Thursday Night Throwdown 07/22: ModNation Racers

Join us for some PS3 kart-racing fun in this week's edition of Giant Bomb's community game night!

By Ryan Davis  |  July 22, 2010

With ModNation Racers having been out on the PlayStation 3 for just shy of two months--plenty of time for the MRC community to cook up a wide variety of truly ridiculous user-created content--we figured what better time to build an episode of Thursday Night Throwdown around this PS3-exclusive kart racer than, say... RIGHT NOW! 
 
That's right! Starting at 4PM Pacific Daylight Time we'll be playing ModNation Racers, here, live! If you want in on the action, send a friend request to GBTNT on the PlayStation 3, and we'll do what we can to squeeze you in. Otherwise, sit back, relax, enjoy the live video stream of the action in the window below, and if you want to engage other TNT spectators or ask us questions, head over to Justin.tv to join the chat room! 
 
UPDATE: Thanks everyone who played with us tonight! If you missed it, you can catch the archived version below.

Awesome, it sucks I can't watch this one live or participate due to working goddamned night shifts. Want to see what sort of craziness people come up with.

Oh right, this must be the first "console exclusive game" TNT (aside from TF2). 
 
[EDIT] Scratch that, forgot about Halo Reach.

Hopefully the audio will be better in this one.

Glad to see Giant Bomb has swapped over to a better site. To bad my connection speed today has been terrible so I most likely wont be able to watch this.

@FluxWaveZ: Just to make sure that you know this, but Halo: Reach was on the first week of TNT.  You know, just so you know.

Hmm, wonder if they will do any call backs to previous games.

Skate 3 was also Xbox only to begin with.
