Congrats!

His full name is actually Mark Ides - Max is his cousin.

Oh man, shout out for the Glider discussion - it came with a pretty robust level editor; it was my very first experience with level design (I think I was in 3rd grade). Those are some good memories.

The Cheetah is pretty impressive; the fact that it could outrun a human makes it significantly more unnerving. Speaking of unnerving… DARPA is developing low-cost silicone robots capable of adaptive camouflage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LpOl_pEmRqs “by introducing narrow channels into the molds through which air and various types of fluids can be pumped, a robot can be made to change its color, contrast, apparent shape and temperature to blend with its environment, glow through chemiluminescence, and most importantly, achieve actuation, or movement, through pneumatic pressurization and inflation of the channels.” What’s worse than a robot that can outrun you? One you can’t see.

Hello Thumbs, I’ve been listening to the cast since 2009. I work in the industry as a team lead/art director, and it’s been a formative element in how I play and think about games. I was ecstatic when the Kickstarter launched (backing was a no-brainer), and I’m so glad Thumbs is back and better than ever I’ve lurked around the forums over the years, and now I’d like to become a more active member of the community. See you around!
