Bargo Busters
For all your bustin' needs, we present: video games. We create a scale and proceed to visit both ends, taking gentle, guided adventures with famed explorers and robot pals, while our asses are gingerly handed to us by murderous hoards and off-brand knockoff platformers.
Note: No bargos were busted in the making of this episode.
Games Discussed: Torchlight, Uncharted 2, Machinarium, Super Mario 86, Diablo II, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Game), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Film), and of course Far Cry 2
Idle Thumbs: A Weekly Gaming Podcast
Idle Thumbs casts its pod into your face with off-the-cuff, incisive, multiplatform video gaming discussion every week. No on-air schedules, no Skype. Hands-on accounts and stunning commentary abound.
As you can see over in the sidebar, Space Asshole from Idle Thumbs 48: In Space is now available for MP3 download. In stereo!
Nick also went out of his way to create this accompanying video showing the space asshole in action. It's worth noting that the vast majority of this video was comprised of footage he simply had lying around after some FRAPS capture sessions of Reactor Zero's PC version of Volition's Red Faction: Guerrilla, before this song existed--this game is so wonderfully conducive to space assholism that there was little need to consciously sync it up.
And be sure to watch to the very end. Some of you may have seen an earlier, shorter, version of this video that the internet somehow found. This one's the real deal.
