Thursday Night Throwdown: 02/02/12

Drenched!!!!

Dron Drigade...

Trenched was one of my most favorite downloadable games. Can't wait to check out the new content.

What a bunch of pussies, bowing down to the pinkos. You should of kept the name

murder sling shot

Oh my gosh, so much fun. It's always a good time when Double Fine comes over, and when Brad Muir gets on his tangents, it's just amazing.

A great TNT was made even better by all of the Happy Action Theater interaction. That somehow makes everything better.

Two weeks of back to back fantastic TNT's. Love it.

One of the best TNTs. Also, I love this game!

FFFUUUUUUU, release Iron Brigade on Steam, damn you!

So glad to hear that there is going to be a PC version eventually :D.

You can tell by the way Ryan talks about his girlfriend that she is a keeper! Put a ring on it, son!

So is Iron Brigade eligible for GOTY awards this year?

I'd imagine it would be for 2012's 2011 GOTY. Not sure it'll make the cut though.

The discussion in this one was amazing and had a much more personal touch than I expect from a developer even on GB and even if Double Fine is involved. I had so much fun watching it live. Oh also, if and when Iron Brigade hits the PC I'm pretty sure I'll immediately buy it.

I didn't realize that Ryan has a twin brother.

That PC version sure is a good idea :P

Towards the end I saw them scroll to my name but then right past it :( I've only ever been in one TNT and the game I got into disconnected so I never even got to play.

Space bears are really dangerous, I learned this many years ago in Mech Warrior:

Fuck I love Brad, and fuck I want Iron Brigade on Steam.

I love any TNT or Ql with Brad Muir that guys is great took so many questions and so many awkward answers

God...Damnit...BRAD MUIR, SO GREAT. But it might be awhile till he's back. I am so stoked that double fine seems to be doing so well. You could see their awesome personalities come through in their first games but now that I see guys from DF come in to giantbomb all the time, even better. Great TNT and discussions.

I had so much fun playing with Greg Rice and Phil Fish, and the third guy whoever you are. My second TNT (I was the guy in Banjo Kazooie flying around in the monster... and I won a king of the hill).

Props to Brad for giving me a shout out at the beginning. Totally carried Greg through that :p

With how self-conscious GB and DF are, was surprised no one talked about Jeff and Ryan being clones. :P

Love it.

I'm actually playing Orcs Must Die on PC just cause I can't play Iron Brigade on my platform of choice. Step it up Brad!!

i swear the name of this video should be changed to double salutin with double fine

I want to hang out with Brad Muir. He seems perpetually excited.

Ms. Pac-man QL coming up next?

Giantbomb should buy Double Fine just so that Brad Muir is around more.

True

Brad Muir always seems so excited to be on Giant Bomb

AMAZING TNT! Brad is awesome!

"Here Ryan Davis, put this in your mouth." -Brad Muir, February 2, 2012

I'm swedish but between Norman Chan thinking Lego is swedish and Ryan Davis thinking Angry Birds is swedish, I'm kind of pissed, give us props when props are due. Angry Birds is fucking Finnish.

2 hours of Brad Miur ? F*** YEAH !!!

That was a great TNT. Really funny, but with really interesting discussions as well. Awesome job guys !

Great TNT, so is this definitely coming to pc? They laughed nervously and danced around the question, was that a yes but we aren't ready to announce it yet?

Is it just the video or does this game have framerate problems?

Clearly Double Fine needs to work with Giantbomb on making Lincoln Force a reality

You guys need more Brad Muir on this site!

Brad Muir and John Drake on the cast at the same time. Could the GB handle that? Going to say "No".

Someone make a .gif of the High Five Firework!

@NocturnusFatalis: I can't speak for the game itself, but I know that they were occasionally experiencing connection issues. Also, I dunno if this applies to you or not, but I've noticed that the HTML5 player can be somewhat of a resource hog. Usually it's not a problem in Chrome on my decently powerful desktop, but on this 5+ year old laptop I'm using right now the video often chugs and stutters.

Brad Muir is such a cool dude, wish I had more friends like him.

God damn, I love it when the Double Fine crew visits.

brad muir's voice reminds me of nick swardson

We need more iron brigade TNT to get brad back. Would also like it to start a bit later so I could get in on that trench action as work currently makes that impossible.

Am I the only one getting tired of Ryan talking about his girlfriend?

Yes.

Vinny talks about his wife all the time, Patrick talks about Kate the Shark on the regular, and Brad brings up his Chinese girlfriend occasionally. Part of the appeal of the site is that these guys are real people talking about games in their real life, and their wives/girlfriends are a big part of that.

this

Brad Muir's from Michigan! Awesome.

The dude on the left in green laughs just like Lemon!

god damnit, double fine needs to make a multiplatform game again soon. im going through withdrawal. unless MS buys them, then its cool....i guess....please make one that comes out on PS3 too again :(

Man, I hate it when developers are invited on these things, they're always so stiff and awkward and... oh no wait, these guys are an absolute pleasure. What a seriously great TNT. I know Brad Muir coming back is almost inevitable but I hope Greg Rice and Geoff Soulis come with him, they make a good team.

if you don't like brad muir, i hate you.
