Watching this TNT reminded me I don't like Crysis 2. Still fun to see people die faster than they can ever react.

The PC multiplayer demo was such a muddy sloggy mess to control with a mouse that I've lost all interest.
 
Nice that Jeff's digging it though.

Stupid office gremlins bringing you thursday night slowdown. Hopefully the office gremlins are banished after this in time for the new MK game on TNT without problems.

This is great, the embedded versions seem to buffer much better than going to justin.tv.

very true. I'm starting to stay with TNT for the other commentary, watching someone run around and shoot/get shot for very long, welllll...........But I keep coming back to listen, and admittedly it almost came off as a mini podcast in info and views.

Their whole tangent saved this TNT for me. FPS games for TNT is only tolerable for the first match in, then it just gets dull faster than anything. Only FPS TNT I vividly enjoyed from start to finish was probably Bad Company 2. Their fucking helicopter moments? Glorious.

The chat was ready to start a war over some of the comments during that tangent, which made this TNT one of my top 5. GB is at its best when it's really insightful or totally absurd.

I watched this video on my 360 at night with my headphones on while trying to sleep and it almost gave me a heart attack... I dosed off and got up exactly when the first crazy gray screen came up, that caused me to yelped like a sexy woman lol. I think I watch to many cheesy horror movies. :p

Sometimes while watching these videos, particularly longer ones, they just stop dead and drop you to the "watch it again?" screen?  Using HD, Streaming feed.  What's up with that? :(

That's the whole reason these are worth archiving and watching. The TNTs where they just focus on playing games are the least interesting ones.

Thanks to everyone on Bomb Crew for this.  The discussion that the guys had with Gary and Will was great to hear. I enjoy hearing these kind of discussions.

Then how about not watching any crysis stuff. Sounds like you have too much time on your hands if you're willing to put yourself to sleep by watching a bunch of crysis related stuff.

That happens to me too sometimes, not really sure what it is. Using Chrome if that matters.

Far Cry Instincts is 100x more fun than Crysis 2 could ever hope to be. Also Crysis 2 is Crysis' Far Cry Instincts. Except without the awesome multiplayer map creator. So deal with that.
