Got on for a game of Coldfront where we got wrecked.
 
I kept hoping that Norm would fire a rocket at me so I could show the guys the Pyro's airblast first-hand.

I almost got into a game.  24 player cap is kind of a bummer.

guys whats the password please answer i missed it

Do MAG next week.

So worth the backstabs I did on norm. :D

That was some pretty bad audio lag. 

Other than all the idiots in the chat with their incessant "what's the password for the server you fucks!?" and "Ryan said the code too fast, I hate these guys!" this was one of the most awesome TNTs. 
 
Any guesses for next week?

Wish we could have got multiple games going. Jeff and Norm in one game, Ryan and Will in another. Twice as many people playing. Something to think about.

The stream was a little uneven technology-wise, but they just moved into a new office and this was also their first PC stream, so I can cut them some slack.
 
Still think it's weird how Jeff thinks TF2 is inaccessible considering his fighting game nonsense, but whatevs.
 
Maybe now that they have their own server, they will play more! At least as soon as they figure out what "reserved slots" are!

" i also give up, don't know why they don't just kick out people who have been playing longer to let someone in. worst tnt ever. "

Best 2hrs spent this month! Amazing show!

Ah... looks like I missed it, ah well... off to cry in bed I guess 

Twas awesome! More PC games for the next TNT

Do they announce it forehand? Cause I usually only found out which game it is like 3 hours before..

Yay I got into the last match!

what was that thing tf2.giant bomb, i forget

its full the split second server opens back up 
 
DONE SON, DONE

Here is the archived video stream for those who missed it or want to watch it again.

I tried.  Now I'm sad bunnies.

I really can't think of anything except for the SSFIV Tournament Mode TNT that Jeff wanted to try out. "

Yup, tried joining the server for about 2 hours before i eventually gave up and just started playing. They really should have given people a temporary ban after they played a round.

That one one minute and forty seconds I got to play was okay.

I got in for the last round, so the kicking did actually work if you ask me...
The problem is (as with XBox Live matches) that a lot of people want to get in. A LOT!

I didn't get in, even though I tried for most of the time. I guess TF2 is a pretty popular game amongst GB members.

" I didn't get in, even though I tried for most of the time. I guess TF2 is a pretty popular game amongst GB members. "

I had no luck getting in.  At least this means if they keep that server up that it will be a popular one for general play.

" That one one minute and forty seconds I got to play was okay. "

i had fun setting duders on fire

You guys need to do some more of these in other countries, the only thing that stopped me from joining was the 500 ping. Damn Australia.

They kicked people multiple times and the server crashed multiple times. The reason you didn't get in is because there were hundreds of other people also trying to get in. Don't be dense. "

i got in for 1 round, so i frapsed some of it, thought I'd share.
 
 

I was lucky enough to get in and it was greatly enjoyable to see I, Tony Yayo (the most dynamic member of G-Unit), get shout outs. 
 
Plus I blasted Norm right off the cliff like 2-3 times. So good. 

I really hope if that code stuff happens again they just give them away in the site cause I could never understand what Ryan was saying.

Just watched the archived version. The video and audio are way out of sync near the end but besides that it was a pretty great TNT. Having more TF2 TNTs with Will and Norm in the future would be fine by me. Maybe get Dave playing next time though.

YES! Fuck Ustream, this is WAY better!

But there was so much disorganization. People rejoin, people know the password that wasn't really revealed while lots of others didn't, all the other shit.

Exactly. I think the extra player cap would have been a good idea. 32 max for regular players while have like a couple of reserve slots. "

Why wont the archived version work?
i think this justin tv thing sucks cause it wouldn't let me watch it live last night either

Awesome! That was the one I was in . I even killed you with a shotgun and got urine thrown on my by Norm! I was going to record it too, but forgot because I was happy to get in. "

Add me on Steam.  fps_shooter

It's funny... but I have such loyalty to valve that every criticism from the giant bomb crew about this game I took personally and every compliment I felt a little bit of pride. 
 
So do you think you guys will play TF2 in the future in general, or maybe even another TNT? 
I am expecting at least 5 mins in the next podcast dedicated to discussion of TF2 :D 

does the archived version on this page work for anybody? if so why wont it work for me?

With hundreds of people trying to get on the server, what do you guys think the probability of someone successfully rejoining the server was? Here's a hint: very small. The password was there to make sure the staff could play, and only the staff knew it. There's also no reason to kill the game balance just to squeeze extra people on the server.  The staff's goal was to play some TF2 with a random group of fans and have some fun for two hours, not to see how many humans they could possibly play with in that time period. A very small, random group of people got to play because of the massive volume of people wanting to play. The whining is both annoying and unecessary. But hey, it's tf2 so I guess it's par for the course. "
