My god, Newbee vs Titan game 2. MY GOD.

Dota Today 9: The Dazzle In Question This week, Brad and Sean lament the lack of Breckon on the show, discuss more of Sean's bad behavior and consider the small bits of knowledge you, dear reader, can impart upon new players.

Done and done. The lost hat (it says Cody, Wyoming and has the bucking bronco steamboat on the top)

Before Steve left for Boston (and then subsequently for Portland) he was the third chair of the cast (replacing Breckon who left for Bethesda, killing the original podcast, hence Congrats Nick). I showed up and became a fourth. Also Steve wrote for the original Idle Thumbs print site so he's as ingrained in Thumbs history as anyone. We now have five possible hosts for four possible microphones, which is really cool, in my opinion. For instance, tonight all five of us are available so Thumbs 165: Kojima's Demise (that's the title I would give it, I've already decided) will be Jake/Chris/Nick/Danielle. I can't ever imagine a time where Chris AND Jake wouldn't be on the cast (ie: a Nick/Sean/Danielle romper room) but it seems like if everything holds steady the five of us will be the rotating regulars. (For what it's worth none of us have had an explicit conversation about this -- aside from "Danielle, you are no longer a special guest, you are just a Thumb" -- I'm just reporting the lay of the land so you guys know!)

Yeah, seems like we don't spend a lot of time praising the game (not that it doesn't deserve it, I have no idea) and just dumbfounded by the bucks.

You may have failed. But I've got some goodies in the to-use pile right now. Yeow.

i'm going to give up caps-lock for lent, maybe.

LOOK AGAIN, BROTHERMAN

she says "and I'm Danielle Riendeau." -- WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT

You can do it, I believe in you. Go to Adam's blog and see a photo of him and his daughter and then you'll realize your probably buying her an ice cream!

You can't hear it but I made this face when he said Boost.

Yeah, I suspect they are all other podcasts repped by the Midroll. Unclear.

Those are Miyamoto's children.

I just had to get a new Shoei because mine was deemed unusable after my accident. I face hit the ground at 30mph; into rocks and all sorts of shit. I didn't even have a headache. Not a neck ache. Nothing. Buy a good helmet, it's worth every single penny. Another recommend if you're learning -- easy to put on leg armor. I bought this: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-knee-v-guard I still wear this stuff if I don't have armored pants. It fits underneath my jeans and is surprisingly comfy (have worn it for eight hours, 400 mile days). The only time I went down I was wearing it and I guarantee you it saved a broken knee cap and probably a puncture to the front of my calf. Furthermore, it gave me a lot of early confidence when I was first starting to ride years ago.

I like Harry Potter a lot and am less doomsday about YA fiction (although I agree some of the points of the article).

We realized we were dead-beats and chose to put out a Summer Reads episode. We're going to do Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway in August and then Wolf Hall, finally, in September. Enjoy! On this episode: After a scheduling hiccup (snafu? derailment? disaster?) the guys are back to bring you their summer reading selections. On offer this month: The Spy Who Came In From the Cold by John le Carre, Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. Next Month: The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway and then Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel in September. We promise! Listen on the Episode Page Listen in iTunes Subscribe to the RSS Feed

Please, go on.

hey I have an agenda

!!!

I started a moto photo blog of stuff from both my actual life and just bikes I think are great. http://todomoto.tumblr.com

MARIO: Wapeach! I'mm'a here to'a rescue you! WAPEACH: Get your fucking hands off of me. MARIO: Waaaa?

Wapeach -- an angry princess who never needs saving by anyone.

The only pun here I could find was changing abyss to ibis, which is a bird, and felt not in the spirit of the thread.

Look how everyone just let you get away with a dog pun, you cretin.
