Chris Posted December 17, 2008 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."

pancake humper Posted December 17, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted December 17, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mawryk Posted December 17, 2008 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?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 17, 2008 anyone know where I can find that reverse flying and shooting indie game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
