Can't see Jeff Green moving back to the press side. I don't know how much he earns but I bet it is a lot less than a press position, even a senior one, would pay.
 
So I turned on my 360 for the first time in awhile to discover a set of increasingly angry messages from someone that “appeared" in a recent Quick Look. It starts with “yo man I heard you were talking shit about me in a video" and then escalates to “I AM GONNA SUE U" over the course of, like, three hours. As if this guy is completely incapable of seeing that I wasn’t online when he sent the messages.

I was, at first, tempted to put all the messages out there because his high-pitched whining was kind of hilarious, but it’s probably best to just let it go. I don’t even remember talking mess about the guy in the Quick Look in question, but then it wasn’t a particularly memorable game.

From Jeff's Tumblr. Any idea who he's talking about? I'm hoping it's Ice T but I don't think he's been in any Quick Looks lately.

Why do you guys think he was talking about someone famous? I assume it was just some random person online they saw in multiplayer or something that someone made a snide comment about.

That's a good point. I assumed it was someone "famous" because random people online are for the most part anonymous so making fun of them isn't personal. Of course if it was xXsmokedog420Xx then we already know they lack good judgment so anything is possible.
 
Just Vinny, Brad and Drew for the live show this week. Hope Vinny is off his meds.

Pat can't do quick looks alone. It just doesn't feel the same unless there is another person watching or playing too.

He should have his mom sit in. She already was in spookin.

"What's that?"

"Russian mutant. I took him down with a head shot though"

"That's nice dear".
 
Jeff Green contributing to GB is some way would be godly.

I still have this feeling one day I will wake up and read Jeff has left the site everyoone else are now senior gamespot staff or something though.
 
Jeff's Tumblr:
Yo, just wondering if you guys are thinking of setting up different video pages for subscription shows? As someone who just subscribed it's a bit tedious to have to sift through all the tnt and unpro Fridays to get to the Jar times, Flight clubs and so on

Yup, we’ve been talking about either breaking out more video categories or getting some sort of “show page" concept that works a little bit like the podcast page but for groups of videos.

People have been asking for this since the Whiskey Media stuff, and it compounded over the years with more features. 'Bout time, but I don't expect this for quite some time. Still better to use http://qlcrew.com for finding videos.
 
Is there DotA today? It's the kickoff of the International. There has to be DotA.

So I guess Jeff Green is having a mild existential crisis, but he says he wants to do more writing about games and podcasting.

Just sayin'.

If I were a wealthy startup type I would fund that. A dream team of games writers who aren't afraid of criticizing the business or of introspection.
