Thursday Night Throwdown 5/20: Split/Second

 Oh my god! Someone has cut the brakes on Thursday Night Throwdown, and now we couldn't stop it if we wanted to! 

But we don't want to. 

No, the online multiplayer mayhem will continue unabated this week as we strap in for some seriously absurd car-nage [EDITOR'S NOTE: ugh.] in Split/Second for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. If you like car crashes and incredibly unnecessary collateral damage.. well, first off, congratulations, you've got impeccable taste and you're awesome. But also, consider yourself personally invited to come do some damage with us!  
 
To RSVP to our car-crashing party--which, I swear, isn't going to devolve into a David Cronenberg movie--just send a friend request to GBTNT on either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. If you'd rather just watch, that's cool too! Whatever gets you there, man. We'll have a live video stream to follow the action, as well as a chat room full of like-minded hooligans, and we'll be taking your questions and comments on the air.  
 
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who joined us for all the fiery-bus-flinging fun. If you missed it, you can check out the archived version below.
     
    

Nice!

So @000 then on Friday? Fantastic.

This will be fun to watch.       :)

Sweet I might be in on this action

I'll be buying the PC version of Splt Second tomorrow but I cant wait to watch you guys go nuts with it in TNT.   :D

Damn time differences, but if their doing Split/Second for TNT I hope that don't mean no Blur TNT. I think that would be amazingly awesome. Having said that, there needs to be a Red Dead Redemption TNT.  
 
So many TNT's!

Just a suggestion Ryan, but maybe you should just post the times for all the other time zones besides just your own. Seeing as how TNT is at the same time every week, it..yknow....makes sense. and avoids people bitching and moaning about what time it will be for them (though probably not)

That would be pretty impractical, considering how many international visitors this site has. "

Split/Second? Awesome. I've got both Skate 3 and Split/Second coming in the mail, and those games are both of the games they did TNT's for recently. They have to do a Battlefield Bad Company 2 TNT tho. that would be awesome.

What no PC love? I'm playing it on PC right now and it looks f'ing gorgeous.

Oh man... I have to wait until 2:00 a.m. and will there be a PC game on TNT besides Starcraft 2?

Excellent use of lmgtfy.com, Mr. Davis.

I wish I could join, but Red Dead Redemption game to me through GameFly before Split/Second.

I'm all friended up with GBTNT and ready for tonight's action. Hopefully I'm able to take part in a race or two!

Throwin in my votes. Uncharted 2 and Red Dead Redemption need some TNT'S

Awesome, this will be fun to watch. I'm very curious about this game and had a lot of fun playing the demo.

Gah, if I didn't have an exam I'd be all over this.

MUST pick up this game before my brain melts from awesomeness. Unfortunately RDR (PS3 ver) has me drooling all over my shirts.

Would have made slightly more sense to write the times in UTC as well I guess... Then people could just add their own time zone modifier to it rather then having to look up what PDT is first. If anyone's wondering, PDT is currently -7 hours and UTC for that time is is  23:00 / 11P.

Wow, the banner just got a whole lot fancier.

Friend request sent on xbox live. I'll try to be there tonight to blow stuff up.

For anyone in the east. It's 7pm :D
 
edit: Northeast USA I mean, sorry

looking forward to watching...next week y'all should play Red Dead Redemption! :D

hey the first TNT that I'm actually interested in! I'm psyched; I like arcade racing games :D

And for all my progressive dogs on Internet time, that's @000.beats.

I'm thinking I could just watch this, see all the awesome explosions and not have to buy the game.

Why must I work every thursday night!

Sux not to be in the US midnight start time here and work in the morning :(

I hope the footage is saved so I can watch it later.

why do they have to use ustream when justintv is better

i'm sad it's a thursday night :( only get split second on friday

" why do they have to use ustream when justintv is better "

Only problem I got with the timezone issue is that .. the "Let me google it for you site" is not telling me what the Pacific Daylight Time actually is, there is nothing named that. There is Pacific Time and lots of other similar things. But how am I supposed to know which one is the correct one? I dunno, so I gambled and picked on of em, according to that.. the show is up at 01:00

I was hoping for Red Dead, but I really want to see this game in action so I really couldn't care less.

huck.... huckabees? what?

When the hell are they going to do a PC game?
