Thursday Night Throwdown: 10/27/11

woot wish I was here for this but I had to work during it :(

yeah baby

"edit"

Is it just me or does the audio desync from the video?

The audio is out of sync. Nuts.

Oh dear god syncing.....

I was planning to watch a minute or two when this was live earlier.
 
I ended up watching the whole damn thing.  Good stuff.

They mentioned on the show that a piece of equipment (I believe it was called a Tri-caster?) is broken. The whole show was off sync. This may be as good as we can get.

it gets better later on. im watching it here.

Was the audio off in the Live stream? I didn't notice anything.

Bloody hell Mike, truly tearing it up.

I apologize if this is said in the video at some point, just started the vid, do they say what settings they're at?

@TehJedicake: High and some ultra

I was one of those people that used a joystick for desert combat jets. So much fun dog fighting with this guy who recommended it in game.

Uhm, this TNT Live was the worst yet. Massive technical problems.

Mike is bloody good a Battlefield. I thought it was pretty good.

Solid community TNT.

Sorry, I mean watching it live was plagued with problems for many people, there were tons of technical issues for a lot of people.

Giant Bomb is anti-helicopter.

Out of sync.

This was a very entertaining TNT, though I was bummed that they started late and ended early. BF3 is such a visually dense game in every respect - both in terms of gorgeous visuals, and the amount of stuff going on - that it's hard not to be entertained.

All of the Battlefield TNT's have been good over the years.

Awesome..... love the delay in audio adds a certain sense of whats next

Man, I hate when the audio is out on sync on the videos on GB.

It's because their tricaster is broken.

I so wanted to watch this but the audio being broken is kind of a massive bummer. I know they cant really do much cos of technical difficulties but I would really love it if they could somehow fix it. :)

The 20 second delay is really lame. Great TNT, but this is supposed to be "Premium" quality, as in, people are paying for this guys.

I guess I'll download it and fix it up in VLC then.

I missed this, also I ran into Eric Roberts at work.

Man, that tricaster thing is a real problem. I'm kind of not sure why it has taken this long... If it's affecting premium videos like this, the problem needs to be solved immediately, one way or another.

When you get it fixed up then pass me the numbers. Thanks.

Same here, glad I can watch it now.

I am guilty of flying the chopper in the tunnel. So much fun!

I'm watching it now and the trouble is that the sync seems to be getting progressively worse as the video goes on. I'm watching through the GOMPlayer which fortunately has very simple tools for nudging the audio sync backwards or forwards, but I'm having to continuously adjust it while watching.

Tried watching this for a good thirty minutes but by then its just unbarable. The worst part is hearing them react to hilarious stuff we don't see until several minutes later, spoiling the hilarity.

Well fuck. I thought the audio just got de-synched at a certain time- not the de-synch getting worse and worse.

Annnnnd at a 10 second delay, the GOM Player won't allow me to adjust the audio sync any further.

You win this round, tricaster.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GET FREE CONTENT. COULDNT I HAVE JUST GIVEN YOU A DOLLAR TIP OR SOMETHING??!

It's weird, the Justin.tv archive doesn't seem to have the audio sync issue. I recommend watching that version instead.

Not to sound too critical but you really need to stick to the main players at the helm, it was kinda like watching some random dude play a game on justin.tv.

This TNT sold me on the game, too much "holy-shit-factor" for me to resist.

Download faster, Origin!

I was able to take part in pretty much the entire TNT. A lot of fun playing with everyone! I totally revived enemykite.

Thanks. Doing that instead.

i would really have loved to join. but aparently i could not join any servers and even if i could the exe aparently keep crashing 2-5min in no matter what i do.

great TNT, having a good game to play helps I guess

"That guy switched kits with me to revive me, what a nice guy, he gave up his LMG so that he could bring me back to life"

You're welcome Mike!

Man, seems like klepeck is trying to replace Will Smith i.e. annoyingly screaming to the point of causing distortion in the audio.

In conclusion: Jöhn Cärmäck.

@Slaker117: Even the justin archive was out of sync for me.

Hopefully they fix it by the time I'm out of classes for the day. Looking forward to watching this one and had to miss the stream last night.

I must say that I'm disappointed at the audio sync issue. As I am a paying user, I expect some quality. They mentioned that they know about the issues and apologized but still ran it. I would have fixed the problem before and then shot the show. About 10sec audio lag makes this unwatchable. I really like Battlefield and would have liked to watch this. Hope this will not be an issue in the future.
