Thursday Night Throwdown: 06/28/12

Jeff is a bad person for forcing that soundtrack on us.

After 120 hours, it's a shame Jeff had to suck so hard. The island has the sickest, meanest jumps, yet he chose to ride around in the gutter the whole time, only hitting one of them, 10 minutes after everybody else.

Vinny you are the goddamn best

Heard the TNT theme music on a local car commercial. Made me think of how great a car commercial created by GB would be.

Oh Vincent.

The first thing I did in Burnout Paradise was take that song out of rotation. Problem solved!

And after an hour and a half it sucks that you have to be such a bitch.

I'm still tripping balls over the Control Room Chopped and Screwed Remix. Oh God... all the colors....

Jeff wouldn't be wearing that T-shirt if he knew how much of an obnoxious, desperate Z-list celebrity Maggot is over here.

Oh God, it's Avril. I went to the gym once while her song "Hot" was stuck on repeat. FOR AN HOUR. Oh it was awful.

When I was training for a marathon a few years back, my brother was playing this game. "Girlfriend" got so stuck in my head and it ended up being a really good pace song for me. I ended up running the whole damn race with this one song. Christ, I love that song.

Ha ! Ha ! I guess so, although I don't think I actually watched much more than 10 minutes of it.

I watched this live yesterday and I ended up not sleeping. Thanks @Vinny for the remix.

I'm the maggot, the maggot , that's who I am, Don't ever trust me, always doing a scam.

I just spent 2 weeks in Vegas and I disagree with the 48 hour rule.

I had a great time. I only spent about $5 in the gamble hole so I didn't get burnt there.

The vegas-burnout they talked about on the podcast just happens whenever you're about to leave. Everything started to look really seedy and gross on the last night.

Also I don't really drink or gamble and I was busy for the whole 2 weeks. We still didn't do everything we wanted to.

I could watch people piss about in Burnout all day long. It's almost hypnotic.

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

Are you sure about that? He did just subject everyone to Avril.

Thankfully, Vinny was there to save the day.

I can't get enough Burnout Paradise, and I can't get enough of Vinny getting bored and monkeying with the TriCaster.

Hey hey, you you.

Burnout Paradise is sooooooo gooooood!

It was really good, you should at least see the last ten minutes to see where subscriber dollars go.

HEY HEY YOU YOU!!!!

Vinny is my Hero

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.

I don't know what their workflow is, but they might have to make low medium and high quality encodes for html 5, flash, then maybe another version for youtube, a mobile downloadable version. 7 hours seems very reasonable.

Wish TNT went a little bit longer so we could hear the best version:

Totally knew about this before it was cool.

Anyone posted a link to chopped Girlfriend mp3 yet?

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

I had so much god damn fun during this TNT. Glad I could add to the fun with my XBL Vision cam.

After hearing that song for an hour and a half, I am absolutely convinced that Patrick's plan to summon the Old Ones by chanting "Girlfriend" in slow motion would work.

I don't understand why "Girlfriend" was the only song playing the whole time. Is that the only song on the playlist? Is the game broken?

I played and beat Dark Souls. Listening to "Girlfriend" on loop ain't shit. You can't break me, GiantBomb. I'm going to enjoy the TNT anyway.

Yes, you have to have Kinect connected (*sigh*) to get to the Kinect Central hub to download Haunt for free.

O god, that song. It burns.

This is Giantbomb. Of course they set it to loop on purpose.

If you don't understand that, then you don't understand Giant Bomb.

Dwarf Fortress is constantly changing, so having a textbook about it is really, really dumb.

Did I just. . . Did I just accidentally listen to "Girlfriend" for an hour and a half?

Also agreed, bikes were fine in GTA IV.

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

Amazon had the ultimate edition on sale a few weeks back so of course I got it. Still a good game.

ugh. they never play ps3.

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

No, it's just the only song that matters.

Well that was fun but also simultaneously a nightmare.

Avril...you cannot be my girlfriend. Take your business elsewhere

This was one of the best TNT's ever.

Patrick that shirt is fucking awesome.

I stopped watching after about 30 mins cause of Girlfriend, and I'm sad I missed the last 20 minutes of it live.
