Unprofessional Fridays: 10/16/2015

First. And it doesn't even matter anymore :(

Hooray for unprofessionality!

You know what? Wrestling can be pretty cool.

Shoney's breakfast buffet is the closest thing I have ever had to a religious experience.

Thank you Dan for introducing everyone to the Big Bad Booty Daddy

I've never even heard of Shony's.

Sounds like a phony.

boom.

So I guess the DDP Performance Center isn't the only thing I'll need to visit when I get down to Georgia some day.

Downloads have been incredibly slow for months; CDN issues?

Jason's sound effects enhance everything.

Please tell me they played more Keep Talking.

Jason was not only involved in doofy backyard wrestling he also found his way to Merrill, WI.

AFAIK research found that a human waving a sign is more effective than any machine at grabbing attention.

I don't know about everyone else, but personally downloads and streams have gotten a hell of a lot more stable for me over the last few months. Unless my local exchange is down for maintenance (which it has been a lot lately) I have no trouble saturating my 16-18Mbps connection. Whereas in the past I was having trouble getting the streams to load at minimum quality, and getting sub-100kBps speeds on some GB downloads.

@ohnooh: I see. Maybe it's just an Asia thing.

I'm remembering I played a whole lot of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and 2 on N64 and Game boy. The isometric stuff on the GB was really cool! Surprising how nostalgic I feel about this game when I had no interest in skating or the "culture" of it.

Man I needed that Really miss Ryan on the bombcast god im laughing my ass off after this

So no one on the GameSpot crew can stand in for Drew or Jason under the circumstances? Is the equipment over there not terribly similar?

Damn it, Jason. Stop with the mouth noises! 16 minutes in, and I've already reached my limits for explosion sounds and music imitation. :O

Another GB show ruined by wrestling. :(

Those textures are freaking the fuck out.

Dan Ryckert is the 4th result when google image searching Ribera Jacket. :)

Actually they expanded the Biggs BBQ to a Biggs hamburgers in Lawrence, and it is super packed always and great. Despite Dan not showing up for chicken work, they did just fine.

Wild and wacky Jeff

i forever miss dave snyder.

That wrestler doing weird math shit is definitely one of the funniest things I've ever seen on UPF. I could not breathe.

I loved Drew going down the wikihole of Powerman 5000.

Also, I admit it: I really, really like their "Tonight The Stars Revolt!" album.

@amyggen: Thanks for the tip. I tried a few, but no difference, unfortunately.

@amyggen: Dude, you're top of the class. Anytime someone on this site is having an issue, you seem to be there either helping them yourself, or directing them to the person that can. Nice work, yo.

Okay, yeah, it seems hit and miss. It helped me recently, but it doesn't seem to help everyone.

Those blue lights in the background look like they're clipping or something.

Yes, THPS2!

Beautiful.

Are any gif-masters willing to undertake the task of creating a wackey-jeff giff?

Thanks in advance.

Weird. I ate at a Shoney's yesterday morning on the way home from vacation in NOLA.

I played through all of Wrestlemania XIX on GC when I was a kid, and never thought that I was murdering these people by dumping them into the abyss. Man it was a bad game

Just downloaded THUG Pro, thanks to whoever mentioned that in the chat yesterday. It's AMAZING.

Wrestling is fucking terrible.

Nah, it's pretty great.

"... IMA TALK TO ALL MY FREAKS OUT THERE"

I played the GBA version so much. It was amazing. Also recently installed THPS3 on the PC, it really holds up well. My daughter got into it. I remember back when it was released I did a lot of online on it. Man some of those runs took long because someone was always putting down some monster score.

@morelikelames: Hah didn't know Jason is from Wisconsin.

Dreamcast THPS2 is my favorite Tony Hawk and probably one of my favorite games. I like 2 and 4 more than 3 and 1 but I love those first 4 games so much. Love it when Jeff pulls these out.
