This is a fair point. I suppose what I was getting at is the difference in how explicitly the games telegraph their determinism.

I'm not familiar with the MST speedrun. (What's MST?) In general I haven't spent much time watching videos of playthroughs and things like that.

I've just started listening to idle thumbs, I'm starting from the beginning and...

Spoiler

I like the hot scoops I'm gettin here.

 

[AkuMifune]

Chris's perspective on Zelda is so damn spot-on.

Yeah, he somehow distilled years of my own thought wrangling into one spontaneous outburst of truth. This is why I'm happy to be a backer.

I think the same analysis can be made of Final Fantasy. The first game let you choose your party (4 White Mages?...go ahead dumbass!) and gave you basically an open world to explore. Then they successively became more linear, more restrictive, more caught up in their own mythos and more dumb.

And I like to think of Books Rodkin as an evil doppelganger. Complete with mustache.

Man, how I wish Nick were back on the show. He really tied the room together.

Update #7: F. Nick Breckoncast Transmission 87

Spoiler

Fuck Nick Breckon

Man, how I wish Nick were back on the show. He really tied the room together.

Careful what you wish for...

Haha holy fuck, F. Nick Breckon-cast is amazing! Why hasn't he been doing this for the past year?

He has. Didn't you read the description?

 

[I speel my dreenk]

He has. Didn't you read the description?

Touché, good sir.

e: also, I wanted to add how very cool it is that you guys are updating so often, almost as though it was planned all along (DOT DOT DOT)

 

[poserdonut]

Looking forward to Gdc casts with Nick!

 

[Cohsae]

Hello and welcome to Moleman in the morning. Good moleman to you.

Spoiler

Seriously this is a new level of insanity. I love it.

 

[ElNarez]

Congratulations F. Nick.

 

[Ledsen]

So I donated $30. Then I started listening to the progresscasts and now I suddenly want to pay double. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at a podcast. Actually, I do. It was about one year ago.

 

[Odrion]

The kickstarter updates are worth the money alone.

edit: I miss Nick, I hope he makes appearances from time to time. Even if it's through Skype.

double edit: Oh god I'm installing Far Cry 2 again what have I done.

 

[karobit]

I lost my shit at the melodica (?) theme song for the F. Nick Breckoncast. The Bredonica.

[StevePharma]

I expected his mom to be on to talk about Skyrim.....

Ultimate awkwardness

 

[darkressurection]

Finally got the money to throw in, haven't listened to the Progresscasts yet, but this Breckoncast in incredible. So glad to have Idle Thumbs back.

 

[wolfmat]

Nick needs to cool it with shutting Nick down. It's gotten ridiculous at this point. Why doesn't Nick moderate? Why's Nick even in the podcast at all if Nick is heckling Nick while Nick is just fucking sitting there? It's a fucking Nick-on-Nick gorefest. I'm furious.
Congratulations, I guess. Fuck Nick.

Yeah, I'm tired of Nick and only listen to it for Nick these days.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

That was hilarious and surprisingly insightful. It's nice to hear Nick get a complete thought out uninterrupted.

Did you miss the times Nick just completely spoke over Nick? Dude, pay attention.

 

[Odrion]

New thumbsing the thumbs kickcast.

They talked about the Gravity Bone sequel and all the games that have Idle Thumb references in them, hah.

 

[darkressurection]

Hmm, I see the new update but there is no link to the cast nor is it embedded on the page.

 

[pa22word]

Same here, glad I'm not the only one.

 

[Odrion]

There's no MP3 link but there is a video think from the update e-mails you get.

 

[wolfmat]

I've already sued for damages, you're too slow, Chris

 

[darkressurection]

Oh, they just posted a comment on there saying there was a video issue and that it will be back up soon.

 

[pa22word]

It's up now for me. Quick fix.

 

[Jintor]

Holy shit Idle Thumbs is in so many game universes. Had no idea they were in Poker Night

[snoopeasystreet]

The F. Nick Breckoncast is amazing.

 

[The Big Rig]

Best progress cast ever.

 

[Corto]

I would kickstart a Breckoncast.

 

[plagiarize]

I was laid up in bed on Monday and Tuesday, and discovered that listening to a funny podcast about video games from 2008 was the best thing to do in a darkened room with my eyes closed while feeling like crap.

Dunno if i'll ever get completely up to date, or if i'll be a regular listener of this, but i figured $15 was a good thanks to the guys for making two days a lot less awful.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I regret not listening to this immediately.

I own it, but have no plans to fire it up again... stupid Steam metagame! Anyway please do explain.


Also is anyone else considering un-backing Double Fine Adventure so Kickstarter will stop sending you updates that are not Idle Thumbs progresscasts?

Even more meta, One time I was playing Poker Night and Jake thanked me through Steam chat.

Max Ides shows up as a Poker Night player rank, if you land exactly in the middle of the skill/time played graph we use to generate rank names. Also, the Jack in the default playing deck is Weinhandling.

Ho ho ho. Let's go to the beach (ep. 7)

I think we need to inject some new material into the Idle Thumbs meme encyclopedia. Therefore, it's time to relisten to the old episodes and bring up the most obscure jokes.

You won't be listening to this podcast with a controller in your hand.

I’m a bit late listening to progressscast #3 with Vincent Perea.

Just got to a point where Sean distills the essence of video game sequels into one phrase and it rung so true.

“The cool thing about Zelda 1 was not that you had eight weapons. But the cool thing about Zelda 2 is that you had twelve”


I love it

 

[El Sloth]

I haven't laughed as hard as I did when the music for the Nickcast started up. Amazing.

FTL doesn't look like my cup of tea, but I figured I'd link their Kickstarter anyways.

 

[Mar]

Latest cast is up in download form. And there was much rejoicing.

I think some of the Conf Grenades (Morality and Hideo) are broken on iTunes at the moment.
