Unprofessional Fridays: 01/31/2014

This might sound horrible, but it's too bad Danny has a job...

GB needs duders and he is nothing if not that.

Was that a shout out to RPS' John Walker?

Age of Barbarian is so so so amazing.

Vinny's performance in that last Nidhogg match was crazy

It was the best birthday gift i could've wished for.

This was a fantastic UF. Great to see Danny and Alexis on the show. Also:

@alexisg Happy Birthday!

Danny is pretty much the only gamespot guy that can sit with GB and not look awkwardly uncomfortable.

Also Vinny playing Age of Barbarian brought me so much joy!

Strangely arousing.

If you want to have your own Alpaca adventure:

Pretty fun, I finished it with 34 deaths.

Vinny's last spike death was hilarious.

The spawns in Nidhogg are suspect. Sometimes it'll wait a good five second to spawn, and other times the person will spawn instantly, right on top of the player with the advantage,

Okay, I feel like I need to defend the shower beer. First - good beer in a bottle. Second, it's an occasional thing, and the perfect example is after shoveling a metric shitton of snow. You're hot, sweaty, need a shower, but also need a beer after the manual labor. I realize that's not a situation that pops up in San Francisco without the intervention of Jonny Moseley's imagination, but I think post-manual labor is the perfect time for a shower beer.

That Alpaca game looked genuinely neat. I expected it to just be a half-assed platformer with GB reference humour. That was more interesting to watch than half of the weird Steam stuff they dredge up.

Ta dah!

oh man. I can't watch this. Alexis is too awkward..... :S

Any time is a good time for a beer in Louisiana. We don't need much in the way of excuses.

Hmm, let's watch Unprofessio-OH GOD BRAD WHY *cringe*

@veggiesbro: Sweet, thanks!

Shower beer is one of those great odd pleasures that's probably hit or miss - but if it hits, it's really relaxing.

Shower beer is awesome!! Fuck it . You only live once just drink Shower beer. Don't be ashamed of shower beer.

Danny is the best!

What is Jeff playing with all of those games on it? More to the point, where can I buy that collection???

Jeff has made me regret not playing that Tetris and Blitz 99 cabinet last night. I'm very tempted to go back to that bar tonight just to play the shit out of those.

Damn, I goddamn straight up love Danny O'Dwyer. Dude is a class act. So boss how he got up and got some glasses for the boys. Wishing someday the he becomes a Giant Bomb staff regular...

@extragingerbrew: You said it! They are undermanned so they could def. use him!

This fucking barbarian game. My lord.

The Age of Barbarian II indiegogo campaign apparently made over $200 after this show, and that's a good percentage of the entire amount they have at the moment.

@brad You might be color blind duder. Unless it looks a lot different on your TV in studio those Nidhogg characters are totally yellow-greenish and teal. Maybe check out your TV settings. Or maybe my monitor is fucked up. I dont know. What is color really?

Ah, love the extended discussion of the logistics of the shower beer. I have visited that subreddit, and its far sexier counterpart ShowerBeerGoneWild, and I agree that any "real" showerbeer would just get too much shower water into the mouth of the receptacle. Unless you put beer into some sort of tightly sealed squeeze bottle.

Great show. Danny is man's best friend.

When I was a kid sinistar scared the crap out of me. I played it on the PS1.

LOL! Slow motion instant God Fuck replay! hahahaha!

Nidhogg is such a great game for these shows. Even just a 15-20 minute tournament is awesome.

That Age of Barbarian game is clearly attempting to make Barbarian II for the "modern day". Except it seems that old C64/Amiga game controls better. I kinda wish someone made a good one. =)

I thought that too, but he clicks it at ~0:31:40 and it doesn't do anything.

"It's a really shiny basketball"

I get it Brad...I get it.

Good god I love Danny! Also, a great UF (for a change)!

Danny!

Vinny is the best Nidhoggist.

Loadout has really cool art direction, its like 3d Shank.

I miss Windjammers...

Brad, Bookers is my absolute favorite bourbon, but as I am stuck overseas until 2015 and the Europeans tend to shy away from hair-on-the-chest levels of bourbon proofage I can only drink it vicariously through employees at my favorite gaming website. Add a couple spoonfulls of water, really makes it tasty and less....chemical burny.

Vinny is undisputed Nidhogg champion.

Another really funny show this week. I think it's really cool that so many of you guys seem to know at least one person from Guam. Why you might ask? Because I too am from Guam. I spent most of my life in Inalahan. The word for the indigenous people as well as the language is Chamorro. Guamanian is a more general term for anyone who lives there but not necessarily of the ethnicity.

I've lived in LA for the past decade and haven't exactly loved my time here. It wasn't until I visited my mom in Hawaii last summer that my body has felt the calling of the blood. I'm not financially stable enough to move back to an island environment and it makes me sad. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Best UPF in a while. So much variety that even Brad was intrigued.

@amyggen: A lot of people ask Jeff where he gets specific shirts on his Tumblr, and he seems to answer quite often--probably your best bet!

The campaign video is amazing.
