Unprofessional Fridays: 06/20/2014

After getting the Vib-Ribbon rug pulled out from under us at E3, we take matters into our own hands.

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.

Jun. 20 2014

Is Brad becoming Alex Kidd on purpose?

I'm happy that time proved that I was right, and my stupid toshinden loving friends were blind!

Even Virtua Fighter 1 is leaps and bounds superior in gameplay.

Bad fighting games are the worst things to watch.

Disappointed with the lack of Tombi! and Crime Killer. Well, PS1 staples for me at least.

Its pretty lame you guys just played fighting games for the first hour, but you made up for it with Siphon Filter.

Ehh they could've picked Tenchu, the best set of ninja games ;) My favourite PS1 games.

Peter knows his stuff. Great guest. Could listen to him and Jeff talk games all day. Nice boost of energy compared to Brad and Rorie who usually sleep through UPF :p

I know. It's so good. I'll definitely be picking up a copy of this when I get a Retron 5 someday. Did any other Famicom carts make use of the chip?

I love it when Giant Bomb hooks up a classic system and Jeff pulls out a tub o' carts (or CDs). Wish they'd do it more often!

Having only the perspective of retrospect (having never played it myself when it came out) I'm not convinced of Syphon Filter one bit. That game looks like such an also-ran, especially looking back. It's to its credit it has something weird about it even if it is that janky run animation.

Holy shit, that sound chip made those Konami drums somehow even more Konami drum-esque as fuck.

Never heard this before, I love it.

I hope Jeff's PlayStation box can be a recurring thing. I would guess that, seeing how many weird titles that console pumped out, this would fit perfectly for giantbomb.

Sega and Nintendo consoles has the nostalgia market on lockdown on youtube and such, so I vote for a change.

I'm happy to finally see Vib Ribbon. Though I REALLY want Gitaroo Man 2. Or more Bust a Groove.
