They sure are taking off like wildfire.

Gee, I sure hope we get another 20 minutes of shitting all over Castlevania next week, guys !

It's a boring-ass game that runs like shit. It deserves it.

Opinions !

It running like shit isn't an opinion, it is a fact. The frame rate hovers at 20-22 frames and drops into single digits regularly. That is running like shit.

PS3 version was fine, but yeah it's not the smoothest game ever. However, it being boring-ass certainly sounds like an opinion to me.

Anyway, not looking to start an endless debate here.

I watched this live.

2013: Where you stay up until 4 AM to watch someone over the internet do the start-up procedure for a virtual plane.

I would like to buy the Jeff Gerstmann audio book version of Space Jam.

After a month or two has passed and Jeff has finally finished reading the entire thing on camera, it would be criminal if someone didn't collect all the audio to put it together into one piece.

Goddamn this was tremendous.

I'll gladly keep paying if this continues to be a weekly thing.

@Dezztroy: I am in complete agreement! Keep this magic up!

Jesus, this is some of the best content ever.

Indeed. Great feature!

Am i the only one with HD problems? black screen.

Coconut water is not that good. I've only tried it once and that was directly from a coconut when I was in Brazil and it has a really weird taste. But it is really healthy.

So, Unprofessional Fridays is the new Whiskey Media Happy Hour. Another year of subscription then.

Jesus, this is some of the best content ever.

they should make ryan and vinny running through drew's flight procedures a regular occurrence on this thing. only next time, put him in a separate room with just a video feed and no audio, so he has to watch them bumble through it. or better yet, just put ryan and vinny in a sealed room with everyone else watching.

edit: another thought- just put vinny in the isolated room and give him a headset with ryan on the other end. it would be glorious.

Better idea - start the simulation already in-flight and have Ryan try to get Vinny trough the landing procedure trough only a headset.

Mini Flight Club and Space Jam readings were tied for high point of the evening. Great video, dudes!

If I could get a taste of Flight Club every Friday I will die a happy man.

Loving Unprofessional Fridays XD now all we need is for next week to have 'Cooking with Drew' (also loving the Space Jam book) :D

Guy City? i thought it was called San Francisco.

Yeah ! Another awesome show, best when everyone is together!

P.s. Patrick is still terrible at video games...

Was Jeff playing Beverly Hills Cop on an emulator? Looked like he was using a 360 pad.

That Beverly Hills Cop game is a MASTERPIECE!

THIS IS GREAT

Seing Patrick play Mirrors Edge made me realize he might be the new Brad. His ability not to read what the game is telling him to do is amazing.

Jeff yelling at Ryan to stop interrupting his Space Jam reading is one of the greatest moments in the history of the site internet.

Fixed.

That IS a better idea. That they should very much implement.

And yeah, fantastic fuckin' show you guys. This has been a pretty great addition to the content

Haha same here, tried my best not to fall asleep but man, this was some good stuff. Totally worth the lack of sleep.

Never forget.

Man, this easily blew even last weeks excellent first episode out of the water. Delivering all the very best parts of GB in one massive, thouroughly enjoyable feature!

Not sure how the planned wednesday-content is going to to top this, SINCE IT'S PURE GOLD! Job well done!

I think this stream started about the same time as my birthday - best birthday ever!

We got off the ground ! lmao classic

Totally missed this

"...doing the multi console dance." Man, ending it with a subtle reference to the soundtrack. Just one of the many reasons GB rocks I suppose.

We can finally let Brad retire and crown Patrick as "worst at video games" at the GiantBomb office. To struggle soo much on that first level of Mirrors Edge haha oh classic..

LoS is a great game but please, Vinny, never play it again on camera if you're not willing to look up the controls. This was just as painful to watch as last week's LoS segment. Jumping right into the middle of it after not playing the game for almost two years was the worst idea.

I love these Unprofessional Fridays! MOAR!

I don't usually talk about any of the guys being bad at games, but good god, how is Patrick so bad at Mirror's Edge if he liked it so much? That tutorial level is incredibly easy and he failed like 20 times.

Hi Brad..............fuck you Brad.

I would pay for audiobooks read to me by Jeff!

Totally Stealth.

I hope Vinny's LoS playthrough becomes a weekly thing, otherwise a Fantastic video that really sells on what Giantbomb offers for Premium members.

It's the only time in the history of the universe Vinny has done something wrong. At least Patrick got a taste of it with fucking up Mirrors Edge. Sadly two divisive games that I love...

@EarthBowl: I really don't. A part that should normally take about 5 minutes maximum already filled two segments. It's not very fun to watch Vinny struggling with the games puzzles because he forgot everything. And don't blame him for not remembering the controls, Gabriel's powers etc. but he either should've started from the beginning then or played by himself for a while before playing it for this segment. I really expected him to be prepared this week after what he tweeted last week but astonishingly he was just as clueless as on last week's show.

What are you talking about? Load our last save is a great feature, because it works. It's not always a bad idea.

@Soulrivers: It was a very bad idea in the case of LoS.

That was glorious. Simply put.

I absolutely disagree; I had a blast watching this. I really don't understand how watching some dudes trying to play a game could be "painful" as you say.

I think i would still rather play that Beverly Hills Cop game then watch Beverly Hills Cop 3.
