Unprofessional Fridays: 08/16/13

thought this one was kinda boring, but hey the first couple of minutes were absolutely magnificent so it's all good!

wow! i had tears of laughter within 1 min. A new record! Thank you guys

If Brad starts a sentence with "Someone sent me a link on twitter about..." you better eat your lunch fast.

I know a lot of game still haven't come out yet, but no way there are 10 other games that are good as Super Drake Tracker 2000 EX, so it's a obvious GOTY.

Damnit, I need to start watching these things live again !

I was thinking, how old is Mario and Luigi considered? Like in their 20s 30s 40s? what?

@dogbertz: that's what she said

As someone who's spent a lot of time working in kitchens, one of the first things you learn about basic knife skills is you're actually more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife because it's more likely to catch or slip. Avocados are just one of those things where you just need to be careful. Or you could always go crazy safety and get a cutting glove. It's basically a chainmail glove you wear on the hand not holding the knife so you pretty much can't cut yourself, I've only encountered them in use in big commercial kitchens though.

I think people who dislike avocados are WEIRD.

I eat avocado almost every day, and I couldn't imagine my life without it, easily my number one favorite fruit. (That sounded weird, but I'm serious)

Thats what she said.

Wait. What's so hard about cutting avocados? Hell, a butter knife will work on those things.

I love that intro.

The Play Store has 99% of the apps on the App Store, and a ton of apps more that are exclusive. Plus a lot of times the apps are cheaper or free, when you need to pay on the App store like Whats App.

All this bashing of Android is ridiculous.

I work at a local coffee shop and do food prep every morning, so I cut avocado every day. The challenge with cutting avocado is developing a technique for dealing with the pit without harming the rest of the avocado. While you could likely cut through a ripe avocado with a butter knife or other dull edge, you would not be able to remove the pit without also damaging the avocado. There's some pretty simple techniques out there for safely and easily removing pits.

It's probably for the same reason they don't say racial slurs or homophobic jokes, because theres a difference between being crass and being offensive about something that people cannot control

Best intro ever

Outstanding intro, so much belly laughter.

@peteisfat said:

Yep.

its been great to see random pc games on the friday shows but i'd really like to see them get their own segment again

That bass sounds AMAZING with my ps3 wireless stereo headset.

@stimpack: Step 1: have a twitter account (if you don't already)

Step 2: follow @GiantBombLive

Step 3: make sure you link your phone number to twitter and set it so you receive a mobile notification (aka text message) whenever @GiantBombLive tweets

Then you will get a text every time any stream goes live on the site. It's idiot-proof.

Headshot city here we come!

BALLS OUT E-SPORTS

@slab64: Thanks, I know about that already, but I haven't done it. I watch them live often enough that it isn't a big deal. I just thought it was strange, because I was already on the site and never saw anything saying that chat was up. I must have barely missed it or something.

In case anyone else was confused, the Halo Wars question was an obscure reference to a minute earlier when Drew and Alexis were talking about playing Halo games.

Ah 2 mins in and laughing, this is what I need.

media training! so good

@liquidprince: It's all from ignorance.

I remember Frankenstein when I started working for EB in '98. There was always at least one dusty copy on the bottom shelf. I was a little sad the day it was moved to the clearance bin or pennied out, I can't remember how it met its fate.

@alibambam: It's the same when he talks about the OS on Sony consoles.

Now that's how you start a show

ESPORTS!

Did Vinny basically said they have a debug PS4 in the office?

I don't need any more than the first few minutes, that was awesome!

the frankenstein game so boring

Solid media training, Vinny.

That goddamned hilarious intro definitely proved to me that the subscription I just bought is totally gonna be worth it.

It will be. Oh yes.

Also, I never expected to start cheering when WIndows 98 makes a surprise appearance somewhere, but here we are.

Vinny : Loves everyone

Jeff : Despondent

Rorie : Happy to have a job

Brad : Happy, but not fond of Rorie

Drew : Peacekeeper, but not sure about Rorie.

The most premium of content

Yo son, the past tense of hang is hanged - "I was hung" means exactly what the guys were insinuating it means.

Also, that game looks like hot garbage.

Only Brad would attempt to show off such a tutorial-heavy game as Dream Team by playing the first sections of the game on a live show.

Thanks to Mike Kob for making this, and Jeff for tweeting it out. Talk about an incredible intro.

Also @rorie's dog noises are the best. Always. And Luigi is the superior Mario Brother.

Never thought I'd hear the Bomb Crew talk about Foyle's War.

WOW

@chipotle: Accurate.

Damn it, Brad, stop bring up gross shit, you butthole.

Oh, god. That intro, amazing! :D
