The guys teaming up four-player style to delve headfirst into a new world and see how far they get in ~90 minutes is a way better sell than Starhawk for me. Not complaining, I'm sure Starhawk will be fine, but seeing the guys run into dark caves and try to survive as a four-player team could have been awesome.
Was really hoping for a Minecraft TNT tonight.
We'll probably see it at some point. I mean...
Hey, wanna play Starhawk with us for TNT this week? Join the... four friend requests we've gotten so far by adding "GiantBombing" OK?
Via Jeff's Twitter.
Why, if they had given an earlier announcement that number could be all the way up to eight! C'mon PS3 duders!
The only reason Minecraft is fun to watch on Youtube is because people use mods and plug-ins to build some really amazing stuff or people play those crazy survival maps or adventure-maps with puzzles in them.
Though it could probably be fun to see what they could get done in 90 minutes. They migt have gotten to Iron tools at the end of that. Exciting!
Watching Brad try to build stuff while the other three dudes dick around would have been pretty good. But then again, I haven't had as much exposure to Minecraft as most people.
It's cool to see the kinds of crazy shit that people wind up building in Minecraft, but it does not sound fun to sit there are and watch them go *pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick*
*pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick**pick*

Based on the Quick Look, I reckon there will be some crazy moments in Starhawk, so I don't mind. Minecraft would have been funny to watch for half and hour at most, but then they probably would have run out of steam.
I asked Jeff if they had a back up plan if people didn't show up and he said they have multiple back ups.
There's always next week, right? Diablo III and Max Payne 3, no multi player potential there.
The advantage to Starhawk for TNT is that it supports 32 (right?) players in a match. That's gonna be good news for people trying to get in on the action with the crew. Otherwise you're looking at something like Trials where it's Brad and 3 people from the community - and then another set of 3, and then a set of 3 (in which maybe one person got a second run?) and then done.
Minecraft would be far more entertaining than Starhawx, another 3rd person shooter. If they are doing some minecraft, hopefully it's not just one person building something and they say "see we did minecraft too". It's better if it's multiple people like the quicklook.

It would have been like Dead Island were a few of them played with each other, it would work fine.
The Minecraft TNT would have created some funny moments.
Not saying that I don't have faith that Jeff and whoever else is there will not make me laugh aloud, many times, during the Starhawk TNT. By the way, I thought Starhawk looked kind of cool based on the Quick Look, the light strategy elements seemed neat to me. I may actually pick it up now based on that and give the single player a run through and then try my hand at a little bit of the multiplayer.
That's what I would've said too after seeing the 360 version in action.@Slab64 said:
Now that TNT is over, we can see that Minecraft would have been as bad or worse than the DayZ video in terms of how broken it was.
Pretty sure he meant the PC one, not the 360 one.

Because that would make sense...why? None of the GB guys are playing PC, and that's not the version that just sold 400k copies this week.
After hearing the MUA plans for a future TNT, that sounds like a great idea as I've played the game many times & just works well for a comic book action/RPG game. Highly recommended though Marvel Ultimate Alliance2 is also good but the first is better, too bad they can't do a 3rd one or bring back X-Men Legends to the new console as the 360 can't run them.
Since Brad never managed to give the Live Empress a new name, those Minecraft blocks would just keep on disappearing until the whole TNT was swallowed by the Nothing.

It would make sense because it's the better version and because they could have played on some huge servers with loads of users. Why does it matter that they don't play the PC version?
No matter what... TNT was worth the seal song and this :
Anybody miss this random snippet. Had me laughing so hard.
Awesome show. :D

That's all true, but the point of TNT is normally to play a game that was recently released, they've had loads of time to do one for Minecraft on PC and it never happened.
@Toxeia: Doesn't Max Payne have multiplayer? I could see them just doing that even though it would be boring as hell.

The point of TNT is to play fun multiplayer games usually with community involvement. Nothing about it has to be timely.
My evidence is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, a 2008 release that they played in 2011.
There was just a couple of scenarios for what they could have done really
- Jeff goes into Brad's worlds helps him build that tower he was doing in the ILM video ... creeper appears blows something (funny moment) .. then they get bored and blow the tower using TNT
- Brad goes into Jeff's world they build more tunnels die a couple of times by monsters or lava... they get bored and blow stuff up with TNT
I mean Minecraft isn't all that interesting and vanilla minecraft is even more dull , the mods and all that stuff is what makes Minecraft somewhat interesting plus the guys don't know too much about the things you can do in the world like building a portal to the underworld so I don't know why people wanted a Minecraft TNT so bad when they could've done a PC one when the game came out.

Like I said, not complaining, but their co-op TNTs are always more fun than standard ones. Starhawk did look pretty neat in the QL, to be fair.
Agreed. Dead Island anyone? best TNT ever. Of all time.
Yeah it's kinda lame, another shooty shooter TNT. I've been watching them pretty regularly recently but meh, should have gone with Minecraft this week. Blah blah, there's loads of YouTube, but there's not loads of the GB dudes playing it on YouTube is there Mr. Smuggy McSmuggerPants?

Yeah, it's like some ppl don't know why we come to this site...
We don't come here for information, we come here for entertainment.
I don't care about Minecraft, but i'm sure they would have had a lot of funny ass moments playing it in 4 player Co-op.
But instead we got another boring ass TNT, with one guy playing, and the other 2 looking bored as hell...
They could at least pass the controller around...
But they never do that!!!
Why?!?!
When i'm paying around ppl, i always' ask if they wanna play.
But these guys are always"no!!!
No!!!
You just sit there, and watch me play this damn game for 2 hours!!!
