    Do you like the visceral drama of a modern military setting? Do you like hearing soldiers shout and curse in multiple languages? Perhaps most importantly, do you like pretending to shoot guys in the face? Then tonight's the night, as we'll be playing some Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from 4PM to 6PM Pacific Daylight Time on this week's Thursday Night Throwdown!
      
    If you want to get in on some of the Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush, and maybe even a little Onslaught action tonight, you can send us a friend request to GBTNT on the Xbox 360, or just join us on our dedicated BC2 server on the PC, which you can find on the in-game server browser as "Giant Bomb/Tested Slamma Jamma Super Happy Fun Time." If you'd rather just kick back and relax, you can watch the live video stream below or chat it up on Giant Bomb's official Justin.tv channel, which we'll be pulling questions from during the broadcast.  
     
    UPDATE: Show's over folks! Thanks to everyone who suffered from my helicopter piloting. If you missed it live, you can watch the archived version below.

    Seriously though, I wonder if they will be able to empty out the server to get a new batch of players.

    Wait... what? You don't want to watch because they aren't playing this game on PS3? Or are you upset that you aren't going to be able to participate because you *have* this game for the PS3.

    Usually I can't play TNT because I have most games on PC. The last couple of TNT's have been great :). Can't wait to try to get into this one. 
     
    I'd like to ask everyone if they do get in, to only get in once and try not to keep getting in so everyone else can have a chance. It's only fair that way.

    I should've clarified earlier but yes, I have BC2 for PS3. If I can't play with the GB crew then I'm not going to sit around for 2 hours watching a high profile FPS. If they were playing something I hadn't played or was more interesting to watch then sure, I'd watch it, but sitting and watching BC2/MW2 is just not my cup of tea.

    I've read somewhere that in 2035 the world will be all out of Thursdays. But until then there will be plenty of opportunities for owners of various platforms to participate in these events. There will be cross-platform games as well as exclusives, deal with it. If this is what makes life unfair to you, well... you have my sympathy.
