I haven't been accepted in Phaedrus' lair either, but the survey is being done in tiers so the more money you spent probably the later you're going to get survey'd.

[Revolution number one]

Ahhh, that's cool. Guess they're pretty busy atm

I have... I was a dodeca...hundo...dollar...something kicker as well. Was a while back, too.

[Jintor]

Finally sat down and listened to today's cast. It's amazing.

[Twinduct]

Backers only progress cast? :<

[Shaneus]

We deserve it.

It's SO good.

The email it came in was awesome.

SO awesome.

I'm only two minutes into it. But it's awesome so far.

[Antiwhippy]

So when are regularcasts for non backers going to happen? Is there a plan for it yet?

[Shaneus]

No ETAs. They still seem to be working on getting the "studio" up to scratch by the sounds of it (though this most recent one sounds a LOT better than the others) but I think they're still a ways off yet. I wouldn't get excited about it coming out in the next month or so, I'd say.

[Chris Remo]

We still don't yet have a date for when the new casts will be back. We're developing our new website and getting our office fully set up, and when those things happen, the casts will return. It sucks that we're not back up and running yet, but it's been a more complicated process than we expected. Hopefully we'll have a better estimate soon.

I haven't been accepted into the Phaedrus' sub forum yet. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I also haven't got a email about my shirt size yet.

If you've applied for the subforum, you've been accepted. There's no confirmation email or anything, just head over to the Idle Forums and when you go into Phaedrus' Secret Hole put in the password from the original Kickstarter update about the forum.

[GotchaForce]

Can I choose my shirt size anywhere? I'm in it for the podcast coming back and the shirt.

We've only sent out the $10 surveys so far--we're doing it in waves. Keep an eye out for your survey.

[El Sloth]

Chris, have you checked out the DayZ mod for Arma II? I'd love to hear you guys talk about it.

[Hot Coldman]

I'm so glad you guys spoke about that Batman travesty cover-art. Dear God that was stupid.

[Calavera520]

I wouldn't mind holding out until they get some better gear. The echoey-ness was beginning to hurt my ears.

yeah better if they roll with some better loot. Need to find those rare drops.

[karobit]

How has this not been posted yet?! There has to be print made of this.

What is the box supposed to be? Because in my head I'm picturing the mood organ from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Deckard's wife just dialed up "self-satisfied" or something.

I found the image here:

It is apparently an "Equinox 100 Personal Computer Kit," circa 1977:

[Sloane]

Has this been posted yet? Sounds like Steve's version of Warren Spector's one block game that's still waiting to happen. Not much info so far but this could turn out pretty awesome.

[Zanosuke]

Chris, have you checked out the DayZ mod for Arma II? I'd love to hear you guys talk about it.

This. I would love thumb stories from the game : )

If you donated over a certain amount, you can essentially guarantee that they will ;)

[Ceebs]

New update!

And OMG those shitty wizard drawings are incredible!

[sixghost]

New progresscast too, 67 minutes.

[Jintor]

Excellent cast. Contains spoilers for Walking Dead.

I like the ones they push to RSS because I can do garden work while listening!

[Shaneus]

Damnit, now I have to buy Walking Dead, don't I?

[Jintor]

Should've bought it anyway!

[Shaneus]

Still can :P
Anywhere selling it cheap, or is it $25 everywhere?

[Fredescu]

Excellent cast. Contains spoilers for Walking Dead.

Damn. I want to play it eventually, just not yet. This cast will have to wait I guess.

[Shaneus]

Yeah, I got about half-way through it and it kept on getting more in-depth, to the point where I think some basic plot points were spoiled before Scoops called that a major spoiler was coming up.

I paused it there, at 36:03.

[Rez]

amazing podcast, easily the best in awhile.

cheers, guys.

[snoopeasystreet]

amazing podcast, easily the best in awhile. cheers, guys.

Yeah, scoops is awesome.

[Sloane]

amazing podcast, easily the best in awhile. cheers, guys.

Yup. More Scoops!

[Jintor]

A great foray into race and vidyagames (by four middle-class white guys) (they pointed it out, not me)

[rollingstart]

Is there a rough timestamp of these walking dead spoilers?

[Jintor]

I would say the Walking Dead discussion goes until roughly 10 min before the end. Dont' have timestamps, sorry.

[Rez]

I would say the Walking Dead discussion goes until roughly 10 min before the end. Dont' have timestamps, sorry.

The spoilers are very specific, though. I can't time stamp now, though.

[randomwab]

I bottled out in the end and went for a $50 donation. But I regret it. I want those prints. Going to have to drop them a Kickstarter message at the end of the month/payday and ask if I can up it to $200.

[Rufus]

The spoilers are very specific, though. I can't time stamp now, though.

There's a clear point in the conversation where Sean basically tells you to stop the podcast if you don't want to be spoiled. Don't think they mention anything critical before that point, though I could be mistaken.

Fantastic episode. Walking Dead talk and the talk about Gaynor's game was great.

[Odrion]

Hey! Heard that the Walking Dead game sold a million copies, that's awesome!

Grats Jake & Sean, fuck you Jake and Sean.

[The Big Rig]

Hey! Heard that the Walking Dead game sold a million copies, that's awesome! Grats Jake & Sean, fuck you Jake and Sean.

There's no "you" in that meme. You've now offended Jake and Sean with your profanity.

[Shaneus]

Not just Jake and Sean. I'm personally offended as well that such a meme has been used incorrectly. That's like running in here and screaming "PIGEONS!".

[Lijik]

Wawoo

Jeff Gerstt thirst first burst man




I dont know what the far cry 2 equivalent would be. Red Steel 2?

[Shaneus]

It'd have to be the opposite of open world. Uncharted 2? Is the show called Busy Fingers?

[Lijik]

Does Busy Fingers star female versions of the cast, or evil twin dopplegangers with twirlable mustaches?

[Shaneus]

Definitely doppelgangers. Didn't they mention they had doppelgangers in Korea or something? I think Sean was Leonardo DiCaprio or something...

[Odrion]

There's no "you" in that meme.

"Fuck Nick" is just a shortened version of the meme.

...his departure led to the popularisation of the anguished cry "Fuck You Nick!", or the simpler "Fuck Nick!" by legions of lamenting Idle Thumbs fans...

[hey_it's_that_dog]

"Fuck Nick" is just a shortened version of the meme.

I challenge the accuracy of this Giantbomb info page. "Fuck Nick" is clearly the meme, as it is the far more frequently used phrasing. I honestly don't even remember a single instance of "Fuck you, Nick."

[Shaneus]

Yeah, I don't think "Fuck You Nick" was ever popular. Regardless of the origins of the meme, whatever's repeated, by definition, is the meme.
