I was very surprised to see Idle Thumbs up and active again. I remember back in 2004 (or so) when people were jumping the Adventure Gamers ship, and subsequently took the rubber boats to IT. It instantly became my favorite gaming site for a year or so, until I stopped reading it.
I don't really play games anymore (except through scummVM, and a few PS2 games from time to time) - and I certainly never thought I would listen to a Video game podcast - bu after I recently stumbled onto the fact that Idle Thumbs had their own cast, I thought I'd have to give it a listen since it indeed was a great site back in 04-05. So I started with ep 1, and I've been slowly and steadily made my way up to episode 48 or so. I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed it; y'all certainly made a fantastic job of keeping it both interesting and hilarious. Thanks!
