Idle Thumbs: Shots Fired!

Well, not exactly, but at 34.20 of this week's podcast Video Games Rodkin and the gang claim their stake to the name "Scoops", wizards, and pitch a decent idea for a t-shirt.

This is stupid.

Hot scoops ?

Do you work on this Idle Thumbs podcast?

WE HAVE CLAIMED THIS STAKE

THIS STAKE, IS OURS

I've thought this for a while about the 'wizard' thing when GB was making a big deal about it. Also 'Cool Baby' tea leaved from My Brother My Brother and Me.

They've been using the word "scoops" for ages. They also had wizard jokes before the Bombcast did, and theirs isn't even similar to GB's.

Basically:

Which way is it to the meat dimension?

We need to put the kibosh on the phrase "shots fired."

Agreed. I put it up there with the phrase "dropping an f bomb".

Shots...Fired?

Yachts Hired!

As a fan of both podcasts, I say that Patrick Klepek should drop hot scoops, and let Steve Gaynor have it.

Patrick's held it for a while, but I think it'd be a big relief and things would be a lot less tense if he just let go.

After so long, I don't even know if Steve wants it to fall back on him (I'd personally like to see that) but it definately seems confusing and wrong to pick up Scoops just because nobody's using it. On that I think we can all agree.

@I_smell: that's some wine sip'er trolling right there.

When I heard this weeks podcast I KNEW someone would make thread about it on these forums!

But they do have a point. Idle Thumbs was indeed years ahead to call someone Scoops. Hot scoops. I think Patrick can be Tricky instead (even though I actually think he deserve the nick Scoops). For to be honest, when I heard "scoops" on Giantbomb the first time I almost directly thought about Idle Thumbs. The talked a short while about wizzards to but I don't think Giantbomb had made a big deal out of that.

But you know what? There is enough room on the Internet for two Scoops.

I just hope Patrick won't be hard pressed after holding Scoops for a few months and then letting it go.

Oh, I didn't noticed the ™ after the name Scoops.

This is fucking weak.

Obviously there needs to be a Scoop Off. There can be only one.

Also the amount of snarky responses in a pretty harmless thread is kinda a bummer.

Shots fired was seen as a negative, god the internet is dumb thing? I haben't even seen it that much.

@MB I didn't set out to make a quote tree... I just planted the seed and nature took its course.

Quote trees find a way.

Firing shots is the new thing.

The IGN Game Scoop podcast has had the word "scoop" long before either bombcast or idle thumbs.

I would like to thank the Idol Thumb guys for listening to and enjoying our podcast, and I'm glad we could inspire them to start their own.

That Kickstarter money is going to be used to sue Giant Bomb, isn't it?
