Unprofessional Fridays: 02/19/2016

Yes, I can't wait to watch this. I have been hearing good things about this shooter.

Edit: I know this sounds like a broken record; this is the first time I got first post. Now, more than ever, I wish the site had quests still.

You guys were British at one time!

Also, Australia is about the size of the continental US.

Thank god, an episode with Jeff, Brad and Drew at least. Dan is a bonus.

I saw @fobwashed post a 20-second video of Devil Daggers while UPF was live and immediately bought it. It's fucking incredible.

@monetarydread:

its the best id game of 2016 (sorry doom!)

How long until a gif of Jeff’s “can I sneak one more in?” eye maneuver emerges?

my body is ready. UPF me up.

i came here to get unprofessional, is this the right place???

A run in Devil Daggers can last 30 seconds, and I've played over two hours already. Also, Hit "R" to instantly restart and hit tab to see your current time and your best time.

Thanks for the upload guys! Have a good weekend everyone

I absolutely love seeing games made outside of North America, Europe and Japan. How scenes emerge around the world is so interesting! Thanks for showing that game off, Drew!

NO RORIE NO SALE!

(OKAY MAYBE A LITTLE SALE BUT YEAH!)

thanks guys!

Right now up to 94s on Devil Daggers. This game is hella good.

Would you dagger with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Man, it would probably be weird to have one of those things if your name actually were Alexa. That sounds more common than Siri or Cortana. Or Okaygoogle.

@ripelivejam: Boo to you. BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (I'm just upset that I couldn't make this joke myself.) Still, BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

As an Australian i find Giantbombs bizarre obsession with my home country fascinating. I don't think they should ever come here as they will only be disappointed. Unfortunately Australia is a pretty normal western country. Stay away and keep the bizarre warped dream alive.

The normal character model for Tron Run/r is literally the same model as the main character from Tron Evolution!

Glad they're not giving up on Tron, I just wish we were getting quality games and products.

nice crew on this one :)

Just give me season two of uprising!

( off topic: after 7 years I've finally hit 2000 posts!)

@ripelivejam: rorie was in chat so be confident in your purchase

idk why but the xbox notifications were making me sick. Don't do that anymore please

I appreciate the skinship joke from Jeff.

John Carter was pretty alright. It was the kind of movie that might have made a decent amount of money if the marketing weren't so godawful.

Battleship... Battleship is kind of awesome, actually? About 85% of the movie is shockingly aware of just how dumb it is.

Mm, Devil Daggers. It's about time we moved past the NES nostalgia pandering and got to the nostalgia pandering that really matters: MS-DOS (and IBM PC compatible).

The Skull enemies in Doom are called Lost Souls.

I was already super interested in Spire and now feeling how good the movement in Devil Daggers is has got me even more excited

@the_doctor_52: Yeah. We're basically America lite at this point, right down to the horrific racism and mistreatment of anyone who isn't a straight white dude. It's...it's pretty bad living here.

On a lighter note, John Carter is an amazing movie that unluckily had the twofer of being in a development hell for at least a decade and having awful marketing. Even if the marketing had been better it still wouldn't have made a profit.

Why is "robot boobs" the only thing you mention regarding Ghost in the Shell? I mean come on. And there's not even that much, couple seconds tops.

Anyway, good episode.

I've been working on Garden Warfare 2 for the past year as a character artist while watching GB streams. The one time they play it live the team holds a meeting and I completely miss it... Great to see them play it though!

No one tried bunnyhopping?..... Really?

Was still a great UPF guys, thanks!

Alexa just sounds like what Okay Google does on every Android smartphone.

@fobwashed inverts???

ALL GLORY TO FOBWASHED

@mlarrabee: That sweetspot of 3D graphics without hardware acceleration!

Also, despite what chat said, Devils Daggers is best enjoyed with the Quake soundtrack instead of the Doom one.

Devil Daggers is the game your parents didn't let you play in the 90's because it's satanic.

It looks incredible, I can't wait to play it.

Really enjoyed Drew showing the game from Iran. It looked great and seemed fun to play. Interested in reading the article about Irans gaming scene.

I'm embarrassed to admit I had low expectations from a game created by guys who taught themselves to make games over 6 years. I was completely wrong.

I did wonder about Drew being alone in the multiplayer world was a meta take on Iran being isolated from the world. Once the game is released as sanctions are lifted, I would like to see a quick look that shows the multiplayer in action.

Plus, drew playing FPS is one of my favorite features on the site.

devil daggers is very good

Okay. I saw Devil Daggers and I was like "damn this looks fun". Dan kept playing it, I kept getting excited. Dan couldn't beat his highscore. I instantly bought the game and paused UPF until I could beat his score. Took me 30 minutes. I can now resume UPF. Game is damn fun!

If you hit 'tab' during Devil Daggers it cycles through displaying your current time and the current high score.

Edit: Jeff found it! Also the music in the Iranian-developed FPS is giving me some sweet Turok 2 OST vibes, specifically the Port of Adia theme.

Well I hope you've seen this then:

HAHA eyval!!! never thought I'll have you guys play a game from my home country this is going to be hilarious!

Gambit is so bad ass. But yeah, I've only ever watched the cartoon too so maybe that is it.

Devil Daggers more like Double Baggers to hold all these hot cheevo notifos.

I love PvZ Garden Warfare. I will defend random card packs. It may be because it's one of the few games I'm actually good at (and this game really rewards you for performance) but I always have an abundance of plants to pot and zombies to summon.

The real meat of the online experience is a mod that is basically like the progressive point capture in Battlefield. Brad really sold it short by describing the online experience as deathmatch.

If that "moominbiscuit" is the one that features in shesellssheshells's Youtube Reacts videos, someone somehow tell him that I love his accent.

All the sample "Alexa" speak successfully triggered my Echo twice. It also couldn't make Street Fighter 5 work.
