His final play time was over 50 hours and that was with him being guided by chat through parts of it, so it still took a while

 

He also runs past everything, which is only a good strategy maybe half of the time!

[Problem Machine]

Though to be fair like 8 hours of that were Calamity Gwyn runs

[Kyir]

To be double fair it seems like he didn't see a good portion of the game off the main paths.

[sclpls]

To be fair though, he did beat the game with the calamity ring on, so I'm pretty sure the rest of you are babies :-p

The way Jake quickly rattled off all the work that went into making the Idle Thumbs logo animation for the stream (with the various Windows screensavers etc.) just hammers home for the millionth time how tremendous his attention to detail, aesthetic sensibilities, and general on-top-of-it-ness are. That really goes for lots of the Thumbs, in fact, and I think it's one of the reasons the podcast they churn out is so enjoyable. They're just super capable folks, which really carries over into the conversations they have with with each other and with Nick.

Yeah this is unfortunate phrasing that I doubt the poster intended!

Haha awesome.

 

I do enjoy in the stream being able to see the gleam in Jake's eyes when he gets set up for a goofy comment.

That big pre-goof gleam from Jake is somehow even audible in the podcasts, I feel.

[Jake]

What can I say, I had a gleam.

Ugh, I hate those 'stories from around the web' ad sections, they always exude so much sleaze and sadism. The new thing they're doing a lot at the moment is pretending Richard Branson has some awful illness (and using some repellent over-'shopped photo of him).

If anyone listens to MBMBAM (it is another podcast, there is more than one!) Griffin (and me by extension) is constantly horrified that there are ads that imply current TV stars have died who are clearly not dead. It's really extremely very gross.

I like the kind where it's just a picture of worms crawling in an open wound and it says "She Lost 60 Lbs Quick!"

Yeah it's fuckin weird.
