Blistered Thumbs was a subdivision of Channel Awesome where video games were the main topic of discussion. Video games from every console and year were discussed among the contributors. Since the start of TGWTG.com, the section grew into its own subsection on the site. On June 5th, 2009, it was announced that the Blistered Thumbs group was going to branch from the main site. Listed below are the contributors of Blistered Thumbs and their shows.
On October 15th, 2010, a special announcement was made about the release of Blistered Thumbs as its own website! On October 29th, a second special announcement was made, declaring that the new site would debut on November 5th and inviting fans of Channel Awesome to apply to fill several positions on the website's staff.
By November 5th, 2010, Blistered Thumbs launched with incredible fanfare!
On January 16th, 2014, Blistered Thumbs was shut down indefinitely.
Unlike Team that Guy with the Glasses, Blistered Thumbs member's YouTube accounts had at least a million and over 500,000 subscribers yet most of the other team had at least 100,000 subscribers.
