If I ever get Around to playing Rare replay I won't touch Jet Force. I want to keep the memory that it was fun.

 

[Salarians]

I feel like I have already seen a QL of this. Is this part 2 of something?

Edit: Looked up the developer, it was Lost Constellation

In many countries it's required by law that companies cooperate with unions. You mentioned Ubisoft. In France, Ubisoft have employees who are unionized. They have 7 collective agreements.

Ubisofts Annual Investor Report from 2016, page 90.

Electronic Arts also have employees who are members of unions, namely DICE who developers of Battlefield games and the Frostbite engine.

"Approximately 8 percent of our employees, all of whom work for DICE, our Swedish development studio, are represented by a union."

Electronic Arts 2015 Annual Report, page 92.

Perhaps it's more common for European video game companies to be unionized.

Rekt.

Anti labour anti union FUD is why America is such a shit hole for the workers.

Oh great. I love fighting games. They are the best content.

Indeed I am, long story SHORT. Getting a student visa to continue my studies for a masters degree proved to be a very lengthy procedure when it comes to the US(which doesn't make sense to me because it's just a student visa). I wasn't sure when my visa was going to be done so, I switched gears and applied to a university in Brighton(I got told by various people that the UK is quite quick when it comes to student visas). Thankfully, in one week I got my student visa and now I'm living here for the time being. Really enjoying my time here so far.

In an alternate universe, I'd probably be enjoying Denver as well, especially since I love the outdoors and all.

Ah, okay. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself! Even if it's not in Denver.

Spoiler

I bet Brighton is actually cooler.

I'm surprised that jeff likes nioh.

don't shoot the messenger, man

yeah its boring af

 

[TheMadMan007]

Anything to put on in the background, I'm cool with, but I've never understood how fighting games can be fun for more than half an hour at most. I usually play the single player storyline and have had more than enough and just never touch that game again.

Don't deny the science.

Is it really science if there is only one person?

The Karaoke in Yakuza is not easy... Or maybe I'm just terrible.

 

[TraBuch]

Yakuza is a very good game series

I was pretty proud of myself when I did that substory perfectly after reading the script once.

That static test is awesome. Jeff looked like someone from Bioforge.

Between Nioh and Yakuza, I'm reeeeeaaaaaaalllly wishing I had a PS4 right now.

Right, and those are only small sections of a whole company. Like I said, if it came to it, Ubisoft would outsource and send in some of their inhouse people to oversee projects. Dice being in a union doesn't mean it would work for all of EA itself. As for your Ubisoft example, the union representatives are only in place where they are required to as to French law, meaning it's not mandatory for all their studios worldwide.(And DICE probably isn't the best example, seeing as the majority of their games after Bad Company 2 are...mediocre). I would mark that Ubisofts games also tend to be mediocre alot of the time. Coincidence? I think not!!!!

 

[ratcliffja]

I have yet to finish a PS4 game. It's only useful for playing blu-rays for me. I want to get The Last Guardian at some point, but I have way too much of a backlog for that to be a priority.

Kilo is the Greek word for "Thousand". Kilo itself doesn't mean "distance". It just means "Thousand".

I mean, "Miles Thousand" is still a cool name.

But "Mille" is Latin for thousand.

Think about it.

Anyone know if this Get Out movie is supposed to be somewhat of a comedy? Parts of the trailer look like it's going for a pretty silly vibe, then other parts look deadly serious. Also, Jordan Peele is directing it.

David?

Jeff mentioned David before on a Jar Time. He is a business/numbers guy that makes sure they can do things they want to do and not good money after bad. In the Jar Time I think Jeff said that that such a hire would keep things flowing, and his example was that more things would appear on the store. Obviously, that is not the guys only job.

Shout out to David for never bringing a boring game to UPF.

 

[Tubobutts]

What if Brad is secretly David and that's what he does all day?

 

[Blitzrules240]

I asked about the Marrakesh night time mission in Hitman we never got a QL of. It might be too late but it's a nice bonus mission...

Spoiler

The fortune teller opportunity is especially brutal

 

[MarkRenton]

Brad- "what!?"
Drew- "I did not know you could do that with those"
Jeff- "yeah its called docking, look it up."

 

[Megasoum]

All right, I got to the part in Yakuza where they stopped in the first video (to which I'm guessing is actually where the quicklook starts?). Enough for tonight but really enjoying the game so far (even if I still haven'T seen anything since since I watched the video)... Can't wait to get back to it tomorrow night.

a mix of horror/social commentary/comedy, but slanted more towards horror and social comedy.

I have a buddy who saw a test screening. said it's quite unlike anything Peele has done before and that's a very good thing.

Solo Queue is definitely a "better in theory than in practice" segment.

 

[Twin Tails]

I liked Solo Queue.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I dunno, I kind of didn't like it in theory but enjoyed it in practice.

 

[killroy87]

I liked it because I'll always watch Jeff talk for an hour, but I'm not sure how long the segment will last when he's actively searching for games he probably cant play.

 

[MarkRenton]

hope he streams this weekend

He just needs to meld this and jar time together.

No GBeast playdate this week

Shadows of the Empire is on Steam now. Forget Dark Forces, Brad should play that. It has aged horrifically.
