subbes Posted July 9, 2011 There are some Thumbs I assumed were teenagers, and was very surprised to discover they were much, much older. It cuts both ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted July 9, 2011 You know.... people who are 16 were born after Doom 2. They might even be born after Windows 95 was released. Just imagine the classics that were released before 16 year olds were born. Can you imagine that? Then you must be an old fart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwcohn Posted August 5, 2011 I've been listening to the 'casts for a while but haven't really spent much time on the forums, and I'm wondering whether or not the community has shrunk since the scheduled weekly cast days. I really hope not, I find that I have more in common with the Thumbs perspective than practically any other in games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False Dmytro Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) A list of my opinions for you to form opinions about me: Venus Patrol is the most interesting development on this side of video games business right now. That most video games that receive media attention are DUMB and that so much more could be done. Ice-Pick Lodge, thechineseroom and Frictional Games and few other developers are moving in the right direction by avoiding "fun" as ideal. That the lack of a common language in which to discuss game design and mechanics limits meaningful discussion, still plenty of interesting thoughts are articulated. The the player isn't an artist but a rather integral part of the medium. That Idle Thumbs is the right community for me, even though I don't play very much, because of the cultural exchange going on. Some other interests: Culture in the most broad sense; academic disciplines such as anthropology, history, psychology, languages; education from both practical and theoretical standpoints; design (form and function of everyday items); interdisciplinary science (SFI is interesting) ad ∞ Cheers Edited September 8, 2011 by False Dmytro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
