Thursday Night Throwdown

Thursday Night Throwdown: 01/31/13

When shoguns and knights collide, somebody's bound to lose an eye. At the VERY least.

It's Thursday night and it's time for you to go up against us in a weekly throwdown of decidedly humble proportions.

Jan. 31 2013

Cast: Jeff, Drew, Patrick

TNT with just one comment? I must be pretty early! Wait, now it's two. Or three, if you want to look at it like that...or four! Or...eh, screw it.

Sigh, so pissed I missed this tonight. I totally wanted to play some Chivalry with you guys. Such a great "indie" hack n shasher. The new content update (I don't know if you guys were playing the beta, I doubt it though since 2 servers are up for it normally) is great with the new maps and modes etc. :)

Chivalry is a great game to watch someone play, especially when that someone keeps forgetting which team he's on.

I own a Windows Phone 8 (HTC 8x) and fuck it, I hate it so much. The OS is pretty dull and the I'm starting to hate phones with buttons on the screen (home, back, search).

Also, Patrick's hair looks much weirder when its cut short like that. He needs to be a man, cowboy the fuck up, and let that shit stay GROWED

it looks like the assassin's creed logo. doesn't it? doesn't it?

also, i thought the description for this said "shotguns and knights collide." that would be much cooler

I've played in a few TNTs but this was the most fun I've had so far, playing Chivalry is just a lot of dumb fun with a pretty good game built around it, got my fair share of time on screen tonight even. Couple of the things I did: I was the guy that killed him with the throwing axe right after they switched games, I managed to kick Drew off the log bridge from behind, and I was the guy right toward the end that put the hammer up in the air as he was in a fistfight. If there was someone on the other team running around smashing things with the big hammer good chance it was me. Hell of a lot of fun.

"Once you've had an iPhone for longer than a month, you'll grow tired of it." I think you can say this about pretty much everything neat about iPhones.

Come play on the server any time. Join the PC Gaming Hub Steam group. We play Chivalry pretty much every day anyway.

The whole Bay area is like ground Zero right now. Almost everyone I know is sick/recovering.

Not really, there are some pretty neat features that you don't get tired of. Also lets remember that Jeff is weird - I have no idea what he's talking about regarding the icons changing. It happens very rarely and I honestly don't mind and find it neat to a lesser degree.

Yeah I probably phrased that wrong. I think the things that you'll say, "wow neat!" about get old quickly, but the subtle user experience things are always kinda nice.

I'm actually surprised Brad found icons changing neat as he had a Windows Phone where the tile would change on a regular basis.
