Thursday Night Throwdown 08/19: Monday Night Combat

The list must have opened up a bit because I got added today! I did add GB on monday but a few hours after the I love Mondays.

Dammit Kessler, did you sabotage their tech out of spite for not being put on permanently?!? Or was it that new guy, Lemon! In any case, the interns will be to blame for no apparent reason!!!

WOOT! It just started!

this is so disappointing - how am i supposed to get in a TNT?  last time i tried to get in one, for Red Dead, i sent the request as soon as the announcement was made and i didn't get in cuz they cleared the list.  so this time i wait until the day of to send the request, only to find out they stopped accepting them days before.  Which is it?  urghhh!!!

Damn, Jeff, looking good. He's been losing a lot of weight recently.

Lemon!

yeeeaaah!

Damnit Rookie!

Do you think its worth the $15?

" I'm not a huge fan of TF2 (don't get me wrong, it's good fun, but it doesn't quite click with me), so I've kept away from MNC - this may sway my mind one way or the other. "

new spot is gangsta!

thats how you advertise an event!

Damn!
Lost connection to host! 
Anyway, went like 36-8 last time :]  
Good game. I will now be a spectator I suppose...

I'm up for a brisk round of BaconShotty!

 Hey guys Bob Berry here, CEO of Uber Entertainment. Thought I'd take a break from working on the game to check this out. Loving every minute of it :)   Will be happy to answer questions if I hear them. BTW, The Bacon and Ammo reference is from one of our sponsors AmmoMule, half ammo cooler half bacon cooker. "Keep your ammo cool and your bacon hot!"

i hope there are different games

Pro tip. The flapjack/pancake achievement is easiest to do on a deployed tank or gunner. Just hover above them and ground slam.

Ugh, this is making me want to get this sooo bad.

Yes, we are a small company. About 20 people, some of those part time :)

" @CptBedlam: We're not yet ready to announce specific plans, but I am comfortable saying we're 100% committed to continuing to support the game and grow the community. We're working on lots of cool stuff :) "

Intern steve sounds like Adachi from P4.

Love this game.

I getting out oos audio

Stopped watching when that tosser Matt joined.

We can't pay for that! Haha

None of the animations are mo-capped. It's all made from scratch. I did most of it except the ones that had talking lines. We had other awesome animators helping out.

There are 4 maps right now. They come up at random and you can veto in case you get the same one in a row and people don't want to play it.

Hey, I didn't do too bad (even though we LOST!) 
Killed Brad at least 3 times...

:( No free-for-all download codes for this.

Sync issues, audio drops, and total video catastrophes.
 
Yep, this is a TNT alright.
 
You'd think that a bunch of people who run live demos for a living would learn how to run a live demo without so many problems!

Why can't they make these into videos you can watch on some other day? I can't always watch them.. Is it too big of a video? anybody know why?

" @CptBedlam:      I would say the animator should work closely with the game designer and the person implementing the animations into the game( If you're not implementing your own animations already). "

Hopefully, my turn at TNTD will come soon...

Hey guys thanks so much for watching and participating. Here's a free Monday Night Combat code   MMTX8-788PV-J8844-RGC4C-V8CWY    Whoever redeems it first gets it!

Of course, the one TNT I get on the friends list for is the one that I have yet to be invited to. Hopefully I will get in there somewhere.

" Say hi to AZO everyone. He's Uber's ninja animator! When this is over check out his Youtube channel  http://www.youtube.com/user/azoazotube "

Fuck, woke up late. At least I can catch the last 40 minutes.

:( but I wanna kill giantbomb staff...*cries*
