Jake Posted June 13, 2010 This is kind of our catch-up episode after six weeks away, so you guys may have heard about some of this stuff before... A Castro Situation As E3 approaches, as the music genre splits to offer the ultimate fantasy or the ultimate reality, as the future of games prepares to descend in a storm of cameras and holographic children, we talk about a bunch of things with little to no bearing on E3. For now, at least. With special guests Sean Vanaman, and a tape recording of Nick Breckon. Games Discussed: Rock Band 3, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Red Dead Redemption, Alpha Protocol, Neptune's Pride, Hearts of Iron 3, Civilization Revolution (iPhone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UwU Posted June 13, 2010 My air conditioner just broke in my house. It's 90 something degrees outside. I wade through the sauna that is my computer room to find that my Fallout 3 GOTY edition download speed has dropped to 30kb/s. There's an Idlethumbs podcast downloading in my iTunes queue. I love video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gdf Posted June 13, 2010 I think Jake might be a surrealist comedian whose sole topic is video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sombre Posted June 14, 2010 The first episode with no reader mail. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted June 14, 2010 Sombre said: The first episode with no reader mail. Weird. We probably had time in hindsight, but this episode spent a long time being recorded. Long lead-up before we started, long break, etc. It made us think the episode was going to be stupid long so we should stop. And then it was like an hour and a half, which isn't bad by recent standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even without reader mail, it was still one of the best episodes so far. The opening like 15 minutes had me laughing so hard I woke my house up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted June 14, 2010 I always enjoy good and detailed descriptions of awkward video transitions! The tape sequence was surreal and refreshing, too. I would maybe like an actual, non-hilarious talk about the game, though, because it sounded fascinating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted June 14, 2010 That discussion on Neptune's Bounty was hilarious, I love the idea of everyone playing several dummy games to confuse everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snooglebum Posted June 14, 2010 I think you guys took that six weeks off to build up your Pod Power, because this is probably my favorite episode of Idle Thumbs ever, other then You Gotta Have The Spice. There's so much good material! David Hasselhoff's crotch! Beatboxing tugboats! Fidel Castro Gap Supermodel Douches! Nick! Baby autopsies! I hardly know what to remix! Also, this is what Chris was talking about. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/10/june/apw/apw8.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
