Idle Thumbs 2: The Fanboy’s Lament
So far, so good with the weekly schedule. We recorded the second episode of Idle Thumbs last night and got it published this morning.
This week features plenty of hands-on reporting on Diablo III and StarCraft II, as well as discussion about the various Blizzard announcements (some of which are a little controversial) and a bit from TGS. There’s also plenty of hands-on from LittleBigPlanet and Fable II. Hands-on is in the air. ‘Tis the season.
Also, I composed and recorded the track “The Fanboy’s Lament,” this episode’s namesake. It can be heard during the podcast in context, with the discussion of the events that prompted it, or downloaded directly from the Idle Thumbs front page. The goal is to feature this kind of musical interlude from time to time on the show if people enjoy it.

So, if I really enjoyed Fable a lot, will Fable 2 rock my world like I’m hoping?

I’m concerned with what you guys said about Diablo 3. How short is it? If you were able to beat it several times in a couple days that has me a little worried.

Pretty sure that Blizzard didn’t have the full Diablo 3 at Blizzcon for everyone to play there, fella.
I dare say that it was only a kiosk demo portion.
