dium Posted November 6, 2009 Harsh lesson time, we're pedants here. It's "c'est la vie," not "ce." The expression translates "this is life" which is roughly the english "such is life." What you wrote takes out the verb "to be," making it literally "this the life."...Welcome! I knew that, funnily enough. I've been here a day, and twice already someone has corrected my grammar or spelling. Henceforth I shall post more carefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted November 6, 2009 Harsh lesson time, we're pedants here. I thought we just hated all games that weren't european PC games... or Farcry 2, damn that game is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garple Posted November 6, 2009 or Farcry 2, damn that game is good. I think you mean Torchlight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted November 6, 2009 It occurs to me that both Farlight 2 and Torchcry are excellent names for games (that we would love). But yes we are grammar nazis and pedants, but we will give you a big hug after we rip your post to shreds. *hug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raidenmgs Posted November 7, 2009 hey everyone decided to join the forums probably should have done it earlier when i first started listening. Oh well better now than never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gojeffygo Posted November 7, 2009 So I listened to 50 and was shocked how heavy it sat in my chest. Bethesda should be warned Nick makes communities so that he can break their hearts... best of luck Nick. Dried my video game tears and came to the forum to fill the hole with lots of text, and boost ... and goldfish. Also to find kc metro gamers who know who Tim schafer is and why. But that's for another thread. In closing fuck you Nick j/k (not really). Also will fuck you Nick or shitty wizard be the last meme of idle thumbs proper?

Tobli Posted November 7, 2009 hey everyone decided to join the forums probably should have done it earlier when i first started listening. Oh well better now than never. *Copy pastes a response that is similar to what i intended to write* Anyway, this looks like an interesting community. So i decided to check it out. I noticed that there is a dude called Toblix or something like that on here . My response to that is: :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwdiederich Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) I've listened for a billion years but the now all too real lack of new Thumbs means I'm going to post. I once wrote in and they totally made fun of me for training my girlfriend. I look forward to more thumbs-centric message boarding. Now I'm going to go play Torchlight while constantly refreshing my bug report in their official forum. :edit: Also, does anyone here still play WoW? I play it in the weirdest way possible, as a massively single player game, but am curious if any thumbs log in.

Tobli Posted November 7, 2009 I Also, does anyone here still play WoW? I play it in the weirdest way possible, as a massively single player game, but am curious if any thumbs log in. Naah, i used to play back in vanilla. How do you play it as a massively single player game? My first thought would be having your own private server.

bwdiederich Posted November 7, 2009 Hey thanks. I play on the normal servers but I rarely ever group, am not guilded, etc. That's all really. I had a few real life friends who played but they all fell away and I still keep plugging away, just leveling characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted November 7, 2009 I noticed that there is a dude called Toblix or something like that on here .My response to that is: :( He's one of the old guard, from back before idlethumbs.net became a talkie. You'd best be respectful. Also, welcome! I hope the name thing does not become confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobli Posted November 7, 2009 Also, welcome! I hope the name thing does not become confusing. Thanks man, and i'll think it will work out somehow. I think it is interesting that our usernames are so similar, and according to his profile. We live in the same country. Mine has a better flow. So he will be demoted to mr X. *Runs away* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garple Posted November 7, 2009 Now we just need someone to register as Tobli X and have a battle to end all battles. Yes, but then no one can subsequently register as Tobli X2, for there can only be one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
