Can't wait for another Unprofessional Fridays. Hopefully its uploaded a bit earlier this time. Sucks I can't be there to see it live.
 
shut down giantbomb until patrick makes his glorious return

fun fact, I had to look up collar bone, you english people and your anatomical names... Patrick, hope you recover soon from your Schlüsselbeinbruch. See, that sounds way more impressive in German.

I feel yelled at just sounding that out in my head. German is a hostile language.
 
Would I be beating a dead horse if I asked about PAXAus attendance here? I've heard no replies to tweets / emails from the crew to anyone on this :/

(Admitedly, It wouldn't be cheap for the poor guys, the US$ sucks right now and Melbourne is not a cheap place, at all)

Schlüsselbeinbruch ist scheisse.
Get well soon Patrick.

It has a tougher reputation than it deserves, really. Shorter phonemes and a more staccato-like flow in many words may have it appear that way to foreign ears, but generally, that's not really reflective of the beauty that can also be found in the language. Artfully written and correctly pronounced and German can produce some beautiful poetry. Probably not as effortlessly as French, though. :D

Would be nice idea to promote this unprofessional Friday premium content via a free week or something. I am interested but the idea of content behind a paywall doesn't' sit right until I can sample the goods.
 
Breaking your collar bone is a sonofabitch for a really, really long time. Good luck Patrick, make sure you file a claim against the city just in case.

One free episode a month would be cool, that's what they used to do with the Happy Hour. Hell you could even rotate which feature non-subscribers get to see for free each month.

On a side note, still no more Bradley May Cry :(

Unprofessional Fridays has been great, but for a moment there it looked like we'd be getting other subscriber shows throughout the week as well, bummer that that looks like it won't be the case.

Can't wait until Dave gets freed up a bit and we get some more Dave/Vinny content.
 
But seriously, I broke my collar bone a while ago and had to wear a sling for a while, and it took a good two months or so before I got anywhere near feeling "normal" again. It was virtually impossible to play video games sometimes, especially on the PC with m/kb. I would have killed to have my iPad back then.

that does not bode well for Kleptok
 
Hope Patrick gets better soon, drinking then biking probably wasn't the best descision though.

X-COM was also a terrible terrible choice for TNT.

I had to look it up as well. But collar bone is actually much more self-explanatory than Schlüsselbein.

Get well, Patrick! I hope you have awesome doctors.
 
Playing a 3DS with one hand sounds impossible. The only games I can think of that you could play with one hand are adventure games or PC turn based games maybe.

Fire emblem is a turn based game.

Also he probably could use two hands, it's just that his mobility would be severely affected.
 
What is a unmarked pothole? Why do they need to be marked? Why aren't they just fixed? Why didn't Patrick see the pothole? Why did Vin Diesel race his dads car, jump a train and crash it into a truck?
