What exactly is this thread at this point?
As for the actual topic, I feel like this week's UPF shows that they need to rethink the show. It's funny that it included Brad explaining the origin, because it's come so far from the original idea.
Then again maybe I'm the only one who found it a bit dull?

The pitch was: hang out and play a game multiple times because the staff is interested in playing more.
It has become: hang out and give micro quick looks of games the staff has no real interest in playing.
The disconnect seems clear. And it's unfortunately self-inflicted, because lots of folk don't actually want to see them play a game more than once in a non-ER/Playdate style. (Hence the Doom complaints) Dunno where they go from there.

I thought this week's UPF was great. Y'all haters.
I thought this week's was great up until Street Fighter when my eyes kind of glazed over because Dan was trying to brute force learn morse code with an arcade stick.

When UPF first started it seemed like a way for the guys to showcase a genre or a game they cared about personally either for comedy value or out of pure interest.
I'm seeing this in EU a lot. It's fucking bullshit, what's the difference between just healing them or isolating them somewhere else until the mission is over

I mean, that's kinda what happened this upf? It's not like blood money and the older x-com games fit into the things people have been complaining about.

I do like the idea that it existed solely so Vinny could call Zobek
yeah this week's was fine and Brad playing Doom was fine until he did it three weeks in a row.

I looked at this video once again after not looking at it for a long time...

Still great.

Now that I think about it. A simalar "everybody bring a random game to play" livestream of GB east would be cool.
Might be a nightmare with their smaller setup though. Not even sure they could switch systems mid stream.
Austin would bring every gundam game ever made for an entire year
I think Austin looks at the chat too much for that to work

Austin's Extra Life stream was amazing, in terms of the sheer variety of what he played.
yup! He said he's done plenty of streams before GB, I wish I had watched them.

Yeah, at this point I think it's just some people don't know what they want from UPF.

without Vinny's media training, it just kind of fell apart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbviNjxcnA8

This past UPF was fine as it seemed like they actually brought stuff they were interested in, I think there's less of that than there was back when it was a new feature but that's to be expected. I actually think most of the ones this year have been solid for the most part, I'd like them to mess with the format a little but I don't think it needs to be killed off.
I really enjoyed Austin's extra life stream, the man has a knack for turning shitty stream questions into an actual interesting discussion while also managing to keep the games interesting.

My first thought in response to this was "are there really 52+ Gundam games?"
My second thought was, "fucking of course there are, because Japan," and looked it up on popular website giantbomb.com.
128 Gundam games. Jesus Christ.

What I want from UPF is a episode consisting solely of 4 Player New Super Mario Bros Wii / U "Coin Battle" mode with a reward and a forfeit for both the winner and loser.
Is it? I dont really know. I dont think I have ever seen milk labeled with a % symbol personally.
The way I know what milk to buy is the different coloured caps / lables
Dark Blue - Full Fat
Light Blue - Low Fat
Green - I dont know
I guess the last one is basically water then.
I drank Buttermilk once by accident, and that shit tasted horrible....
In Germany we just print the percentage on the packaging. You know, like any normal nation should do.

Commas are for listing things, periods are a demarcation (like in this sentence). It's agin natures way to do it backwards!
When they play games they like, Bad People say "oh, its them playing X again it no gooooood" and they seem to listen to that feedback.
Or maybe it was something Ryan put in to stop Brad from playing Dota 2 in every one of his segments back in the day or something, I dunno.
That's when it got excellent!

Were you running through the mystic night?
Period is the proper decimal mark and comma is the proper symbol for digit grouping.
Skim milk is OK with cereal but is worse than 1% and 2% but I prefer Almond milk because is lasts longer in the fridge and regular milk usually goes bad before I even use half of it.
Jingle All The Way is a great Christmas movie.
I want more MGScanlon so it can just be finished and where is the demo derby at?
I personally hope they stop

Oh... I forgot about the whole DotA 2 thing. Yeah, that would change things considerably.
MOBA content is really the worst. I can even stand sports and MMO QLs, but MOBAs are just unbearable.

I will grant you Europeans the metric system. I will maybe grant you using single quotation marks. But you bastards will never take the decimal point from me.

I mean you don't put commas at the end of sentences. Europe, you're wrong.
