Is there a reason that the recorded footage from TNT doesn't go up on the Videos section of the website? I find myself missing them just cause I'm forgetful and dont remember to go to the other websites, but I do really enjoy watching them. Just think more people would end up seeing it if it goes straight onto the site after the live stream.. Just a thought, and if there is a reason it cant or hasn't been done yet, fill me in.
TNT in the Videos section of the site?
I would like to see archived versions of TNT hosted on the site and easily accessible on the video page. I don't know why they aren't but they are running out of room on the video navigation.
Maybe fellow Giant Bomb user Gill can help with his.....helpful list of games featured on TNT.There's also links to each video.

I think the issue here is that the video for each TNT episode is archived and hosted by the streaming service and therefore there's no copy of it on Giant Bomb to place in the videos section.
As far as I see it, the main draw for TNT is the ability to play with the staff so I don't think they consider it the utmost importance to archive all the broadcasts. Especially when you consider that it's 2 hours of footage every week. Unless the staff can be convinced that there are enough users who want to watch past TNTs on demand, I don't think they would want to cough up the resources or tackle the extra hurdles of capturing and archiving 2 hours of footage weekly. Until then, you'll just have to sift through the archives on Ustream and Justin.tv, or navigate through my list if you want to see past episodes.
I think it's just a matter of the cost of hosting that stuff. Hosting a 2 hour+ video would cost them a ton of money, and in the end it wouldn't really be worth it for them to do that. That and the fact that recording two hours of footage is risky if it would become corrupt, as was the case with Ep. 50 of the Persona 4 ER.
