Unprofessional Fridays: 05/27/2016

I'm amazed that Brad didn't just throttle Dan during the Hitman segment. Brad started out by saying he wanted to genuinely finish the mission, and then Dan proceeded to bark orders at him to do stupid things the whole time.

Hitman continues to be crazy. Can't wait for a QL of Marrakesh next week.

...oboy at them not looking at the objectives on screen once again, though.

Brad is actually getting sad at this point. The last few years he has played Dota, Destiny, and mobile games (so, basically, Skinner Boxes). It's kind of making me depressed seeing someone who was fucking awesome and a figure in gaming fall to marketing bullshit. It was funny being played off as a 'joke' for the first year or so... but please, Brad, please... come back to reality.

Serious question: why would someone ever take Dan's advice when playing any stealth game? He was also super belligerent during the Hitman segment. Dan is the reason everything went wrong in that game at every moment lol

@techh10 huh? All that stuff you get, in terms of cards, directly effects the game and your ability to do more stuff. Overwatch stuff is skins, avatars, and other useless stuff :|

Yeah, I get the joke by now. People want this to become a new feature? Each to their own, I guess.

I spaced out for a second. why did the chef need to die?

nevermind, I suspect I know the answer.

Kinda wish east would do a Friday show so I wouldn't have to listen to dan on Friday. Things out west have taken on a very annoying edge lately

@dave_tacitus: huh? I definitely don't want another feature that's just hours of Dan giving people terrible advice but yelling it the entire time.

I wish i could live in a world where 40 dollars "isn't that much"...

@mojofac: it's pretty shitty to essentially tell someone they're wrong for liking what they like. These are fun, well constructed games that don't require any money to enjoy immensely. And obviously they're far from the only thing brad's playing.

I guess we're crying the death of UPF once again, and dan should be fired, or something.

Dan and Brad are the chuckle brothers of Hitman

Enrique Iglesias is the son of Julio Iglesias, who according to wikipedia has sold over 300 million records and has been active since 1975, arguably the most famous and best selling latin and Spanish singer of all time. That's why Enrique has been famous since a child.

The more you know!

Anyone else get as confused as Jeff did at 1:31:11 when the disconnected device sound played?

Wu Tang Vs Shaolin seems pretty cool.

That Shaolin game seems 90% awesome.

Watching the T-Bar go down as the show faded out was #surreal.

Until Dan is out sick on a UPF with a Hitman segment, Brad will never succeed.

I really loved that look on the tricaster software. It would be so awesome if we got to see some more behind the scenes stuff on what Drew and Jason are up to.

Even if it was just a feed from the control room in the corner of the video I would swallow that up!

Everyone's giving Dan shit for the chef but it would have been fine killing him if Brad didn't take forever to do it.

He practically waited until he was visible from a huge courtyard before doing it.

@hippie_genocide: nope!

@mojofac: hey man, dood plays what he likes ain't nothing wrong with that.

Dans continued mocking of Battleborne is a little grating now. Like I don't think Battleborne is that great, or at least I didn't really enjoy what I played of it, but to mock people that do enjoy it seems kind of shitty.

This Animal Racing games is what would happen if you took all the talent away from the Arcane Kids and charged for the pleasure

Indeed. Mad Men was a really great TV show!

That Wild Animals Racing game looks just like Wacky Wheels.

wish they would mix things up a bit with UPF, I fell asleep half way through, and not for the first time.

@cornbredx: I was thinking exactly the same! Doesn't have any of WW's charm though.

I got 1 .. one ... legendary in my packs. Jeff got how many legendaries? 4-6?

Then again in Hearstone I get so few legendaries I only get them in pity packs after 40. Blizzard rng hates me, yet I keep giving them money, sigh.

A problem with them doing the elusive target challenges on a show is neither of them have really touched the game since the last QL. So they don't really know the map well at all. They didn't know which "cliff side villa" the intro was talking about... They didn't know about the kitchen assistant costume in the apartment above the safe house. Cripes, Brad didn't even know where the safe house was initially and was ready to give up on it thinking he hadn't packed a key. These are mistakes that can be made if you haven't played the game a lot.

Its fair enough because they have a ton of other games to play, but its can be slightly frustrating watching them make the most basic of errors. All that being said it was their great QL's that convinced me to buy this game, a purchase I am very happy with.

I got the icehockey Lucio. It's pretty cool and it didn't cost me anything. I wonder if this game gives you a pity legendary every ~40 packs too like Hearthstone.

(also, loot packs for real money is rotten)

(also, Overwatch is pretty cool)

The unstoppable force of Dan's unchecked sociopathy meets the immovable object of Brad's chronic indecisiveness.

Rather than more of this comical Hitman ineptitude, I'd prefer to watch Brad make a serious attempt at a mission with someone who actually understands the game to guide him gently towards success. It was strange to see Jeff take a 10 second read of the game mechanics and immediately understand them far better than either Dan or Brad have managed so far.

And this is why I joined premium :)

Jeff likes Overwatch. JEFF LIKES OVERWATCH. VIDEO GAMES ARE BACK.

@sharkman: Thats why you should place the mine, instead of drop it.

Brad is so bad at Hitman. And every other game.

Is it me or is the soundtrack to the mystic track in Wild Animal Racing just Moonlight Sonata?

14:54 From where did Dan get that preposterous hypothesis? Wreckfest is not out of early access. Wonder if it ever will be...

People have been angry about development progress, physics changes and whatnot though, as Bugbear seems to struggle a bit with direction, whether to make it more sim or more careless. Or were angry. People seem to like the changes the May 25th update brought.

I'm beginning to think Brad has a problem. Like, an actual problem.

i cant believe i bashed overwatch :( forgive me internet.

i kno rite. he should totally be held accountable.

he's fine. you're exaggerating. also try playing a pretty intense game live for thousands.

i really need to play Hitman. I bought episode 1 but haven't touched it.

will we get West vs East Overwatch edition? The east crew seems to like the game as well.

Seeing that the Overwatch loot system is basically identical to Hearthstone cards kind of makes me want the game more.

There's something very satisfying about building out a collection without spending any money (though I am definitely guilty of drunkenly spending $2 for arena runs in HS...)

Man, I do not understand why Brad listens to Dan with these Hitman things his skill level doesn't seem high enough to deal with the idiocy. It might just be the pressure of doing it on camera, but if that's the case it would be super awesome if he went and played enough without an imbecile shouting in his ear to understand how the game works.

I agree with everyone's assessment that this game is awesome, I'm strongly conflicted on whether it tops blood money.

I hope that Shaolin game gets a fair chance. Could be a great game.

Overwatch is a pretty god damn good video game!

I hate to say it, but I really liked only having 3 people on this one. That's just me, though.

Watching Brad and Dan play Hitman in the other videos is awesome, but Jeff's indifference to everything in this game made this last run especially great.

This trend of so much time spent by Dan looking up and watching dumb videos he finds amusing is making UPF not worth the money.

Those three minutes of this 108-minute video makes it not worth the 67 cents you spent for the entire week's worth GB premium content?

That Doritos website is like if Xanga and Twitter got drunk, hooked up, and had a really bratty kid.

I totally agree with you on this. I would actually like to see someone else tag out Dan for at least one video of Hitman. I'm sure Brad would do way better if he had someone who didn't scream and make him do things in a way that's just more stupid than funny.

Don't get me wrong, though. I fucking love Dan. He's great in so many ways. But for Hitman to be more enjoyable for Brad, I honestly think he needs someone who's calmer. Which is to say, anyone but Dan.
