ok with rolling back.
  21. Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server

    Yeah it looks an awful lot like a ribbed condom or something. The actual feat is the water inside.
  22. Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server

    My latest building is done. I present, the Mherkin: You can access it from the top or from underneath. The water is still - an incredibly frustrating and time intensive feat (thanks again to Thompson and anvil for the help). Hopefully it'll spawn some squids. It's west of my complex.
  23. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I presume that by 'acting less' he means he only has to say 'NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO' instead of 'NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO'

    Man I can't wait for the modding API. ndVVrZqHqA8
