Unprofessional Fridays: 12/08/2017

Get ready and get cozy for another rousing week of UPF! There's some PUBG, there's some sneakin', a weird baby(?), and we're joined by an OG duder!

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.

Dec. 8 2017

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Ben, Dan, Abby

I'm glad Jeff stopped Brad showing the Getting Over It run again. I was pretty disappointed when they showed that before. Just think how satisfying it would be to discover where that game goes after all that effort and all those hours, and contrast that with blithely watching a video of someone doing it as quickly as possible. I mean, sure, look it up if you want to, but just throwing it into the show on a whim seemed like a shitty move.

It has been somewhat of a trying year in terms of every video game related content outlet doing a ton of PUBG content. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having lots of coverage of an EXTREMELY popular game as it will please the majority but it's just unfortunate for some of us who don't care about that particular game at all.

There, now that I got that off my chest I can live with seeing PUBG everywhere next year too. Sorry for being whiny, folks.

Its all good man other than Destiny, PUBG has easily been the most i have either just been completely bored or actively hated watching a game. Then seeing everyone freak out about poorly climbing up a surface and saying how good everything looks when it seems so bland.

Oh well im glad everyone can enjoy themselves but i feel like most of there tastes arent aligning with mine anymore and im actually for the first time thinking of dropping my subscription and maybe taking my money to a place like Easy Allies.

I cannot for the life of me understand why everyone is orgasmic over a damn desert map. I get it, PUBG nuts have been clamoring for new content but...what's so amazing about this?

But....double doors! And apparently the graphics are good (vs. just mediocre).

Are all Metal Gear fans like Dan? Because everything he spewed out of his mouth was plain stupid in regards to Metal Gear. "It's like philosophy" wat

Would have been great if they had prepared an Eastern Block game that Dave could play; Instead of just wasting his appearance on crap.

Any extended Kojima discussion at Giant Bomb is annoying to listen to because no one on staff pronounces his name correctly. Take a cue from how they say Majima in Yakuza, and stop stressing that middle syllable.

Haha always so cool to see people you respect play your game... it's gut-wrenching and humbling all at the same time!

And I must echo the sentiment.... SO glad to see Dave there!

Can I ask what you worked on?

It honestly just gives us a chance to find other unique personalities who are content providers. Lord knows I'll never run out of footage of stuff to watch, but acquiring multiple favorites leaves you less bitter when they fire up a game that you really don't gel with so you can bounce to another one of your home boys.

I miss Dave. Everything he did with Vinny (and Drew) was pure gold.
