Yeah, those suck. Definitely a good early troll enemy. Read more

I call those “Hand Heads.” Is that their official name? They are terrible. Read more

Yeah, I hesitated when linking because I hadn’t yet seen video proof. I’ll take out the link, it doesn’t need to be there. Thanks for that. Read more

I’m glad someone noticed that. Read more

Ha - we didn’t talk about Mad Catz, but we totally should’ve. Read more

It’s a solid mouse, right? I bought one a few months ago and I’m a fan. I’d never had an adjustable-weight mouse before, and it’s pretty nice. Read more

Hey there! Let’s see... Idle Thumbs is my main video game podcast, and I also listen to Serial and the PBS Newshour podcast. I’ll sometimes listen to the Bombcast; it’s a lot of fun, but I usually don’t have time. I listen to Comedy Bang Bang when I have a chance, too. I listened to Welcome to Night Vale for a while… Read more

Ha, nice. I have a slightly different setup, really - I use different caps on the two thumbsticks. I actually wrote a post about it: http://kotaku.com/i-finally-got-… Read more

I’ve been having fun doing these videos, so I’m glad to hear you like em. It’s too bad that so few people have one of the headsets yet (sorry if you preordered but still have to wait for June!) but, might as well show people the games anyway. Read more

That would be cool! I bet it’ll happen in some way or other, though it might take a bit for people to figure out a creative way to do it. Read more

Oh yeah, definitely. Some interactions require two hands—pulling a string out on a talking toy, that kind of thing. Read more

Yeah, that long shot is probably my second favorite thing in the movie.

I’m using a Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X. One of the cheaper ones, but it gets the job done. Read more

I’ve had fun with it, but I’d stop short of calling it a system seller or a killer app. It’d need to be more fleshed-out for that. Elite: Dangerous is more my speed—I like a little exploration and downtime in between frantic space battles. Valkyrie is definitely a convincing showcase for how cool VR games can look,… Read more

I will attest this was 100% just the evening shift being stupid and then Evan was like “if you guys don’t publish this I will.” Read more

True. I’ll make that clear. Read more

Nice, going back to the safe house totally works. I’ll add a note to the post! Read more

Same. I keep trying to imagine environments where this scarf would work as camouflage and coming up empty.
