Why have they stopped doing TNT ? Is it because of Ryan's passing ? And why haven't they brought it back yet ? Have they said anything on the matter ?

There's a tumblr response from Jeff, let me dig it up.

EDIT: Nevermind, I misremembered, it was about I Love Mondays. It's still sorta relevant though:

Is "I love mondays" gone for good? I know you guys wanted to change some things around the office (understandably so) but I miss those "low production" and relax videos.

This is the first week that we’ve decided to try and plan out a full week on Monday again, and it felt OK. Not sure what we’ll bring back and what’ll stay gone at this point.

But why did they stop doing it in the first place ? It would be weird if it were because of Ryan, seeing as they didn't stop doing Professional Fridays. TNT was popular, so I'm at a lost.



Thanks.

I think ILM/TNT were Ryans ideas?

Also, has there even been any games in the past month that were worth doing a TNT for?

After Ryan's passing they halted all live shows for obvious reasons. UPF came back after a few weeks.
 
I think they just got bored of TNT - so when they were having to force themselves to go back to making content for the job, there was little enthusiasm for TNT.

Brad said on the podcast that Brothers would be in his top 10 games of the year for him for sure. Then Vinny pressed him on how it was only August, and how cynical Brad was to think there is no chance of 10 other games surprising him this year.

Even though I realize they were mostly just ribbing him, Brad was right.There really aren't that many excellent games that come out of nowhere, and a lot of the known stuff isn't out until 2014 or sort of known qualities, like the next Splinter Cell/Assassin's Creed etc.
 
Just finished the Powerbombcast. You can tell these guys stopped watching in the mid-2000s if they think Batista undeservedly took Orton's spot or whatever, dude was the goddamn greatest. Everyone expected that Wrestlemania match with Undertaker to suck and it was FUCKING AWESOME. That final heel run where he basically turned into Kanye West. My word.

Also Roman Reigns isn't that bad.
 
I am of the opinion that don't do a segment/feature/show if you aren't excited about what you are showcasing. Patrick's Scoopin with Scoops is such a joy to watch because as a viewer you can feel his enthusiasm for what he is showcasing. Today's UPF, in contrast, just felt like it was a chore for both the crew and us as an audience. This week's Breaking Brad even more so. Just cancel that feature.

This. I'd rather they'd just stick to stuff they actually want to play, rather than something bad just to make fun of it.

Breaking Brad needs people to shame Brad into wanting to do better,
 
Holy shit, I just watched the Spookin' With Scoops with Imscared, man is that game terrifying. I can't believe people willingly play through that kind of stuff.

EDIT: So Patrick says in the video that he wants to bring Imscared to Unprofessional Friday that week (which would be 5/24/13), but the archive shows no UPF for that week. Did the UPF get canceled? Or did it happen but wasn't archived?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's not among the subscriber videos, but I found it searching manually on google.
