There needs to be a film about Jeff's roommate

Jeff's roommate is probably the most awesomest person in the world.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Calling it now, Shyamalan twist, Jeff hasn't lived with anyone in 10 years.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Jeff doesn't own a house, he lives in a shelter made out of nothing but PC Engine and Nintendo tapes somewhere deep in the CBSi building, the 'Comcast Guy' was actually a security guard who stumbled upon it. It all makes sense! Follow the money

 

[Zaph]

Is this 'The Ricker' or a different roommate?

 

[I'm an expert]

Saw someone with a GB hoodie out in the wild today. My first time ever seeing something like that. Not gonna lie, for a second, I thought about asking for his gaf name.

 

[Majine]

If the Sunday live stream is just this song looping I'd be okay with that.

The "Please wait" screen should be that.

Imagine if he only posted on the GiantBomb forums, though. That would have been awkward.

Hey that could have been me!

He'd just cover you in spittle as he repeatedly shrieks "When's the next Endurance Run?!", oscillating between high-strung and broken voices mid-word.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

You know the hilarity of the CoD Vita thread hating on GB? Check out the ZombiU thread; they're going nuts over a 4.5 score from Gamespot and now I fully understand the pain some of you felt last time.

Think I'll stay up for the live Wii U stuff on GB and appraise things myself.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

What's funny is Gamespot's review of the game can't be trusted because of Jeff:

Gamespot gave Zelda TP an 8.8. If there's one site I don't take seriously in reviews it's them.

6 long years and still it gets brought up. Hilarious.

Zombiuu got a 4.5?!!?!?

Holy shit.

edit: I see nothing on gamespot.

 

[StuBurns]

Jeff overrated TP.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I think he rated it pretty fairly. I would rate it higher, but you can't really argue with his points.

It leaked early, check the OT.

Or don't if you don't want your mind to melt from idiotic posts.

 

[SmellyHands]

[Mikey Jr.]

ZombiU was the sole reason I was thinking about picking up the WiiU.

I agree with Kaijima in that thread, the Wii U is gonna be intrinsically divisive due to people either accepting it for what it is or going in with preconceived notions or a traditional-oriented mindset or just outright hating it on the onset. All this is exacerbated since it's a new console launch in a long while and people are rabid.

Also I trust Edge more than Gamespot, but I still don't trust Edge that much (or any reviewer basically).

 

[StuBurns]

ZombiU was the sole reason I was thinking about picking up the WiiU.

Ultimately, that wasn't going to be the case long term though right? So maybe it was the inspiration to be there day one, but what's the next big release for you? The Wonderful 101? MonHun 3? Bayo 2?

I think assuming the next attractive release is in the next year, you're not going to save money on holding out until that game comes.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

ZombiU was the sole reason I was thinking about picking up the WiiU.

The game I was looking forward to most, as well The launch line-up got a whole lot weaker if it turns out to be shit.

Maybe I will watch the stream tomorrow to see what the GB guys think of it.

I'll have Mario, Nintendoland and Sonic Racers even if I do ditch it, at least.

 

[Banana Kid]

ZombiU was the sole reason I was thinking about picking up the WiiU.

Someone didn't remember Red Steel.

Don't let Ubisoft fool you just because it's launch!

ZombiU QL is going up way before the stream. So everyone in the US should be able to take a look at it before they go out to buy.

 

[FStop7]

Man, I wish that Wii U livestream was happening today. It's pouring rain and it would be the perfect thing to have going in the background.

 

[Anth0ny]

Jeff overrated TP.

Yep.

ZombiU was the sole reason I was thinking about picking up the WiiU.

they said it wasn't the red steel of wii u

they called me a troll

bwahahaha

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm a Brit so I have two weeks to keep the pre-order of ZombieU or trash it for something else, thankfully!

I just wanted a bit of a black out, but I need to know if I should drop so much money on that game now.

 

[The Wizard]

I wonder how long they'll be streaming Wii U, starts at 7 pm here.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yeah, I was thinking about picking it up tomorrow. Long term, I'll still probably get it for Zelda and Mario. ZombiU was the game where I said to myself "I have to play this game".

Hopefully that gamespot review is just the outlier.

 

[pharmboy044]

So will their WiiU coverage be over the shoulder cam footage?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

So will their WiiU coverage be over the shoulder cam footage?

Doubt it. They can capture the TV feed no problem over HDMI, the only issue they will have is capturing the tablet screen but it's not a big deal.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

yep

So that makes it 2 Zelda games in a row that he overrated then (9.3 for WW is ludicrous)

they said it wasn't the red steel of wii u

they called me a troll

bwahahaha

It's pretty trolly to only see one review score (especially as it is Gamespot), & given the other review scores it is highly unlikely to be as bad as RS1.

 

[Haunted]

Calling it now, Shyamalan twist, Jeff hasn't lived with anyone in 10 years.

haha

 

[Haunted]

I never thought Red Steel was as terrible as everyone else, so when I called ZombiU the WiiU's Red Steel, it wasn't even intended as that harsh of a troll.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Wind Waker is a 9.2 at best come on gertsman

 

[Anth0ny]

So that makes it 2 Zelda games in a row that he overrated then (9.3 for WW is ludicrous)

that's a low score for wind waker

 

[nckillthegrimace]

that's a low score for wind waker

So you're a style over substance kind of guy?

 

[FStop7]

Calling it now, Shyamalan twist, Jeff hasn't lived with anyone in 10 years.

No.


Shyamalan twist: Jeff Gerstmann has been gone for 10 years, the guy we're familiar with is his roommate who assumed his identity in order to keep the paychecks coming.

If you think about it, it explains a LOT.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

You could tell when Giant Bomb jumped the shark when the real Jeff Gerstmann came back, and our Gerstmann turned out to be "Armin Tamzarian."

 

[SteveWinwood]

So you're a style over substance kind of guy?

get a load of this guy

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

that's a low score for wind waker

Wind Waker is a clear case of style over substance, it has some of the dullest dungeons in the entire series, & a tedious & ill-conceived overworld. I firmly believe the scores it received were a reaction to the over-reaction to the art-style (which was awesome), & if it looked like a "normal" Zelda game would be scored much lower than TP (which despite all it's flaws is a significantly better game in pretty much every way).

So you're a style over substance kind of guy?

:Brofist.

I agree with you, so you are objectively correct. That's how being objective works.

And at the end, not-Jeff stands up from the wheelchair and it turns out he must have felt when that guy stabbed him in the leg.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Not only was that not a horrible episode of Spookin' With Scoops, but it was actually really good! Good work Patrick, now do the rest of them at the CBSi office.

it because drew so handsome ~uguu~ (♥_&#9829

 

[Noray]

Some of you guys are nuts, Wind Waker is a delight.

The Skyward Sword reviews, though? Even 4 stars is high. What a dull-ass game.

Now this guy? Objectively wrong.

 

[daxy]

I've learned not to trust Gamespot's reviews for a long time now. Considering ZombiU got a 7 from Edge, of all places, I'm gonna guess it's not all bad. I'd like to know what GB has to say about it.

Also, Wind Waker is the most fun Zelda imo. (damn you triforce shards!)

Edge used to be the holy grail of reviews for me but in recent years I haven't been able to use their scores as a measure of much. I just like their features now.

Why don't you trust GS? I can't remember the last time they were majorly wrong about a game. Usually they're the most honest, along with GB.

 

[bender]

The game I was looking forward to most, as well

Same but after watching video of the melee combat, I don't think I'd enjoy it very much. I guess I'll pickup up Mario to go along with Nintendoland (bundle).
