Unprofessional Fridays: 06/03/2016

last thing i watched before bed was mailbag with dan stuffing his face, first thing i watch when i wake up dan is still stuffing his face. Someone stop him

Brad played Doom on UPF? No way.

Re regular human basketball: Could players enter the other side's robot and mess with their controls?

They should make a video series showing how they fix that Blitz machine!

Dangerous Golf is great !

I can confirm Jason is a human

I got a much better impression of Dangerous Golf here than when the devs were playing it. Helps to have a professional videogamesman in charge, I guess.

The game's now gone from a definite avoid to a Steam sale maybe.

Regular Human Basket Ball looks awesome, I've got 4 xbox controllers somewhere..

Man, it feels good to see Dan get stomped so badly in a game...especially when he was trying to be so cocky in that one play.

Good vibes! This felt like an excellent lineup and everybody seemed to be having fun. Brad and Dan are cute together :)

I enjoyed this one. Good job guys.

I seriously love that UPF has become Brad Plays Doom.

Brad should play the snes version of doom if only to know the true meaning of pain.

why yall have to be massive jerks about fans of games you dont like

Probably cause it most likely controls like complete shit with that controller.

Cool to know the Mark Turmell bias extends to NFL Blitz as well. In NBA Jam, if you were playing as the Bulls against the Pistons, the Bulls would have their stats tanked intentionally.

Does the "HOW TO PLAY" in the Dangerous Golf Club House menu not tell you how to play?

DOOM 64 4 LYFE

I've recently been replaying it again to make a SnapMap inspired by the opening level (the code 3YUJB69S will get you to it) and enjoying it all over again. Doom 64 definitely wasn't my first Doom; I used to play the shit out of Doom II, both single and 4P LAN DM. I love it because it's so different. In an apt way, it feels like it's from another dimension. And the things it does with atmosphere and level design can be really inventive and cool.

I feel like leaving the magnet or rockets rotating on their own is what caused the most damage to your plans.

@larmer: I wish they had it during GDC and played with a bunch of developers who were in town for fun

Yeah I'm just going to wait for Dangerous Golf to be a PS PLUS game in about 2-3 months.

Doom 64 is good.

But then I've always been very fluid when it comes to the control schemes I'll accept.

Couldn't care less about American football, but the sound design in Blitz is amazing!

Jeff's shout after the first basket is too goddamn funny.

Jason was on point this episode! Awesome presence for UPF

Dangerous Golf seems to have missed the mark in every way. Thought the same during the Unfinished. I think it'd be more satisfying to get a handful of regular, traditional golf shots per level, and THEN you get to do the bouncing around destruction mode to get the things you didn't manage to hit at the end. But, yeah, that whole game is completely uninteresting to me.

I've come to the conclusion that I just don't find watching someone play any kind of Doom to be a good watch. Unless it's a speedrun, I guess. Nothing wrong with the games, just not very conducive to spectators in my opinion.

Wow, Brad and Dan got dominated haha. That was actually hilarious and awesome to watch. Not that they got dominated but just the match in general.

It was kind of weird how much the last basket looked like real basketball, like a defender posting up, getting knocked down... yeah there probably would have been a foul on that play haha.

Is "Unbreak My Tart" the greatest Toni Braxton pun ever or the only Toni Braxton pun ever?

Yeah, I'd probably even go so far as saying that games with odd control schemes are easier to remember for me, not just how to play them, but how far I got and other details as well, whereas all the games with the Call of Duty control scheme that have been released in recent years kinda blend together for me, making it really hard to remember which is which and what I was doing if I don't play the campaign for an extended period.

@brad There is a Brutal Doom mod for Doom 64. You should check that out....For science.

Oh my god the Real Human Basketball segment was so good!! I was dying when Brad and Dan lost their ship as it was flying away.

Oh man... hearing Brad murder the name Mesquite, TX hurt me on the inside lol. It's pronounced Mis-skeet. Oh well, id moved to a better city just down the road a few years back and see their building pretty much when I take my family out to eat.

My GOTY 2016 (of the games I played)

Hyper Light Drifer

Stardew Valley

Far Cry Primal

MAN, Blitz was good.

DooM 64 does have a PC port program like zDooM. It solves all my problems with the controls.

The videos of new Doom sent me down a k-hole of 90's shooters the last couple weeks. I played Doom II, Brutal Doom, and tons of other mods, including Doom 64 EX.

Playing Doom 64 up-rezzed in GZDoom with mouse and keyboard is excellent. This is the mod's homepage if it's okay to share: https://doom64ex.wordpress.com/downloads/ (There is one missing illegal piece they obviously can't include in the download)

The music for Doom, Quake, and Quake 2 on consoles is all weird and awesome. The soundscapes were done by this guy named Aubrey Hodges very much in the creepy ambient/industrial style of NIN's Quake soundtrack. https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/album/doom-64-official-soundtrack

Why was this UPF 30 minutes shorter than usual? I hope it won't be going forward...

I have no Idea what that basketball game even was haha!

Yup, everything Jeff had to say about Doom 64 was predictably elitist nostalgia-tinged nonsense. I mean, I have no horse in this race. I never played Doom 64 and don't think the original is particularly great except for the music. But pretty much anything that's a new take on an old favorite of his will get dismissed or critiqued far more harshly than is deserved.

I mean, what kind of critique is "This N64 game is shit because it's not the PC version. If you're a kid with an N64, get a PC."
