Idle Thumbs 231 - Computer Processing Unit

Using this custom-built glimmering console of knobs and sliders, we have calibrated the podcast to be perfectly suited to your taste. The sliders have also been tuned to provide you with incredibly fat bass, a catchy counter-melody, and a breathtaking view. The view initially featured twelve cavemen stabbing a mammoth to death with a bunch of spears, and some possible hints at greater lore, but we turned that off with one of the knobs. 00:56 — Intro - Danielle has left for Idle Weekend 02:33 — The Silkscreened Goku - In front of the American Flag 03:42 — Far Cry Primal - They’ve finally admitted the series is about killing animals 05:41 — Far Cry Primal - Obviously it won’t just be straight pre-historic setting 08:55 — Far Cry Primal - Everyone speaks Caveman until you craft Strunk and White 10:18 — Far Cry Primal - Apparently it’s a full release 10:51 — Far Cry (Series) - They should just merge it with Assassin’s Creed 12:15 — Prehistoric Settings - From Bonk’s Adventure the to he Caveman Ugh-Lympics 13:37 — Panoramical - A 3D music visualizer that you control with MIDI 17:37 — Panoramical - There’s a pro version that’s licensed with public performances 18:25 — Fantasia - Nick just saw Spaff’s dad’s favorite movie 19:49 — MIDI Controllers - There’s a lot of options out there 22:09 — World of Warships - It’s good and not as aggressively free-to-play as you’d think 26:19 — World of Warships - Strategy and skill 27:38 — World of Warships - Round length 29:51 — World of Warships - Massively popular games that you’re not aware of 32:25 — Nerds - Not all types have been rolled into the mainstream 33:44 — History - Rob Zacny is a pro at it 35:01 — History - No longer as much of the expected repertoire of an adult 36:13 — History - Today’s the day that Marty McFly went back to the future 37:34 — Artbotic - A subscription service that sends you art 39:55 — MeUndies - Be as sexy and as confident as Jake 42:23 — C.P.U.
