Idle Thumbs Accompaniment?

[Salacious Snake]

Driving and riding the train are the main activities for me, like many here. 

 

I do sometimes play games, though... I can do both as long as it's not something that involves a story or dialog that I want to hear. A racing game is fine, or a deathmatch in a totally non-tactical shooter.

 

Or lately Assassin's Creed IV, but I'll stick to the side activities like plundering ships and collecting bullshit items and slaying beautiful sea mammals, eschewing story missions until I can give it my full attention.

Two main podcast times. Driving to/from work (30-45minutes each way) and while at the gym. Best to stay away from any sort of humorous podcast on lifting days though. That can end...badly.

[BadHat]

Podcasts are probably partially responsible for why I've been so drawn to roguelikes/likelikes*. I try to always have one on rotation to futilely chip away at while listening to casts. Two meaningless activities for the price of one!

 

* I just got an idea for a super cheesy line of GAMER greeting cards for significant others. The cover says "I don't roguelike you," then you open it up and there's a picture of any one of the three damsels from Spelunky doing the kissy face and it says "I roguelikelike you."

 

Sorry.

I found a new accompaniment: Next Car Game Sneak Peek 2.0 from Bugbear.

(it's 25$ for early access to the game, though)

Looks more like a physics tech demo than a game

Yeah, because that's a physics tech demo you get with the game. The actual early access game is also quite limited at the moment - 2 cars and 3 tracks.
