Unprofessional Fridays: 07/17/2015

Friday! Friday! Friday! The boys all play around with some monster trucks (except Brad who plays a princess game). It's unprofessional! Be there!

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.

Jul. 17 2015

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Drew, Dan

This commercial would air all the time during ECW on TNN. I guess it worked because I rented it for the nWo trucks.

The N64 version of Monster Truck madness looks like a bad port of the PC version. Also Larry Huffman was a motocross announcer.

Man Jeff matched his shoes with his shirt perfectly. I kinda hope he bought those shoes just to wear with that shirt.

The weight in Zero Tolerance isn't in "space pounds" it's kilograms.

Please tell me i'm not the only one who noticed that "Last Battle" was totally Fist of the North Star.

I'm pretty sure they said that right away.

I was referring to the fact that I experienced the problem having downloaded the HD version. Seems that the HD version is borked, download or streaming. The high quality worked for me to the end.

I would like to throw my Zelda hat in the ring and agree with both Dan and Jeff while simultaneously disagreeing with them by saying that both Zelda II and Majora's Mask are good games.

Manual transmission is better than automatic. (I know it's not for commuting or in cities, but whatever). More fun to drive.

Until we get self driving cars.

There is a reason Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, etc ONLY sell automatics. THEY ARE FASTER. Automatics are faster, stronger, more reliable, etc. Volkswagen has the fastest shifting transmission in the world and paired the fastest speed shifter against a guy who planted his foot, and the guy who planted his foot won every single time.

If you're having issues with the HD archive after download, just download the "High" quality video and you'll have the full archive to enjoy.

Zero Tolerance is the first game I've watched that's given me motion sickness. It was fine for about a minute and then I nearly lost it.

Oh man, some of my favorite early memories of mods and online multiplayer are with Monster Truck Madness 1 and 2. Midtown and Motocross Madness were great for both mods and multi as well. I miss those games.

I like the progression from Dan thinking spark plugs raise and lower windows to wanting to build a monster truck.

Never stop being you, Dan.

Am I the only one that is constantly amazed by how little Dan knows about just life and this world we live in and how it works? Doesn't know what a transmission is and didn't know what a mortgage was just to name the two that come to mind (there is at least one thing every show he is in of any length). I mean if Dan was 12 or something I could understand which is why I am becoming more and more convinced that Dan is a 12 year old trapped in a upper 20 year old's body like the movie BIG or something. I can't think of any other explanation given his ignorance on most things.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the guy like you would your dumb cousin who is a super nice guy. <3 I wouldn't want him to change one bit but the witchcraft that has trapped him in this body needs to be uncovered!!

Spirit Tracks is not the worst Zelda game by far, though I will admit some personal bias as I absolutely adored that game. I wasn't a huge fan of Phantom Hourglass or Minish Cap. I also found huge stretches of Minish Cap tedious.

Minish Cap is one of my favourites. My top 5 is: Wind Waker, Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds, Minish Cap and Twilight Princess. That's right, Ocarina isn't in my top 5. I like OoT, don't get me wrong, I just like other Zeldas more.

Why can't I choose my video quality when using the html 5 player? I've dropped flash from my system and would prefer to drop the quality for bandwidth reasons.

I think Zelda 2 is actually my favorite Zelda game. Which probably illustrates how I don't really like Zelda games all that much.

Yes. I approve of this list 100%. OoT was great at the time but it has aged poorly compared to WW or TP. Or rather the other two have iterated and improved upon almost every aspect.

I personally also have a soft spot for the early Gameboy (Color) games, Link's Awakening and the two Oracles.

This Genesis FPS is reminding me of the indoor levels of Jurassic Park for SNES.

The Monster Truck Madness PC games were great. The N64 version is hot garbage.

I feel like an island when I say that Link's Awakening is my favourite Zelda game, and by quite a way.

I don't get what all the complaints about the movement in W3 was about. I got comfortable with it within a couple hours. Glad they offered the option to change the movement to people that didn't like it though.

Update: Same result when streaming the HD version. It cuts off about 15 minutes before the end (When they start the first game of Mean Bean Machine), so I'd assume it doing the same thing as when I download it. I was able to see the last few minutes by switching to High quality.

I don't know why they care so much about getting the Retron to read the cart, if it says "unknown cartridge" it'll still play just fine.

Wowwww, I remember playing a bunch of Crush Hour for some reason. Haven't thought about it in years though. Great show!
