SuperBiasedMan Posted March 11, 2015 Episode titles sounds like a fun one to me, as long as they didn't end up being uncreatively specific. But I mean... Esophagus Sarcophagus, come on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerofiftyone Posted March 11, 2015 Episode titles as prompts is a nice idea. Many of them are non-specific enough to be interpreted in several different ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N1njaSquirrel Posted March 11, 2015 Wow I totally missed this thread. I'm game for this. And April has no Bloodborne, so I should be free. I'm a programmer. If anyone's needing a programmer, I'll happily help. My Unity experience is sorely lacking, but it's in C#, which is my jam. (plus it's what I code in at work). I also think episode titles are a great idea.

Dinosaursssssss Posted March 11, 2015 Idle Thumbs podcast episode titles as the theme?! You read my mind In fact, right before I went to bed I had my friend (and fellow reader) Panzorfork whip up a quick script to display a random episode title + description + a link to the episode, in case people have trouble picking one. I'll put that, plus a flat list of the titles, up on a page soon. I was wondering how to keep this Thumbs relevant but leave a lot of room for people to make what they want...there are A LOT of episode titles, and folks can rearrange of pick bits and pieces from titles if they like. I think this'll be a lot of fun. I'm thinkin' Robot News. ALSO I updated the op, if I missed someone, PM me and I'll add your info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deadpan Posted March 11, 2015 In light of this, I anticipate at least one game about farting skeletons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninety-Three Posted March 11, 2015 Skeletons which fart, or do you mean it in the same sense as "killing skeletons"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvaq Posted March 11, 2015 I am super down for this. Can help with Unity/C# stuff. Also it'd be neat to team up with artist folks if there's anyone who wants to do that. Something something dishonored wizards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1njaSquirrel Posted March 11, 2015 My worry is that between now and April, Chris or Jake reads this and then goes about coming up with the most ridiculous episode names between now and April 10th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninety-Three Posted March 11, 2015 If you're saying that titles like "Bogost in the Shell" and "Ode on a Grecian Hat Sale" aren't already the most ridiculous episode names, then I look forward to the Thumbs ushering in a new era of apocalyptic ridiculousness.

Dinosaursssssss Posted March 11, 2015 http://funghost.com/thumbs/randomepisode.html This page will display random episode titles and descriptions along with a link to the mp3, in case folks are having trouble picking a title. Loading can be a little slow up front 'cause true to it's name the implementation is kinda hacky. Thanks Panzorfork for the script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted March 11, 2015 In light of this, I anticipate at least one game about farting skeletons. "This Dame walked in, blonde as usual, pouring her heart out with her woes. Said she'd had it with her skeletal mother in law and her noxious emissions. So it looks like I've got a new case, I've gotta figure out why DO skeletons fart that way?"

zerofiftyone Posted March 11, 2015 Awesome! http://funghost.com/thumbs/randomepisode.html This page will display random episode titles and descriptions along with a link to the mp3, in case folks are having trouble picking a title.

Gwardinen Posted March 12, 2015 I am kinda into this idea. I have general knowledge about programming but no specific knowledge of any of these current engines, which is actually enticing me more - is it possible to go from rusty beginner to some semblance of competence with a modern game engine in two weeks? I would definitely want to work in a group since I'm at the less up to speed end of the scale - I have some experience with programming, scripting, writing, that kind of thing but would need help with engine specifics for sure and have absolutely no artistic/musical talent.
