I have the same shirt but for the New York Giants.

They have one for (I think) every team here.

They're missing so many teams. :(

Though some team's logos would probably look terrible in that style.

They explain it in the TNT, when server/licensing stuff was shaken up that was the only song that they didn't need to renew. Also I echo the sentiment that bikes were not what Patrick claims in GTAIV. In fact they were my favorite way of getting around because I felt it was the easiest way to travel while having access to a radio.

I'm usually good at identifying stuff but I have absolutely no idea which version of the song starts playing at 1:09:53. Does anyone know?

Bikes in GTA:IV felt great, dunno wtf Patrick is talking about.

I'd agree, but also say I love bikes in Burnout Paradise. Opinions I guess!

Also agreed, bikes were fine in GTA IV.

So great that Rockstar felt the need to completely overhaul them in Lost and Damned.

Improved handling and less of a chance to fall off isn't exactly a "complete overhaul".

It was a complete overhaul. Everything about the "unique" way bikes controlled in GTA IV was scrapped in Lost and Damned. They basically put on training wheels to prevent frustration in the motorcycle-centric expansion.

One of the few TNTs I downloaded for posterity. Incredible.

1) Bikes in any GTA game have always been more interesting to me. The risk/reward of going faster but being more fragile makes getting around the city more fun.

2) I bought Burnout: Paradise on Games on Demand last month and all the songs are available. The staff was screwing with everyone by making a custom playlist and only putting "Girlfriend" on it.

Horrible things start happening at a point in this video. Things I was completely unprepared for. I think I feel sick.

OH Vinny you are such a great human being I love everything you do. Amazing TNT!

by the way here is the footage of the air planes for Burnout Paradise they were talking about!

Things are starting to feel like good ol' Giant Bomb again. :)

Of all the nights for me to be working. Wish I could have taken part in this kick ass TNT.

Oh goddamnit I just found a bone fragment in my sausage. D: Not cool Country Morning brand meat products! Not cool! :d

Vinny is the goddamn man.

At 1:15:00, the pressure of Girlfriend broke me.

just made Vinny's chopped and screwed version my ringtone and received extremely disturbed looks in line at the movie theater. You just guaranteed a renewal premium membership Vinny !!

You fucking asshole.

haha.

As much as I love Brad, Jeff and Ryan, man Vinny and Drew give this site the GB flavor.

Oh and has anyone else noticed less on air drinking from the dudes during this?

Magical.

completely awesome TNT. Except that it really got dangerously funny towards the end. That was some old school Giant Bomb magic right there!

I couldn't get more than 30 minutes in because of the fucking horrible Avril song.

Laughed so hard I couldn't chew my food... Burnout P:TNT, wooo!

This was my first PREMIUM CONTENT video and... I have no idea what just happened but I need more!!1!

You should probably check out their Phantasmagoria long look if you want to be truly stumped.

Good god man!! Don't that i've ever listened to one song for 90mins over and over and over....

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

OHHH GOD!......Now I need to play more Burnout!

oh god I hate that fucking song so much, if this shit is on purpose, bravo giantbomb crew for trolling me hard xd

edit after watching: ugh, listening to that song for so long has made me actually feel physically ill.

Really enjoyed that spiritual slowed down Girlfriend trance at the end. Chillllll

"Hey Vinny how's the tricaster?"

"WOOOOOO!"

This is so awesome haha.

DJ Vinny C bringin the hits Chopped & Screwed

for some reason i want a bat girlfriend now?

For some reason i just watched most of this at 7:00am monday morning. I was just staring, training my eyes to see things for the day, and then that audio/video sequence rolled in at 1:09.

Balanced on the Needle between WTF and Brilliance. And I didn't even have to ingest anything........

Edit-Looking at the comments now, this was not unique.....

You just don't have any appreciation for the truly finer things in life.

wait the o'reilly book for Dwarf Fortress isn't an animalbook? sounds like some bullshit.

Eww.

Jesus that slowed down Avril is fucking insane.

HEY HEY! YOU YOU! I don't like your new gods!

NO WAY! NO WAY! I think you need an OLD ONE

Shit like this why I pay.

I really don't care for your girlfriend, sir.

You know what? I DO like your girlfriend. So there.

(P.S. Insanity such as this is why I have a premium membership through the end of 2013.)
