Unprofessional Fridays: 04/05/2019

PoE was out on Xbox already, and you guys I guess ignored that? I mean, seriously? If your SO interested in a console version, why didn't you check out the Xbox version? Or did you, and you guys forgot? Very confusing GB can be about their, uh, "knowledge" and "memory".

Now shut up and kiss me.

I’m loosing sound a lot. Any help? Mainly watch on my phone.

Same here. No audio on phone

@binarygod: I'm not sure they even have an Xbox in the office. I too get annoyed knowing stuff like this that they don't when it's not even my job to do so.

Honestly, it bugs me more when they don't know stuff like that during a Quick Look, like how much the game they're covering costs, and basically make guesses.

Weed's done.

I don't get why the GB crew always have such an extreme reaction to the POE skill tree. it's the least confusing part of the game actually, just take a little time to know where everything are and plan your path. You used sword? Get the sword nodes. 2 handed? get 2 handed nodes. Need more life/es? get life/es nodes.

Brad's recommendation for Quarter Confessions...whew, it's a lot to take in at once

Apparently consumer drones *are* already being used as bombs in warzones in the Middle East, so Brad's off the hook for this one

GTFO!

@belluae: NEW LAMP!! DAT LEG! mmm

Why is Brad wearing a hat? Has something happened to his glorious head of hair?!

For the last 7 years, I have watched I somehow have not gone bald tearing out my hair how they never know anything lol. Like even if they played a game on a system or said the game was announced at a specific console makers stream/conference they don't know it's on that system..even if they themselves watched it.

Brad was at home less than 2 hours before this appearing on the GBE Playdate with Vinny. Probably took a quick shower before heading into the office and didn’t have time to do his hair.

@binarygod: I was also watching this and wondering why are they acting like PoE just now came out on consoles.

The lack of ragdoll in Path of Exile is my biggest hurdle.

Been spoiled with ARPGs where dudes go wobbling all over the place when you hit them real hard. Going back to canned animations is just not going to cut it.

I would really not recommend people to follow a build guide in PoE. Most of the fun in that game is making your own insane build and experimenting with a bunch of stuff. I have multiple characters I did that with and they're all perfectly viable.

Also, I would still love to see a regular 'Jeff plays random interesting Steam games' stream.

That nightmare reality is most definitely reality at this point.

Giant Bomb not knowing about an Xbox version of a game? We can't be that surprised anymore guys.

Rory seems like he is on something sometimes. like uppers or something.

Ranking of Lovers?

I don't know when they got the Christmas Story Leg Lamp, but it's a wonderful addition to the set. It really classes the place up.

@vekke: Does that still require the Lab Coat?

Counter-point, Path of Exile was played on UPF on these dates:

• 2017/08/25
• 2018/12/21
• 2019/02/15
• 2019/04/05

Though, beyond that it feels like a game which sees a high ratio of Talk Time to Play Time.

At least there's no story to spoil in PoE.

this a Ben show?

Drones with bombs were used in WW2, just saying.

Auto-deflect in Sekiro seems like the worst thing you could do. Parries are so integral to this game! Rather give yourself infinite health or revives or something.

Hello, cutscenes in the division 2 are skippable I played alpha, and closed beta and day 1 while questing I was complaining how you can't skip cutscenes and then ... I did it, and every time since.

Escape doesn't work, and it doesn't tell you you're skipping it but hold F and it will skip that son of a bitch.

I'm 60 hours in and I just deleted Sekiro because I'm so bored of that game (in comparison, the division 2 just has way more life to it and is more fun in general!) it's back to DC for more tidal basin farming.

No, Rory, Gatwick Airpit was more accurate.

I don't know what the situation is now, but he's explained that he drinks pure caffeine. It's not even a joke. He has a soda stream machine and puts pure caffeine powder into it. Then he stays up until the wee hours of the morning because he can't sleep, and then gets up and pours caffeine into his veins again the next day.

It's a beautiful trainwreck. I love Rorie.

Can't wait for Wanking of Fighters, the porn game ranking.

No more PoE please.

Oh bombs!? Brad just said "im surprised they arent used for other illicit activities". So i assumed he meant prostitution. Sex that drone up!!! Ha-ha I kid. But I did think drone sex bot, or weed delivery bot when he said it.

*Edit* Jeff: "you can emulate certain kinds of touches". - See my mind went there again. Sex bot drone phone future! ROBOT DANGER SEX!

A month or two ago someone tried to take out the president of Venezuela with a bomb drone. It's already happening.

We've been killing people with drones constantly for 15+ years. If it happened here it would be terrifying; other side of the world it's not even memorable (apparently)

I agree, nothing against the game but it has been covered quite a bit.

I like how Rorie shows of POE and literally uses the worst skills in the entire game.

I must be one of the few who likes (or at least doesn't strongly mind) soloing ARPGS/shlooters. Haven't played enough of it but I wonder how Warframe holds up in that regard.

Wow, Brad actually considering watching wrestling? I never would have believed had I not heard it myself.

"I'm going to be quiet and let you concentrate"

*Immediately starts talking about something unrelated*

What in the world happened to Ben?

i am seriously sick of seeing or hearing about the tech tree in path of exile, rorie we get it theres a lot of skills please shut up about it

Can't believe they hype the Ben vs. Rorie fight for weeks and don't even broadcast it!

Path of Exile is such an awesome game. Glad to see it getting coverage on the site. It starts out really clunky but the combat flows like water with a little investment. Its a game that puts out as much as you put in, but its always fun to come back too. I have like 300 hours but have stopped playing for literal year at a time, the new league don't only reset things but add whole new end game content paths. As someone who checked it out at launch and wasn't into, it's crazy to see how far its come.

@campaigntony: Worth noting I have only spent 10 bucks total in that 300. Bought an extra stash tab and two special ones for currencies and stuff. Insane F2P "value."
