Unprofessional Fridays: 09/21/2018

In terms of videos, I'd say this was an almost full combo. Thanks, and glad to see the gang all together again! <3

Heck yeah I like to party Jan!

I love to party. It is a preference of mine.

My name is Rod and I like to party.

@janman Linkin Park first concert buddies!

Hell yeah! My first concert was Weird Al too!

First concert was TOOL in 1999. I came about 16 times. I didn't wear clothes for a year after that.

@bbqbram: Oh man.. Mars Volta! Came some more.

This one felt like it really had that old school UPF vibe.

My first concert was actually Mountain at a state fair, I just remember the smell of light cigarettes.

Every UPF should be fueled by Nevadan energy drinks! Rorie was on fire!

They talk about Telltale at all?

Tales form the Borderlands is the best thing Tell Tale ever did. Batman season 1 and 2 were interesting, weird noone bought it (Batman fatigue in general + fatigue from bad DCEU stuff?). I would have enjoyed getting a second season of Wolf Among Us. Guardians of the Galaxy was a crap game in every way.

@gecoma108 Yeah, they spend some time in at least 2 segments talking about it.

Weird local energy drinks are the best energy drinks. Even if they cause heart attacks!

Weird Al was also my first concert.

My first concert was an Enslaved concert :') didn't like the band at all on cd but I liked it live. Weirdly enough they sounded less like a mess than on cd :p Im guessing the sound-engineer at that live gig was doing a great job.

Concerts are great but also...ehhhh. Id rather spend time making music with people than standing around and looking at other people doing that, that always eats at me when at a concert. That could obviously change if I'd spent satisfactory amounts of time on making music with others myself but hey, as is, thats rarely been the case.

Jesus, of course they did - at chat's insistence. Can't say I understand everybody's over-eagerness to hear GB's immediate reactions to that news. They'll obviously talk about it on the Bombcast on Tuesday! UPF seems like the wrong kind of location to get into such a serious, professional discussion. Relax, y'all.

I hope Brad can finally take down that boss in the next 'Breaking Brad'. The Fountain is more like The Dick, am I right?

@garwalk: Tuesday?..But you dont understand, we need to know everything immediately! At all times! From everyone!

They still make Crunk! Juice my man. I was drinking a can not three days ago. Did you know they changed the can design to be less intense, and they branched out into other flavors? You can still get the original mix, it's called Pomegranate. I got mine at a gas station but a quick search led me to find that you can buy that shit straight from Amazon. Shipping looks like it'll take a couple weeks, but it's damn near impossible to find these days, I got incredibly lucky. I'm honestly considering putting an order in just to make the whole thing easier on myself, because it definitely is the best energy drink I've ever had.

Fuck this sounds like an ad for the shit.

Pop Star wasn't that good; I wonder if I just didn't have as low expectations as others cuz I thought it was mediocre af and pretty predictable. Now Hot Rod that is a comedy; it is one of the best comedies of its time in fact. First concert was John Mellencamp thanks to my dad. Wish he had the Cougar at the time.

UPF

FFFFFUUUUUUU

Vinny sent me

Things I never thought I'd hear on Unprofessional Fridays:

"Brad, if you'd like some more ephedrine..." - Jeff Gertsmens

I have very rarely heard anyone say "welcome in", but before hearing Jeff state that the phrase is, in fact" welcome in", I always thought the person speaking was saying "willkommen" - German for "welcome". I like mine better.

First concert I went to was Fred Eaglesmith, a Canadian alternative country music singer/songwriter. Great music, great guy to see live. This was in a bar before I was even old enough to drink.

First arena/stadium show I went to was Roger Waters' The Wall Live. That was just a great spectacle.

Brad needs to try a different strategy in Rogue Legacy, concerning the knifethrow from the sides. He always flees almost as far as he can. But this doesn't give him more time to react. If you would stay close enough to see the knifes hovering in the air, you might find it easier to see complete blind spots and the boss might spam the attack more often because of your distance. Try some stuff. Also more hits in before the blades from below start.

Rorie shouting about how great his game is and continuing to play despite nobody paying any attention at all made me realize that I am the Rorie in my life.

The first gig I ever went to was as a young lad in high school, seeing Mr. Bungle in Sydney, Australia.

Apart from local gigs I think my first big 'concert' was the last day at Leeds Fest '01? Think the Manic Street Preachers headlined that year.

Following up on this: Anytime a product for human consumption has to havea memorandum on their website explaining why it is technically in compliance with FDA prohibitions, you know you're in for something special.

Mine was Weird Al also! He opened for The Monkeys.

@garwalk said:

You seem a little worked up over your exhortations that everybody relax.

First concert was The Offspring with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones opening for them. good show.

I can't talk about the Italian Hero pizza at papajohns but their 6 cheese pepperoni and Italian sausage with added onions, gp, bo (personal choice) is good :)

We need a Mario Party Party spin-off episode with Pummel Party and also a new episode once that new Mario Party comes out, hopefully we'll get one for christmas when GBE visits for GOTY talks! Would be pretty neat.

@garwalk: I kinda despise the whole, "Why didn't they talk about X???" mentality in general. Sometimes they don't want to talk about something and that's fine. Or they aren't aware of it and it will come up later or oh god who cares?

HENTAI ASS PLAY

There's a ton of stuff coming out next week, but Brad always dismisses indies and smaller games as being noteworthy.

Please have a fantabulous weekend too.

Why are you guys still using 360 controllers in 2018? For PC, One or third-party-whatever is the way to go (you can even use PS4 in some cases, but One is universally supported).

First concert: Yo la Tengo. I stood next to the stacks, they played their nutso cover of "Nuclear War" (one of my favorite bits about that band is that they write some of the quietest songs that have ever existed but they know how to get loud as hell and rock out when they want to) and I nearly lost my hearing at age 17. I still don't stand all that close to the stage to this day because of that week following the show.

Ben really knows how to pick a stinker for UPF

UPF and QLs getting bespoke art whah the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?!?!

"Not enough nudity in those games for me" Rorie, 2018

Man, so unprofessional... :)

Getting your ass eaten feels good, btw. (yes, this is a reference to something that was said in the video - towards the end, but I would likely share this info regardless - PSA)

@foreveralice: Rorie is the audience surrogate.

Man, Anarchy Reigns is so great. If he's up to it, Jason should totally play some multiplayer with bots to get an idea of how to make the game really shine. It sucks it never got split screen.

i feel like there were like two conversations going on for the entirety of this video, and one of them was just rorie, saying anything

First concert I remember going to was U2 it was when they were promoting there shitty album Discotech. I remember Bono wore this stupid muscle shirt while he was on stage.

I saw other weird concerts because of my parents when I was young. I live in Eugene Oregon the town that worshipped the Grateful Dead back in the day so I just remember weird concerts from when I was young.
