Charles Babbage, the man whom many consider to be the father of modern computing, never got to complete any of his life’s work. The Victorian gentleman was a brilliant mathematician, but he wasn’t very good at politics and fundraising, so he never got the financial backing to finish any of his elaborate machine designs. For decades, even his fans weren’t certain whether his computing machines would have worked.

OK So, technically it’s the third one we’ve put together, and even more technically it’s about the 13th, but Marek and myself have just published our second Idle Thumbs podcast. The first 30-40 minutes or so involve a big old conversation about MMOs, discussing WoW, Planetside, Ragnarok Online and Eve amongst others. After a break we are joined by my girlfriend Rusalka to discuss Pokémon and MGS 4, and the final segment involves us pitching some game stupid ideas to our good friends Ben and Lawrence, both of who work within the Games Industry.
