We Think Mondays Are A-OK: 03/26/2012

Those Xbox 360 Charge & Play kits are a rip-off. It's way better to just get rechargeable batteries.

I bet it felt great to spend all that money.

Brad's hopping onto the Cain Train on which Cain badassedly shoots robots.

Yes, everyone must experience the French robot revolution.

Why 4 xboxes and only 2 playstations? just curious

I think they've mentioned before that they usually get sent more 360 copies of games. That'd be my guess.

I think it's time to crack open Cards Against Humanity again for the TNT. Really show CBSi just what they bought.

YESSSSSSSSSS

I love the smell of fresh tech in the morning.

Totally jealous. Obviously it's not free tech or anything, but I always love unpacking new shit.

EDIT: I think that whenever y'all don't want to do a TNT based on a 'recently released multiplayer game', that's the perfect opportunity to go back in time and play some old shit. It doesn't even have to be good or anything, maybe a medley of mediocre games (some Dark Sector, some Army of Two, etc) or go deep nerd and start up some old-ass Age of Empires 2 multiplayer. Or some Rise of Nations. Basically, throw some darts at a dartboard and play that.

Darts TNT!

As a dude who's been following Gerstmann and friends since the late 90s, I have to admit, I'm pretty excited to see them back at the old office... especially now that they have more creative freedom than they did in the old Gamespot days.

Kid Icarus TNT!!! Dark vs Light

i wish the new podcast wasnt premium only :(

Woot looking forward to a Neverdead ql :).

better keep the receipt for that stuff for a price match...it all goes on sale the 30th! lol

What ever happened to the Journey Quicklook? :(

so this is what CBS I has done to to giantbomb.

they used to love mondays now they are only A-OK

DAMN YOU CBS I

Edit: silent hill downpour is awsome. granted it got some framerate issues, you often get stuck on the environment but not permanently, and the combat sucks but its a fucking silent hill game

A quicklook of that game longer than 10 mins would ruin the whole thing. Also I'll save you the time of waiting; It's amazing, go buy it.

On the topic of gear, why can't we buy 360 battery packs by themselves anymore?

How To Re-build A Bomb!

Monday and me are just friends.

How about some Blades of Time for this week's TNT? I haven't tried out the multiplayer myself yet, but supposedly it's a MOBA-style game. Everybody loves MOBA right? The only problem is that the game didn't sell particularly well, but I believe it only supports up to 2 players (vs and co-op) so that shouldn't be much of an issue. Anyway, not saying you dedicate an entire TNT to it -- just a couple of matches depending how long they go on for.

1080 all the way. 32" is reasonable. Sounds like you got good basic meets the standard type equipment.

Right on Brad, you said what I was thinking PC.

@DrunkenBobDole: It's right here:

Sara Lima, oOoOoOoooh. :D

Do another MK9 TNT please.

Doo eet! Buy it and quicklook it yourself as its maybe 2hours long unless you spend a TON of time exploring which is what the second, third, fourth, and fifth time is for

TNT should be all Mortal Kombat, all the time!

A 'How to Re-Arm the Bomb' would be awesome.

@jellotek said:

@Sweetz: Actually, it already got localized once on the PSP in 2010. ...And I think anyone should be forgiven for overlooking that because, well... PSP. :|

I stand corrected. Wikipedia tells me that they actually used (with permission) a fan translation of the game for the retail release. Cah-razy.

I would be completely fine with this.

Hey, I just got that same TV Brad got, except the 720p version.

I like it fine, but I can't seem to get the picture right. Everything seems... faded? That's not the right word, but idk how to describe it. No matter what I do with the settings, even when it looks its best it seem off. Like it's a contrast thing or something. It's my first hdtv ever, so maybe that's how it's supposed to look, who knows.

I would really appreciate an Operation Raccoon City Quick Look.

Hmmm. That reminds me. I really need to consider buying a new tv. Mines getting pretty old as far as HDTV's a concerned. Samsung has been pretty good for me so far. Maybe I'll just upgrade to an LED.

I'll upgrade once the next gen comes out provided those games run at 1080p.  No other reason to switch right now. 

No Silent Hill HD Collection QL?

Looks like CBSi has taken away the knives! Fight the power Jeff, risk fingers and smuggle a blade past security.

Sarah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The best idea ever.

@EricNStuff said:

WHERE CAN I GET THE PAINTING AT 4:41.

It looks so boss.

It's a fan made gift, so nowhere.

All that stuff and they still can't afford box cutters.

They should re-visit AC:Revelations for TNT. That's still a fun multiplayer game.

@Aetheldod said:

So whats wrong with Mass Effect 3 mp? It is awesome >:(

Damn straight. It's great. Booo on Brad for hatin'

They still make 720p TV's? I've not seen a 720p TV since 2009 here in Sweden. Except for super cheap brands or plasmas, but certainly not a 720p LCD from any of the major brands. Even the cheapest TV's from the major brands are 1080p here as far as I've seen.

@DefAde said:

Also, worth knowing that in the UK, 576 lines is considered Standard Definition, so 600 line games really shouldn't have been claiming to be High Definition - Even if in the US their SD was only 480

SDTV is 576p25 or 576i50, it's a bit silly to compare that to (upscaled) 720p60.

Lawl, Brad and his bad shooter skills.

No...human being could stack boxes like this.

Yeah, consoles. Whatever. Where is the dual GTX 680 PC ;)

Giantbomb is a bunch of sell outs

What kind of Samsung TV is that?

Xenoblade? hype.

@Mdk5631: That's a Samsung Shut The Fuck Up. You should get one of those.

@AlisterCat: I wouldn't mind another Banjo Kazooie TNT, but only if there is the triumphant return of Plane-Boat-Car and at the very least a Will Smith substitute.

OH MY GOD PRODUCT PLACEMENT GIANT BOMB HAS SOLD OUT

Yo, I have that same Samsung 1080P LED for my living room, only bigger, and that is a BALLER TV. Great contrast, really lights up, minimal glare, and once gaming mode is on, almost no latency. Really happy with it.

Great video guys, good to see stuff is coming together over there

More videos like these, they remind me of the Building a Bomb videos, and it makes me smile.
