Unprofessional Fridays: 03/01/2019

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN! Or at least let unprofessionalism continue!

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.

Despite the expected Rorie hate that seems to come with all of these. Let me echo, Rorie is awesome.

Here's your hot March Madness scoop:

1. Don't mess with ACC - Virginia, North Carlolina and Duke will go far. Virginia Tech is nothing to mess with, they will throw your offense away. SU is a wildcard.

2. PAC12. Watch out for Washington.

3. Houston defense reigns supreme. They could upset a lot of teams.

4. Buffalo is crazy good and has a solid team of seniors.

5. Kentucky is a big strong team that will destroy

6. Gonzaga is itching for a championship.

7. Texas Tech ain't nothing to mess with.

That's all. Enjoy your Friday duders.

It's okay @rorie I also heard Arnold PalmTrees. I'm gobsmacked that any discussion of tiki bars in the SF Bay Area doesn't begin and end with The Tonga Room in the dank basement of the Fairmont Hotel.

@hippie_genocide: Tonga room is really cool but the bartenders are super stand-off ish and the crowd is weird rich people. I didn’t like the vibe. But the history of the place is wild. And our Scorpion bowl was tasty.

Probably going to get banned for being honest, but Rorie's all-over-the-place rambling is irritating and exhausting and I always end up closing out of any stream he's on in under a minute. Nothing against the dude personally, but cripes. :/

“The site redesign has been received well” is like hearing a community manager of a poorly received game say they’ve seen positive feedback.

I absolutely love that Brad got the Balder Side Sword, a coveted 1% drop that some players grind for hours on end to get, randomly during a throwaway UPF segment.

I'm pretty sure Brad didn't know what chat dot come was when he said "Go to chat dot com." Probably don't know now either, and he's not really missing much.

@illrepute: It's 50/50 for most people around here. I'm generally not a fan of the lack of direction without Jeff. But, I still watched the whole thing anyways.

@tr0n: I love Rorie, but ya...I had a look of o_O when I heard that. I assume he is just kidding, but I have some friends that were ruined by that stuff.

@big_denim: “Painkiller” is the name of a cocktail popular at Tiki bars, which they were talking about. He definitely was not referring to opioids.

Is anyone else hearing multiple music tracks in the background at certain points of this UPF? It sounds really jarring.

Rorie's build-up and explanation of that gif are way funnier than the gif itself. I hope Rorie never ever leaves GB.

That Cube developer's last game is called “Need For Drink”: a casual multiplayer game about competition between the spouses: a drunkard husband and his brawler wife. Please bring this to next UPF!

It's pretty great, and one of the last movies that I'd have thought would work as a game, but it does.

Wait, who told Ben that Dark Souls 3 is the best in the trilogy? It's my least favorite of the 3 by a pretty wide margin, but by all means play what you want...
