Unprofessional Fridays: 11/08/2013

We explore nightmares from galaxies far, far, away while also enjoying some fresh soda and not-so-fresh pizza.

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.

Nov. 8 2013

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Drew, Matt

Nice, Mount & Blade, y'all. Mount & Blade has a lot of effing mods, from what I know most of the mods for the original M&B are hosted on Desura. As of now, most of the modders for Warband use Modd or the module section of Taleworld forums.

That Soda game ... please never play it again.

Yeah, I try not to complain, and I get Jeff's love of all things "so dumb it's cool," but I just don't get that one.

Mount and Blade is insane, even without the trappings of Star Wars to make it that much weirder.

When Vinny is saying that the one footed guy reminded him of something, I think he's talking about these monsters from the Oz books. Those books always had freaky monsters. I remember there was a race of creatures with roller-skates for feet. I think there was also a race of hammer headed people. And those one legged creatures would jump around everywhere.

There was also a character in those books that was a little boy who wished he had twenty legs and it made him into this weird centipede-like human.

Yeah .. there are primarily two ways to make fun of simulator games, either by taking a really dumb subject and making a ridiculously serious simulation of it, or taking a serious subject and making it really dumb (like Surgeon Simulator). Soda Drinker Pro is a joke on too many levels to be really funny beyond seeing the texture work for the first time.

I guess it's just a difference in taste but I feel like Drew somehow always finds the most boring games in the world to play.

I dunno, it had a certain dumb charm to it. That and the pizza happenings while Jeff was playing was funny. That and Shaq O'beal rules!

Sheetz is pretty awesome. I have one less than ten minutes from my house. The food is pretty great. They have breakfast food all day long too.

Only problem is it seems a tad expensive, but its worth it to get Macaroni and Cheese bites and a 40 in the same place.

Sheetz RULES! There are 3 within 1/4 mile of my apartment in State College, PA....The food is pretty dang tasty and they have everything. Full coffee bar, pizza, nachos, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads.....you name it....they make it, and its good.

If you ever have a chance....check one out.

We Pennsylvanians fully endorse the Sheetz world take over.

Hype about Shaq is as common as people.

But that graffiti isn't just the mad etchings of your average perma-fugue fanboy. It subtly attests to a fleeting - yet no less emotionally-charged encounter with an ephemeral and poorly-understood denizen of the deep.

No. The world wasn't ready. He and his close friends knew, and that was enough. It didn't matter what Shaq's true form was. It didn't matter why he chose to show himself to them. What mattered was that he did. What mattered was that they were spirited to their destination with an otherwordly grace that imparted such unspeakable style it was alienating, radioactive. That night opened untold doors of the universe to them, but they suspected it closed equally many.

"I wonder how many more undiscovered Pokemon are out there! What do you think they're like?" He turned off his light and began to dream of the answers.

I think I preferred Unprofessional Fridays when there was a bit more actually playing the games rather than just messing around in them. Like Vinny playing Castlevania, Brad on Banjo or Ryan playing A Dogs Life.

I'm not complaining, but Unprofessional Fridays is kinda turning into a weird second podcast where the game is basically just background music that no one is really paying attention to, and then they just talk about whatever they want to.

I feel like this especially happens during Drew's segments, since he picks a game to actually play and he tries to demo it, whereas at this point Jeff, Brad, and Vinny all (to varying degree) pick games that are weird or goofy or sandboxy that they can just riff on (except in the rare weeks where an interesting game comes out but they don't Quick Look it for some reason).

Also, Desktop Dungeons really didn't seem too interesting, and the $15 asking price seems really steep.

Didn't dig the horrific modeling software Brad chose, but enjoyed the music in the background. It's either the music from Bastion or that one licensed song GB uses all the time that sounds exactly like it.

I've eaten some old ass pizza before, but not like a week old. Even I've got my limits. Maybe 3-4 days old but that's pushing it.

The mexican cola is actually much better for consumption due to having real sugar in it. High fructose corn syrup is incredibly bad for you so Americans who get to pay more for it get to be sicker for making said purchase.

@ajroo: Woah buddy, I wouldn't say all Pennsylvanians. If you are in State College and haven't gotten into a debate with fellow Pennsylvanias about Wawa or Sheetz being better I am shocked. I still remember those heated debates, I should, I only just graduated this past summer.

@boom_goes_the_dynamite:

I actually am originally from the Lehigh Valley (Easton) and grew up with Wawa. Its cool, but after having lived with both, i think....i think Sheetz is a bit better.

I just thought it was pretty cool to hear they guys from California talk about Sheetz.

I don't want to be rude but I'm having trouble watching these with Rorie coughing and clearing his throat as often as he does.
