Unprofessional Fridays: 04/15/2016

Drew's aura is strong, Brad's up to old tricks, Rorie takes a leap, and Dan revs up his inner dog. All this and a little more on UPF.

The end of the week is here! You made it! Let's sit back, relax, and close the week out in style with some video games.

Apr. 15 2016

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Drew, Matt, Dan

@s1lv3rsmith: They absolutely 100% need to cover that with something. Maybe that portrait of Jeff?

Ace Ventura has been mentioned several times on Giant Bomb and every time someone says the second one doesn't hold up. What about the first one? It ends with a transgender woman being violently humiliated and an entire police force being viscerally disgusted in finding out she has a penis. How does that hold up?!

I have been looking for a specific video of Sandra Lee (the food network lady) making punch, but instead only find videos of Dr. Sandra Lee, who pops pimples and cysts on youtube. i do not want to search for that video any more

Also, the CRANK film series is fantastic, some of the best movies ever made, while HARDCORE HENRY is a mess. It's a completely waste of time and resources.

@larmer: It absolutely holds up. A comedy with questionably offensive material? Those are still being made today. Plus, I think you are taking things a little bit out of context. The "transgender" was a murderous villain getting humiliated, not some random person being targeted for no reason.

I was playing the doom beta and I literally had to stop what i what I was doing when I saw Dan in the VIR Zoom thing, like wtf... That being said I really like how the gang is slowly implementing vr stuff in the upfs, it just feels like the most natural way to show vr to me personally!

@lazyaza: It seems disorientating watching the feed of his view, but from his perspective it's natural movement. Also the new headsets are good at not inducing nausea due to high refresh rates and other fancy tech.

I think its worth taking a look at Dark Souls 3 for Jeff. After putting a lot of time into Bloodborne, I think he got a feel for the flow of those games and it won't seem so off-putting as DS1 did.

Also, I was in the first wave of Oculus preorders and I got mine on 3/30.

The Gear Score in Division is just an indicator for the RNG ranges used for the item (you can see the ranges when looking at crafting recipes, for example). It's not affected by the actual RNG rolls so it's pretty broken, especially since a lot of the early gear grind consisted of getting the same items but with the best possible RNG rolls. So players who did all the grinding have better stats without an increase in gear score. There's also the fun of gear score brackets for the dark zone, if you equip a really crappy sidearm you can lower your gear score a lot and fit into the lower bracket with very high quality gear (it's why you'd see me show up in challenge missions with 150 GS, with a HE sidearm I'm actually 170GS but I cannot be bothered to re-equip that thing for CMs since it's useless).

Of course the new super hard mission has loads of exploits that allowed determined players to get loads of that top GS equipment and make sure they get the best RNG rolls. They're working on closing those loopholes, probably making it even harder for non-exploiters to get close to the power of a determined exploiter.

Better changes include a lowering of the needed Darkzone levels for vendors. Apparently the 50 you needed for anything high end was a massive grind, you'd probably have higher quality gear than the vendors offer by the time you were allowed to buy it. Now they halved all the level requirements and added more items on top.

I thought the trick was that that person wasn't actually trans, just changed as a disguise. Hence keeping the penis despite an operation. They didn't want to be a woman, they just got operated to hide their identity.

@troll93: Agreed, and it doesn't seem to have any of the charm of Hands of fate.

- Its also hilarious how often Dan has brought up that ace ventura story.

- And wtf Brad, I did painted world at the exact same point in the game, I never grinded and it seemed totally fine? Like seriously, Brad stopped playing one of the best games of the last gen because of that? Nothing about it seemed harder than the rest of the game and its also one of the best areas in the game imo(Did my first blind playtrough a couple weeks back). Thats coming from someone who took 5 goddamn hours to beat rom in bloodborne so its not like im some souls savant. Literally everything in bloodborne is harder than anything in the painted world. Load our last Brad souls!

That tells me your lifestyle probably doesn't include any physically demanding hobbies, like hitting the gym or competing in a sport. With that sleep schedule, it would be impossible to do. At least if you want to, you know, git gud.

You can tell the quality of the game by how often the group stops watching and starts talking about ANYTHING else aside from the game.

Nasal cauterisation survivors, represent!

I had my nose broken 3 times within a couple of years when I was teenager (a combination of playing rugby and being argumentative) and eventually had to get the operation.

Possibly the most unpleasant experience I've ever had...

I liked Drew's: "It's your game attitude" towards Dan being not prepared. Unecessary weird pauses most of the time, when he has his segment.

has their mic setup changed? The gate does a good job of filtering most of it out, but when they talk there is a pretty distinct background hiss when they talk. almost like the mics need pop/wind filters.

Yup, that was the point, methinks the poster above has an agenda.

Still a funny movie, and he was also a violent murderer obsessed with a teammate on the NFL team they played on.

Can anyone pay attention when Drew plays a game? I couldn't read the screens and no one was explaining what was on them.

That looked like a fun game and I'm gong to buy it. Thanks Drew.

It seems that Dan has to interrupt and change the subject by asking about Ace Ventura movie during a complex fight that Drew was having. So much harder to follow along when they aren't helping figure out the controls.

A series with Drew playing games from underrepresented countries would be amazing. Drew and Jeff would be perfect for that.
