Thursday Night Throwdown: 07/12/12

Awesome, I look forward to watching this.

A great TNT!

three!

Glad I decided to refresh page. Just as I get off work I can catch up on this TNT.

Three!

Missed the Second half, great this went up fast.

Was doing an RP session with some buddies, so I missed this. And yet I knew they'd do Tetris Battle Gaiden at some point.

Hope they post the rest of the stuff, I was working and couldn't watch.

Interesting to see it being uploaded like this rather than in one giant part. Given that this is only available to Premium members anyway (the archive here) it wouldn't matter either way.
 
Anyway, hopefully the other half gets uploaded soon.

Are they going to post the first half I was at work and missed the whole thing and would love to start from the beginning

THREE!

Aw yeeh, love me some sneses!

looking for the other half as well!

TETRIS BAAAAAAAAATLE

Tetris up in this!!

I fucking love Tetris to begin with but this version makes it just so much fun to watch. I agree that some super nserious or even cheeky "pro gaming" style commentary could be a lot of fun.

Watching Brad play Tetris is hilarious. All those stacks, then Jeff uses all his magic and it's all fucked.

Jesus, Tetris Battle Gaiden is a fucking bloodsport.

We should totally find a way to play this online and do commentary over it. It will be the Starcraft of Giant Bomb!

Good thing I didn't watch this live cause the Tetris part was a bit too long and got boring after a while.

I really enjoyed the crazy powers fucking up shit.

Just seeing Vinny nail all those 3 pointers was hilarious for some reason.

Brad is a savant of Battle Tetris

A true student of the game.

Do you guys own a copy of Tetris Attack? You need to play that shit the next time you do this. Such a great SNES game.

Love this retro game stuff!

@Jeff I wouldn't mind watching you guys playing your favorite classic single player games as well. I wished you recorded your private Mega Man session, for example. What happened to the hall of fame feature you spoke about some months ago, by the way? (well, I can imagine you guys were pretty busy with the move of your site and everything but I'm sure this community would love to see that happening at some point ;)

It got hype as hell!

@Vinny

V8 is not 0 calorie :P

I would watch a EVO Tetris Battle Gaiden stream.

Vinny is pretty good at basketball, you guys.

haha watching Vinny gleefully kick Jeff's ass at basketball was maybe the best thing I've seen all week.

My favorite part is when Brad realizes why it didn't look like he used his magic, then is completely baffled when it happens again literally five seconds later.

Never play Vinny in a Live 95 cash game...

I want to see the other half of this.

Three!

IANVOD*, but my guess is that the streams got captured to separate files, and it would have taken a long time to edit them together and render out a single giant file, for no real benefit.

*i am not vinny or drew

Vinny Caravella, making it rain!

Tetris Battle Gaiden continues to be amazing.

This shit was hella spies.

People from Seattle probably got REALLY pissed when Jeff picked the supersonics.

How did Vinny kill at both basketball games?

NBA Live 95 is the best basketball game ever.

It's a file size thing. With our current setup we can't upload anything over 2.5 hours, though that may change in the near future.

Half the fun of you guys playing Tetris Battle Gaiden is the slow mental degeneration of the players. Also, that game is just fucked!

@Spatulalad: Three!

oh god in nba live 95 i knew each and every sonic by what number they were, also i miss the sonics
