Treasure Goblin Posted April 24, 2014 Hi there, I've been lurking for a while and a thumbs fan for a few years now. I have pretty severe anxiety, so I find things like posting on forums and playing games online with people I don't know personally freaks me out, but I really like this community so I'm hoping to slowly remedy that. I'm really into RPGs and rogue-like-like-like-likes (FTL, Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, etc) at the moment, but like all types of video (space) games. Oh, and I'm 23 from Melbourne, Australia if anyone cares to know. Looking forward to posting more in the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mario_actually Posted April 25, 2014 Hi there. Finally decided to join the forums. Have been listening to the idle thumbs podcast since it made its comeback. I am pretty much obsessed with games. Always 1 game at a time, which changes from time to time. After spending way too much time on Dota 2 and then Hearthstone, I am completely into Dark Souls 2 at the moment. Finished 2 times on PS3 and now strongly considering to also buy the PC version. Hope to get some cool conversations here. Haven't been active in a forum for some years (i'm 30) and kind of miss it. So yeah. Hi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1PxOff Posted May 1, 2014 Hey everyone, I have been listening to the thumbs cast for awhile now, and finally decided to drop in and say hello.

stridechicken Posted May 1, 2014 Hi all, my name is Stephen. I like 2D platformers, rhythm games and most things apart from first-person shooters. Recently Spelunky has consumed my life.I've listened to the podcast for ages, and decided it would be fun to do a (somewhat poor) mashup of the 150 theme with the theme from Space Jam. You can find it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ifthenstatements Posted May 3, 2014 Hi hi to all, Frank here. Been listening to the podcast for a while and figured I'd check out the forums. I always like a good games conversation (I came in late to Gameological, right before it joined AV Club) and always want more people to play online with (make an Old Republic character with me and I'll be your friend forever.)

yabba Posted May 4, 2014 Hi! I've been listening to the podcast for ~ a year now and noticed that I've started reading the forums for the past month or so and figured that I might as well register an account throw in my occasional two cents. game-wise, I re-discovered video games about a year ago after a ~12-15 year hiatus and have been spending my limited gaming time in a state of total amazement at how much has been done with games in the meantime. (I recently played through half-life 2 and portal!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuel Flagg Posted May 4, 2014 Hello all, Long time listener first time caller. Stumbled upon all of this about a year or so ago and I've listened from the beginning of the archive to current. (As all right thinking persons do with podcasts that they can listen to at work) Gameswise I've been playing games since I could figure out how to work my parents Intellivision. (B-17 Bomber FTW.)
