About Idle Thumbs
Idle Thumbs is a podcast - about video games! Running since 2008, Idle Thumbs is currently a weekly podcast in which three friends who work in the industry talk about games, things tangentially related to games, and things not at all related to games. Readers can expect in-depth enthusiastic discussions, equally enthusiastic riffs on tangential silliness, and anything in between.
Recently Idle Thumbs has expanded into a network which includes 3 Moves Ahead and the Idle Book Club. Additionally the Thumbs ocassionally stream themselves playing games Saturdays on their TwitchTV account.

[Moss]

Oh god.

 

[newjeruse]

Oh god.

The Oscar poster is amazing.

First ever without Chris, right? He always seemed like the 'host' of the show so it'll be interesting to hear how they record without someone leading them.

... I follow Duncan Fyfe on twitter because of the #TwitterChillers thing he did a while ago that was hilarious. He is so entertaining to follow I figured he was some out-of-work comedy writer using twitter to show how funny he is to try and get a job. No clue he had anything to do with games.

Also hearing Olly is awesome. Fun episode from what I have listened to so far.

They talk about Twilight Imperium? I can't wait to hear that portion of the podcast, as that is probably my favorite board game.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

Twilight Imperium AND Risk: Legacy...I love these guys.

 

[soxinthebox]

Shadows of the Empire? Alright, you have my ears this week.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Sounds like an excellent 'cast. Looking forward to it.

 

[spindrift]

I got into the Star Wars movies through Tie-Fighter.

 

[mentalfloss]

I have a feeling I'll be putting on that cast of Chris saying '5' a bunch of times just to make up for no Chris cast.

 

[demidar]

No Chris means more chances to go hilariously off-track

Spoiler

I think

[Lasthope106]

WTF! I paid good money to have Chris on the podcast.

Spoiler

I'll let this one slide.

Sorry, I've been permanently replaced by Olly Moss.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Sorry, I've been permanently replaced by Olly Moss.

Are you going to be making awesome posters in protest?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Sorry, I've been permanently replaced by Olly Moss.

Olly Boost Moss. Or Moost.

Did Alex actually talk other than announcing stuff? This episode was hell for identifying voices with all the different people.

I haven't listened to this whole episode yet, so I don't know how much Alex talks, but I do know that Alex is identifiable for having the poshest English accent of any Thumb. Although Lawrence sometimes gives him a run for his money.

What an unexpectedly awesome combo I never would have seen coming.

Made all the more weirder as I was wearing my Idle Thumbs shirt today in my graphic design class, during which I lamented (again) the cost of an Olly Moss Black Widow poster.

Games Discussed:....Shadows of the Empire

Holy shit.
