Am I hallucinating? Or is there an extremely high-pitched noise in this video?

I can't watch this because of a sinister noise in the background killing my ears.

Can't buy the game yet because I'm in Europe, but at least I get to enjoy this.

Loved this TNT, it was so good, and yeah the ringing does stop a few minutes in.

@xtiara: That was asked on the TNT, Brad said it wi be released on PSN when Microsoft starts publishing games on the PSN.

This should have been called TNT:Unleashed, it was so fucking crazy.

Mad props to Vinny for giving me an aneurysm.

@xtiara: Unfortunately no, since they were published by Microsoft, possibly PC release though.

Man alive, when Tim showed up, this show got difficult to listen to for long stretches of time. Like ten people talking all at once - some on the couch, some with Jeff. It was mental.

Other than that quibble, it was a great TNT. Brad Muir is quickly becoming a community favourite.

Jeff's beard is getting crazy and I like it

also man that noise is annoying. can't blame the guys too much though, it seems like it's right on the edge of my hearing, and since they're a few years older they might not even notice that it's there.

Wow. They can put out literally anything and get praise.
 
Anyway, Double Fine could cut half of this out and use it as a credit sequence. "Here's this guy's name, and this guy's, and here's what this guy worked on..."

I don't know what it is, but I'm getting such an American McGee's Alice feel to this game.

This game must come to PC. Otherwise, I will write a very angry forum post... and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

It's so great that the GB guys keep on hammering DoubleFine to make an FMV game every chance they get. It even seems like it might be working.

Glad I got to be a part of this. 
 
@sammo21: It is 4pm Pacific and 7 Eastern. The times on the front page are always in your time zone now so they don't confuse people or make them do math.

There is nothing more fun than just laying in bed, watching TNT on the 360. Also, sadly I got bored of the game after the hours, but hey, it wasn't for me in the first place.
