Watch the JustinTV feed. Seems to improve on the audio after 30 or so minutes.

Entertaining TNT. Battlefield 3 multi player is a blast.

Ok, got it figured. For every 100 seconds, the audio is ahead by 1 second. I'm not that familiar with available video software, but I put up a function in excel where I put how far I was in minutes, and had it calculate how much I should skip the audio by. Or, alternatively, you can increase the skip by .1 every 10 seconds.

Some of the stuff he's talking about at 1:25:00 and on, with joint parachute drops and stuff like that not having been done before... it had. It was the driving force of Planetside. PS was mediocre, but carried itself on the scope of the warfare. A lot of that found its way into BF2142, albeit in a scale more suiting to a round based game with only 32 players on each side.

even downloaded it's out of sync. And by a long way too, like 9 seconds. You can adjust syncing in VLC but when i tried adjusting it too much, the audio went completely dead.

Same here, VLC couldn't handle multiple adjustments and decided to shut audio off entirely.

Giantbomb staff, you should just reupload a proper version of this video, this is not the quality we expect from you.

If you watch the Justin version the lag fixes itself once they switch the feed to gameplay.

I know people already said it, but the sound gets very out of sync.

Otherwise, I managed to catch it live, and it was a great TNT.

Audio sync is pretty significantly off, but entertaining TNT nonetheless.

While I agree that the out of game option to do all the battle log stuff, it fucking SUCKS not being able to do it in game. As an option, it'd be awesome. As the only way to find a game? Meh, pretty fucking obnoxious if you ask me. I don't often need to chill outside of the game waiting for stuff, I'm not in a fantasy combat league, I'm playing a damn game.

Does the existence of a working tricaster provide a means to fix the audio?  Honestly I have no idea what a tricaster is or does, I'm going to just picture Vinny or Drew plugging away on a tricorder during the filming of these things.

Mike knew to change to IGLA when taking down choppers, but then repeatedly tries to destroy tanks with it too.

Sad they don't do stuff like this anymore. This is what made me sign up for the site.
