@Zidd: Nope. I tried to get into the Super Street Fighter IV one but that didn't work out so well. Same thing with Halo Reach's beta. I never even got through the process of ending up in the TNT's friends list to show up for a game. 
 
@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.

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).

If you're not enjoying them, you probably just don't like simulcasts in general. 
 
And if you don't like simulcasts...there's not much here for you except the wiki.

@Meteora: What platform did you try? I think its harder to get into the 360 friends list because of the limit. the PSN friends list does not seem to be as hard to get on.

They're okay, but I don't really go out of my way to watch it. My dream is to play a game with Drew and Coonce, but we can all dream, right?

Ustream doesn't like my connection and vice versa, causing every video to be choppy.  It puts me off watching any live content.

I don't even watch them anymore. Only chance I'd tune in is if it was a game I'd have a chance of actually joining them in. The Battlefield 2 was pretty hilarious, though the majority I also find quite boring.

Fortunately, Giant Bomb includes the option to not watch it with their Membership Subscription.

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.

I watch the TNT if I am up but it kinda depends on the game as well though I could see why people could see them as boring. The Screening room is okay too and Rorie talking is better than Alex sitting in silence through the whole thing.

TNTs are delicious little treats that are best enjoyed as a bit silly entertainment after a long day. You know what I'm saying here brothermen? It's a live show with games journalists! They talk some yang and sometimes say incorrect things!

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.

Why are you here then? That's the best content that GB provides really. You must really like the community or something because this website should suck to you otherwise. "
There are plenty of other totally valid reasons. Content from the editorial staff makes up only a small portion of what this site has to offer. "

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. "
i would have thought the wiki would be a big part of it...

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).

I like the idea of TNT, but I don't buy many games on launch week, and I usually can't commit to watching a live stream of anything. I still have 4ish hours of BLLSL left to watch in the archive. I have interest in TNT if I have the game and am available. I got invited to the SSFIV one, and I was looking forward to getting destroyed by GB or anyone in the community where the guys could make fun of me, but since then I haven't been able to be around. :( 
 
I don't usually watch TNT, but I do if I plan to try to play with the guys.
