Unprofessional Fridays: 11/11/2016

Yay, missed it this morning :D

Just checked in to see if there was something new and this appeared. I <3 UPFs. :D

Wow, they just give you a straight up tablet to use as a remote control for that TV. That's nuts!

I actually really enjoy the handycam shots at the start.

Brad fumbling with the tablet remote, Jason "you've never used Android" nearly spit out my beer haha

im surprised Jeff doesnt know about using a fine silver or brass polish for the contacts on video game cartridges. It has worked wonders on cartridges that were beyond the help of rubbing alcohol.

Jeff has made that Duke Nukem Forever reference twice in the past couple months and I never want him to stop

Man, I wish they hadn't voiced Corvo. : \

No Dan?

Nothing beats 4K in 720p!

Does P.T. transfer over to the pro? I still have it installed on my ps4 AND NEVER WANT TO GET RID OF IT. If it does safely transfer over though I would be comfortable switching to a pro then selling the ps4 for a couple hundred.

@malnourish: Dan is being Dirty in APW tonight.

That Spike game has a look to it. Dayum.

@kylerramos: Yes, it will transfer as long as you do a backup and restore it on your pro. The way I did it is I backed everything up to an external hdd and restored it to the pro. You can also transfer everything from one console to the other via ethernet cable. You can get details on how to do either method on Sony's site.

What brand of tv did the guys get?

Just wanted to say that the content has been amazing lately. It always is, but the past few weeks the GB crew has done so much.

So that's what the back of Brad's head looks like.

Those handheld shots are good!

so many screens! THE NUMBERS, MASON!

@brad: Your Hokkaido loadout slots open back up once you hit level 20 on that map.

The Colorado and Hokkaido escalations are also probably two of the most difficult ones in the game. In Colorado, the target you need to burn/crush pretty much never gets in the right place without being dragged there, which is nearly impossible without taking all of the other guards out first. In Hokkaido, there is a safe you need to rob, and then kill another target within 60 seconds using only the katana, shuriken or accidents. Not the easiest thing to plan.

The remote mine isn't great for throwing, more for placing. It has a short-ish range and the bounce is unpredictable. The remote CX block has a much bigger damage range, and doesn't bounce as much.

For the DDR machine, it's worth looking up the Techman Easter egg/hidden challenge.

Everything about this was great except for the sound of Jeff cleaning vectex contacts. That drove me up the goddamn wall and I had to stop watching

That N7 jacket though.

Holy shit, that remote stuff fucking sucks. Multiple account logins, software updates, ads. Actual hell.

Watching this recorded later, the beta player is really nice - so easy to cast to my Chromecast!

The music in the racing management game is funny, but as somebody who watches a lot of WRC and occasional F1, they really do get pretty dramatic with their TV coverage music so I am not surprised with their choice here.

Oh man this is like seeing the wall that you never saw in Jerry's apartment in Seinfeld.

Really liking Jeff's N7 jacket.

@coldhands0802: I'm glad they voiced him, I just wish they picked an actual good actor. That VO was rough

Infinite Brad is still not enough Brad. I need uncountably infinite Brad, at least.

I wasn't too interested in Dishonored 2. After hearing Corvo's incessant narration for that brief period of Jason playing, I think I'm definitely going to take a hard pass on this game. That was the first time in along time that I've felt the urge to yell at a character to just shut up.

Crovo sounds like he's being voiced by the same actor who played Garrett in the Thief series.

The Vectrex can be so frustrating. At least Jeff didn't run into the problem I typically do with mine, where it looks like the cartridge is working... then it boots to the built-in Mine Storm game. I'll happily take random corruption over that; at least it's obvious that there's an issue with the connection when that happens.

I actually think Spike is a little too easy to be a classic (you can play it for hours without it putting up much of a challenge), but boy oh boy does it make a wonderful first impression.

This was great. Also yeah, the Vectrex can be super frustrating.

@stordoff: If you don't care about rank/score the Hokkaido one is pretty easy! I literally ran up to him and just cut him before running back downstairs.

Fuck the Colorado escalation though.

Does anyone know what sort of camera drew was using at the beginning?

So weird how people are going on about 4K so much like it's this amazing new thing, we've had 4K monitors for years, 4K TV's have been cheap for years and our phones even have 1440p screens, the iPad is approaching 4K as well.

@kylerramos: You should be able to use the backup utility of your base PS4 to back up the content of the hard drive — including P.T. — and then then restore it to a PS4 Pro. I'd just suggest that you make sure you were wanting to swap the stock PS4 Pro hard drive for something bigger/faster, you do that switch before you restore your backup.

I think for most people stuff like the PS Pro is the first thing that they`ve actually wanted that utilizes 4K, so they`ve had absolutely no reason to buy one before now. Of course monitors have had it for years but that`s a really small niche. Your definition of cheap may vary also, I think there`s probably people who would disagree with you saying that (good) 4K TVs have been cheap for years. There`s also people like Brad who`s waiting on OLED 4K TVs to become cheap enough to buy.

Holy shit that "TV Remote" thats actually just a tablet is wild. I guess that just shows how cheap tablets have become.

Doom at 120 fps on that tv is just amazing worth checking out.

What was so bad about the Dishonored 2 voice acting? I wasn't hearing it.

I totally enjoyed the energy and atmosphere of this UPF. Really fun. I think it was partly because everyone was doing something, like being at a friend's house. Just positive fun vibes. Quieter too.

Thanks for showing these games.

That tablet remote thing seems awful, hopefully it doesn't become common with newer TVs. Forced use of Google services to control your TV is dumb. I had to use an app for a while to control my xbmc box and it felt so much better when I got an IR receiver and went back to using a remote with actual buttons.

What model tv is that?

New 4K TV hype!

New video player hype!

Man, screw that TV remote. Some things shouldn't be revolutionized.

That TV looks amazing and I honestly kinda like the Android tablet-remote. What model of TV is that?

Motorsport Manager's menu music is weirding me out. That Call of Duty music...
