Did Jeff ever finish reading Space Jam, or did they just drop that joke?
He mentioned it in the latest UPF. Apparently he lost the book due to his messy(er) desk.

He claims to have misplaced the book.
Ryan Davis probably stole it, the heel that he is.
And then proceeded to not read it.

I'm not a member so I can't watch UF, what game are you guys talking about here?
Lethal League, mainly.

Thanks!
This game is crazy, it plays like I imagine Divekick to play.

Ahahah Lethal League is literally the Divekick concept done properly (ie in a way thats actually intuitive to people that arent invested in fighters)

Did they go into Lethal League fresh, or did someone play it beforehand? Part of the joy of the UFGT9 stream was the gradual discovery of mechanics, which was helped by the participants not bothering to read the instructions and you know the crew are great at doing that.

Jeff was the only one with any familiarity from what I could tell. But he didn't realize you could hit upwards so that was something that came about naturally as they played.

Vinny was instantly hooked after playing it. It was great. One more match!

Brad played Element4l
Ryan played Cart Life
Jeff played Injustice
Patrick played Shadow Warrior
Vinny played Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe (with the others)
Jeff and Vinny played Lethal League
I think that was everything? Watching Brad play Element4l was nearly as frustrating as the Quick Look. Cart Life is always extremely interesting and had all of them engaged. Jeff playing Injustice was a bit boring because he was just doing training with the two DLC characters but it was short so it didn't wear out its welcome. I enjoyed everything around Shadow Warrior but they definitely weren't overly kind about how it had aged. Vinny's gaming time was good and everyone seemed to be having a decent time.
Watching the last ten minutes for Lethal League was the true highlight and that was completely unplanned by them. If nothing else watch that.
I thought this was a better UF than a couple recent ones due to the guys being into it a bit more but I also think them playing games that we saw very recently in Quick Looks really lessens some of the surprise of seeing them bring out the random stuff. I would almost suggest you just skip the Element4l stuff if you were frustrated by the Quick Look but I did start enjoying it towards the end when A) Brad had moments where he played better and B) When he did poorly the other guys generally found it humorous.
Wasn't Dave supposed to be coming in regularly and doing stuff?

I don't think anyone said regularly.
He's still on the road, on vacation, for a couple more weeks at least. Or so he just said on twitter.
Thanks dude.

What a surprise they continue to recycle stuff they have done recently.
Beginning to regret buying a years subscription, slowly beginning to dislike everything about GB.

Given that the show was billed from day one as "we play whatever the fuck we want to", you don't really have any room to whine about this.

Another apologist, I will whine about whatever I want. If they don't try new things whats the point in subscribing if you can see the same content but for free in quicklooks.

Lethal league is hype as fuck.
Pong as a fighting game is such a brilliant idea.

Ah, man. A tweet on the GB homepage spoiled the GSL finals for me. Oh well. I guess that's the risk you take when you have to rely on VODs. If anyone else plans on watching it, I suggest avoiding Brad's twitter feed.

I think apologist is my new least favorite word.

Seriously. Since when the fuck did "I think your complaint is dumb and baseless, here's why" equate to "UGHHH DEFENSE FORCE TIEM"? If you can't handle your criticism being open to being criticised in kind, kindly get the fuck off the Internet.

And are New Balance shoes still somewhat of a thing in the US or is it just Ryan? As a European, I only know them from the late 90s, we were cool kids and called them Nutella shoes. Now, I find them to be pretty hideous.

They're also made in the US which is quite rare with any clothes manufacturing.
