They should have Rorie drop in on a podcast sometime.

They should offer Rorie a job. I really enjoyed his insight on Dark Souls. :)

God damn it, when I saw his tweet about being with TNT I totally thought that is what it would be. He totally makes sense, he is a phenom of a writer and on screen guy and the community already is familiar with him.

Set timeshift to -2150 ms. It seems to fix audiosynce, for me at least.

nothing like matthew rorie to make me know that i'm not alone in staying up till the early morning playing video games and sleeping till 5 because i have no job. makes me feel good that i'm not the only one!

Man, first Will Smith on the lantern run, now Matt Rorie here, they need to do like a whiskey media reunion event sometime after E3.

Thursday Night Rorie.

Get Rorie on the Bombcast!

Rorie's timing was a little off. He should have shown up a minute sooner to see the name of the server they were on.

Ryan talking shit about Brad's playstyle in Diablo was amusing to me for some reason.

Something relaxing about Trackmania in the background while Jeff and Ryan just shoot the shit for two hours. The Smurf part was definiely one of my favorite moments.

Hope there is conversation about Shootmania, i don't listen to the podcast.

I love watching Trackmania being played and listening to the guys talking.

Watching this does make me wonder why Jeff is the only one openly passionate about certain games. It's kinda comforting to see someone this into something for an extended period of time.

Happy to get in and play with you guys on the mixed bag of servers they tried out. Sorry the CBSi internet was all messed up, the stream was crazy and Jeff kept getting booted from his own server, but the rest of us were just fine.

I feel for Ryan though, not sure TM2 is much of a spectator sport :)

For all those calling for Matt Rorie to be picked up by Giant Bomb, if you look at the in game chat, Geoff Jerstmann from Game Bomb RU said he would totally hire him. Seems legit.

This seems to work for me as well (I was using Media Player Classic)

Sound seems to have gone pretty out of sync on the Smurf track. :/

Edit: Just did a -2.000 hastening for the audio, seems fine now.

yawn. Why not max payne 3?

I found 1900 to be the sweet spot, but somewhere around those two numbers is good enough.

Go away, troll. You're not being forced to watch this.

Disturbed in Trackmania can go suck a long fat one. Thanks, Jeff!

I miss Rorie...

casually racist Ryan Davis

MATT RORIE!

I'm glad to see that Jeff and Ryan react sensibly to Disturbed.

MATT RORIE!

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna buy Trackmania one of these days. It'll be heinous on my "just one more" problem though. I know it. Also, Jimmy Eat World rocks especially that song; Bleed American.

Ryan's reaction to the Smurf track intro at: 20:10 was hilarious; he was completely derailed.

@Rorie SO glad to hear you! Hope you will land somewhere soon.

Matthew Rorie! I've missed him so much! Rehire him at giantbomb, please =D

They played TM2 again? FUCK I MISSED IT

The Matt Rorie appearance really saved this weeks TNT.

WEIRD - when the Shootmania trailer came out, I thought: "Hmmm, Trackmania TNT again sure would be fun to watch this week!" GET OUT OF MY HEAD JEFF!

SWATCH TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

Technical difficulties aside, this still was a pleasure to watch. Seeing another Matt Rorie appearance on GB just topped the show off nicely! All around good fun for sure. Hope E3 goes well for you even with the troubles of the still recent change. I'm optimistic that you'll pull through since so far you always seem to strive under chaotic and insane circumstances.

Damn, man. I left right as Matt Rorie showed up. I'm glad these are archived.

this situation we're in right now, where there's no music at all, is completely untenable.

Goddamn spoilers in these comments! Rorie is like a HUGE twist.

There have been a good few TNTs with sound sync issues, seemingly since you guys moved, hopefully that's something that'll get straightened out? Also, yay Rorie!

Glad you said something, I was thinking there was something off.

Dammit, I missed a TM TNT? Stupid "work"

Best TNT in ages. Just like the good ole days.

MATT FUCKING RORIE

MATT RORIE!

Why the fuck would they not get Rorie to come work with them at Giant Bomb?

• He's a great writer.
• He has great character.
• He has great chemistry with the rest of the staff.
• He's loved by the community.
• Ryan/Rorie Quicklooks!
• Puppies!

this is my first premium video. perfect.

VLC audio sync -1.8.

Someone please make something better... this is my meager attempt.

Why are they packing for E3 when they have a whole week before it starts?

Also, this swatch internet time joke has been going for like 5 years lol.

I believe you meant to say 1825000 beats. Not that antiquated years.

As a 1/35th native person I am deeply offended by Ryan's use of the derogatory term "Indian giver", and expect a formal apology.
