Even they can't save double TNTs. "Hey look something cool is happening SWITCH SWITCH oh it's gone" and 50% of the screen is constantly cluttered.

I think we are the only two who loathe the two-games TNT's

edit: or not.

 

[Backfoggen]

The people who loathe and despise Giant Bomb for reviewing Harmonix & Double Fine games despite being buddies with some of the people there are popping up in the Dorito Drama thread, although the most vociferous one already got banned.

Video games are some serious stuff man.

The part of the double TNT's is dislike the most is the fact that they are on different sets, the amount of cross-talk is un-fucking-bearable.

 

[Treythalomew]

split screen TNT again? gonna skip it.

I dislike split screen TNTs too but it is obvious why they exist. Anytime they actually sit down and play a game that isn't full of nonstop hijinks the chat implodes. I'm ready for everyone to complain when they play Halo 4 or Black Ops 2 because it is boring. They need to appeal to these ADD kids.

 

[darkressurection]

Oh, looks like they just put up the promo for the Farming Sim Live QL. Hope we get to see some No Scope Cornshots

yea, the ADD kids can enjoy it. i'll do something else.

 

[shadyspace]

The Double Fine and Harmonix love can get grating if only because of overexposure but I'd never accuse the GB guys of bias towards them.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I didn't really Umineko's art, even tho I found the story intriguing, but the art really killed it for me.
I did watch the Anime, which made me wish they'd just remake the game with new artwork, but then again the story was already spoiled for me.

The PS3 games are basically this...

 

[cjkeats]

If they're gonna do a double TNT, at least do something along the lines of creeper Jeff.
That is one my my things in GB history.

 

[Data West]

Uh... yeah, they are. It's not the 90s anymore. It's a major field with a lot of money invested in it.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I kind of wish for TNT, they'd have one game on the main stream, and another on the premium stream, kind of like BLLSL Dave cam. That way, if you want the second game only, you get it, and if they switch to the second game in the main feed, then can put the first game on the premium feed.

I like that idea but it's probably more work to produce.

 

[jediyoshi]

good lord this is a nightmare to watch

 

[xxracerxx]

Whoops.

 

[Backfoggen]

Not serious enough to care that much about how ONE site handles the reviews of a handful of games.

 

[Typographenia]

Just started watching, and Ryan getting so angry at the machine breaking down is what I needed.

Some of the comments were actually pretty funny, at least one of them was an obvious troll.

TBH I've never cared for how cozy they are with DF and HMX but it doesn't impact their review scores so ultimately it's a 'who cares' thing.

Either one of these would be fine. All of the double TNT's they've done recently have been fairly awful, they don't even have the decency to make one of the games at least full screen and just flip that way most of the time, so you can't even really see what's going on a lot of the time on either game.

They either need to just stop doing it outright, take one of the suggestions above, or just switch games completely halfway.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

I can't be alone in thinking Farming Simulator actually looks really fun? Like, in a lazy Sunday gaming kind of way?

 

[waypoetic]

The sound keeps cutting out for me. Anyone else?

 

[SteveWinwood]

You could have gotten the new one for 7 bucks a few days ago during a pricing mistake.

That's how I own it now.

 

[waypoetic]

OFF DA CHAAAAAIIIIN!

 

[SJRB]

Mowstep, hahaha. Awesome.

 

[Infinite Justice]

It's not my money that is invested in video game companies (I merely buy their products), so why do I have to get bent out of shape about some perceived lack of "equal coverage" in regards to an entertainment product? I pay for GiantBomb to get interesting, laid-back content - if they focus too much on Harmonix and Double Fine, so be it. I don't care whether all publishers/developers get equal coverage or not on GiantBomb.com.

I'm able to form my own opinions: Sometimes I agree with the GB crew, sometimes not. This whole Eurogamer-fiasco is on a completely different level.

And yes, plenty of games journalists and PR people have gotten much too close (something Leigh Alexander frequently criticises in her columns, and GB is certainly not innocent of as their relationship with Harmonix shows). But I somehow feel like GiantBomb was never that much of a journalistic outlet anyway. In general the guys strike me as pretty authentic in their opinion of games.

 

[bionicpuppy]

We'll be doing more of a "check in" with the other game and take some breaks rather than constantly showing both at once. I agree, the crosstalk stuff is too much. Folks just can't contain themselves!

 

[derFeef]

A wild ? appears!

Dammit Vinny, just when I was gonna give up, you pull me back in. I feel like Jeff now.

 

[Data West]

oh my god, we've been vinny'd

 

[Willkiller]

:lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[OMG Aero]

Fuck Unreal Tournament and their shady tactics, I'd vote for Brad.

 

[LiK]

Wow @ that opening lol

 

[S1kkZ]

has brad a grey beard?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Probably the best TNT opening ever.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Do they EVER have a TNT on the PS3? Seriously. I can never play with these guys because they only play 360 games. Is it that hard to play the PS3 version of a multiplat game once in a while?

Neither of these games are on PS3.

And whenever they usually try to do PS3 TNTs, no one showed up.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Ryans analog sticks... so loud.

Would rather watch Patrick play that game with the awesome music tbh.

 

[netBuff]

And whenever they usually try to do PS3 TNTs, no one showed up.

There were plenty of people playing Uncharted 3 with them for TNT. Twisted Metal was pretty sparsely populated though (but not only was that multiplayer completely busted in terms of connecting, it also wasn't the most popular of games).

 

[derFeef]

Hey Patrick, I hope you noticed, but Hotline Miami is running only half the speed it should. Horrible to watch.

 

[xxracerxx]

Your steam seems like it is 3 minutes slow since they already talked about it.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I almost forgot about the Octobercast. That starts tomorrow?

 

[Curufinwe]

Fair haired guys in their 30s are prone to getting white and grey hairs in their beard that become noticeable after a week or so of growth.

 

[LiK]

correct!

 

[MattDoza]

Hotline Miami soundtrack is so good! I would have never discovered this if not for it being here on TNT.

 

[Krabboss]

All the grandpas comin' out to complain about them double TNTs have forced the rest of us to be stuck watching a boring game.

 

[Volcynika]

Ugh. That earlier music near the start of the stream from Hotline Miami is terrible.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ugh. That earlier music near the start of the stream from Hotline Miami is terrible.

Nope.

Goddamn though, gotta get the soundtrack for this. So good.

 

[Volcynika]

Nope.

Goddamn though, gotta get the soundtrack for this. So good.

Yep! If that's the soundtrack, I don't see any reason to buy it.

 

[Fox Mulder]

They need to do zombies or cat and mouse type games in horizon too.
