edit: HAMMER SMASH FOR QUEST WIN!

Also, I missed the start of this one, looking forward to more wobble bass :)

Oh, all right.

Caught the tail end of this live, just in time for Cher. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it, leading up to yet more Cher!

Hold on, Is Jeff playing on a Mac?!?! If so how?

Urgh Trackmania 2 is the first time ive regretted buying a mac over a PC

What happened to the two-hour long intro sequence?!

EDIT: I'm so happy that someone threw Skrillex's "Syndicate" song into the mix...

I assume he is using bootcamp to run it.

I was in this TNT for pretty much the entire thing! So much awesome!

You can use texture import on the tracks??

I missed this last night, looking forward to it!

Boom

@0calum0: Bootcamp

Does anyone know what the name of the X files remix song is? I've tried looking and can't find it. I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

lol people in Uzbekistan don't have computers

best game, worst music.

Help an old man here. Does anybody actually like dubstep, or do people only like it ironically, or both?

@anal_diarrhea: Both. I personally like some of it and find some of it completely crazy and over the top... but in a way that I can sort of get behind.

Love it. There's a lot of samey sounding stuff out there, though.

I've said it before elsewhere, but I get the feeling that both sides of the dubstep love/hate brigades agree with each other that "it sounds like Transformers having sex," albeit for totally opposite reasons.

Dubstep is my religion, and Korn's new dubstep album is the shit.

The circle will be complete when Kid Rock releases a dubstep album. Nothing could be more authentic.

I just recently started listening to specific dubstep songs, sounds neat. Also, surprised how short this TNT is.

@0calum0: I think it's just an Apple monitor.

This was great fun - I managed to squeeze into the server fairly on and stayed until the end - Trackmania & stupid dubstep is a brilliant pairing.

Is it my laptop or is there a static/hissing sound throughout the video?

WWMD?

WOBWOBWOBWOB

The best damn music ever.

This was my 2nd participation in a TNT.

WOBWOOOBWOBWOBWOBWOBWOWOWOWOWOBWOB

Man, this game was really fun to watch.

Getting 5th place on TM2 TNT is my greatest achievement in life (kind of sad).

First TNT I joined in on~ was fun.

First TNT, was great fun :D

Also my first (and probably last TNT.) Was a great excuse to put off uni work this morning.

Really wish I could have been there!

Cant believe I had to miss it for work.

oh fucking awesome they answered my question and i missed it last night cuz i had to go half way through the live stream YYYYAAAAAAAAYYYYYY :)

Anybody know the track names that played during TMNT?

@anal_diarrhea: I used to love it before it went to shit and started sounding like Transformers having sex. Honestly, it got absolutely atrocious with Skrillex and all that awful, awful, awful brostep, which has now become associated with dubstep - falsely so. The brostep that's popular now has nothing to do with dubstep, and is all talentless bullshit that sounds like shite.

If you want to hear actual dubstep, look for Digital Mystikz, Mala, Kode9, Skream (pre-2009).

The GiantBomb track is fucking amazing!

Loved this TNT. I operated a hat trick by suggesting music that got played (Call Your Girlfriend [Feed Me Remix]), making a track that got played (I'm Different) and playing on the server for basically the whole time! Woooo!!

I typed /music list in the server and here's the full playlist for those that are curious:

• Lights by Klaypex
• Where is my mind by pixies
• No Sleep till Brooklyn by Beastie Boys (Wick-it Remix)
• Rollin Mirrored Theory by Limp Bizkit
• X-Files by Neo Geo
• Jurassic Park by krookz
• Sesame Street Techno House Mix
• Believe by Cher
• Call your Girlfirend by Robyn (Feed Me Remix) [I asked Jeff to add this one!]
• Syndicate by Skrillex
• E.T. (Katy Perry) by Klaypex

I wanted to join, but it was always full... Too bad some people didn't leave so others could play...

OUCH! For the record it took me ages to get in I tried over 50 times for about 20 minutes straight so you bet your ass once I was in I was staying! Sorry man but I wasn't the only one some people were in for the entire TNT. Jeeezz...

Can't stop watching Ryan and Jeff's reaction to the Rolling dubstep mix @ 34:28

does that annoying electronic noise go away?

Wow, that Giant Bomb map is amazing. I need to get back on the server, haven't played in like a week!

Needs way more Jurassic Park Dubstep remixes. Jesus christ, what franchise will they taint next?

@Buckfitches: I'm fan of this.

Edit: Forgot the obligatory wob-wob-wob-wob-wobs.

One of my favorite TNTs thus far.

Skrillex is complextro, not dubstep but whatever.

It odd because it was fine until about 3 minutes in then high pitched something going on.

Seems like you "spared no expense" on this server.

Loud hissing seems to get significantly less worse at about 21minutes.

That is not a genre of music. And if people are trying to "make" complextro then they really need to stop.

throw up your x's

Quite disappointing I could never get in to the server, tried for an hour, and both times I got the loading bar up I ended up getting booted out. Fun TnT to watch though.

I don't get how Ryan can like something like Kreyshawn but say that the x-files remix was bad
