Super Professional Fridays: 04/04/2014

We started an hour late, the sound was cut off for several minutes, and the stream crashed at the end. Mission accomplished.

Missed unprofessional Friday. Not sure if this was the entire thing but not my favorite video unfortunately. Maybe next time.

This was not done in place of Unprofessional Fridays. The normal UPF happened as well, it just isn't up at them moment. I think it was for a bit, but there was a problem with it or something. I assume that the archive should be back up before too long.

Watching Dave Lang trash-talking as he dominates makes me so damn happy.

What is even going on here in the comments?

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!!

Q&A is the most disturbing, creepiest and scariest part of any GB PAX Panel.

Well at least they are out in the open about being buddies with them. Although they did give "The Cave" from Double Fine a middling review and quick look despite them having the Brad Muir from Double Fine on all the time. So, I think if a game is fairly bad they will be willing to call it out.

I think there were audio sync issues, maybe they decided to take it down for now and fix it. Maybe reupload it next week?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I enjoyed this more than the actual unprofessional fridays from this week. I was laughing my ass off almost the entire time.

Extremely disappointed at the lack of Unprofessional Fridays for viewing/downloading before this weekend is over. It might as well not take place if this keeps happening every week. I know the regular streams don't take this long to get archived, so please fix the issue ASAP.

Well, I like Dave Lang. Unfortunately, that was about the only thing I enjoyed about that stream. Was momentarily terrified that this was going to sometimes replace Unprofessional Fridays until someone pointed out the original program still went on, but was taken down for audio sync issues.

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

Oh grow up and get thicker skin. He was obviously being lighthearted and joking around.

Why don't you go look before you think you're correct. It happened hours earlier, and the California UPF went on just fine. Check yourself kid.

I don't see it in the video page. I saw this thing live but didn't see a hint of the real show. Why don't you try being less of a dick. Where am I supposed to look exactly? Cause I'm looking right on the videos page and don't see it.

They took down the UPF video because of audio issues, will come back when they're back in the office on monday, probably. Every third comment on the first two pages of this comment section is about that.

To be fair, if they aren't going to put the new one up the same day they take the old one down, they shouldn't take the old one down. If you can watch it, you're a premium member. If you're a premium member, you can download the video. If you can download the video, you can VLC it and fix the sync issues yourself. But they took it down, and are apparently incapable of clicking an upload button on a weekend, or can't upload long videos from home.

I only now scan the comments for those guys that try to sell things so i can report them. Sadly I rarely read the comments apart from that.

The shit talking gets old really quick. Self deprecation, constant digs, and "____, son!" are not sufficient to hold a show presented to an audience (as opposed to private social interactions).

I think it's more enjoyable when people act natural and the humor derives from cleverness or from the absurdity of a situation (e.g. the usual UPF) rather than from an attempt to act and react over the top while focusing on negativity for the sake of negativity.

Shit like "You lived in SF, so I considered you less of a person" or "everyone watching this is unemployed" is not stuff I take personally, but I find them unfunny and contrived because it sounds like somebody with nothing funny to say insists on trying really hard to come up with something funny/offensive because there is an audience.

While I agree that Lang can be overbearing at times, this show was pretty funny, especially when Lang beat Patrick 9-0. And you guys are acting like the Jeff & chat wasn't trolling Max, if you were there you would know it was all fun and games. Obviously this show was rough around the edges, but they know that and they want to make it better. They need to work on their dynamic a bit, where Lang (and Patrick to an extent) can get a bit out of control. Usually they're fine though, the Spelunkin' With Scoops in the CAH and Iron Galaxy offices were really great.

Also UPF this week wasn't a riot either, so chill.
