MP3 MP is boring and generic. Why would you want to watch that?

It's not boring and generic compared to most of the shooters they have done or will do in the next year. At least you have people diving through windows and off of roofs in slow motion. Hey, maybe they'll do Mario party again!
 
This is the footage that will show up at the trial.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, as you can clearly see here, Mr. Gerstmann and Mr. Davis are drinking Batman Mountain Dew and vodka out of paper cups, mere days before the Great Clown Heist occurred."
 
I'm waaaaay out of the soft drink loop, but that definitely did have a nice color.


I definitely remember how every berry flavor of soda had that samey taste to it, though.
 
Question on Formspring: Do you still listen to rap now that you guys find overt sexuality and violence disgusting? Dr. Dre almost beat a woman to death and then wrote a song poking fun at it, and I know you enjoy his music. Do you watch action films to cry?


Jeff: If you can't understand what we're saying with this stuff, listen harder. Fucking idiot.

...

Am I the only one who finds the question to be completely legitimate and the answer overly mean?

It might be a legit question but he presented it in a way to be a dick about it. So the reaction is justified in my eyes

Nope. Started the latest Bombcast again to see if I can figure it out. I'll "listen harder."

He did ask the question in a smarmy way, though.

I don't know. Is it any more of a dick thing than dismissing a game because of a comment of one member of a large development team?

They raised their points in the correct ways with that. I think Patrick's article on it today was great as well. This guy is just being condescending. There is a right way to raise that point but it seeems clear to me, atleast, that wasnt the point.

Nope! The guy is generalizing to make an argument and being condescending all at once!

I'm glad someone called him out on it, I thought that whole conversation on the Bombcast was a load of shit. I think the industry is very bored right now with this being a transitional year and gaming journalists have nothing else to do but stir up shit that doesn't really matter at all.

No one likes being called out on their hypocrisy.
Wow, Jeff really is a jerk. Must have really struck a chord with him to be that dismissive and insulting.
I really hope these are just ironic/satirical troll comments. Like when someone says "if black people can use nigger, why can't I?" as a joke.

Quite.

It's pretty clear that those posing the question are just trying to get a rise out of him

This. It's a thinly-veiled troll.
 
While it's true that the way the question is asked on Formspring is stupid I totally agree with the idea. The reaction from journalists in the last weeks is a total double standard and hypocrite for some. They all praise the fact that videogames are getting "serious" and bigger but then turn around and bitch about stuff that's been happening already in other industries (music , movie, etc) for a long time.
 
What is he calling him out on? The Tomb Raider discussion? The discussion about the crowd erupting in applause during over the top violent scenes during the press conferences?

I think simply the fact that journalists are suddenly tired of seing violent games. Which is fucking stupid.
 
Amazing that Jeff hasn't watched the Batman movies.

Also, I think contrasting Jeff's views on the new Tomb Raider with his acceptance and enjoyment of the portrayal of women in Mortal Kombat would have been a better troll than bringing up Dr Dre.
