Idle Thumbs 10: The Ballad of John Riccitiello

Recommended Posts

We made it to number 10, with bonus faster download rates. Now, since this is Idle Thumbs, we will lose interest and disappear for two years.*

"As the CEOs of EA and Activision engage in an epic battle for the hearts and souls of gamers, our co-hosts consider Spike VGA-related game unveilings, fool significant others into buying consoles, look at some IGF 2009 entries, and propose Netflix achievement whoring."

Games: Prince of Persia, Mafia 2, Dante's Inferno, Spheroid, Atmosphir, Dyson, Retro/Grade, Defense Grid, Ghostbusters, Ghost Tycoon.

I basically just maxed out my work connection and downloaded the episode in about 5 seconds. This new Amazon S3 stuff was probably the best thing you guys did.

Can't wait to listen on the train home tonight.

Amazing episode, the beginning was a wonderful mess.

And the song is simply awesome.

Wow... Spheroid changed a lot. It looks a lot different from the "beta" I played a few years ago.

You can turn off all of the Prince of Persia tutorials in the options.

Whoops! Now everyone knows I'm a dumb.

Maybe someone should create a wikipedia article named "List of domain names pointing to idlethumbs.net" or register listofdomainnamespointingtoidlethumbsdotnet.info

I can't confirm having not played it yet, but another podcast praised Prince of Persia for having completely OPTIONAL dialog between the Prince and Elika. Not sure if that is the same as the cutscenes you refer to or not though.

But you wouldn't be wrong about 2 things in one podcast now, would you?! :eek:
