Unprofessional Fridays: 01/10/2014

We raise our rocks, chainsaws, and airplanes in salute as we bid an unprofessional farewell to Ian.

The end of the week is here! You made it! Let's sit back, relax, and close the week out in style with some video games.

Jan. 10 2014

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Drew, Ian

Maybe it's time to take a break from "roll into complex, unfinished sandbox game completely unprepared and expect something entertaining to happen" show segments.

Soccer Brawl was pretty cool though and I really appreciated Ian's knowledgeable look at NetHack. Good luck at new job Ian!

I work 12 hour shifts starting at 1am on saturday. Always nice to see these get thrown up so quick. thanks guys.

Also, leave it to Vinny to break stuff quickly, lol. Had he been on the QA for Skyrim that game would have came out with 0 bugs lol.

Watching Brad play Rust proves to me what I've known for a long time now: PC gamers are no better on mics than people on XBL. That voice chat was obnoxious.

Ironically, I liked the Rust segment. Brad accomplishing jack squat and Jeff yelling at him at every turn to attack or stop running away from everything entertained me well enough.

That airplane game, though, hoo boy. I don't think that shit's meant to be taken at face value at all, which makes it weird that they're charging ten bucks for it.

I'm a big Brad fan, but watching him play Rust was one of the most frustrating experiences yet. It was like he was purposefully ignoring and trolling everyone watching and giving advice.

It's a bit tedious, but I don't hate the man. It's a game designed for patience and plotting, not something that goes well with Unprofessional Fridays. I will say that Brad seemed to avoid any potential craziness at each opportunity. He really should have just gone fast and loose with the thing, instead of trying to play it right. Having said that, I would totally watch a weekly show with Brad playing that game how it's supposed to be played, with some amount of guidance of course.

Edit: And to his credit, he was reluctant as fuck to play the game after Vinny's bit. He outright warned us that it probably wasn't the right type of game.

Brad made me never want to play Rust in my entire life. If you still haven't watched this and are reading the comments for some reason, skip Brad's part, otherwise you'll be incredibly frustrated for over 30 minutes.

wow.. that air control thing is a complete fucking joke, they are charging for it? really?

here's a snippet of what they posted on their greenlight :

"Air Control is a new-gen aviasimulator.

Speaking about the design and all-new spaces of the our airplane simulator , we can say that it gives you more freedom and realism ,you have ever seen in such kind of games before.

At first we worked at airplane's compartment.The result we have now, is so near to the real life . Working at the simulation and flights , we wanted to give players more in-flight adventures, and that is why we decided to expand horizons

of gameplay."

And the funny part is there are a lot of positive comments in there, and apparently it's on the top 100 greenlight projects...

which tells me that people are fucking idiots.

Because the alpha was so fantastic to begin with.

@bread First and worst Rust gameplay I've seen. You have a rock...you use that rock to kill. Not that hard. Cavemen back in the day (year 1) did not share. There were no laws written yet and it was every caveman for himself.
