Yet everyone is saying he's the man now (dawg)? Take one part soulless, out-of-touch corporate salesman and add one part holier-than-though jerk and the result is Official NeoGAF Awesome Dude? Zwuh?

Minor celebrity worship issues much, guys?

I was thinking this thread is going to get me fired.

Then I remembered that Jeff Bell had to be posting that from work.

The internet. :lol

LOLz at Bell getting his feelings hurt on the intArwebs.

He needs to come to the OT and join some political discussions. He'd toughen up quickly!

It makes people here feel special that Jeff Bell would even bother with NeoGAF. I understand that feeling, but yeah... that message in itself was kind of shit.

Gaf's been fairly meh for months now. The VGCats topics have been uneventful and the Photoshops non-existent. Petty arguments over Wii graphics and PS3 sales.

Man, I just watched his interview on Youtube, he sounds so insincere. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he doesn't even play games.

That's the whole point. He said "and what do you contribute exactly to society?" there was no reason for him to say that yet he in essence trolled himself and exposed himself to everyone.

Hence why it's so damn funny.:lol

I hear what you're saying, and you're right, he is a soulless holier-than-thou jerk, but this is neogaf, dude.

I don't think anyone is being serious (I hope?)

It's hilarious because he's a (relatively?) major exec and he's wasting his time responding to an utter non-event?

It's either hilarious vanity on his part, proof that GAF reaches deep into the industry, or some combination of the two. And he's either a jackass, or completely hilarious.

Either way it's still :lol :lol :lol

Jeff: Well the E3 audience is more hardcore, so the Call of Duty 4 demo and Assassin's Creed™ were more their speed, but when people back home get their hands on Scene It?, they're going to love it.

TriXie: And they can only get it on Xbox 360™.

Dear Doug,

Years ago as the newsgroups where dying out, you suggest I come to GAF to post... I didn't really understand why back then, but I came over.

Thank you for that.... because threads like this have just made it so worth it. ;)

he probably heard his cousin talking about it and decided it was a cool hip thing to say. Jeff Bell has probably never enjoyed music or video games or any other form of entertainment not involving a mirror in his entire life.

Mod confirmation means what exactly?
Do you know how the mod was able to confirm it? No
They haven't said whether its an MS email or Ip or anything

maybe the most interesting thing about this thread is that jeff bell thinks he contributes to society by being an corporate vice president of marketing. if he'd said 'i make big money and drive a porsche and do blow off the toned stomachs of expensive prostitutes while you sit in your basement and photoshop my five-hundred-watt smile,' well...then he'd have a point. maybe he thinks he's advanced race relations in america by calling reggie bush 'brother.'
