Petition to Change the Ending of Tonight's TNT

I'm on the phone with my lawyer right now. I am working to get complaints filed with the FTC and BBB and FGC and FAA and FBI and AAA and ABC and the YMCA. I am also starting a class action lawsuit against GiantBomb and CBSi. This will not stand until Vinny comes out and admits he made a mistake and commits ritualistic suicide to make up for it!

Signed, it did not take into account my choices at all. Frankly I am thinking about suing them for false advertisement.

Same. They deserve it, that pre-order Vinny content should have been on stream.

They had a forty sitting there and teased it all during the show, but in the end...nothing. I felt cheated.

I thought Ryan was going to reappear and save the day, but he never did. It's like they took none of the previous story into account.

This....and I signed..52 more to go!

I bet the ending to that TnT was the same for everyone who watched it.

Signed! This is completely outrages how they treat their fans...

10/10

I imagine there has to be at least one person out there that doesn't get the joke, and gets all angry at us for demanding something so insane. That pleases me greatly.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

I can't believe you guys are actually trying to get the ending of TNT changed! Whether you enjoyed it or not, you have to respect the artistic integrity of the experience that Giant Bomb the CBS Interactive overlords were trying to create!

Will we have to pay to see that optional content or will they update it in a patch?

EDIT: Turns out, even though I was on the forums for hours, filled the bar all the way but, apparently, I only got the second best ending! wtf?

I don't believe you guys, obviously they ruined the ending on purpose just to get you to pay $15 for the DLC "fixed" ending. Classic CBSi!

This thread is full of win. Office Bat approves.

I created a petition that you can sign here, requesting that Giant Bomb and CBSi change the ending to tonight's episode of Thursday Night Throwdown. Clearly, the creative integrity of Giant Bomb has been damaged by this ending. None of our choices made in previous installments in the series were brought into account when closing out the episode, and I think we should let them know how we feel.

You deserve a medal.

You've been just waiting to use this joke haven't you? Well bravo in the execution.

Office Bat does not approve.

The ending felt totally out of place and I didn't get what they were trying to say. But if they really meant for TNT to end that way then I guess they have every right to do so.

What's the point of this ending when there is no Vinny in the final scene? Are you telling me that Patrick, a late game new character, deserves more screen time than Vinny? I respect the twist of taking Ryan out and replacing him with Alexis in the first third of this TNT but no Vinny?

This is outrageous.

The only way to even make sense of this garbage is to opt for "dipshit" hypothesis, but I am so angry, so very angry to even type this hypothesis out right now. ARGH!

Holy shit, this is amazing. Signed

I thought they were going to make Dave a romanceable character. Instead he was just retconned out entirely. Signed.

EXACTLY. That six month old bottle of malt goodness deserves to be consumed--preferably by Brad.

Birdo deserved better.

I didn't watch it yet, but according to the Internet, I am PISSED OFF! CHANGE IT AND YOU BETTER NOT CHARGE ME FOR THAT NEW DLC TNT ENDING.

Signed it. Extremely disappointed in the ending.

There's no Waluigi so it can't possibly be MY TNT

Can't wait for these threads to show up after everything, running this shit straight into the ground

The horrific ending of tonight's TNT would not have happened if Giant Bomb wasn't bought out by CBSi.

Just sayin'.

See what kind of people you've created, complainers?

For shame!

The worst part is that they didn't respond to the fan outcry. As I watched the ending, I saw a ton of people asking them to "play another round" or "look at what else was on the Wii" or "check out the Wii Shop and do an impromptu episode of NDX" but none of those choices were respected. Video games coverage should be a malleable form of journalism. Why does journalism always have to be about artistic integrity or facts? I WANT MY CHOICES AND OPINIONS REFLECTED.

I would have signed your petition, but I took an arrow in the kn... sorry, what? What's that? Oh, we stopped doing that one? A long time ago, you say. Hmmm. Welp, I'm off to the pub.

Whoever signed Kid Rock from Authenticity Michigan..... you win this round sir, well done.

Cause it's Dean, also this was actually my reaction

I think someone might be thinking about filing a suit with the better business bureau because of this.

Is anyone else having problems importing their version of Jeff Gertsmann in their video? I heard there were people having problems if they didn't make any changes to their Jeff from GameSpot to Giant Bomb, so I'm only able to watch the default version of Jeff. And dammit, that's not my version of Jeff! I didn't go though all of Gamespot and Giant Bomb just so I could use the default Jeff.

They got the year wrong in the title, it is painful to see such flagrant disregard for their own continuity. The ending was clearly rushed!

I was signature 98. I hope they address our demands.

(Edit: The ending of this TNT was actually fucking fantastic. What was that song?)

Whoever signed as Saucepan Man and Thor Odinson, you sirs have won. Thank you and good night.

/signed, I won't stand for this kind of treatment. And when I imported Alexis his hair was all fucked up! GOD DAY, SIR!

I filed a complaint with the FTC and the BBB.

Flip a car in the street. That'll solve this bitch!

I approve

They CLEARLY sacrificed content for graphics by showing transitions instead of the actual game. This is outrageous !

@Dany said:

Yeah, this TNT was inexcusable. Brad was pretty funny, won many of the minigames, and hardly died at all. Clearly they have shown no respect for established Giant Bomb canon.

/signed

According to Patrick's twitter only him and Alex were involved in plotting out the ending?! This wouldn't have happened if Jeff and Ryan had been allowed to stay on but no! CBSi rerouted them to Lincoln F.O.R.C.E.

Hated it. All the different people where just the same people but coloured differently, especially that Alexis fellow...

Signed.
