  1. I keep remembering things that happened in episodes but don't remember which episodes. 'We're fucking children!' Jake and (Scoops?) realize that saying 'We're fucking children' is wrong. and 'Gold game' Remo spurts out the longest chain of gold game gate fold... possible in the nerd voice. So, does anyone know where to find these gold moments?
  2. Dreams!

    Not only about video games, just weird or hilarious dreams. Last night I had this dream: I was at my local Coles supermarket and we were walking back to the car with the shopping and I noticed a trailer like you'd see on a movie set sitting in the car park. Then I noticed Jake walking around saying that it was a baseball trading card store but saying that they were out of baseball trading cards, somehow I knew that this was actually an Idle Thumbs live show tour and I knew what I had to say to get in. It was "The Wizard". So he came over to us as we put the shopping in the car and asked if we wanted baseball cards (I guess he was trying to push this fake product in case the person was an Idle Thumbs listener), we talked for a little bit but I was too awkward to say "The Wizard" because of how weird I would look in front of my family. Eventually my Mum said "The Wizard" in conversation and Jake's face lit up, I seized the opportunity and said "Yes! The Wizard!", he gave me a huge thumbs up and he asked if we wanted to see the live show and I frantically agreed. We walked to the trailer and walked up the stairs, when we got inside it was TARDIS like in that it turned out to be a huge theater, although in my dream this wasn't weird at all, and we walked to the back. Jake said that in fact this was a competition, a panel of something like 8 people who all had a certain amount of time to be the funniest and get the most votes from the crowd to be on an actual Idle Thumbs show. He took us to the back of the theater and then we walked through a door and were suddenly in a second theater where we watched a competition in which there were 2 industry notables (Who were arguing whether calculus or algebra were better and whom I didn't know) and other people, one of whom pretended to be Katamari and rolled up things on the stage. (That was probably inspired by this) Anyway, it was our turn to do a show and we were suddenly on the roof of a house for no reason, we crawled around to the front of the house and gave an address on why the iPhone is shit accompanied by a guitarist. (I don't believe that the iPhone is shit, we just listed a few things I don't like about it) We crawled back around to the back of the house, this time Chris was next to me and three nails fell down and nearly killed him, he said "OH SHIT" and I laughed. We were about to be told who won and then I woke up. I'm clearly insane.
  3. Exactly what the title says: What is the most disgusting thing you've ever done? (Accidentally or deliberately) As I posted on the 'Life' thread, mine is: I bought a bag of hard candies, they were black hard candies and they came in a paper bag, you know the ones the put lollies in, and I didn't eat all of them on the first day so I put the bag in the pantry. Anyway, went to bed, in the morning I grabbed the bag and went to watch TV, so i'm sitting there bag in the right hand, using my left hand to grab candies and shove them straight into my mouth while I put my complete attention on watching TV. So at some point I must have grabbed a cockroach that was hiding out in the bag and put it in my mouth, and chewed, and swallowed, then I felt something in between my lips, i grabbed it and it was a still twitching leg. I realized what I had done and ran to the toilet and vomited a cockroach. I hate cockroaches.
  4. Internet Comics

    It's high time there was a internet comics thread, post your favorite internet comic for the good of us all. I don't really read many myself, but Hipster Hitler is amazing.
  5. Far Cry 3

    It may actually be a reality according to this news story. I'm more than a little worried that it will lose it's amazing open world and the very thing that a lot of people didn't like, the insanely unforgiving mechanics. I loved that. There's a lot for them to learn, AI needs to be changed significantly for one and perhaps a little less driving but I really do want them to stick to the formula that made Far Cry 2 so great. How do you feel about it? Do you think Clint Hocking's departure will have an impact?
  6. Arma 3 Alpha Thumbs

    I wish I could have video recorded Orvidos' glorious quadbike flip, that was a thing of true beauty.
  7. Arma 3 Alpha Thumbs

    Had all sorts of fun playing ARMA will you dudes today, will definitely be grabbing STHUD, almost feels essential after watching so many ShackTac videos. Until next time, car team roll on!
  8. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    After seeing this post on Twitter by Steve 'Hot Scoops' Gaynor I just couldn't help myself. Oh, and I guess I'm back. Sup?
  9. The Electronic Three: 2012

    This thread is perhaps early, but let's talk about the upcoming E3 games conference. What are you looking forward to? What do you expect and what do you not expect to be announced? Will Sony announce the PS4, Microsoft the 720, Nintendo the Horsebag? Will Valve finally talk about Half-Life 3 at E3? Let's speculate wildly!
  10. Hitman: Absolution

    Quentin Tarantino Presents: Hitman Absolution: Kill Bill Edition Now with 200% more sexy nuns.
  11. Are people able to upload files?

    Working flawlessly. I'll admit fault for two of those, but not the others.
  12. anime

    I was interested by the art style but before I downloaded the episode I read the description which included reference to obscure Japanese poetry which the show is apparently inspired by/based on. That put me off.
  13. Recently completed video games

    I found myself frequently thinking "Ugh, more of this shit. God damn it Uncharted I just want to continue the story, why are you forcing me to do the thing you're worst at so much?". It was depressing and frustrating.
  14. Well recording is easy enough, but the actual build planning is hard.
  15. Life

    It's been just under 120°F here before, that's hot.
  16. Python or ruby

    I think that all the damn time, I really need to learn a useful language.
  17. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    Swanky! This feels too good to be the Idle Forums.
  18. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I was going to embed this video but the embed image happens to be the exact half a second of the video which is the worst. So instead, click that link for amazing. Be warned, there is gross gore, kind of.

  20. Life

    When I'm doing any coding I always find it easiest to visualize the general flow and figure out certain pieces of code on paper, but writing the entire thing out is just ridiculous.
  21. The Electronic Three: 2012

    June 5-7.
  22. The Electronic Three: 2012

    So glad I didn't catch that live, I literally cannot force myself to watch it for the first time, what little I've heard of it is just too uncomfortable.
  23. The Electronic Three: 2012

    Definitely want to join in on the conference mockery again. This is in Idle Banter because I clicked the wrong thing. If an admin could move it that'd be nice.
  24. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Shame you can't see what's going on on the other side of the table.
  25. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I used to love TB, then I completely lost all respect for him after watching his SC2 live streams. Hard to respect a guy who calls people faggots regularly for some imagined slight that was actually caused by his own bad play.
