Jake Posted December 22, 2016 Idle Thumbs 294: Pan Pan Pan As the year draws to a close, things get a little out of hand. What starts as a discussion of Super Mario Run quickly gets away from us and leads us deep into the worlds of sound editing disasters, mascot shoplifting, the history of gaming retail chains, and how to tell when a store might be laundering food stamps. Discussed: Super Mario Run, MARIO, Super Mario, Bay-Mission Market, Portal, The Mummy Listen on the Episode Page Listen on Soundcloud Listen in iTunes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hedgefield Posted December 22, 2016 Speaking of The Mummy's botched trailer being ripe for a tinkly piano cover in the vein of Nic Cicierga, SURELY you have seen this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted December 22, 2016 I used to love used game stores. The prices were always crazy, but Multimedia 1.0 on St Mark's had so much cool shit. I felt like a boss riding the train home with that complete in box Jaguar CD attachment. It was a good place to round out your Game.com or Wonderswan collection. I think that place still exists in some form, in a new spot with a new name. J&L in Chinatown is good for (again, pricey) Neo Geo carts and other import stuff. I'd always go there after losing a few fighting game matches at Chinatown Fair. I miss having that kind of disposable income! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted December 22, 2016 Let's imagine that you were not able to watch the original video referenced in this week's Idle Thumbs. Well, unless it gets taken down, you can download it here. You're welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jutranjo Posted December 22, 2016 I forgot why but the mario story at the start reminded me of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U58ZmzmCnVY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dium Posted December 22, 2016 New York and Chicago still have a fair number of Mom+Pop used game stores, and yeah, they must survive on collectors because the prices range from dirt-cheap to vastly-more-than-expected. But they're fun to look around in! I especially enjoy perusing old PC game boxes, when possible. I (literally) do not have room in my life for old game boxes but I have repeatedly almost bought myself an old Monkey Island boxed edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have a link to the story about the Mario statue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fledermaus Posted December 23, 2016 Maybe it is just me, but that "pan pan pan" line sounds like Wallace Shawn from Princess Bride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beasteh Posted January 2, 2017 That Mummy trailer is amazing. Some prankster put together a supercut of Tom Cruise's screaming over other films. It's perfect: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feeona Posted January 4, 2017 I'd just like to leave this here: I also want to state that if the Thumbs don't wish to do this then that's totally fine, I just wanted to hear either way. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
