Meant to pop in here earlier.

Congratulations, Chris. As much we'll all miss you guys casting pods in our face, you deserve it. I may have missed it: have you announced what you'll be doing?

A few posts ago, I quoted his Twitter.

To be fair, he hasn't revealed what he'll be doing, just where he'll be going.

Hot Scoop! Famous Video Games developer Irrational looking for the Remo Boost! Congrats Nick!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I saw that he will be working at Irrational. I wasn't sure if he posted what his actual job will entail.

Three major Cast-Thumbs working under 2K? How bizarre.

[Lu]

Congratulations Chris! I'm not really all that surprised. Can you say yet what your role will be on the team?

Shawn Elliot works there too; he makes and has made good podcasts.

Awesome, now I have someone I can address directly who works for Irrational. Chris, I say to you:

Also, congratulations. I'd guessed that it would be Irrational, but felt that I was hoping for too much. Well done.

Three? I think it's just me and Steve. Jake is at Telltale and Nick is at Bethesda, and none of the UK Thumbs have any connection to 2K.

Yay for Boston. Hope you like your winters cold!

Congrats Chris! Looking forward to scouring credits for your name.

Now, this may be the news coloring expectations, but doesn't the Icarus teaser site totally look like a moon? http://www.whatisicarus.com/

If Icarus is MoonShock I will play it.

I'm actually surprised that there's been so much speculation on different forums about this teaser, yet no one has mentioned this.

The fact that there is a crater on the moon called Icarus, there is no doubt about it.

And I bet it's about space pirates that are smuggling moonshine.

Whoops, that's right. Oblivion was published by 2K Games, with that being the only instance of cooperation between Bethesda and 2K.

Oh shit, SOLD

[Twig]

I thought Bioshock: On the Moon wasn't happening until Bioshock 5.

(I have been listening to old episodes.)

[Jayel]

Just caught up to this episode and I wish I hadn't. Good luck at Irrational!

Just wanted to say: I had to leave a movie theater to regain my composure the other day when, during a screening of Dr. No, James Bond was told "This came for you today sir, in a diplomatic pouch." I completely fucking lost it. Thanks, Idle Thumbs!

It was nothing if not a podcast of ruining words.
