Unprofessional Fridays: 05/12/2017

The hottest air.

I stopped watching the Saturn Stream, and I thought: but WHAT IF I could watch Jeff, Jason, Brad and Ben play MORE Sega Saturn games?

And that's the story of how I got here.

Fridays

I'm so bummed about Hitman :(

i miss drew

Can't decide if Nuked London Hatriots is funny or them trying too hard. They certainly got as close to the font on the Hatriots logo without a call from the NFL.

Wait, the QB is named Bomb Shady? Ok, they went a bit wild on the punnage.

Why are you making me sad

Peanut Butter (chunky), honey, and a slice of cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)

Man, watching Brad look everywhere BUT where the guy he's trying to kill is gets annoying fast. Watched Lang stream this elusive target earlier, so it's infuriating to see Brad get so close and miss him.

Welcome, Ben.

onward and upward, guy's great but i'd rather not live in the past.

Kid stories are only interesting if it is your own kid.

@captunnecessary said:

Welcome, Ben.

I was expecting The Thing to start happening back there.

I can get my head around the honey but the cheese as well would be too rich for me.

@undeadpool: Rowsdower!

Wish they played less fighting games on upf. Enjoyable to play, but (excluding hardcores)less so to watch.

If they can't get the rights, I would love for IO to just go through with their planned Hitman season 2 and put Kane and Lynch in it instead. That would be rad.

@hansolol: the least hit man possible ip ever but no the world doesn't need more Kane and lunch it offended people back then imagine now since people are 2000 percent more sensitive to things than they ought to be. I didn't know this was about rights but if it is that totally sucks hutman is ios baby and blood money still a top 10mgamemof all time for me.

Maybe Bethesda will buy io, well zenimax...

Oh man Brad saying it's tempting to take coins out in the open makes me really question how successful this run is going to bend. Hitman elusive targets are so much fun to Watch I'm on the edge of my seat .

Brad had a good Hitman run there. A little fumbling around, but climbing into the building and the hit itself was pretty clean. Nice work!

I'm glad someone else understands honey is the best spread to go with pb and that pb should be chunky, but I can't get behind adding cheese. Black Cherry is the best jelly/jam btw.

@emtee: brad has no map awareness, hes bad when he plays no matter what game...was watching there murder island stream n it was him and vinny standing and this is what happens Jeff "hes coming to you on the left side", brad decides to go right and the enemy kills both vinny and brad...ive seen it time and time again. Hes so bad

Square Enix: Burn it to the ground.

@pabsi9: hey man its not like you can see enemies through walls or anything in hitman ?

Watching Brad attempt an elusive target I've already finished is excruciating.

We love ya, Ben! Your Batman batarang question was warranted and not at all stupid!

I was wondering the same thing as Brad, this is the company that was ready to kill the Tomb Raider franchise because the reboot game had sold more than any other Tomb Raider game, but they had lost a lot of money on Final Fantasy games and said Tomb Raider under performed to justify them not making a lot of money.

Guh I fucked up so hard on that one.

I was carefully getting rid of the guards guarding the targets fancy car, careful to keep my "Silent Assassin, Suit Only" run intact. After messing with his car the target walks over to the cliff to take a phone call or have a smoke or whatever, his bodyguards turns their backs and I get greedy trying to take the moment and push him. IT's just that two crew people was standing just behind me, they had front row seats to me totally murdering that guy, they yelled, guards shoot at me, I can't restart since target is already dead. I go down.

After spending an hour masterfully crafting the perfect hit I go down by rule 1 in Hitmanning: "Make sure no one is watching you murder that guy."

Jeff, how do non-compete clauses typically work for game devs? Could the folks at IO just all quit and join another studio, or would Square have set up their contracts so that the only way they could start making games right away somewhere else is if all of IO got acquired by a different company?

neither here nor there, but i would LOVE an injustice 2 live stream, preferably 1 1/2 to 2 hours of jason on jeff on ben action, and maybe dan over the interwebs inexplicably playing his favorite DC character Kung Jim.

I'm nobody special on this site, but I think you should send these questions to jeff as a pm to be considered for the next Jar Time.

Just me or in full screen mode does the video ui / scrubber at the bottom of the screen no longer go away? Does the same thing when the mouse is anywhere on the video (even not moving) on non-fullscreen. This is in both html5 and progressive player.

So I didn't recognize the name Tom F. Wilson and I had to Google it. He's one of those, "Oh, THAT guy" guys.

Anyway... just thought it was interesting that Google lists his death date as March 25, 2004, Edinburgh, UK. He's kind of not dead, though... Apparently there is a death hoax surrounding him right now. Interesting timing that they would mention him here.

This may rub a lot of people the wrong way but with Microsoft's poor 1st party line up I think the best people to buy IO and the Hitman license/tech would be them. They have the most to gain by making sure the team makes a great game. Maybe Season 3 would be exclusive to PC/Xbox and people would be upset but it would improve their exclusive console offerings.

@hansolol: I second this. It would be a dream

I think I've had my fill of Microsoft buying/owning/managing game studios I like. Their first-party lineup isn't poor for no reason.

I want an episode of Ranking of Fighters where they cover all the Street Fighter Alpha games back-to-back to see how they really compare.

"Mario was a popular drink and he still is."

LOL. This quip had me dying. @jeff's deep Gang Starr cut was not lost on me. Does Mario get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis though?

It's kind of baffling to see that after all this time, Brad still doesn't know how to use the minimap in Hitman. The minimap is pretty much essential in that game.

Brad. Hitman. Stop.

This is happening for me as well. A workaround is to click the download link and watch it in there.

@north6: For those having issues getting the playback controls to disappear, right clicking made them hide for me.

I'm sad for IO and the future of Hitman, but i'm not a fan of the latest game, i maintain that Absolution was better.

CBS's neglect of GB's needs is depressing.

The music at 24:30 is dope as.

I may have found Jason's secret shame: https://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_myprofile.php?user_id=26822

Reppin' that Hospital Records radio on Forza! Big up!

@billyok: Yeah I can see that. They do have a terrible track record with studios and projects. They just need to do something lol.
