Thursday Night Throwdown: 07/26/12

TUBBO!

this is exactly the kind of multiplayer bullshit i hate - a bunch of dudes just running around jumping like idiots. so pretty much every fps.

This looks so crazy that I'm gonna buy it.

I'm gonna guess Jeff spent some money on that haircut.

Vinny really is the star of this show. I love you Vinny.

Worst part of TNT: No Vinny

Best part of TNT: Vinny's video mayhem

HD does not stream fast enough to be watchable in Norway. And since progressive is not working on live content, the only way I can watch HD is by downloading the entire thing for 3 hours at a slow 300 kBs. You guys should look into fixing this, thank you.

First time playing that game. Somewhat fun.

Man this game is Trash you could no pay me to play this garbage.

Watching a stream consisting of player-made maps and more players on the maps than they were designed for isn't really a good way to gauge the quality of a game. But hey, if you want to remain ignorant, that's fine too.

THE PARTY SONG!

This problem is on your end though.

(In Sweden, streaming HD without problem.)

Yeah. I'm in Norway, streaming HD just fine.

Thanks Vinny, wasn't playing on sleeping anyway.

I dont get it.

On last weeks TNT the whiteboard said "More like BONY Hawk". This week it says "More like BONY Mania"

Facemania!

Also, Ryan did damn good for his first time out. Did he play this previous to this TNT? And where is Avril Lavigne?! I demand that she becomes a part of every TNT from now on.

That might be, I'm not sure if I understand this though. In VLC it says that the bitrate of the video is 1.96 MB/s. In various bandwith tests I get 2.5 MB/s in download.

Anyway, it largely works I guess.

@sparks50: I'm going to guess that the bandwith tests give you 2,5 Mb, not 2,5 MB. Mb stands for megabit and a bit is 8 times smaller than a byte, which means when your internet speed is at 2,5 Mbps, you download at around 316 KBps. The bitrate VLC gives you however is in normal megabytes.

In short, your internet is just too slow.

M neither. It's shit.

I get close to 6 MB/s 6 Mbps so maybe you're a bit too close to the minimum limit for it to run smoothly?

Im not really qualified to answer that though.

Btw have you tried the HTML5 player? Works much much better for me.

I might try that, if I can transfer all my sync stuff from FF to Google. I'm probably stretching my luck on bandwith streaming.

I just had a great idea;

Nadeo should buy Neversoft and make Skatemania.

I'll be interested when I get TrackXShootMANIA MANIA

this game looks fucking whack...

That CBS money was so worth it, LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUN VINNY IS HAVING. Man so much trolling going on TNT, its fucking awesome.

Giant Bomb has set the qaulity bar even higher with these replays and legitimate sponsors.

That was absolutely THE BEST cut to Gerstmann in the beginning, holy cow.

Hmmmm...Skullomania Trackmania car...

This game become 90% better when dubstep Cher popped up.

And Jeffs haircut is pretty boss.

What's that dancey pop song Vinny always plays during TNT? It was played around the 1:05 mark when Brad was playing...

...and Jif peanut butter is the best.

Damn, now I want to play Hitman.

That hummingbird mask overlay 14 minutes in reminded me of that visor effect from Metroid Prime.

this game seems like it would get old very fast. incredibly minimalist.

Shootmania made me believe in life after love again

PS/2 Rate! xD

This game looks like a bad student project.

Vinny the tricastermaster at work :)

Kreayshawn reference at 22:55

If this wasn't made by Nadeo I have the feeling jeff would have shit all over it

You know the game's compelling when 30 minutes in neither Brad nor Ryan are looking at the game.

Geff Jerstmann

I dunno, for all its problems I know I'll get this game eventually. Looks chaotic fun which I appreciate.

Jif is far superior to Skippy.
