In an attempt to save the other thread, feel free to let all of your doritosgate emotions free here.

Presumably this will be after the VGAs.

For reference this is doritosgate: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=43585156&postcount=1

 

[EviLore]

While sitting next to which fine beverage and snack products?

 

[Iacobellis]

Another man leaving his current job for a far worse one. Happened too many times this year already!

 

[atomsk]

This will be delicious and packed with sodium

 

[Thoraxes]

He just needs a Dew first to replenish his fuel.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Hark, his Dewiness Dorito Pope Keighley I will hence issue a papal bull! Tune into his holy see at GTTV for more information.

 

[JimFear]

lolz
I cant wait to see the bonus round with the doritos and mountain dew p.r guy

 

[electroshockwave]

Someone needs to shop dorito hat Geoff into a picture of the pope addressing the crowd from his balcony.

 

[Rikkun]

Evilore nailing in the first reply, there you go.

I love you GAF. Never change.

 

[Robso]

What was the uproar, if it was that, all about?

 

[GK86]

When are the crappy VGA's again?

 

[chickdigger802]

What is there to say?

All jobs have their highs and lows.

One day, you maybe showing off the next generation consoles to the world. One day, you may have to drink the new game fuel on camera.

 

[Live Free or Die]

What's to respond to? He did nothing wrong.

 

[Izick]

Well, at least he's acknowledging it.

 

[jman2050]

Geoff gonna do the dew.

 

[zroid]

Oh man, I'm excited

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

At least he'll get the chance to chip away at the speculation.

 

[torta_smasher]

first post nailed it

 

[prwxv3]

At least he'll get the chance to chip away at the speculation.

hahahaha oh wow

 

[Parakeetman]

pretty much says it all.

Will be interesting to see what he says about the whole mess though.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Good on him... Well, meh, it's kind of late.

 

[Cipherr]

I don't understand why he would bother. Folks are going to want blood either way. Nothing that he says, NOTHING that he says will help in any way. Even if by some miracle he manages to say something insightful and heartfelt, it'll be twisted and rolled back on itself 5 minutes after he says/types it.

Best to just leave it dead IMO. If they feel like they need to make some changes in the way they do business, then do it. Don't waste time talking about it, there is nothing to gain there.

 

[theytookourjobz]

He seems like a cool dude. The hate should be reserved for something more dubious.

 

[BGBW]

He's going to accuse us of making a mountain out of a mole hill.

 

[BobTheFork]

He'll be announcing a teaser for the release date of his response when the countdown timer is revealed after getting 10k likes on facebook.

 

[MikeE21286]

Geoff Keighley is now the new official sponsor of Taco Bell and Rockstar Energy.

Full circle.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Sadist]

It will be ten minutes of Geoff eating Doritos and drinking MD. Afterwards he'll put on some sunglasses and yells: deal with it.

 

[Neuromancer]

At least he'll get the chance to chip away at the speculation.

Haha

Seriously though this is a good move. Maybe he can come away from it with some dignity intact.

 

[grimshawish]

New sponsor then?
I always preferred Pringles anyway.

 

[funkystudent]

Good.


In all honesty I have no beef with Geoff having his own marketing deal with Doritos. He isnt a reviewer and famous people have these kind of deals all the time. I see it no different then a morning talk show host or actor getting paid to say they like a phone or deodorant or something. Yeah its kind of lame but whatever I dont look at those people for buying advice anyway and I dont look at Geoff and GTTV for honest buying advice.

Its cool to get his honest opinion it though since he is a pretty smart guy and 95% of the fallout had nothing to do with him, he was just unlucky being the straw that broke the camels back.

Who knew one funny jpeg would cause such a mess?

 

[Clydefrog]

There's still time for some pizza sponsorships

 

[Grecco]

I hope Geoff shows up to the vgas in full doritos pope regalia and doritosmobile

 

[MechaX]

He seems like a cool dude. The hate should be reserved for something more dubious.

Hate? Oh no, the hate is not going to Keighley at all.

It is just by happenstance that he is a symbol for all of this.

 

[alr1ght]

He's going to accuse us of making a mountain dew out of a mole hill.

fixed

 

[The Mana Legend]

Someone tell me about Doritosgate.

I keep hearing jokes about it, and have seen the Doritos Pope, but I do not know the context.

 

[BGBW]

New sponsor then?

Appropriate for Doritosgate. Once it popped it just didn't stop.

 

[Izick]

I know it's an oldie (with other guys in the photo besides Dorito King Geoff), but it's still quite funny.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Announcement of an announcement about an announcement about chips.

 

[geebee]

Took him long enough to come up with what will probably be some weak BS excuse.

 

[Phonomezer]

What's Doritosgate?

 

[MisterHero]

Even without the Doritos and Mountain Dew, Geoff Keighley is a shill for talking about an audience-pandering game like Halo 4. Rab Florence or whatever-his-name-is is a hero for pointing something out that average gamers couldn't see for themselves.

Spoiler

not really. time to get off the high horse

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Twas on the midnight hours of Christmas Eve that Pope Geoff Doritos blessed the world with Code Red and Salsa Verde holiday consumer spirit.

Amen.

Lol

 

[Interficium]

"My response is that entitled gamers wearing tin-foil hats are making a mountain out of a molehill."

(Expand this tweet to see lots 'o LOLS from PR flacks)

 

[nonnocere]

I asked the question everyone wanted to ask on Twitter and he responded!

 

[Sadist]

Appropriate for Doritosgate. Once it popped it just didn't stop.

Pringles Pope has a nice ring to it. PP would be a great abbreviation!

 

[Salsa]

Im confident that he can save face. He's good at what he does and seems to honestly care.

 

[prwxv3]

Good on him... Well, meh, it's kind of late.

It was a good idea to wait until the shitstorm died out a bit before saying anything.
