Brad looks serious

Nice rape-face, Brad.

Morning coffee and TnT. Nice!

Nice!

Excellent.

MVP goes to Joey. And Brad makes the best faces out of any one there. :D

Production values on TNT have increased greatly, and it makes it even more fun to watch. So cool that so many people in the studio can participate now!

@Sparklykiss: Joey was a machine. Specifically, a chainsaw.

I am so pumped that the cobbler hung so hard.

Brad Shoemaker: SOULGAZER

SERIOUS

BUSINESS

I might actually buy Gears 3 after this. Looks like a great online experience.

Absolutely love the new TNT format. I never used to bother to watch because it was rather bland, but this and the last have been great.

Brad Shoemaker: Lady Killer

This was awesome, one of the best TNT's. There weren't any crazy shenanigans just the guys playing a really awesome game. Only bad part was these guys were so into the game they didn't really speak much while playing.

I only watched the first 30 minutes live and the only commentary interrupting the silence was "holy crap", "that man shot me with a shotgun" and "oh god". I love the new format and silence is probably not a problem when they start playing horde mode but it seems like two persons on the couch without controllers might be something to consider.

Looking at that image I feel like Brad wants to have sex with me.

Not that I'm against that or anything.

Dark Brad, what have you done with Good Brad!

ANYA

17 minutes in... hopefully at some point they start identifying whose screen I'm seeing @.@

I'm glad I got invited into the first game since they spent most of the time playing Beast and Horde. Not a problem though. Still had lots of fun even though Patrick kept stealing my kills! Ended the game with like 17 downs or something, haha

Did they turn off comments from freebie users on Premium videos? Thank God

So many Ice T's!

@RedCricketChase: Vinny comes to the rescue.

OMG that scared me for a second!! great job!

Brad: "Aha this guy doesn't seem to know how to finish me"

*sounds of someone either being punched repeatedly in the face or with one of their own severed arms*

Brad: "Oh, he figured it out"

Really fun to watch TNT, I think I prefer the semi-co-op ones. Usually it's just a multiplayer quick look, with very little communication with the players. At least with the co-op TNTs the GB guys have more fun.

@Zaph: Oh god, that freaked me out.

@Zaph: Thank you.

3.3 GB HD version. I think I might go with just High Quality on this one...

Great stuff! Surprised how much i'm enjoying this game.

Anyone else notice a really weird high pitched sound about 1h 30+ in? It's quite annoying :C

thanks alot

@MonkfishEsq: Yes I was just about to post complaining about it!

Its probably the wireless controllers messing with their wireless mics?

BTW GOW3 Looks fun to bad I don't have a console!

I like this new format of them all playing together.

Weekly podcasts, weekly TNT's, loads of quicklooks for new and old. I can't help but feel I should be saying thank you more often.

@Paboned: Alot is better than you.

Ya, probably not the best idea to have EVERYONE on set playing the game, but I did like the increased crew count.

"I am a giant hand.." - Joey Famelli.

Hahahaha, we need more Joey!

Beware Beserkers

Extra Moist TNT!

Yes, it really revitalized TNT. Also, more Joey.

That was me. I am the absolute worst at this game. I sent them a friend request as I was leaving work and I figured that I wouldn't get picked out of the hopper when I was at home.

I want this game more now!

Another to add to the list of games I want that I can't afford! Resistance 3 or Gears 3 and 3 months of gold??

Also, when they do another Gears game I'd love to see a game focused on the stranded. I'd see it as playing more like Uncharted but with survival horror elements. Much more about running and hiding.

JOEY IS A BEAST

The only console game I've reaaallly wanted for a good two years. Please come to PC Gears, we love you!

I have only good things to say about this new direction for TNT.

I sure did, was trying to skip a few minutes hoping it would stop. BUT IT DIDNT! =[

@Zaph: man that evil brad freaked the fuck outta me ha ha ha
