  1. Idle Thumbs 108: A Premium Price

    Good call. "Ostensibly" is already taken by the Giant Bomb guys, so that should be avoided for purposes of beef minimization.... or used, prodigiously, for the purposes of
  2. thecatamites Writes Game Reviews Now

    That Twitter account appears to have disappeared now, after accusations of deceit and fakery were levelled against it but there is a new thecatamites game about fishing. It's called Lake of Roaches http://gamejolt.com/games/adventure/lake-of-roaches/15060/

    Well, that's a nice setup. But... ...can you show us your computer room of IKEA box shame?

    Sim racing at its best!
  5. Steam Greenlight

    Woah, that was a verbal blast and a half. Though they did say that they hadn't committed to the Adult Swim deal that they couldn't back out of, and are now directing people to thumb-up the Greenlight page. The IndieStatik write-up isn't supportive of the Greenlight process at all. It even finishes by revealing something posted by a Steam representative on the private Greenlight forum. It reads as if its inclusion in the piece is some sort of revenge move for the way Paranautical Activity was handled. That can't be right, can it?
  6. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    Excepting the angle that it was another way of underlining that GTA V is a product of the highest quality, is there any merit to the possibility that MS is waiting to see how Sony will handle used game sales before negotiating, to ensure they have the upper hand?
  7. Idle Thumbs 108: A Premium Price

    Oh, about this Yeah I wonder if there is a little working out of post-cast-multiplication DOTAtension to be done. Guys, we care about you. Plus, having listened to more of the cast now, I keep envisioning the next Saturday Morning Stream as involving the use of a bouncy castle, three sumo suits, and a GoPro headcam.

    Well a Venetian blind is inside the window, whereas a jalousie is the window. I guess you have jalousies, like a real spy? Or gold plated, embossed, Goldblum-signed-and-numbered-in-silver-ink Venetians.

  11. Idle Thumbs 108: A Premium Price

    Yes, that's so true! Trilby: The Art of Theft was out in 2007, Tom Francis started working on Gunpoint circa 2010. There's even an interview Tom conducted with Ben Croshaw in 2010 for PC Gamer (http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/08/05/community-heroes-yahtzee-of-zero-punctuation/) so it's nice to think there's some sort of gentleman's agreement between them. Does anyone know if Tom mentions it in his dev diaries? thanks for the pic giantbomb.com
  12. Dota Today 1: QOP Top and POTM Bottom

    I'm not sure whether to read this in the voice of Jake Rodkin or Ryan Davis. Maybe both is best.

    Was it in the shins? Because that would seem proportionate.

    I feel like this is going really well, wooo!
  15. Gifts - Stuff for Free

    Raffle for Capsized! Clicky clicky: Quick explanation for the unfamiliar: SteamGifts uses Steam's Open ID system, so you log in using your Steam credentials. You're given 25 points to start with, allowing entry into $25 worth of giveaways, and you accumulate more points as users create new giveaways -- 5% of the value of each giveaway created -- which means people have to be discriminate about which giveaways they choose to enter. Hurray video games!
  16. General Video Game Deals Thread

    The curse of the new page, Mr Manz. And yeah, such a strong bundle. Almost, almost as good as Humble V. Oh man oh man what if they added Miasmata as a better than average? Edit - moving Capsized gift to Gift Thread like a gift thread newb.
  17. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Beat me to it Nappi! Average or lower: Thomas Was Alone Dear Esther Little Inferno Awesomenauts Capsized Better than average: Hotline Miami Proteus So ... I have a spare of Capsized for a fellow Thumb. Would it be worth putting it up on SteamGifts for members of the Idle Thumbs Steam group or would such a thing insult proud forum tradition?
  18. «Game Shop»

    A devious ploy by IGN to lure GameStop staff into giving the site a favorable mention alongside or instead of Game Informer.
  19. Idle Thumbs 107: GIANTBOMB.COM

    Please, consult the vast gaming knowledge database that is GIANTBOMB.COM/j-allard/3040-89526 Two zips Here he is at the Xbox 360 E3 2005 presentation, casually lounging on the stage floor, unveiling a new concept called "Achievements":

    So is Jake telling us that J Allard's style was modelled on Alan Wake and not the other way around? And is it coincidence that the games of Xbox 360 hype man Alan Wake games are this week's humble bundle, just as the Xdawg was #Xrevealed, or has Absent Allard been pulling strings all along?

    Congrats and good luck with Smell Studios!
  22. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    Was anyone a little surprised to see Remedy in amongst the action?

    How's your hype-o-meter faring now Mington? I'm off to do the decent thing and get some supplies in.

    Liking the exhale at the end of that. The Xbox 360's shape was supposed to be based on the concept of an exhale, wasn't it? YOUR MOVE BALLMER
