Thursday Night Throwdown 08/05: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

You won't smell very clean by the time it's all over.

Do you like the visceral drama of a modern military setting? Do you like hearing soldiers shout and curse in multiple languages? Perhaps most importantly, do you like pretending to shoot guys in the face? Then tonight's the night, as we'll be playing some Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from 4PM to 6PM Pacific Daylight Time on this week's Thursday Night Throwdown!
  
If you want to get in on some of the Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush, and maybe even a little Onslaught action tonight, you can send us a friend request to GBTNT on the Xbox 360, or just join us on our dedicated BC2 server on the PC, which you can find on the in-game server browser as "Giant Bomb/Tested Slamma Jamma Super Happy Fun Time." If you'd rather just kick back and relax, you can watch the live video stream below or chat it up on Giant Bomb's official Justin.tv channel, which we'll be pulling questions from during the broadcast.  
 
UPDATE: Show's over folks! Thanks to everyone who suffered from my helicopter piloting. If you missed it live, you can watch the archived version below.

Why don't they accept 99 friends and leave the one open so people can still send friend requests?
 
I don't think I've ever actually gotten a friend request sent before it was filled up.

Only doing one console version is a good idea, the PC segment will be more entertaining than watching the exact same game on PS3.

Wait, I thought Microsoft stopped their first Xbox Live so they can support the 360 version more. Meaning a larger friends list. What happened to that? "
it was a lie. "
Should I complain to Microsoft even though I only have 14 friends on there?

No PS3 version is stupid, There are plenty of people wanting to play that version (me included) and there is no way I'm getting the 360 or PC copy anytime soon.
