Unprofessional Fridays: 11/30/2018

I love seeing Giant Bomb united. It's the best of treats. <3

I loved the Nerds Blizzard! I was wondering why they don't make it any more

UPF of the year.

Headphone users beware around about the nine minute mark.

Also, fuck Sean Hannity.

Gosh what a good UPF. GB crew together brings smiles to my face

The gang's all here! Great to see everyone together.

Thank you very much for making me aware of that extension.

The explosive duck is such a weird thing for them to give to you right away in Hitman 2. It basically lets you follow any mission story and do exactly what Vinny did on every mission. Of course that’s not where the fun lies in the game but it’s certainly tempting for elusive targets

Brad is always too slow to make any kind of decision in Hitman, when he does it's normally the wrong one, and most of the time he doesn't seem to know what's going on around 47, or what he's supposed to be doing. It should be frustrating, but I love it.

For my attempt at this elusive target, I failed to get a clear opportunity at any of the cool kills. Eventually, I just put the micro explosive on his seat and sent him flying over the table when he sat down.

Jeffs unrelenting disgust with pears will never not make me chuckle.

The new desk all full and all brought this comparison to mind.

I wonder what they're using the other side of the room for now? My hope is they're building an alternate set with a new couch setup, but it'll probably just be a green screen area again.

Bad advertisement for Geochic, not performing under pressure. I bought two Sibolan displays from Gearbest and they're 15.6 4k monitors with the worst HDR ever, but decent colors out of the box and 310 each. I think I paid less than 300 when I got them since it was part of their black friday week nonsense.

Seeing Brad crash to desktop almost immediately was pretty perfect. I have about 50 hours in Hitman 2 on PC, and I've probably crashed to desktop about 40 times. Hopefully IOI fixes the stability, because it's been a great game aside from that.

Then let my opinion also reach them: Sean Hannity is a horrible human being and not only am I okay with jokes about shoving him out of an airlock, I would like that to be the next Giant ROM theme.

@rdfed: I'm pretty sure it both allows to output both through TV and Amplifier but it priorities the controller output the moment you plug something in.

FINALLY WE GET THE HITMAN 2 CONTENT WE CRAVE

I would listen to Jeff Gerstmann rap podcast.

@azraeldr: What about a Jeff and Dave Lang rap podcast? https://imafixwolves.com/

Hitman is definitely Mr. Worldwide.

lol they still think you can save in an elusive target

How do I turn off autoplay?

My favourite kind of UPF!

Brad "Hitman" Hart?

Sean Hannity is easily, like, the worst Sean.

Brad "Let's hang around unconscious bodies" Shoemaker strikes again!

Something they missed about Vinnie's hit is that the conversation he interrupted was Sean Bean asking Vinny how he would try to kill him if he was an assassin. So Vinnie's answer was to get up, drop an explosive duck, walk out, and trigger the duck without even looking back. The best answer.

Rule #1 of Hitman: Never listen to Dan

Having the whole team together on an UPF is usually one of the highlights of the year on the site, it's a shame that all they did this year was play Hitman first and then just Jackbox for the rest of the show. Don't get me wrong, I like Hitman and Jackbox (even though they played some of the least fun Jackbox games), but overall it just seems like a wasted opportunity.

Alex at Brad during Hitman - I do not sanction this behavior!

LMAO!

remember that time kid rock rhymed "things" with "things"

Getting the gang together is always a pleasure, though I wish this had been around three hours long. Need to see some Nidhogg 2 and Overcooked 2 action as well!

Seeing the whole gang together is great, but it makes the wait for the GOTY content all the more excruciating.

But I'm waiting for sale to get Hitman 2! Guess I have to skip half of the show, damn...

Brad be packing them fiber wire earbuds on that space trip while disguised as Florida Man.

They did it, they actually did the Sean Bean ET live! YES. I am pretty worn out on Jack Box streams for the year though.

"Fighting" does rhyme with "I'm Sting." Gotta expand your definition of rhyming!

I love how Brad fucking activates at the mention of Peanutbutter Crunch.

@baldrik: sweet, thanks man!

I get the idea of Jackbox being fun on stream...but the amount of time they are all just staring a phones and not talking makes it not great for me. Other than that I enjoyed this UPF!

Props to Jan for getting the garland to match up across shots..that was clever.

It's cool that Vinny was sporting the Gechic 1503 portable monitor with rear dock attachment. I use that monitor when I want to play Nintendo Switch with my friends on a bigger screen at Denny's. Pretty sure the audio issue he had is that the monitor was either muted or the monitor volume was down.

kinda wish they would stop playing these party games, they generally sit in silence looking at their phones for the entirety of the section.

Sean does a lot more than "opine" do some research on the family of Seth Rich, who are currently suing him for making their lives a living hell by spreading conspiracy theories about their son's death being caused by the DNC. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Great video. Had to re-sub just to watch this (and to catch up on Mass Alex). Jackbox stuff is always entertaining, especially as a VOD since you can skip past the "writing answers" silent phase.

Blap blap.

its really unfortunate that the crew is spread out over SF and NY.
