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

It seems like the defenders in Chivalry get the short end of the stick. Do they just leave the objectives up until the defenders lose?

I enjoy Jeff hosting these so much more than Ryan. I always feel a slightly negative vibe from Ryan, like just underneath the surface he's thinking about stabbing someone (for realz). He's often so humorless, like last week when he got so obviously pissed during Jeff's Space Jam reading.

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

To be fair, the games nature just lends itself to forgetting what team you are on. Action is so heavy and "in your face", especially when you are hurt heavily and surrounded by lots of other players (There is also no UI element telling you what team you are on without going to the scoreboard). Happened to me quite a few times that, in the midst of a killing spree, i just smashed in the head of an teammate because his head just happened to be in such a nice place for an overhead attack with my maul xD

Too bad people can be real dicks about stuff like that.. sometimes people will just go nuts and start harassing you the whole round after you TK'ed them by accident and apologized.

@McGhee: Maybe, but to be fair, I'm hoping the Space Jam book doesn't come back, myself. :P

Chivalry keeps delivering the goods on TNT. It'd be a nightmare to get video of, but I'd love to see the guys fighting each other in a LAN party kind of setup. I'm sure it would be hilarious.

Now that I think about it, if I've learned anything from the New Super Mario Bros. quick look, it's that I'd love to see the guys playing together more in addition to just taking turns playing.

I bought Chivalry after watching this. I feel suckered; its not a very good game.

It's a little buggy at times (and I think all modes other than the objective mode are kinda bad), but the game is pretty much just like what you saw on this TNT, so I'm not sure how you could've been misled about what you were getting into.

@pinner458: The beard really balances his appearance, I think.
