Thursday Night Throwdown: 11/29/12

Excellent. Working late made me miss this, this will be a nice midnight treat.

Yo that F2P is amazing. Straight up gangster.

Was caught up playing some vidya games that I missed this week's TNT yo.

Brad called me awesome.

Who don't got one?

Fun stuff. Terrible game.

Although the game had a winchester so really, who can complain?

Can someone make a gif of Jeff shaking his head at 3:43? That would be very useful for things.

I was on tv.

But The Joker said if you're good at something, never do it for free!

What was going on with Jeff's eye?!

Yes! My Friday is complete!

The last time Jeff was seen alive.

Say what you will about Mass Effect's regular story (I liked it fine), but the multiplayer turned out to be an unexpected bonus. I spent plenty of hours with friends leveling guys up to my war assets. Perhaps because they streamlined the combat so much, it translated well as a cooperative horde mode.

If anything, the drawback was that after creating a few guys, there wasn't much to keep me playing other than curiosity in trying the other classes. With a little more depth and variety, I wouldn't say no to a full cooperative-only Mass Effect game.

Jeff's shirt is bitchin.

I felt dirty playing District 187. I immediately deleted it once Jeff left the match.

that hair, jeff looks destroyed

Sitting a mere six inches away from big-ass monitors is not recommended by eye doctors.

man, in the multiplayer i was always just running around with the black widow and messing dudes up, and i was consistently doing great.

Wait, Patrick is suggesting Giant Bomb take a look at Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden? I'M TOTALLY INTO THAT.

Teeechnically they looked at it at Gamespot, but not at significant length.

GIANTBOMB.DLX

lol not planetside 2?

I find myself enjoying the District 187 portions of the TNT more than the Mass Effect parts. I don't know, I didn't like the multiplayer nor did I like the game from a mechanical standpoint. At the time I was also playing Syndicate which man, sure does make Mass Effect look like a pile of dog poop when N7 Missions decided they were just going to be missions on multiplayer maps.

I wish they had shown more District 187. Mass Effect looked so clunky and Brad kept dying

I think Mass Effect did the maps right. Give all the maps for free so everybody's got them and charge micro transactions to the people who want to pay.

Might be a problem in more competitive games but I think all the gun unlocking in all multiplayer games unbalances it anyway.

Oh Brad...

Finally, ME3 multiplayer on GB! It's consumed much of my life. I love it.

No PlanetSide2 ey?

Damn it. Brad gets a Mattock and Widow right away and when I played all I got was crap weapons for the longest time.

@LegendaryChopChop: They've played it before on TNT(back when ME3 was still new).

Going to Gold that fast was not a good idea without a leveled up dude, upgraded weapons and more experience.

Don't be crazy, guys, it's Mass Effect so of course there is a way to resolve the Quarian-Geth conflict without losing either side.

Yeah that was probably my favorite part of that game when I got the Quarians and Geth to play nice with each other. It was awesome.

Was that Matt Higby that showed up halfway through the show?

Daily Madden check-in is a awesome idea. 1 minute daily series.

I said it on the chat, and I'll repeat it here.

Jeff looks like he has been through some SHIT. Is there a Fight Club in the building we don't know about?

District 187 is hood as shit

Yeah basically.

Even though I've never actually made it into a real TNT before I still felt real dirty playing 187. Jeff is correct, that game was terrible and you should not play it.

FunkyBarnBurner represent!! Bo Bo!

@Eaxis: Don't be so silly! It wouldn't be a TNT if the staff member playing wasn't being carried hard.

Nice hair Jeff. lol

Jeff always has just out of bed hair, nobody knows why.

Jeff used Gel and Hairspray to make his hair look like That.
