The Idle Thumbs Podcast

Idle Thumbs GDC 2011

by Jon Cole in Games330 days ago

It’s been made pretty clear over the last year that the CastMedium staff members are big fans of (The) Idle Thumbs (Podcast), despite the fact that their feed has remained dormant for almost six months. Fortunately, that fact has recently been dashed by a couple of “Conf Grenades” that the guys released during this year’s Game Developers Conference. Since these podcasts have managed to fly under some of our radars despite nearly rabid fandom, we thought it might be useful to bring them to the attention of both Idle Thumbs...

Idle Thumbs 51: Burnin’ Down the Wolfman

by Jonathan Downin in Games520 days ago

The Idle Thumbs universes collide with this final Idle Thumbs and The Idle Thumbs Podcast PAX 2010 mashup. The full crew is in attendance and there are plenty of anecdotes to go around. After a few words about the explosion of Diablo clones following he release of Torchlight, the group moves on to discuss the Bioshock Infinite trailer. Duke Nukem Forever also get some time with the guys focusing on their time with the urination section of the game. Chris provides some melodic transitions throughout the show, including live renditions of the Idle...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 5: His Cyborg Familiar

by Jonathan Downin in Games673 days ago

PAX East gets a rundown from Chris and Jake at the beginning of this one. Chris saw a fair amount of stuff at the show, but Marble Madness was the real draw for the guys– yes, really. Chris has been playing some more StarCraft 2 and he is still enjoying it.  A Kane & Lynch movie is one the way and the group is rightfully baffled by the casting of Jamie Foxx as Lynch– again, yes, really. Chris interviewed Jerry Bruckheimer regarding the film during Wondercon and shares a story about a chance encounter with Nic Cage. The emails section yields quite...

Idle Thumbs 39: Video Game Baby

by Jonathan Downin in Games904 days ago

WIZARD!  This episode starts with some praise for Xbox 360′s new Games on Demand service.  It seems like people are increasingly reluctant to pick up physical copies of games.  It’s obvious that at least, if a game is just a button press away that people are more likely to try something that they are only somewhat interested in. After the classic “Horse Bag” discussion last week, the guys are talking about more peripherals that are designed to read input directly from your body.  This includes a patent coming out of Sony...

Player One Podcast | Episode 133 – Pleased to Meet You, Soulless Automaton

by Jonathan Downin in Games1006 days ago

There is some serious hate directed towards the iPhone this week, not so much from the guys, but from a caller.  It funny how some are so negative about gaming on the iPhone to the point that it comes off as almost defensive.  Anything that widens the gaming audience is a positive thing. The lamenting of the downfalls of Resident Evil 5 and Killzone 2 goes on.  Both of these seem to have equally underwhelmed a lot of the people that were looking forward to them. The guys have some hands-on impressions of the InFamous demo and not all is well. ...

Player One Podcast | Episode 121 – Pedal to the metal

by Jonathan Downin in Games1090 days ago

We have a new podcast being added to the line-up around here to start out the week.  It’s comprised of former EGM editor, Chris Johnston and former GameNOW editor Phil Theobald.  A new regular addition that many of you may know, is recent ex-1UPer, Greg Ford. The pace here is a little slower and not quite as hard hitting as many of the game podcasts featured here, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  On the contrary, it’s actually kind of nice to hear thoughts on games from people who are, for the most part, not in the games...

Xbox 360 Fancast 099 — Mmm … Marmite

by Jonathan Downin in Games1124 days ago

Only 1 more until 100 for the Fancast guys.  I don’t think there is any special episode 100 “hooplah” coming though. Wow, Dustin, that is quite the amazing Fable II story.  It seems like such a bright game on the surface but you really can go crazy.  I’m proud I can say I went through the whole game and had no such “interactions.” This is it, the last episode before we hit the mighty number 100. Barring some horrible catastrophe on a galactic scale, we’ll probably make it. This week, we discuss all the...

Rebel.fm – Episode 1

by Jonathan Downin in Games1129 days ago

The former 1UPers are very fast on their feet with this one.  Following them being let go, thus the end of 1UP FM, they have decided to start a new podcast dubbed Rebel.fm. The crew is addressing some circumstances and goings on around 1UP in the past few days and the events leading up to this outcome.  Then they get back to what they do best– game talk. The download is going slow so be prepared for a little wait. Won’t you please welcome Anthony Gallegos, Nick Suttner, Philip Kollar, Matt Chandronait, Ryan O’Donnell, Jade Kraus, and...

Joystiq Podcast 078 – Holiday Spectacular edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1148 days ago

The Joystiq crew are in a festive mood and Justin is talking Lips and You’re in the Movies.  I can’t imagine the Xbox can jump the casual gap with these titles.  In fact, I’m not sure anyone can with Nintendo completely wrapping up the demographic. Quincying has really taken off.  Justin really nailed it with that one.  Don’t know what it means?  Check out the quincy at Joystiq. Oh, and thanks guys for backing up my call that Fable II perpetually keeps you coming back for more. “A spectacular? Really?” We...

The Totally Rad Show | Episode 91 – Full Release

by Jonathan Downin in Games1151 days ago

Ah Tuesdays– TRS makes Tuesdays rival Fridays for best podcast day.  We get the joy of watching Dan putting up Christmas lights for the first time. The guys dish out some more apathy for Playstation Home.  Does anyone else get a strange sense of enjoyment when Alex really pours the hate on something?  If I had to list my top podcasts out there, TRS would definitely be right at the top. Day the Earth Stood Still takes us to its leader. Is Time Crimes sublime? Far Cry 2 reinvents the sequel. Playstation Home sweet home? Plus, DBaM Holiday...

1UP Yours Special thanksgiving edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1168 days ago

Games covered: Valkyria Chronicles Far Cry 2 Peggle Dig into the day after Thanksgiving with a special holiday episode of 1UP Yours. John, David, Shane, and Garnett share tales of holidays past from the community to help get you in the spirit. And they’ve been playing games like Valkyria Chronicles, Far Cry 2, Peggle, and whole lot more. Runtime –...
