Jeff doesn't like to give any quarter to anyone that doesn't know how to play a game.

I remember in the MvC3 quicklook, he had Brad just pick characters and started styling on him without explaining anything about how the game worked.

He kind of seems like someone I wouldn't like to play games with.

He seems to do it, and then they either ask for help or he ends up explaining how the game functions afterwards. But yea, Jeff apparently likes to take a big steaming dump on beginners.

He'd love Dota!

He just strikes me as incredibly competitive when playing games, and I guess that's part of it. Both he, Dan and Brad are competitive dudes, so MP streams will be fun!

To be honest Jeff seems like the type to be a really salty loser. Which also kind of explains why he likes old MKs as no-one really plays those seriously, so he can win most of the time. :P

Dan's not too far off the mark either. There were episodes on GI where Dan would bring up other times he lost to someone but rub it in greatly when beating someone. I can't think of many off the top of my head but Dan can get salty. Ninja Gaiden Super Replay comes to mind.
 
Jeff's been really great recently. Seems way happier than usual. I knew Dan would be perfect for giant bomb and the future looks great with him there.

It's weird, initial impressions I've read were mostly were positive. (re: Retron)

It is weird. The problem with Street Fighter happened to me, but sometimes you can just play "unknown cartridge" and it will run. My only concern is the strong ass grip the retron gets on the games. Screwed up one of my NES carts. I hope over time they get loose cause I don't want my games ripped apart.

Yeah, but he was even happier last week. I think the recent drama gave him a bit of a kicking.

the twist: I also hate coke

I've only drunk it twice in my life - when I tried for the first time as a kid, and once accidentally when I grabbed the wrong cup at a fast food place. #ddfunfacts

As it would with anyone, really. Still, getting some positive vibes from everyone the last few weeks, Jeff especially. He seems really positive on the future of the site, which is great to hear.
 
I think I stopped watching at the F1 game. Worth watching past that? How long did it run for? Just to be clear I was thoroughly entertained to that point I just had other things to do.
 
Between the lack of Rorie, Brad in DotA mode and long stretches of Jeff and Dan trying to get the Retron 5 to actually read the cartridges the stream was okay I wasn't particularly blown away.
 
The new Ryan video on the front page is great.
 
I know I shouldn't be reading YT comments, but I was bored and this popped up under the Pre-Eedom stream:

The real giant bomb happens in NY all other Giant Bombs are sickly and weak in the penis.
