That was probably the best TNT GB had in quite a while ... not because of TF2 (thats a part of it though) but because that was a really interesting conversation those 3 had.

You guys forgot sCary's Shugashack (now Shacknews). His Quake 1 demos were legendary. He was a beast.

I believe he now works for Gearbox (Borderlands, Duke Nukem).

One of, if not the best, TNT's since they started? I hope they are not home more often.

This was the best TNT ever. All of the guys actually know how to play the game (unlike the other guys who choose a random game every week), there was cool in game stuff like the Quake Rocket Launcher and the talk about old PC games and old internet sites was hilarious.

Console inversion is a contested subject which means that plenty of people do and don't invert. Mouse inversion? Those are the real crazies and it's sad that console inversion and PC inversion are considered the same by Ryan etc.

Also the fact that Dave inverts his mouse is shocking and yet unsurprising at the same time.

I love these random conversations about the good ol' days. That's usually the best part about those TNTs. The one time I can remember the actual game part being fun was when they did the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts TNT a few months ago. That was hilarious! (boatcarplane!)

By the way. If you're a beginner and playing going medic, as Will suggests, tell people you're a beginner. A team shouldn't have too many medics and you might just mind block someone competent from playing medic. No one will ever mind too many soldiers. So, in my opinion, go for that.

It's great when they talk about old pc games. Those are the games I grew up with. Coconut monkey was awesome. I played those custom levels; railgun alley was great.

I loved the old PC gaming talk. Also, inverted controls on everything forever!
