Star Control 2 would be rad as heck. Admittedly it loses a little something after the first play through, but it's still one of the coolest space games out there. I actually just finished a replay recently, maybe I should write down my thoughts just in case.

This makes me want a serious-themed, vaguely Thumbs-related game where the chapters are all taken from Idle Thumbs episode titles. "The Death of Nick Breckon" "Remember the Airfield" and "Jeff 'Gone' Goldblum" would all make great stories that would surely make the audience cry.

It reminds me of how the Ghost of Nick Breckon still haunts the Dotato Day intro. Classic Thumb move!

You know, I was on the fence, but then Gary breaking it down Slater-style had me convinced. I guess I'm 3/3 on regularly giving money to people who make podcasts I enjoy now. Suck it, advertisement guys who say people won't pay for podcasts!

Tempo 119 posted:Didn't Microsoft put something in their Xbone announcement press packs dictating how the name should be abbreviated? They expected everyone to call it "The One". Not especially relevant, but I can't miss an opportunity to repost this.  What a weird thing Microsoft Games has become.

I kind of forgot about The Pitch, but I remember the one about corporate strategy was fantastic. I gotta finish off the rest of those some day. e: Oops, that was Pilot Season. Still good though.

The Milkman posted:Chris' scream at 'Silent HillS' was the best I thought it was cool. I was sad when the thumbs pooped on it. Although I thought the Phantom Pain title reveal was cool also. I guess I'm just a sucker for Kojima?It really would have been rotten if it was Silent Hill5, though.

Oh, Christ. Perhaps the better solution to this is to stop hailing to video game websites to justify the purchase of your favorite call of duty or whatever.

Chris Remo posted:Back in the early days of Idle Thumbs, I used to edit the podcasts a lot more heavily than I do now. At this point I basically chop out a break, crop it to the beginning and the end, bookend it with some dumb garbage if something funny is available, and that's it. There are times I miss doing elaborate or experimental things with the editing, but the amount of time it took just becomes untenable when it's added on top of all the other things you have to do in a day. It starts to make it all feel like a chore, which is dangerous when the thing in question isn't your actual job. Salacious Thumb is still one of my favorite episodes.  "I hear you play as Master Chief in this halo game." "Uhhhh..."

Here's some WOFF Love: You guys got me to start playing through Suikoden 2 and it is rad as heck. I'm rolling with my dog bro as often as I can. (However, that did make Greenhill kind of confusing at times)

I dunno, I felt like they spent plenty of time wringing their hands and warning first-time viewers not to ruin the show. But maybe later when they don't have so much to say about the Spoiler Zone they could use a music bumper or something. Also Chris said Spoiler Zone once and I totally dig the name now.

Especially on the Fivers, I definitely felt like there were a lot of moments where they all have a 2 minute circle of laughs, while I just sat there stonefaced. I guess this is what IT's critics in 2008 felt like. I'll be a Nick Breckon fan till I die, though. Keep forcing that guy to podcast/assassinate babies.

Personally I find the Robot hate speech on Idle Thumbs despicable. When the next epoch begins, you guys will regret the podcasts badmouthing the cheetah robot.

Aww hell yeah. SCII is timeless, aside from a couple strange racial stereotypes. And it's free! I can't wait to play through it again. Do not forget to enjoy the sauce.
