Jeff on his own isn't that great. Jeff with Ryan, Brad and Vinny is awesome.

The videos are better on GB (compare Jeff's Too Human skit to the GS Castle Crashers review!) but the forums suck hard so I'll stick with GS for now

I saw Giant Bomb give out some above average game, I forgot which, a perfect rating. I think perfect ratings should be held for extreme situations and with that I became cautious of their reviews.

[QUOTE="darklord888"][QUOTE="cryptosopoidium"]Because Giant Bomb has "Better Mods" which is total BS. I got banned without warning then they trolled me. GS is way better.cryptosopoidium



The mods are fine there. Unlike here when they throw bans around like a bodily function.

I was BANNED from Giant Bomb without warning. My very first offence got me kicked off of the site, then they commented on my blog telling me "Congrats on getting Banned" or "Please GTFO Giant bomb, oh wait you have no choice.". I've gotten so many breaks here its barely countable. Gamespot Mods > Giant Bomb Mods.



What did you do that got you banned though?

We also need the beautiful woman.

And who says there aren't any beautiful women on gamespot?

It's an inside joke. ;p

I'm not sure how you know about the "beautiful woman" thing, but unless you're talking about Marc or if you've heard it from other people, I'm curious as how you know about this joke.

This place used to be great, with many great personalities (not to offend anyone here though). Many left back then because Gamespot got too restrictive.

I don't think many people have left.
I did have an account there a few weeks ago, but i left that place.

The mods over there are immature, people can get away with pretty much anything.
If someone over there posts a disgusting picture, sometimes it's not even deleted for a day or so.
I hate that place.

Yes it was. I saw the username, opened up the profile and bam! right there in the images were the photos. It was quite... odd.

Mind you I dont think anything will be as worse as that neo-nazi forum I once stumbled into. That place was filled with weird ****.

Professionalism in this industry is just lame. The only reviewer I've seen who've managed to pull it off decently was Greg Kasavin.

I never got what the big deal is about Jeff -- I found him quite obnoxious at times. He probably epitomizes what a lot of people who loved him wanted to be -- why they wanted to be THAT is beyond me.

Professionalism in this industry is just lame. The only reviewer I've seen who've managed to pull it off decently was Greg Kasavin.

But how many reviewers write, "This game sucks" in their reviews? None because there can be backlash from the company. Also, he used the F word in a joke in one of his video revews. Then he had no idea what he was talking about in one where he said that variety in a certain game was a bad thing even though he said the variety in it didn't seemed to be tacked on last minute. The day variety in a video game is a bad thing is the day I quit gaming.
