This craziness, combined with a completely nuts Super Series and Forza Race Night event shortly afterwards, has given me the biggest freakin' headache.

Worth it. Totally worth it.

Also: Nice try putting a hit on me, Dave!

I'm impressed that they can encode a video and have it upload automatically, I am unimpressed it takes 7 hours to do that to an hour and half video.

Maybe they set it to be up at a certain time?

I said it during the chat and I'll say it again, Vinny saved this god damn TNT. This is how it went for me:

Avril Lavigne: Fuck you guys I'm ruining this TNT!

Vinny: No!! Fuck you! I got this.

@runcrash: Well there are at least 4 separate video files that have to be made. One for each quality setting. I don't know if HTML/Streaming/Progressive all need different file types too or not, but it definitely isn't just one video file that needs to be made before it goes up on the site.

Hollaback Girl was also one of those annoying(great) songs that seemed to pervade every game. Almost destroyed Lumines.

This sucks... I can't watch this because of that damn fucking song. Aaaghh.. I hate it. I hate the melody, I hate the voices, I hate the lyrics (if they can be called that) I just simply find the song offensive >:( (and I'm not usually picky about music, just that damn fucking song).. ugh.. one of the things I didn't like the Paradise was that damn fucking song. Oh well.. there is Dwarf Fortress on, so that will fill my thirst :)

I just listened to Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I just started playing Paradise this week for the first time in years so it's funny that it was the TNT for this week.

Try watching near the end when Vinny gets sick of it and starts messing with the music.

God damn I love that song. This is my favorite TNT because of it.

Also, Patrick actually reading stuff from the chat was awesome. You guys need to get yourself interns.
