Thursday Night Throwdown 4/26: Super Monday Night Combat

I love that the taunt description mentions big dog pitbull. The game is pretty good too.

Look Ma' they made it!

This is the coolest thing so far this year. It sucks that I suck at playing veteran.

I've been playing since December and I've wondered how long it was going to take them to do this. Pretty excited.

I'm gonna set up an account and redeem that code even though my computer can't run the game. I want that skin waiting for me whenever I upgrade my computer.

Man, I'm SUPER bummed that I can't play this today. I have an exam 30 minutes after it starts. And I've put over 200 hours into the SMNC, too...

It's a bit shitty that they release this for a character that you just happen to have to pay for to use this week. I'm sure it's a complete coincidence...right?

I'll say this only because it needs reinforcement. THIS is the kinda stuff that makes Giant Bomb better than any of the other sites out there. Fun cross-promotions, trying to make their business platform based off of something both GB fans and SMNC fans can enjoy.

My favorite part was when he said "GiantBomb"

This is so awesome.

I'm not a fan of MNC, but I'm a fan of TNT!

@Extreme_Popcorn: Good thing you can unlock all of the playable characters by just playing the game!

IMHO, this character should have just been voiced by Jeff.

@Greebman: I could be wrong, but I don't remember suplexing any robots in TF2.

This is one of the greatest things over, and a trend that I hope continues.

When I played the taunt In-game I didn't hear him say Gaintbomb though.... =/

Don't know if VA is Jeff, but does sound like something Jeff would say / could do an impression of.

I can't freaking WAIT for this to start tonight... I hope I get picked to play! (it would be a first)

Could this game be any more of a TF2 rip off?

Have you played it? It's nothing like TF2.

If you haven't played the game yet, you really should.  It's not a TF2 clone like so many people say, in fact it's not like it at all.  It's more like a DOTA style game.  It's fun as hell and you don't need to spend any money to unlock stuff.  You naturally earn coins to unclock.  I'm loving this game a lot more than I thought I would.

I'm not a fan of MNC, but I'm a fan of TNT!

@ttocs: Same here. I love this game and my main is Vet.

Monday Night Combat on Thursday Night Throwdown? That's like two days in one!

So who do we send an invite to in order to play tonight?

Love cross promotional stuff like this! Going to stop playing DOTA 2 for awhile and fire up some SMNC!

So who do we send an invite to in order to play tonight?

If you want a chance to play with us, and a select, elite few members of the Uber posse, send a Steam friend request to GBTNT , and be ready to sizzle at 4PM Pacific Time!

I can't find any steam user named GBTNT, though, so the question is a pretty good one.

I'm having trouble finding the GBTNT tag on Steam. Is it not up yet or is there a particular name I have to look for?

For those having trouble finding GBTNT, go to your friend sub-menu (your buddy list), click 'Add a friend...' and then enter 'GBTNT' into that field that pops up. This should link you to the correct profile.

As an xbox MNC fan I'm saving for a PC just to play this, will I be able to redeem it later if I get a code sent to my email today?

@ZeForgotten: derp. Just read the top part >>

RIDICULE ME INTERNET! I deserve it!

@ZeForgotten: I ended up using the URL. Thanks, ZeForgotten. Also, thanks Zor for the help as well.

@samcroft90: You can redeem the code at any time. It will rest safely in your email inbox until the time is right to strike.

Awesome Luchadeer skin, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still intimidated by this game.

I haven't played SMNC yet but played a bunch of MNC, and while there is a lot to it, the good part is that you can just jump in and figure it out.

There are enemy robots and players that are a different colour than you - shoot them. This helps the team! You can figure out the rest from there!

This is all kinds of amazing. All of them. I checked.

Steam says that GBTNT's friends list is full

Do I have a limited time to generate the code or redeem it?

Because Steam wants to do a huge SMNC update and I'm past my monthly data cap. Basically I can't get into the game to redeem the code for the next few weeks. I got one though, at least.

Got my code...too bad I can't play until I get a better PC.

So, I now own a skin and taunt for a Pro that I do not have access to...?

Hahahaha well played.

friend's list full :(

Where is this redeem code button that is supposedly on the games store screen? Feeling really dumb/ blind right now

Man this is soooo awesome! I'm gonna try out SMNC now.

@Cronus42: Upper right corner.

@dox: Thanks, turns out my client wasn't updating, and the button actually didn't exist, so I'm not totally crazy.

dang, they say we need to add GBTNT, but their friendslist is full. I guess I'll have to pass this TNT then :/

@StarvingGamer: You can use the gear when Veteran is in free rotation. We rotate out the Pros on a weekly basis

Full up. I really was hoping to play. :/
