Unprofessional Fridays: 05/08/2015

Does anyone have any background on the texting porn thing? Was it something they talked about on the podcast or something because it came out of nowhere and everyone on the couch seemed to know what it was all about.

I've listened to most of it so unless they talk about it in the last few minutes of the podcast, no. It pretty much speaks for itself though. Probably mentioned it around the office.

My 'friends' would send me porn in school to get me in trouble or joke about it. Mostly lemon party.

@kyller: Because a lot of GB fans tend to read a lot of stuff into things that aren't there, and project their own views onto the staff.

That Jason/Dan MKX fight was funny as hell to watch. Great job, Jason!

Seriously guys, if you send someone a gift, you can't tell them what or how to use said gift. Stop telling people how they should enjoy stuff, IT WAS A GIFT, if they want to pour it down the toilet it's their perogative. Seriously, stop being so butthurt oversomething so small.

Also, don't send them stuff if you won't like how they use something.

Excellent start.

Another good UPF. Thanks for ending our week enjoyably!

Also, it's good to see Jason in an entire stream and not just for his particular segment and then returning to the control room.

If the BLLSL was such a roaring success why are viewer numbers barely changing?? When is it going to be 6000 every Friday instead of a measly 3000? I feel like I'm part of some obscure internet cult when I'm one among 3000. I want to feel anonymous, not cultonymous.

@lobotomyking: his kung jim game is totally on point!

This was a really great one. Messing with the GTA mods was my favorite bit, but it was a great show from top to bottom. Jason punch rushing Dan was fun to watch.

If I ever see them mix good alcohol with soda again I'm going to commit a serious act of self harm maybe then you people will take this seriously.

@kurokeima: Four grand? Man I love me some scotch/whiskey but that is insane. Probably ridiculously smooth though...or at least I hope it is.

@danryckert The lack of a whale checking his phone made me cry sir. I'm sure it will just lock up again, but come on. Give it a shot next time! Well, another shot at least

I assume you're not being super-serious but in my case, I've been visiting this site since 2009, premium since last year and as far as I know I have never watched a full livestream live. With shows as long as GB produces, I need to be able to pause and resume; there are way too many interruptions in an average day for me to do otherwise and I don't want to miss the beginning, end or parts of the middle. It's basically the same reason why I don't watch any tv shows until they're out on disc and I can view them at my leisure. Does that hurt or discourage the people making these shows? I hope not, but I can't really help it. =/

As an aside:

It's not the mixing of drinks that is a problem; it's the apparent glee at knowing it'll upset someone, somewhere. Trolling can be done in good humor but the end-goal should be that a good time be had by all instead of the end-goal being to annoy or frustrate.

Basically, all I'm saying is that the "Woo!" was inappropriate. I therefore recommend there be a Woo! Jar installed in the GB offices and anyone found guilty of inappropriate Woo!ing be required to put $5 in the jar, which will later be donated to a worthy cause, as determined by the unfortunate bystanders at the time of the offending Woo!.

Speaking for myself, I watch 90% of the videos GB posts, but I almost never watch UPF live, because I've got shit to do.

There's no real point or necessity to watching live streams, when you know they are going to be archived and posted within a few hours... unless you want to participate in the chat, which itself can become a clusterfuck with the sheer number of people, and the mandated delays between posts.

Wait, Rorie doesn't own a dog? That's criminal. Get this man a puppy.

duders,

you need to terminate your DMX on those lights in back. Or maybe turn off RDM on whatever controller you have. It's killing me watching them flash like that. Killing me!

I'm a little late to the party, but GTA V on PC is absolutely stunning. Makes me want to upgrade my video card.

"The Cleveland Clablands" - Rorie 2015

He's said that his apartment is too small to own a dog.

Start video. @Unastrike is sitting on the couch. I'm in for the full ride, now.

This show was hella funny.

Thanks GiantBomb

This show was hella funny.

Thanks Giant Bomb!

Goro's punch forward move is basically Luigi's dash attack in Smash.

god bless bank man

@deadpanjazman: Sure that's fair if that's you're opinion. I just think that if I bought something nice and fancy for someone and watched them just abuse it I'd be a little bummed. Like buying a nice suit for someone and watching them jump in a pool with it. Sure it's their choice and their gift but it's a bummer they show such disregard for something you thought was special. That's just my 2 cents.

Either way I think we both agree that the people who are getting MAD at this are dumb and need to get over it. I might have my objections over it but it's not worth raging about, GB is still plenty entertaining regardless of drink tastes.

I try not to get upset about Dan mixing good scotch with soda, but I think if I ever send some nice booze to GB, I'll make sure to include a small bottle of Jack or some other cheap whiskey for Dan to enjoy however he wants.

More Jason and Rorie on the couch!

Drew's transitions game is on point throughout this UPF.

Jumping in late to the scotch argument :D Didn't the guy who sent the scotch specifically give Dan $5 to not mix the whiskey? And didn't he take the money? ;)

We've definitely run into a case of pearls before swine with that scotch. What else did everyone expect? The guy has taste that hasn't evolved since childhood.

I seem to recall Vinny saying on an old podcast that his son really liked Dog TV.

Those transitions, replays and explosion effects were great! Drew/Jason, please do them every week.

Man it is fun watching Jason whoop ass.

I vaguely remember Rorie saying that he was drunk when seeing Iron Man 3. Can he only enjoy the Marvel movies while innebriated? I'll never get the point of getting drunk and watching a quality movie and have it be your first experience.

I enjoy every Giant Bomb podcast and show that involves Jason, more Jason makes everything better.

I haven't seen the new Star Wars films, but some goons did spoil some stuff for me on the internet twice regarding the film.

Anyhow in this video at the 1:45:30 mark, some predicions are made which might be on the money by

@rorie did he know something?
