Thursday Night Throwdown

Thursday Night Throwdown: 04/25/2013

Dave Lang shares his oeuvre and I don't think...I...wasn't...ready...put your oeuvre away.

It's Thursday night and it's time for you to go up against us in a weekly throwdown of decidedly humble proportions.

Apr. 25 2013

I would legit play a Dreamcast version of Dive Kick, maybe a Saturn if I had one, but yeah a DC one would totally be hilarious / fantastic.

Any time Vinny fires up some "Do You Believe in Love After Life" or in this case "I Believe I Can Fly"... I can't help but wonder how much it cost them for the rights to those songs.

However much it was, it was money well spent, for sure.

Finally played some Dive Kick at C2E2 today. The hype is justified!

They asked if I knew what it was, and thanks to Dave Lang I know everything ever. Including how WCW Backstage Assault played a hand in it being the way it is.

Holy shit. Memories of playing the PSX Space Jam with my family are flooding back in. We didn't even know basketball rules but the game was a fucking blast.

Dave Lang repping Vancouver. I played the hell out of breakaway 98.

The Canucks were pretty stacked in it.

This might've been the best TNT I have seen.

Finally played Divekick at C2E2, and that tip about patience is no joke. Waiting and studying your opponent can give you huge help in a fight.

The only thing that annoyed me with the Dive Kick part is them never selecting the Dr Doom lady. PIcked every character several times, but not try her once.

I loved Breakaway 98. I haven't finished watching the video yet but I still remember using the name Jim Jung as the 99 overall CAP code.

@vinny, I got it in my head to watch this video for some reason, and I'd just like to reiterate that the final 2-3 minutes of this TNT are one of the funniest conclusions to a livestream that you have ever enabled.

This is the first Thursday Night Throwdown I've watched since becoming a premium member. Holy crap what an amazing first video to watch.

Dave Lang is a magical human being.
