A-Ok.

Vinny, adding a little magic to every TNT.

That was quick.

Quick delivery. Thanks boys.

TNT!

Two TNT's in one and Vinny on the tricaster, perfect!

Why does HD Progressive never work?!

First TNT ever being in the game playing. It was fun, except I've never played CTF before. More of a TM kind of guy.

Oh right, it's Thursday. Sure, I'll stay up a while longer...

@juicyb: Because HD can't effectively be streamed over a 7/8 time signature.

:) drunk jeff?

Is this a spiritual successor to Unreal Tourny or something? I'm not familiar with the Tribes games.

So many Jeffs!

Dat fast upload

Super Duper

I want to ascend! Take me!

The other way around. Tribes 1 came out a year before UT.

Ryan needs a haircut. There, I said it.

LON DONG OLD, YO.

Oh, Chris Watters; so lovably awkward. Whenever he joins in, it's like watching the game nerd equivalent of the dorky kid trying to mingle in with the cool crowd.

Yup, that thumbnail is perfect. Vinny keeps getting crazier and crazier with his filters and shit on TNT, now I'm kind of looking forward to next week. How are you going to top yourself here, Caravella!?

theory and practice, the giantbomb music school.

What modes are locked behind microtransactions? I've been playing since beta, and haven't seen that, at all.

Thank you, Based-god.

Ryan's face!

Betabetical on Tribes: Ascend! It was awesome playing on the stream! - even with shitty play on my part.

ryan killed me and it was awesome.

Yep, that tricaster totally "broke." Nice!

As expected, they didn't even play Tribes for the whole TNT. Again.

goddamn ryan cant play tribes for shit ... learn to ski / aim / ctf :(

@ajamafalous: would you want a whole tnt of that shit ?

@Yummylee: yes and a niche video game website is the "cool crowd"

@OllyOxenFree: oops replied to you by mistake :p i agree with you

I did not get that vibe from him on this video. I thought he was fine to fill a spot.

His introduction was sloppy as he came in mimicking Ryan's weird pronunciation mannerisms. He meshed in surprisingly well as it went on, though, much more so than his previous guest appearances.

Indeed.

Hey Vinny, let me just say that I've found the last few TNTs to be some of the best video content on this site, in its entire history. Amazing job, good sir. Keep it up!

SHAZBOT....

Little too much Tribes...which is incredibly boring to watch.

I feel like this TNT would have been far better if they just played Persona. Because seriously. Watching Ryan ski from one place to another and miss all his shots isn't great tv.

Thoroughly entertaining TNT. I like seeing Gamespot guys, even though I tend to have no idea what they are most of the time.

So I'm sitting here watching this TNT and I can not give a single fuck about Tribes: Ascend. Now I put hundreds maybe even 1,000+ hours into Starsiege: Tribes back in high school. What the hell happened to me?

Was Jeff playing P4A while Ryan played Tribes??

@ArbitraryWater: Because he basically holds the W button, walks towards enemies and never leads his shots?

2 TNTs with Ryan playing = doing something else with TNT playing in background.

HOLY SHIT. THAT SCREENSHOT GOT ME INTERESTED AS FUCK.

Man, I wanted to watch Persona. I was unaware they were going to play or I'd join in.

THIS IS CHAT.
