Jake Posted October 31, 2011 Has anyone got the old old old "Thumbcast" Idle Thumbs podcast episodes that Marek and Spaff did before Chris and Nick and I did the more recent stuff? In my quest a few months ago to clean up the archive, I got as far as the new Idle Thumbs 'casts, but I really should go back as far as the originals Marek and Spaff did! I think I have them on a hard drive in my closet somewhere on an old IDE internal hard drive, but I don't want to dig that far if I can avoid it! Edit: I have 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 already. I haven't got 6, 7, or 8 however. Any help would be appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted November 1, 2011 I don't think I have them, sorry. But if you're making a full catalogue of Thumbs stuff, do also post into the archive the weird report video you made of E3 years ago. That's always good for a laugh. Stunts is Alex Ashby.

toblix Posted November 1, 2011 I heard he's compiling a The Definitive Thumbs, Remastered DVD collection, chock-full of extras, behind-the-scenes bloopers, bleepers, outtakes, interviews and commentary tracks, remixes, interactive games, URLs, collector's edition WETA™ hand painted resin limited edition figurines and bookends numbered and signed by the whole team, papercraft templates, postcards, cloth maps, double-sided semi-gloss high-grade stock posters and silk-screen t-shirts with special edition designs by eBoy (size M).

Brannigan Posted November 1, 2011 I'd prefer one of those wind up toys that does flips in Bigdog form. The sound totally matches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted November 1, 2011 Hey Jake, Episode 3 of the US cast isn't showing up in iTunes. Jus' sayin'. I'm looking at it there right now and listening to it through the itunes store even! That's all I can do to verify that ... hey! How about that Thumbcast, though? Anyone got those... :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Posted November 2, 2011 My curiosity was piqued, so I decided to try pulling them off an archive.org snapshot from 2007. It totally worked!! Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 If for some reason this doesn't work for you, I can send the files to you somehow. Hooray! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I_smell Posted January 14, 2012 I just listened to the first episode of this, and I couldn't believe it was even more ridiculous than the The Idle Thumbs Podcast podcast and the Idle Thumbs podcast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drath Posted January 21, 2012 I never even knew this was a thing! I know what i'm doing for several hours! *EDIT* Oh god, the audio quality! I'll try and trooper through this. *EDIT 2* A reference to TouchDIC, nevermind, this will do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted January 28, 2012 Urghhgghhghgghghgh wow the quality of the old thumbcasts was truly horrendous. It's pretty embarassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raff Posted January 29, 2012 I enjoyed Spaff's account of his Wii launch day 'expedition'. It always amused me how US-oriented internet hype at video game launches contrasts so hugely with the generally very muted reality in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
