Super Professional Fridays: 04/04/2014

God damn do I dislike this Dave Lang asshole.

Max and Lang are awesome. This was pretty good.

Hoping this is more regular than not... loved it, so professional!

I have never understood all the Patrick hate. He is a fantastic journalist he didn't get the name scoops from nowhere! As an aside I feel all his video content is an extra fantastic bonus and if that means Iron Galaxy and Cards against Humanity guys coming along for the ride then that's ok with me.

"I'm so godlike." - Dave "Shimigami" Lang.

I really enjoyed Max's little story because it seemed so pitch perfect to who Ryan was.

As for people who are getting irrationally upset about minor things:

• This is in no way going to be a regular feature.
• The Patrick hating is getting really tiring. He's a part of the site and does a good job on digging into some of the peripheral issues/topics surrounding our hobby. He works hard and produces a surprising amount of the content on the site.
• If you've been visiting the site for any substantial amount of time, it's pretty clear Giant Bomb has a special relationship with Max & Dave. I think it's great that Max let Patrick have a desk in the office, and Dave is a funny and smart guy who has contributed some great things to the site. I'm glad he apologized to Ed Boon because, well that was just a shitshow. Writing it off because it doesn't have just the people who work (or have worked) in the San Fran office is your loss.

I thought this was great and hugely entertaining. Max is an asshole in all the best ways and Dave Lang has such a larger than life personality that it's almost impossible not to go along for the ride. I'm not going to say no to more subscriber content, and think having one of these every 4-6 weeks would be fantastic.

Unprofessional CHIday

I enjoy the fact that Patrick and Alex actually mention Ryan rather than dancing around things at times. I know it's obviously been very hard on everyone, and that's probably a big step, but I look forward to the days where there isn't uncomfortable moments on the streams of the SF office. I think they inadvertently do him a disservice by not addressing some of this stuff face-on at this point.

This was a nice surprise.

The only professional thing about this stream was the shit talking. Also, GB is getting real good at perpetuating dat beef. The community is so willing to open up with their super extreme opinions about the most inconsequential dumb shit. It's like a drunk group therapy session and Jeff is the mediator who's secretly getting off on everyone's irrationality. Keep it up.

I mean, GET FUCKED SON!

This is the best.

love this Patrick, I hope you do more of this.

This makes me sad that some of the chat isn't transcribed with these. Because Jeff was talking mad shit in chat during the whole thing.

and start doing THAAAAAAAAAAAANGZ

Good stuff although a name change would be appreciated. I think you guys need a visit from Drew or Vinny just to sort out some of your tech shot though.

You should stop doing things

Where is the UPF archive?

Patrick Klepek needs to stop doing things.

This is how I like my lang zone.

People have opinions Max, Patrick knows what he's saying.

GB chat claims the fifth!

I would watch this but patricks laugh fills me with rage.

Dave Lang needs to become full time staff god damn it!

Too bad the stream crashed because this was awesome.

Want to see more of Max and Dave with the GB crew. Loving the idea of the show. Don't know about the time, but hardly watch stuff live anyways so that matters very little to me.

YO THIS MAKES UNPROFESSIONAL FRIDAYS LOOK LIKE THE STATE OF THE UNION BROADCAST

Dave Lang is on this show. Biggest contradiction to this shows title.

You could say this about nearly every article on GB. It's a weird community. On a related note, can't wait to see what socially damaged people show up to ask creepy questions at this year's PAX panel!!

God, lighten up, boyo. Also, GB chat wasn't blameless.

Don't know why anyone would be displeased with more content.

Excited to watch this.

Don't ind this at all, but two competing friday streams is gonna be a bit much. If it were another day when less is normally going on that'd be swell.

It had some audio sync problems.

In the process of uploading, was the actual Unprofessional Friday video taken off?

I wanted to catch up on it......

GET BOPPED SON

:D

Fantastic.

Always in favor of insulting the chat, also.

This was ace! More I say, more!

:)

That was fantastic. Max's laugh is amazing, too. I could watch him and Lang riffing all day.

What is even going on here in the comments? This was extremely hilarious and as for the fears that this might become a regular thing, I think that’s pretty unfounded. I don’t think any of them have enough time to make that happen. I mean, they actually mentioned their time problems in the show. I’m totally ok with something like this happening every two months or so. (I think Patrick was in that studio once before, and that was months ago.)

I’m also not sure why anyone would be insulted by what Max said. I found it pretty hilarious and I was watching the stream. I’m not saying you aren’t justified in being offended (hey, if that’s how you feel then that’s how you feel), it just seemed very consistent with the overall tone of Giantbomb and relatively harmless. (Maybe stereotyping the unemployed in the way he did wasn’t that cool. I can definitely understand that perspective.)

Dave Lang is actually a funny assed dude when he's not drunk off his balls.

This was really good. Enjoyed all games, especially the strange Chicago Lang vs bopping monsters. I hope you can stream somewhat regularly.

Oh man, the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Godlike spectacled Lang just boppin' in the Zone.

I really liked this.

Chill the fuck out people, its a website about video games.

@paindamnation: @rekon: You guys are so used to whiteknighting for Patrick and his crap that you're even jumping on guys who aren't even insulting him. Hilarious.

fantastic new show guys

guess we can't trust GB to fairly review anything from Max's and Lang's studios.

Don't like how Max insulted the GB users watching live in the beginning, and Patrick just laughed at it.

Wow, there are a lot of angry GB users around today. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you guys.

@renegadesaint: Saying "Oh, bummer" and implying you're not going to watch or are interested in the video is being negative. On the other hand, if you genuinely thought that the GB community was interested in you misunderstanding this as the traditional "Unprofessional Friday" feature, then know that no one asked or cares.

I'm not really taking to the attempts at making Chicago Giant Bomb happen. It's probably just me not taking to new faces, but turning the Cards Against Humanity & Iron Galaxy crew into GB regulars seems shoehorned.
