Unprofessional Fridays: 10/28/2016

It's not a proper Halloween UPF without Kish! Hopefully Jeff will put on a costume again next year.

@oscar__explosion: Not eating Taco Bell everyday will do that to you.

@marginalmagus: A lot of that is water weight from the initial drop in calories, and I'm sure he isn't consistently measuring at the same time of day (ie. for scale readings to have any meaning, you should weigh yourself at the same time every morning, after relieveing yourself, and take an average of the week).

Can we move on from all the You Tube asides we've had the past few weeks?

It's not fine unless you are grossly obese going from 350-335 or something. Losing that much in such a short time is due to extreme methods and is very likely to lead to gaining the weight back once that unsustainable behavior ceases.

F.E.A.R. is one of the greatest games of all time.

I still wish Monolith could make No One Lives Forever 3. Sort it out people...

@onemanarmyy:

Thanks for the info.

I enjoy some of the solo stuff the site does, but having at least two people together always makes it more entertaining.

More people should watch Big Trouble In Little China. It's truly a classic.

If GameSpot ever falls apart, I hope Giant Bomb can get Mary. She's awesome and fits really well with the rest of the team.

Also, Drew sliding that Reservoir Dogs reference when he saw the guy on the chair on F.E.A.R. (31:40)

You don't know how to use the two pinkies?

He could also be losing a lot of muscle mass, which is also bad.

I totally agree, from behind that 100% looks like Drew. I didn't see this live, but when I saw the screenshot for the vid before you hit play, I seriously just thought it was Drew.

Those Jackbox games look pretty darn cool, took them a bit to figure them out though, but I would love to see more playing of this set of games.

I have to comment on Brad's graphics card comment again. That the level isn't running smoothly is probably limited by the CPU and not the GPU.

At 1:01:16, that 'Get Gummy Hands' is a reference to One Piece; main character named Monkey D. Luffy has a 'Gomu' (rubber/stretchy) body. Neat reference in the game!

"Fashion's weird" says the man unironically wearing an AC/DC shirt.

Dan knows nothing about dieting. The Keto diet is not a gimmick, it's science and it works. I've been on it and I've lost 40 pounds in 3 months. Shit works.

"How did you make the right face for pooping your pants?!" <3

This was pretty awesome. Cool games and cool people make it cool all around! Also I think that faker game would've been better as a one-round affair :x

1:44:32

Jason cracked me the fuck up.

I liked the first one a lot. 2 was pretty good, too.

BTiLC is a stone cold classic, I expect @brad to have done his homework on this by Monday!

Mary: Queen of Halloween Costumes!

The Halloween segment is the only time the Jackbox announcer doesn't sound like a complete bleating Goatboy.

Busted!

That's been a part of UPF for pretty much the whole life span of the feature, so I'm guessing no.

I could watch them play Jackbox games forever.

Candy Corn is soooooooooo gross!

The physical interaction aspect of "Fakin' It" is really fascinating, but I can't imagine who besides professional video content producers will be able to play with an audience. I stream games, and even if I could find 4 other people in real life who want to play and don't mind being on camera, I sure as heck can't afford that many good-quality lavalier mics, and the logistics of getting all 5 people on one webcam in a position where they can see each other but not each other's screens seems next to impossible.

Correct. 15 pounds in one month will absolutely not be all fat. The larger the weight loss in a period of time, the more it is composed of water loss and lean body mass. I wish the best for him, but I've seen this hundreds of times throughout my career. On occasion some folks lose a bunch and keep it off, which I hope is the case here! But we all know how much he loves Taco Bell & garbage food.

Mary dressed as Kat made me realize that first one is one of my favorite games of this year (PS4 version) and I'm highly excited for the sequel.

Cheesy Farts Rorie and Double-Pinkie Wiper Jason are at it again!

Holy crap, that's a deep cut Red Dwarf reference at 1:05:52. Damn.

I... did not expect that to be the case, haha.

Didn't mean any of that in an insulting way (re-reading my post, it sounds like I did), it's just that it's SUCH a horror movie-ass horror movie.

I still stand by 3, though. That film is a mess-terpiece.

A friend of mine was in the John Carpenter movie The Ward. John apparently had his special little area on set where he would go during filming breaks and smoke a shit ton of weed and drink whiskey. My friend was very intimidated by him.

4:15 is this a chrome bug or something? my browser has been doing the same thing and it's driving me up the wall

@dougfunk15: and we should probably also take a small step back and not be so nitpicky and judgmental of his life habits, and just appreciate dan for the cool awesome guy he is. wish him the best, in any case.

have lost 60lb myself since july and am hoping to keep it off and lose some more (at a healthy but steady rate)

Considering the staff's fetish for unhealthy food, I appreciated them talking about their goals of losing weight. Best wishes to them on the path! Drew, you troll! XD

I would rather be accosted by vegans every day for the rest of my life than hear another word about keto.

This was the best UPF in a while! I'm loving Drew in the big chair too, and Mary Kish is a gorgeous delight of a person.

Surprised that no one mentioned (or they didn't catch it from the chat) Carpenter's involvement with the pile of garbage that was F.E.A.R. 3. First game's still fun enough, fortunately.

The item also looks like a devil fruit.

As a broke ass stoner with no muchies the first 8mins of this video are hell on earth..

Unprofessional Frightday

Brad is the original Press Sneak Fuck.

Also, what the heck is Mary dressed up as? I'm at a complete loss.

I did wish him the best. And part of that is providing realistic feedback based on science and trends like i did. By the way, do youhave some sort of blood oath to critically reply to everything i write here?

@dougfunk15: uh no i have not? i know you say you have experience, but aometimes people here harp on the staff's personal lives a little much so even if well meaning it comes across a bit too strong. but thanks for the advice, i suppose.

A lot of people here are saying "that's a deep cut" when they mean "that's an obscure reference"

Unless, of course, people think Mary's Galaxy Rush costume is a scathing insult directed at someone.

Kish with the Kat costume!
