My favorite part is where he took umbrage with a out-of-context line of the review, and then his criticism of it went on to say some of the exact same things that were in the actual review.

Was that the one who married into Billy Gunn's family?
Sorry, requirement of the Giant Bomb thread. Saw a wrestling reference to be made, couldn't let it pass.

I really, really hope it's a Jeff and Vinny coast-to-coast job.

The tying condition: crappy decision making in clutch times.
A great part of that video is Drew's reaction to Brad at 2.10.
That is what fans of anything still look like.

Why was the TP score such a big deal back then? Was it being a Wii launch game a factor? No one really gave a shit when GS gave Skyward Sword a 7.5. I mean, I'm sure someone gave a hit but it isn't notorious.

Also sounds like the pc port doesn't even run for some people.
Because it was for a game that was the "true" sequel to OOT instead of that babby WW shit

The Order is just as good as Gears of War.
It being a launch game for the Wii was part of it for sure, but people were so hyped for TP. It being a "realistic" Zelda game. Remember people crying during the E3 trailer? Yeah, that was the kind of hype behind that game. So when Gamespot was the first site to give it a score below 9, even if it was 0.2 points below, people just lost their shit. The reaction probably made it the most infamous game review of all time.
If he'd given it a 9, the reaction wouldn't have been close to what it was. So people basically freaked out about 0.2 points.
I'm not sure why people didn't react as angrily to the 7.5 review, but the timing of the TP review (it being the first review below 9) and the absolutely insane hype behind the game would be my guess for the main differences.
thankfully, the 3ds vc versions are perfectly viable
and i got 2 and 3 on nes so can't get more faithful than that. wish i had 6, as well, though.

I just realized that Jeff is going to like MGSVs story quite a biy. He said it sounds neat on jeff.zone...and I know details about the story that lines up with Jeffs likes.
Probably not. You never know with the Bombcast.
You never know with him. He said he wanted a full-blown crazy Kojima storyline recently.
I know that feeling drew

Jeff must have been so devastated by the Gears Remaster that he canceled the bombcast 
I remember my 12 year old around self hyped about TP. I was first immersed into Zelda two years before TP's release with the Zelda Collector's Edition for NGC (OoT, MM, Zelda 1, Zelda 2, WW demo). That is, and was, a great collection.
The first TP trailer is still incredible. A shame the game's premise was revised a lot.
Indeed.

Sony fanboys are slowly starting to eclipse Nintendo fanboys in their insanity.
Drew shaved his beard again?
Lol what makes you immediately think this is a recent picture?

So is Giantbomb shutting down? Is it because Brad decided to leave?
Haven't you seen the latest review? It's because they don't like video games anymore.
We all should have seen this coming when people were complaining that the Order doesn't offer anything that Gears didn't offer 9 years ago.

In the order's defense it's pretty much the perfect rental, 10/5 on the rental scale. It's just a terrible game to spend $60 on.
