Ever since I started listening to the archive again, I've started using the phrase 'raped through a hole' stupidly often. It's bad. At least I normally have the decency to change it to 'fucked through a hole', but still. Thanks Thumbs! Wizard.

Good to hear they'll be adding download links.

Can someone remind me which episode Nick gets visited by Pyramid Head in? I must have listened to that bit 10 times.

I'd love to see a video of Nick Breckon walking through a Halloween Haunted House.
The first plastic skeleton that swung down from the ceiling would likely send him into cardiac arrest.

Can't believe I completely missed this thread and the kickstarter page. Pledged a good chunk of change. I need my Far Cry 2 talk.
Just listened to it, that's not it.

Hm, are you guys referring to the episode where Chris's computer makes crazy noises? I'm not sure at this point.
Edit: If it is, that's 39: Video Game Baby (35:50 and onwards)

That's the one. I remember because of the Gay Senator Mass Effect story, I believe itwas after that
Not sure episode it was, but I found a clip of it. They were talking about Mass Effect right before it happened.

As someone who only discovered Thumbs after 2009, it's surreal hearing the guys talk about stuff happening right now. It's also going to be painful, as rather than having the luxury of the "this 'cast happened a few years ago, I don't need to rush out and buy that game"-mindset, it'll all be about getting whatever game they're talking about just so I can judge it for myself.
For example: last night I bought the Realistic Summer Sports Simulator on iOS and had pork chops for dinner and Pringles as a snack :/

The official description of The Future of Games is my favorite of any episode:
"You can't shut your eyes. A small child spots you, waves eagerly. You try to reach him, but are stopped short as the cables restraining your fingers go taut. Struggling against wires and straps binding your shoulders and feet, you get one last glimpse of the boy before he's dragged screaming into Max Payne's departing van."

Same. Love the bombcast, but not for analysis or critique. Lets hope all this $$ and attention doesn't go to the Thumbs' heads.

You people have no idea how painful it is to try and record anything scripted with Jake Rodkin. That man is constitutionally incapable of holding himself together for more than four seconds at a time. Oh my god.

Almost triple the initial asking backing? In three days? What?
I've spent the last few days enjoying the Thumbs backlog a lot, so this is just too fantastic.

Finally they will be able to afford some real Puffins. And Remo will finally have enough money to buy other games on Steam and stop playing Far Cry 2.

When Remo brought up Far Cry 2 without a hint of irony, I just about lost my shit. Jake did, too, making it even funnier.
I'm guessing at earliest when the kickstarter is over which is in a month. That means they won't even have the money until then, so everything up to that point is probably planning with execution only beginning at that point.
I demand outtakes!

Does kickstarter give you any way to view the contributions over time? While it's neat just to watch the number go up on the main site, I'd also be interested in seeing a graph of this and the double fine progress over time.
Insert video clip of Jake laughing for 3 hours.

Were you run over by a jeep?
A grenade probably rolled down a hill.

Alright, just put my $10 down. It isn't much, but it's the least I can do for such an awesome show. Cannot wait.
No, I was just sneaking through a camp and was spotted, but I hadn't been paying attention to my ammo count, I had none for my shotgun.
I was shot in the back while running away.

Project creators get a day-by-day graph. When the campaign is over we can release an image of it.
I was kind of hoping that it was a grenade rolling down a hill...
