I think it's time I moved on. Hold me. e-hug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Posted January 15, 2010 For those not interested in listening to the entire PCGamer podcast, Chris talks about the new "less frequent" Idle Thumbs right around the 7:00 mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted January 15, 2010 I though "shit" was no longer qualified as obscene by the FCC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korax Posted January 16, 2010 elmuerte said: I though "shit" was no longer qualified as obscene by the FCC. Yeah, but people are so afraid of losing viewers/listeners/sponsors (mostly sponsors) that they don't want to take the risk. Also, the FCC has no say over media like podcasts, so it's really just up to the people in charge of the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So now, instead of saying Congrats Nick, we should say FUCK Windows 7 for delaying our Idle Thumbs fix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 16, 2010 Listening to the PC Gamer Podcast made me sad. It's nowhere close to the IldeThumbs podcast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind bad language in my podcasts but I do in other situations. Some people find it a turn off. It's funny listening to the PC Gamer podcast though, I've never even noticed thumbs swearing all that much. I guess I'm desensitized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

80's Bad Guy Posted January 19, 2010 You know Rez, I always wondered where your avatar came from (here and GAF) and then I went to a party over the weekend and some girl made me watch the Old Greg sketch on YouTube. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen. I have to admit I did laugh alot, though I was completely trashed. I just recognized those guys in the pic and the whole strange night came flooding back. hah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dekjo Posted January 21, 2010 Hey! Puffins! And then stealth puffins. I think we should get one of these for Nick so he can commute to San Fran each week to record. Just drop a Donate link on the front page and I'm sure they'll be able to afford one in no time. Idle thumbs is saved! Hurray for science! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
