Unprofessional Fridays: 02/10/2017

If only he would go against the American trope of wearing ill fitting clothes, he would look even better

Redout kinda looked like the only good gamey game from that whole bunch. Just add weapons and power-ups to it and I might give the game a try myself.

A game like Bloody Boobs only makes sense in a pre-unlimited free porn world.

The stream was having difficulties live as well, the HD stream was having problems so they got rid of it to fix it. baby deceases of the new player.

Man these last 3 UPF´s have been really boring to watch.

I'm really excited to hear the guys might do a video with some of the games from the recent giant rom. It got some good entries!

I second the washed out and blurry comments.

too bad they can't be absolutely perfect like every single thing GBE produces!

Really liked this episode!

We don't need the bends.

Ugh that cave diving story was chilling. I am pretty sure I've watched that video footage before though.

I've recently been listening to Esbjörn Svensson, a famous Jazz musician who died during a deep diving accident. That shit is so dangerous.

I hope next Friday we have a Long War UPF

@borklund: "American trope" ? As someone that has extensively lived all over the world let me tell you other countries aren't some fashion havens - plenty of people wearing windbreakers and sandals with socks.

At the start Rorie says people are having trouble with Pocketcast app? I use it all the time for premium podcasts ect and never had a problem.

That light buzz in the audio annoys and infuriates me!

The audio seems a lot lower than before.

Some issues to iron out with the new setup.

- Video seems to have lost a lot of sharpness. Almost like it's being resampled to 720p and then upscaled?

- The contrast is really washed out, looks like it's not using full dynamic range.

- White balance / Color grading is way off. Skintones look really gray & green.

Keep tweaking! Hopefully it all ends up for the better in the end.

Rorie... are you okay? I'm concerned about your homemade energy drinks. You looked like you were tweaking out a little bit in this video.

I'm really not a fan of the constant buzzing throughout this video.

<3 Hyper homebrew concoction Matthew.

Hey now. Windbreakers can be cool. Go ask Skepta. Though sandals with socks can not be cool. So I'll half agree with you.

I dont expect perfection, i just really like it when im entertained each Friday seeing as thats why im subscribing. At least GBE´s Noctropolis video was fucking amazing.

@drewbert Deepwater Horizon was pretty good

Isn't the cave Brad's talking about in North America? That article is about a cave in South Africa.

High and HD download links are the same, both 720p

Sorry...but Toejam& Earl 2: Panic on Funkatron is a great game. I think it's actually better than the first, even if it is completely different. (1:11:20)

Jeff decides to make his character a blonde, LA Laker fan version of Mei from Overwatch in Youtube's Life. Jeff still wishing Mei won best Overwatch hero. Seemed like a fun UPF that I missed out on live.

The weird thing is that hundred of such games are made but nobody makes a good one. You would think eventually someone would just make a good game - that just happen to have a ridiculous character model. But, I guess making games is hard; and making boobs is easy.

The only game I really enjoyed was Youtubers Life, I could have gone for seeing 20 more minutes of that instead of two or three of the others. Its all good, whatever they want to do,, but I felt that was the most interesting stuff.

I wonder what the developers of Shadow of the Empire think about the internet's obsession with that one Hoth level. One hand, it's clearly a showpiece, on the other, gotta feel pretty shitty that people ignore like 90% of your game.

Why is the video chat always broken?

Damn, Deathstate has a pretty neat soundtrack going on. Sounds like it was all made on a Yamaha DX7 or another similar FM synthesizer. Maybe AdlibTracker II stuff?

I'm confused. Is this video 1080p/60? What's the best way to watch it? I usually do Auto but it looks the same to me even when I switch to HD or Progressive.

Great job. Thanks guys!

The way Jeff just jumps into a game without going to settings or options first should be a crime.

Poor Jeff, had to take the slack for 2hrs.

@rorie thanks for going into the video issues. It is good to hear that it's still being worked on.

Wait, so the livestream player can do 1080/60, but the archive player can't?

I thought about the same thing as Drew during that 3 beards game, sounds like Doug, or other old nickelodeon cartoons, really cool sound design. Also the mouth made sounds for the anvil and the snapping were cool.

You're a giant raccoon.

I for one am loving the new video player. My mid 2011 mac-mini's fan used to spin up when watching a live stream. the new video player doesnt seem to be as taxing on my older, system.

Is it just me, or are the camera shots really washed out?

I would love if they brought back a Thursday Night Throwdown type show where they focus on playing multiplayer games, either with the audience online or couch co-op/competitive with each other. Since TNT went away, there's been a ton of great games for both online and local multiplayer that would make a great show, and you could even pull in the Beast crew from time to time to do East vs. West grudge matches. That would shake things up and probably lessen the requirement of each member of the crew to find something new to bring to the group each and every week. Maybe alternate each week between UPF and TNT?

it is absolutely, literally just you.

you should elaborate. i think there's the thread for video problems in bug reporting, may be a chat one. start your own and provide details if there isn't.

and if it makes any difference @rorie@wcarle

Yeah, I'm seeing that too.

Momodora is so friggin' good. One of the best games of last year and my favorite Metroidvania-type game since SotN. I hope it gets more coverage and attention when it comes to consoles this year (same goes for Rabi-Ribi).

Dan's absence made this Friday far too professional for my taste.

Jason, please delete that stupid twitter thing or we'll convince Dan to come back.
