Didn't catch its name, though it also officially did not have one, but it was mentioned in the Bombcast.
Thursdays at 4 PM PDT (That's Giant Bomb Time), they live stream some multiplayer (with the community), starting with Super Street Fighter 4.
What do you guys think should be next? I would love a TF2 or L4D2 night myself.
Edit: This was about Thursday Night Throwdown for those of you in the future present who saw the name.
Giant Bomb Live Stream Multiplayer Thing
"Starting this Thursday we will be having a ... basically we're going to do a live video stream of popular online multiplayer games."
Yep, it's recurring.
Wow, I guess I zoned out for a moment there then. That can happen a coupla times over the course of the two hour podcast. Glad I was wrong, I never was much for Street Fighter.
As for the ACTUAL question: I agree with the OP (is that used here?) err... @TheMasterDS. I would enjoy seeing the bomb crew's take on Team Fortress 2. I'm curious to see how they play each of the classes. They talked about it a coupla bombcasts ago and I guess that planted a seed "GIANT BOMB TF2!".
With regards to versions with TF2 they'd really need to go PC only because it's tons better than the 360 version, but with L4D2 I'd rather see them hit both versions because L4D2 is good where ever. I guess though, it should be a function of how many people play either version and since people do play L4D2 on the 360, it should be alright.
As for L4D2, I've built a friends list full of good miced players over games of L4D/L4D2 players over the last year and a half. I think that if you can do that with your friends list, you'll be alright.
@DystopiaX: Yeah, I can see that. Best part about it is that since Brad has the most L4D2 experience, having reviewed it, he'd probably be saving everyone else. Unless the infected killed him first of course.
" @Bratcher_Lev said:No. Not MW2. Fuck that game. I'd prefer if they play some strange, obscure NES game or something." If I remember right, it sounded like they were ONLY playing SSF4. "No they said it would be a recurring thing, and i just want them to play Modern Warfare 2. "
That said, I wonder how much interaction they'll have with the community? Can they figure out a way to pay attention to the voice chat such that the players are talking to the crew?
You know, I know it's probably not played online at all anymore, but I would love a Nuts and Bolts edition of Multiplayer Thing. Make it happen Brad!
Also I have not gotten the big brother quest yet despite you very clearly looking at my topic. I guess it's glitched then. Oh well.
" @Jeff: Awesome. Are you going to use GiantBombing for this and have us send friends requests to it if we want in? I can see that filling up real fast if that's the case. Hope that Halo 2's deactivation allows you a little more leeway there soon with a larger limit.Ha, Jeff commented on a topic I made and it didn't ding for me either. I sent him a PM about it and then INSTANTLY regretted it.

" @JDUB_XL: There's a topic here where they try to figure that out. If you want we can take the middleman out and discuss it here, but I'm fine with them having that conversation there. "
Ok, thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and posted in that thread too.
