The new studio with its lighting reminds me of a Star Trek The Original Series set.

I love how the Downwell segment felt like a speedrun in AGDQ, even the tone and information of Mary's commentary was very speed-runny, and the tension of 'will she make it?'

It was great seeing somebody good at Downwell. If I'm lucky I get to 2-1 and then die halfway through that level. It's a really cool game, but I know I'll never reach the bottom. (Maybe I should try the PC version with a gamepad...)

Also, push Kish.

Matt Rorie is a fucking gift

Please someone tell me that Rorie's ignorance is all planned, because if so it's fucking perfect. His inability to pay attention is borderline genius.

@vrikk: I like to think that little smirk he had on at the end was pretty telling. I still laughed myself sick.

It has to be, right?

@vrikk: A part of me thinks that someone on chat asked Rorie to talk a little a bit about the recipes knowing full well that he wasn't paying attention to what was happening around him. What am I saying? I'm saying Rorie got setup.

Whew, thanks Mary. Now I don't have to try and beat Downwell anymore. I can reliably get to the boss on an even halfway decent run, but holy cow does it ever wreck my business.

Someone complaining about energy actually being present in a UPF for once kind of blows my mind.

People complaining about ANY UPF blows my mind. Hey folks, guess what -- Unprofessional Fridays exists as a way for the GB crew to unwind and not have to worry about schedules, appointments, or office work before the weekend. It's a way for them to hang out and chill at work, and frankly, EVERY workplace would be better if they included something similar. That we're invited along as an audience is a treat, and if you don't like a particular episode, just pass on the one that bothers you and come back next week.

Uh what... I don't really watch these too religiously anymore since they've gotten pretty boring but this is PAID content and it's supposed to be entertaining. It's not a privilege to "hang" with the guys online, you're paying them to do this so you should expect more.

Agreed, now that I think about it. I haven't watched a full UPF in like 2 months now. They have become plodding boring videos that feel like something that just needs to get out of the way at the end of the week so the staff can go celebrate the weekend.
And yes, YES, this is *PAID* content. People *PAY* for this and people absolutely have the right to ask or demand a change of some sort to make these fun again. People should *totally* expect more than just the "urghahahha almost weekend, lts play some games, dunno bluuurrrhhhppp" slouch fests these have become.

Yes you are a paying consumer, but that doesn't give you or anyone else the right to dictate on how the GB crew should run their videos. It's the same terrible attitude and entitlement that people who give money to kickstarters have. If you find any type of media you consume to be not enjoyable, you have the right to complain, you have the right to stop consuming and paying for the product (which clearly you should be doing), BUT it does not give you the right to demand on how things should be run. You are not the creator, director, writer etc. You are the audience, nothing more. Your say begins and ends with the enjoyment (or not) of these video.

Can we get BEAST to do a UPF? This has probably been mentioned before, I'm sure. Maybe, rotate every week. Mary added some life to this video, other than that. It feels like I've witnessed death and it stanks.

Absolutely this ^^^^. Don't like, vote with your wallet. Stop whining. I find these videos entertaining, so am I wrong? Putting money into anything doesn't give you any power over how it's used. That's why you become an actual shareholder in a company for, so you can dictate the path of a busniess, not for whining about UPF or Kickstarter.
