Anybody else not really like TNT?
@commandercup: It can get dry and there's a reason why. People's attention cannot be held on for 2 hours straight. You need to do an occasional check up here and there in other tabs while you're still tuned into TNT. Not to mention, its a weekly content, so it becomes hard to concentrate on something that repeatedly shows up every week.
" It gets kind of boring when they have no guests (Norm, Will). Also, I can't watch the Screening Room, it's too awkward, the camera just sits there, watching them................. O0 "You're supposed to be watching the movie WITH them, not just watching them...
Anyway, I think TNT is ok, but I never miss the Screening Room. I think it's one of the best Whiskey Media content and I think it's damned entertaining. It's like watching a movie with a commentary track, only the people are actually bearable to listen to (as so few directors are).
"And if you don't like simulcasts...there's not much here for you except the wiki. "If you say so.
Ustream doesn't like my connection and vice versa, causing every video to be choppy. It puts me off watching any live content.
I have trouble with both, for completely opposite reasons.
I feel like the problem with most TNTs is that the Bomb guys go in with extremely limited knowledge about the game. I'm not saying that they all need to read the Halo books or spend a hundred hours with the game beforehand, but it seems like with 5 or 6 people there they get really simple facts from or make crazy assumptions. If you don't agree, go watch the Halo TNT followed by the Starcraft one. I have no love for Starcraft, but that stream was way more fun to watch because when there was any confusion, Brad would know the answer. Drew was pretty good at the Halo one, but regardless I think it wouldn't hurt to go in a bit more informed to most of these.
On the other hand, the Screening Room seems like 2 hours of Matt trying to judge every aspect of a movie, be it pointing out every bit of homoeroticism or every bit of imagery or how the director sucks. I get that the whole point is for them to overlay their own commentary on a movie, but I feel like Rorie should chill out a little bit and just enjoy a movie for what it is rather than dissecting every tiny flaw or piece of trivia that shows up on screen.
Regardless, I watch my fair share of streams and enjoy them for what they are, but there are absolutely times where I just need to turn them off.

Is it just me or over half the people who do not like the TNTs are sony loyal, im sure Blur TNT is still in there minds where they went and got a PS3 copy and NOBODY showed up.
All of you guys, I'm here for the community really. Gaming news I mainly get from Kotaku or from the forums. Where it's posted when it breaks, not a few days later. The weird thing is, I don't hate Kessler like the rest of the site seems to. I like the fact that he does post what little I read here.

Like what? Other than what was mentioned above, you would only come here for trailers and news from the b-team. You can find better versions of that stuff on other sites. If you don't like any staff content, than this site is pointless. "

Why? because they have a different opinion to yourself? get the fuck over yourself.

I couldn't get into the Reach TNT, so I started watching it, however that just made me want to go play more Halo, so that happened instead.
I did manage to catch Will Smith eating Halo though, and that makes anything that these guys do worthwhile.
Depends on the game. Seeing Ryan run forward and get gunned down in 10 seconds 500 times every time there's a TNT on a shooter isn't so great. Racing games are similar. Fighting games are a bit more fun, and Starcraft 2 was -amazing-. Seems like 1v1 or other small matchups are key, because then we aren't just watching from the perspective of just another nobody who means almost nothing in the grand scheme of the game (and is usually in last place).
Yeah, Whats the point of playing with the GB guys if you can't even talk to them? I'd rather play 2 hours of Reach myself then watch them play.
Different strokes.
I don't usually watch TNT, but I do if I plan to try to play with the guys.
