Thursday Night Throwdown 07/22: ModNation Racers

This game still totally holds up. I love it.

Good lord the picture quality is so much better than Ustream's.

Damn Ryan really laying into Kessler. 

The PBR!!!!

Please use ustream/livestream >.> For some reason justin.tv player just doesnt work for me sometimes.

I guess it's just because I've had an emotionally-draining night...but pressing the play on the archived version and seeing Jeff and Ryan do the most simplest shit with their eyebrows made me laugh hard enough to form tears in my eyes.
 
Thanks, Giant Bomb.  For being funny when I can't be <3

Wow, the picture quality here is so much better than UStream.

Do they know that they're PS3 is still on and they are still in the gameroom?
Or my friends list is broken or something

The conversation about the Nurburgring was the greatest thing ever. 

haha tf2 was way better but still some good fun

"  Also, to everyone else who responded to me, calm down. I was like half joking. I obviously dont think Jeff hates everything, I was just pointing out in a purposefully stupid and angry way that Jeff seems to hate a lot of stuff. So responding and saying "Well I hated Halo 2" and "its an opinion man" means nothing and is pretty stupid to say. Of course its an opinion, and I could have an opinion that Jurassic the Hunted was the greatest game ever made, but that would be a pretty stupid opinion, so stop with those dumb comments. The point is not that Jeff's opinion is wrong or stupid, the point is that he has those opinions and it seems a bit odd that he seems to hate some things and for the only reason of "its stupid", thats all. "

I was able to make it right at the end, had fun racing with everyone. Hope I can make more TNTs

" @DoctorWelch:   Yeah he does dislike alot. However its not my experience that he "just" dislikes it. My impression is that Jeffs opinions are usually well supported with reasons.   Another thing could be that hes a video game reporter. Many musicians automatically dislike some music because its "simple" or otherwise not inovative. That might be a factor. "

FTW can mean something other than "Fuck the World"? On man, I'm rather out of touch (thank god!)
 
Listening to a bunch of 30 year old nerds making fun of how 18 year old nerds talk is truly priceless!

Is it over? I is sad...

Sad I didn't get to join in on the fun this evening, stupid after-hours work... 
 
*grumbles*

Fuck  nurburgring mixup w/ Kessler had me cracking up so fucking bad. And the Bauser shit too. Damn man what a great mix-up to make. 

yay

This site could do with a little more Will Smith every now and then!

Twoz good.

Best TNT for the off topic commentary alone. Also, Will Smith is awesome.

" Where's my Top Chef pre game discussion? "

Yeah, what gives? "

dammit ryan "

I was just tuning in for this specifically. "  

All will be forgiven if the next Whiskey Media site is Cooking Show based and headed by Vinny. Someone check if Cooked.com or ChefVine.com is available. "

Justin.tv service works a lot better!

Ryan did a pretty impressive Australian accent once, he should bust that out more often.

New Kessler Kam confirmed.  Excellent.

i bet this will be the shortest TNT ever, i'm not 360 fanboy or something, i even owned modnation racers (for 2 weeks before getting bored an re-sell it) , in my own experience this game can get really annoying

" Why does Jeff hate everything? Everything, litterally EVERYTHING that anyone else likes, he hates. The N64 Mario Kart was by far the best of the Mario Kart games and it seems that Jeff hates it because people seem to like that one the most. He hates Halo 2 even though that was the best one. He hates Final Fantasy, hates Monster Hunter, hates Sonic (which I get but still), hates WoW, not only in video games but he hates Star Wars, Alien, Predator, basically everything but old ass cartoons and Star Trek . Is there anything other than a few limited fighting games, burnout paradise, Modern Warfare, and Persona 4 that Jeff doesnt hate? "

Opinions not facts "

No shit sherlock, but the point is he just seems to hate things because other people like them, not because has any real reason for hating it. "

Ryan is really bad at this game. Not very fun game to watch when he only hit walls and almost never drift.

What a boring game.... I thought I was missing out because I don't have a PS3.  Looks like I made a good choice.

Quality is great but I start to find it unwatchable when the audio is SO out of sync "

Badgers? 
We don't need no steenkin' badgers!
