Jake Posted March 6, 2014 Idle Thumbs 148: The Octopus in My Mind Sean's in the room by himself, uh, talking to himself. But he's not alone. He is in the virtual battlefield of DayZ, where via an on-line connection to the world-wide network known as the Internet, he is able to meet up with fellow e-soldiers and scour the synthesized apocalyptic wasteland for prey. While hundreds watch, rooting from their video terminals at home, he and his band hunt a man from the United Kingdom and kill him. Also Nick Breckon's here! Things Discussed: The Walking Dead Season Two, Starbound, DayZ, Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Far Cry 2 Listen on the Episode Page Listen in iTunes Subscribe to the RSS Feed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golden Calf Posted March 6, 2014 I started listening to avoid working on some AI programming I have to do for tomorrow. Your discussion of ephemeral moments of inspiration and productivity leads me to believe I probably won't be sleeping tonight. At least I have some cool dudes to keep me company for a while.

I Speel My Dreenk Posted March 6, 2014 Was that mention of blankity-blank dot com at about 35:53 just a missed edit? or a megaton reveal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dez Posted March 6, 2014 Well, time to add Army of Two: Obama's Heroes to the pile of sweet Idle Thumbs game ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polish Hill Posted March 6, 2014 Glad to see the Thumbs didn't forget Poland. Also hopefully Avaren is correct and the announcement is forthcoming, would love to know more about mystery game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted March 6, 2014 I really want to post what I'm hoping ***** is a reboot of, but I'll wait until Kotaku posts LEAKED CONCEPT ART AND TITLE later today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I vaguely remember Sean saying in one of the Day Z streams that there might be some sort of reveal at GDC, which is the week after next. My memory may be completely wrong, though. Also, it's great to have Nick back. Congrats on the Walking Dead episode release, Nick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melmer Posted March 6, 2014 The game will prominently feature interchangeable moustaches as one of its core gaming mechanics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sclpls Posted March 6, 2014 There were some pretty good plugs on this episode, but I couldn't help but notice the huge gap in Three Moves Ahead plugs. If I didn't know any better, I'd probably think the Idle Thumbs crew didn't give a fuck about setting up victory conditions in war game scenario design!

Polish Hill Posted March 6, 2014 I deleted, redownloaded, and relistened to the whole thing again. It seems like the file may have been replaced with that portion now censored. Or I am insane. One of these is true. Either way, very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was censored on first listen for me, though granted that took place only a couple hours ago so the file could have been replaced... I guess?? I don't know how iTunes' podcast hosting works.
