BORING AGAIN: These really need to be re-titled 'quick look part 2: game X', as all that happens on TNT lately is one GB member games while 1 or 2 others ask questions and act none too interested or entertaining. I don't give a crap how the game plays, when it came out, tactics, etc during TNT. I want the whole GB team owning each other and us GB members. At the very least, bring back CAH. TNT is the reason I have a subscription, and lately that reason is lacking.

I feel the same way. It rarely seems to be a local multiplayer session anymore, but rather one guy playing online while everyone else sits around semi-bored.

It's what the TNT used to be until like a year ago.

SHOULDA GONE FAST

No more CAH. That game had clearly lost its flavour by the second time they played it with all the forced laughter.

Somebody please keep these lame Gamespot dweebs out of my Giant Bomb. Thanks.

Enemy has Ryan's flag and is jetpacking up super high, while Ryan pathetically takes long-range spinfusor shots that have no fucking chance of ever hitting.

Look, Ryan, I know you're not great at competitive multiplayer, but at least try to learn your limits: the odds of you, Ryan Davis, hitting a guy ABOVE YOU with your spinfusor is about one in a trillion. Especially when he is so much better with the jetpack that you're like 500+ metres away from him at all times. Just try to be useful and go attack the enemy generator or something.

@BisonHero: Why don't you message him your advice directly instead of leaving it on an old video he'll never watch?

Because c'mon, from what I can tell on the podcast and other discussions, Ryan almost never continuously plays competitive multiplayer games of any sort in his free time. Not Starcraft 2, not TrackMania, not anything. Vinny is the same way. In Ryan's case, though he rarely admits it on air, at times he is kind of bad at games and he has admitted that he gets lost easily, and I can understand why he'd find online multiplayer less than rewarding for most games.

So to get to my point, there's no way on Earth he'll ever play this game again, so I thought I would just point out the futility of his actions, so that others may share in my anguish at having to watch them.
