Thursday Night Throwdown 07/15: Team Fortress 2

Grab a sandvich and a can of Bonk! It's time for a some proper BLU versus RED! HEROIC PROMOTION!

In the spirit of Mann Co. CEO Saxton Hale, let's cut to brass tacks, gentlemen. Giant Bomb's lack of proficiency/familiarity with Team Fortress 2 is no secret. A lot of people have been playing this game non-stop since its initial launch way back in the Mesoproterozoic Era of 2007, but we are, shamefully, not among them. Luckily, the Whiskey Media family has a deep bench of TF2 enthusiasts, which we'll be calling on for this week's Thursday Night Throwdown!

That's right, y'all! Soldiers, Demomen, Medics, Engineers, Pyros, Spies, Scouts, Heavies, and Snipers will all be in full effect as our friends from Tested.com, as well as key members from the Whiskey Media engineering team, prepare to brutally murder/be murdered by you! That's right, YOU! If you want in on this World Series of Blood, hop on the Official Giant Bomb Team Fortress 2 server at tf2.giantbomb.com or 8.17.251.194:27015 if domain name services scare you. We'll be playing, and broadcasting LIVE, at 4PM Pacific Daylight Time this Thursday July 15th, though the server is up now if you want to hone your skills, and will keep going after we've turned off the cameras. 
 
If you missed the live stream, enjoy the archived version below, and stay tuned for our announcement of what we'll be playing on next week's Thursday Night Throwdown!

The Justin.tv stream is so much better for video quality than the Ustream.... uh... stream. The only problem is that the sound desynced really quickly.

I've probably played close to twenty hours of TF2. Ever. Took about the first fifteen hours to find a decent, solid, fun server. Then after about five hours on that server, was kicked and banned for no apparent reason. I figured maybe they just needed space for an admin, until I saw that I was banned, too. Meh. Went back to Counter-Strike.

BTW, there is an easy way to make sure "friends" can join and will auto kick others. I figured the Tested dudes would have that shit locked down, guess not. It was really frustrating trying, and failing to get on. This was the only TNT I'd been excited for... 
  
Red wins?
