Thursday Night Throwdown

Thursday Night Throwdown: 03/29/12

We reach the bounds of how many people bought Ridge Racer, and say peace out to Burnout Revenge.

It's Thursday night and it's time for you to go up against us in a weekly throwdown of decidedly humble proportions.

Mar. 29 2012

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Patrick

Audio Off? Well...time to open the video in two different tabs, start one 3-4 seconds, pause, mute the other, and go with the flow.

Bummer about the audio. With that said, the audio sync isn't an issue on their Twitch.tv page.

Yeah, the audio is definitely de-synced a few seconds behind the video.

Here's what to do when the audio is off:

Download the video, open in VLC, use F and G keys to adjust the sound delay. It's somewhere around +2800 milliseconds. Twitch.tv and Justin.tv videos are also fine.

None of the premises of your sarcastic statement are correct.

1. Mentioning Justin TV was just a way of pointing out that the audio is correct over there and not here, don't care about exclusivity.

2. I'm not speaking for everyone.

3. I said "these subscriber perks," meaning I'm not paying just for this one.

Nice try, though.

The audio delay makes the video seem like an english dub for a chinese movie.

I'm sorry I misunderstood your entitled, indignant comment. I'll be better about it the next time you're being a dick over another upload error.

You know, this happens so often. I'm glad someone was available to meet it with hostility.

reason for EA Sports MMA stuff coming down is because Zuffa who owns UFC and PRIDE also now own the rights to everything Strike Force, since EA had a deal with Strikeforce for a lot of the Fighters in their game, now that Zuffa owns Strikeforce and THQ holds the gaming rights to everything Zuffa, technically that game is infringing on copyrights owned by Zuffa now, and THQ because they have exclusivity rights, so chances are pretty soon you won't be able to find new copies of EA Sports MMA. So if there ever is another EASports MMA it will have to be with independent fighters or with leagues like Viacom's Bellator Fighting Championships(currently on MTV2 but will be on SpikeTV once the no compete clause from UFC is up) or a mixture of multiple fight leagues, as if you guys check out GoFightLive(GFL.tv) there are tons and tons of independent fight leagues putting on iPPVs(internet ppvs) so just because EA lost strikeforce does not mean that there won't be a sequel to there pretty awesome game, just wanted to clarify what happened with that particular game got the ax as far as online, cause there were tons of people playing online not that long ago so i doubt it was do to low population on their servers....great TNT and in Two Weeks we need us some multi-platform Burnout Paradise as i got it for free on PSN with Playstation Plus and i'm sure a ton more people got it for free too, also its been on GamesonDemand on Xbox forever...peace duders!

How I sync up the audio: open the video in two windows, then mute one, then skip that one ahead a little, then pause it until the audio from the other window catches up, then pause and unpause the muted one a bunch of times until they sync up perfectly. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands - why do you ask?

Man, the audio is WAY off. Was it this bad in the stream?

I can't even watch it. It's that far off. I could deal with a second maybe, but this is like four seconds.

Please fix this.

Burnout Revenge was good, but I think Burnout 3 on the XBOX 1 was better.
