This is great.

Senpai noticed you and now he hates you guys.

😏

i blame daydreaming

If it was a goof, it was played pretty damn straight faced. Not knowing the person who wrote it, I'd have no way of knowing which way it went. Either way, it was a pretty ridiculous thing to say. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

This is a really, really weird thing to say in a Giant Bomb thread. This is the kind of humor that underlies Giant Bomb itself.

 

[NumberThree]

Can't go on Twitter right now, I'll just check the aftermath tomorrow.

i nearly said that i loved the bloodborne ca but thought it would just get me murdered

the middle of the screen is all shitty pixels the edges look sweet as fuck all weird and blurry

i know i'm bad

They played that on a UPF at some point, right? I don't mind stuff like that, at least there's a.. point (?) to that mess. I also watch demos and obviously post processing is in a big role in those.

lol cut your losses dude. We're in Giant Bomb gaf, it's reasonable to assume people here know Austin didn't ACTUALLY fly to SF for a Quick Look. Eat some crow.

also why would you tweet that to Austin anyway? Win some brownie points?

 

[Brashnir]

This is happening. I dunno.

Giant Bomb (and its community) eternally embraces the thin line between the real and the realest. (Warning: audio buzz)

On one hand, it's great... and on the other, it reminds me of wrestling and I suddenly feel ill.

[Askherserenity]

Why would anyone take any post made in the Giantbomb OT seriously?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Is this thread a work or a shoot?

Jeff streaming Street Fighter V http://www.twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

Aw yeah!

 

[Salty Catfish]

Senpai has forgiven you:

And let's put the pitchforks down, folks.

Aw yeah!

Who the fuck knows? We meta now.

Alright, hear me out. How amazing would it be if they, somewhere down the line, actually did fly Austin out for the sole purpose of a one-off quick look with no fanfare?

Also, maybe ease up on him a bit. We're all just screwing around, nobody's actually catching feelings.

It is quite a shithead thing to do, to consider yourself a Revolver Ocelot.

Shithead status checks out.

been laughing far harder than I should be at the phrase "shithead status"

man, if there was ever a tag to fish for

fob are you for real right now

Dude, look at my avatar. That is the straightest face there is on this forum.

[Myggen]

and that a majority of the people on twitter thought they were serious too.

When taking completely out of context I don't find that very hard to believe. If I didn't know this thread I would probably believe a comment like that to be sincere with no context.

I lost a bunch in SF V, ran all out of chill. sorry Fobwashed, didn't wanna get all ad hominem on yo ass

Fobwashed still needs to learn from the best.

 

[Myggen]

Is there some solo Jeff stream now? Not near a PC.

 

[Askherserenity]

He's streaming SFV 🙌

 

[Xater]

Yeah, he is playing some SFV.

 

[Brashnir]

Is there some solo Jeff stream now? Not near a PC.

yeah. he's just playing street fighter.

 

[Myggen]

Alright, I'm fine with that.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Jeff's playing so well!

And just as I said that the server failed to send the results against a Ryu that had twice as many points. Sort your shit already Capcom!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Alright, I'm fine with that.

He's cleaning up pretty well, man. You're missing out.

 

[Xater]

First match Jeff finishes and the data upload of course doesn't work. Game is still on fire.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Is this thread a work or a shoot?

A worked shoot of course.

 

[Myggen]

I'm putting all my trust in GB Unarchived.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Jeff bodied that Mika so hard he destroyed the stream too.

And we're back!

 

[hamchan]

You guys made some guy on Twitter take deep breaths of fury.

 

[benny_a]

I think it's more sinister than that. If you quit the game, the results don't get uploaded. So it could just be salty losers because his loss was uploaded fine in between two server failures.

You don't win by default if someone rage quits?

I can't wait for Zoggy to come back to this thread and see what hell he has wrought.

 

[hamchan]

No. They also get no punishment for disconnects. Wonderful system from Capcom.

 

[benny_a]

I don't know what happens when you do it in the middle of the fight, but if quit out of the game between the upload and the end of the match it apparently doesn't record the loss.

No. They also get no punishment for disconnects. Wonderful system from Capcom.

There is this wonderful game called UMvC3 that handled these cases.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Pretty much a universal sign that you've done something right.

 

[Xater]

I think it's more sinister than that. If you quit the game, the results don't get uploaded. So it could just be salty losers because his loss was uploaded fine in between two server failures.

So is everyone doing that right now? That also seems unlikely.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Yeah it's hard to take anyone's LP and wins/losses seriously at this point with the way servers are atm. People can just quit without losing their streak/points and there's probably plenty of shitty players with thousands of points atm.

 

[Myggen]

I don't know what happens when you do it in the middle of the fight, but if quit out of the game between the upload and the end of the match it apparently doesn't record the loss.

How is it even possible for Capcom to allow for something like that, holy shit.

 

[LurkerPrime]

RIP games journalism:

Streamers are now getting promotional quotes.

Also Far Cry Primal still exists and is releasing in two days. (!!!)

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I go out to buy a Dr. Pepper shake and you guys trigger some dude on twitter over his student loans with a joke. 2016's crazy so far.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

You better recognise D Lo Brownie.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Jeff really needs to stop sweeping that close to an opponent since it's super easy to punish. That's a really bad habit.

OOOOH HO HO HO

[stump sock]

It's blowing my mind that Fobwashed thought these were serious posts

never trust inverted mouse users

Senpai has forgiven you:

I don't know if that means he thinks we are good at jokes or if he thinks we are a joke

i smell toast

but how many towers will you climb?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

No. It tastes like vanilla mixed with a hint of chocolate. It's okay. Probably wouldn't get it again.

Inverted mouse is a thing? And there are people who use it? Dear god

 

[Salty Catfish]

This has been happening for quite some time.

One thing they're doing that I haven't seen before is using streamer names/audio in an actual TV ad.
