Idle Thumbs (now with E3 content!)

remixor · Fri 14/05/2004 01:36:48

Update: the first two rounds of E3 preview are up, hooray! A hardware round-up and our first batch of game previews are now available for your perusal...

----

Sorry for the shameless plug, but several guys from various internety areas with which you may be familiar launched a new general gaming site called Idle Thumbs.Ã,Â It's more editorial and opinion-based than sites like Gamespot, and our reviews carry no numerical or symbolic ratings--essentially, we're all about subjectivity.Ã,Â We don't have TONS of content at the moment, but we really wanted to launch by E3, so bear with us.Ã,Â Our E3 content is going to be a little more off the wall than most sites', as we figure any super crazy exclusives are already going to be on Gamespot, IGN, etc.Ã,Â

Anyway, go visit Idle Thumbs - We're probably all about video games!!

Also, post on the forums.Ã,Â Make yourself at home.

if you want lots of stuff for the site you should get in touch with Satanic Software...

MrColossal · Fri 14/05/2004 01:56:40

can you do me a favour? it's really simple and it will differentiate you from all the other exclusives at E3...

Don't... Talk about the booth girls...

That's the only request I make... Good luck

LordHart · Fri 14/05/2004 01:58:11

Looks good so far. I'd probably only check it for the retro section of the site though...

<off-topic> I almost threw up just then, but it stopped in my throat...

Anyway, me equals registering now...

Because you're all flaming heterosexuals!

Really nice site man, lots of good writers and amusing reviews.

Meowster · Fri 14/05/2004 20:15:26

Yeah right. We all that that the reason Double Fine haven't turned up is because it was actually a cover for a secret wedding between Chris and Tim that only close family and friends, and a few sneaky reporters knew about. I'm on to you bastards.

Babar · Fri 14/05/2004 20:42:39

Hmph! The review on Another world got me all excited that they made a sequel or a remake. Then I saw that one has already been made!

Er... hi there. I'm Doug, and I'm the webmaster over at Idle Thumbs (as well as at Adventure Gamers). I just felt the need to state that the booth girls annoy the hell out of me

Ghormak · Fri 14/05/2004 21:24:10

Whoa. Marek's Deus Ex 2 review is as if I had written it myself. Except it had a rich vocabulary and good grammar.

* Ghormak gives an idle thumb up

Meowster · Fri 14/05/2004 22:16:20

Hey, asshole!!!!

I crashed your goddamn wedding!!

...What?! The lighting was kinda funny.

evenwolf · Fri 14/05/2004 22:33:01

I managed to read the GTA violence article (the first bit anyways) and was really amused. Other stuff like the flying goose thing confused me-I couldn't tell if that was some weird game being reviewed or what.

Barcik · Sat 15/05/2004 00:04:51

Lovely! Absolutely lovely!

Cool site, very nice design! The reviews i've read so far have been pretty enjoyable :)

Meowster · Sat 15/05/2004 19:24:23

Joke?

Kingz art is very stylized. I like. What is his obsession with drawing hands?

Wormsie · Sun 16/05/2004 09:12:52

Thumbs are difficult to draw.

We hear.

In this case, because we told him to.
