matthew Posted June 12, 2014 Hi, does anyone know where I can download the F Nick Breckoncast? I'm relatively new to idle thumbs, only listening since around 140, and I'm still catching up on the backlog. I found a random corner of the internet that had the other backer only progresscasts (sorry... I dont believe that there is any legitimate way to acquire them, is there?), but I can't find this one.

matthew Posted June 12, 2014 Hey TychoCelchuuu, I specifically meant I want this thing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idlethumbs/idle-thumbs-video-game-podcast/posts/182714 Thanks for the reply though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 12, 2014 I think the Progresscasts got put on the Idle Thumbs feed at one point, so they were no longer backer-only content. The idea is they'd talk about where they were up to with launching the podcast network, but it descended almost immediately into games discussion. I was sad we didn't get more F Nick Breckoncasts, but I can understand if the joke didn't have legs past that first madblast. I feel like it's still basically a little backer attaboy. (To describe it, it's Nick doing a disturbed version of Idle Thumbs in his house where everyone is Nick Breckon, with different tones and personalities, and the main host is inexplicably mean to all his guests. It doesn't have much in the way of Thumbs discussion because it's one joke: Nick went a little insane and they got his equivalent of a manuscript that's entirely "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".)

Jake Posted June 12, 2014 Those episodes are actually still just on the kickstarter page. We should probably put them up as an archived cast somewhere. that said: http://www.idlethumbs.net/assets/podcasts/progresscast/nickbreckon_01.mp3 data complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn Posted June 12, 2014 I didn't even realize this was a thing that existed. I'm gleefully excited about listening to it now. Thanks Jake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted June 12, 2014 Is that link working for other people? For me it just points to https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/9436-the-f-nick-breckoncast/undefined/ which I thought was some sort of upload error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted June 12, 2014 Try http://www.idlethumbs.net/assets/podcasts/progresscast/nickbreckon_01.mp3 Edit: Oh, that makes a player right on the forum, I didn't know that.... Try this instead I guess. http://www.idlethumbs.net/assets/podcasts/progresscast/nickbreckon_01.mp3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted June 12, 2014 Nada, :/ thanks though. I wonder if my laptop/browser just has an aversion to Ethnic Breckons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperBiasedMan Posted June 12, 2014 The chorus of "I'm Nick Brekon"s at the start reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=lIpev8JXJHQ#t=86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
