Unprofessional Fridays: 03/15/2013

For the record, Lil Wayne did not die.

I get the distinct vibe that Drew and Patrick don't really like each other very much.

Make X-Files a Random PC Game! It deserves it.

This also reminds me that the Skate 3 TNT is both ancient and on Ustream...You gotta do another TNT of that game, you HAVE to.

No Starcraft here! YAY!

@smokey_earhole: Why do you think that?

It just got that impression, after Drew had goofed around with the TrackIR stuff saying "this is not what I wanted to show you", and Patrick goes all like "so yeah, we're not good enough for it??" in this kind of antagonistic, yo your simulation stuff is dumb-way.

And Drew just casually snapping back "I'm not even going to respond to that Patrick" (cause what else would you say to his frankly rather childish remark?). Just a weird little exchange I felt.

The PAX panel question round is so bad, its good.

@legion_: You're incorrect, they're playing Condemned 2: Bloodshot

There was a podcast/show where Brad and Patrick admitted they tried to plant the idea that they didn't like each other to mess with people. So I wouldn't look too much into it. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they tried it again, just to mess with people.

They really need to make another Skate game, and more importantly, they need to release it on PC this time (obviously with controller support).

The Condemned 2 section made me want to watch the Fear Gauntlet again. Their Condemned videos are still some of the best pieces of content associated with Giant Bomb.

That port of Decent looks like a fake video game that they would show on a TV show.

@sarumarine: Woah, what show was that?

I don't think there's anything to read into this. Drew strikes me as the kind of guy who would be too professional to indicate he disliked anyone on a livestream.

I believe if there ever was a person that Drew disliked, then that person would disappear forever. That's the impression I get from Drew.

Has Vinny always had so much bulk? He looks huge over the shoulders.

the truth is pretty out there

I remember the X-Files game, dare I say I really enjoyed how crazy it seemed to me.

It's been 4 years and I am still pretty bummed Condemned 2 isn't on PC, some day... SOME DAY!

I KNEW Ryan would be showing off the bear scene in Condemned 2. One of the best moments in any game I've ever played. Hopefully someday Monolith will get to do a third game.

And I just discovered the other day that I still own this X-Files game after thinking that I had sold it or thrown it out many years ago. I loved it as a kid and kind of want to go back to it.

holy crap. i completely missed this last night. i hope it's a good one!

Man, this just reminds me of the Fear Gauntlet for Condemned that Lemon and Bodega did 2 years ago.

I remember being thirteen years old around when this game came out and downloading some sort of x-files font pack on my dad's computer that most likely contained viruses and getting yelled at for it.

Poor Drew. He always tries to bring at least interesting and weird games and this week especially they just kinda ignored him for the entire segment and talked about other stuff :(

Mulder and Scully! My favourites <3

Between "I Love Mondays," the Bombcast late Tuesday/early Wednesday, the new nebulously-titled New Releases show on Wednesday and "Unprofessional Friday," Giant Bomb has actually compiled a pretty good regularly-scheduled lineup. Except for the recent 'Starcraft II' coverage, each show seems to cover different stuff, reducing repetition to a minimum.

You can never have enough Vinny or Drew.

Seconded!

God, I remember playing that x-files game on my playstation.

Yeah Breakdown!

Skate <3

Drew playing Descent II with that cap on looks like Joker from Mass Effect. :|

Dreamy Drew :3

This reminds me of when Adam Sessler had people thinking he hated giving Killzone 2 5 stars just from his vocal inflection. People reading into this way too much XD (skip to 4:00)

"Joe...Joe, you delusional fuck."

@drebin_893: I couldn't find it. It was awhile ago, however. I want to say it was either a mail bag or an I Love Mondays.

i find myself getting pumped up now when i see drew putting on his track i.r. hat.

I don't understand how they are soooo dismissive of games like God of War which come out with a brand new game ever 3 years. But "Saints Row 4... yah they have the benefit of doubt" when it is basically a glorified expansion pack made into a game. I'm not bashing those games, I like them lot, but it is clear the staff on this website do not stick to there guns when it comes to how they base there judgmenets on something.

Saints Row 4 is gonna come with a MALE zombie torso.

Crazy bear is great, but the second half of Condemned 2 goes down hill once they start making guns more of a focus. I still wish Monolith would get to make a Condemned 3 though.

Ryan is doing my panel at PAX East. It's Saturday at 7pm in the Naga theatre. You can read about it here: http://east.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/404ing-it-breaking-down-the-internet

If you're gonna be at PAX, please come out! It'll be funny!

@deadmeat: Play those two series. God of War progressively got more stale and boring, and Saints Row has increasingly done something new with each iteration to make itself stand out. That's why it earns the benefit of the doubt.

good show guys, too bad the 6DOF descent doesn't age well, i was finding myself sick watching it and i remember totally loving the first 2. fuck the 3rd

I saw the X-files movie in the movie theatre when I was 12. I was so scared I could not sleep that night. That black oil thing is all I remember of it now.

fucking awesome movie that barely made a lick of sense.

i mean at least it had fucking MOMENTS, unlike that abortion of a 2nd movie.

@assinass: i did notice a moment but it had to be pointed out and i'm 90% sure you guys are reading into it much more than you should. even if they have some minor beef with each other it's for them to deal with and they seemed all chummy and professional later on in the show and on the arma quick look so it just seems like w/e water under the bridge.

i'll be honest: it irks me much more how much scrutiny some people put the shows and the site under. i wouldn't have batted an eyelash if it wasn't pointed out to me.

I love that X-Files game, particularly the PSX port. It was on an ungodly 4 discs, but man it was a lot of fun.

Also, that bear sequence in Condemned 2 rates as one of my very favorite video game moments in history.

Jeff's meta-commentary on the state of video game reviews was hilarious. Yes: that is how most reviews sound. And that's sad.

Yeah, they sounded totally fine with each other in the Arma 3 Quick Look.

Jeffs awkward fan impression was fucking killer.

Ryan's smiling at 51:55 is perfect.

Although dated, I still think that X-Files intro is classic and fucking awesome.
