Thursday Night Throwdown 09/16: Halo: Reach

Get Noble with Giant Bomb on this week's community game night!

After being preempted by the Whiskey Media Big Live Live Show, Live! last week, Thursday Night Throwdown returns with the thunderous crack of a Brute's gravity hammer with none other than Halo: Reach! I don't know how familiar you dudes are with video games, but it's my understanding that the Halo series is pretty well-known for its multiplayer, and Halo: Reach may just feature the most robust multiplayer in a Halo game yet, something we'll try and take full advantage of starting at 4PM Pacific Daylight Time this Thursday!
 
If you want to get in on the action, simply send a friend request to GBTNT on Xbox Live. Also, as select members of the Giant Bomb community are already aware, we've been crowdsourcing our TNT promos, which is another way of saying that we make you do the work! If you want to get in on the Photoshop phun, check out this thread to find out how you can contribute. Please make sure to read the first post in the thread for guidelines.
 
Otherwise, be sure to join us, and all of your friends in the chat, this Thursday at 4PM Pacific Daylight Time for your next Thursday Night Throwdown!

Damnit, I just realized that I have class on Thursdays now... although I'll only miss 30 minutes to an hour of the TNT's, so I'll get some of it.

Do they ever accept new requests if people don't show up on Thursday? 
 
Been looking forward to this, and already have my copy of Reach, but it filled up super quick.

Well if someone removes themselves from the list then yes but not during the TNT. I really hate people playing a different game during TNT. They discourage so many.

I donno... seems like the prime time of year for people to be dishin' out some Lair of the Shadow Broker spoilers and what-not in the chat. Then again, every chat session has those people. 
 
I'll be watching... maybe.

@TheBeast: If you're not able to actually participate within the hours the TNT runs for. Just remove yourself from the TNT friends list (assuming they accepted you) so they don't waste an invitation on you and that there's the possibility of a free slot on the list for someone else. It's the gentlemanly thing to do!

Could you perhaps then thin it out and send invites while it happens? because its an 360 exclusive, and the guys who got accepted are given double of the normal amount of time to play.

Or... this community could help each other by removing themselves after they've played.
 
Yeah. Like that would ever happen :(

So who is playing for the home team?  Guessing Brad or Drew.  I would have guessed Jeff but his twitter suggests he is flying off somewhere (unless he is flying back from somewhere?).
