Got this voicemail invite to Shanghai from Kane & Lynch 2's Lynch last night.

  
He's claiming that they fucked up pretty badly last time around? Yeah, I guess I'd agree with that.

WOAH 
 
 
they are really reaching out to jeff.  
 
i imagine their meetings for the game have a big poster of you there at all times and after every idea is presented they all decide wether or not Jeff would like it.

This made me laugh. A lot of bizarre 4th wall, self-aware stuff going on in that message, especially when it comes to Jeff and this site in particular. Weird...
 
Justin McElroy of Joystiq was broadcasting live on Ustream last night leading up to the relaunch of Joystiq.com when he got this same call. He held his phone up to his headset mic, so the hundred or so people could hear it.
 
And then about 10 mins later, Leigh Alexander tweeted about getting the same one. 
 
Looks like he's making a lot of invites/apologies...

I clicked on this thinking it said Jane Lynch. This voicemail was very different than what I was expecting, but the byline of leave me alone psycho would have been much more interesting for Jane I think.

If Jeff was the only one who got this, it would be absolutely hilarious. But if everyone else did (which is probably the case), it's still pretty cool.

ROFL @ " but it's a little too late to admit you effed up last time." and " He's claiming that they fucked up pretty badly last time around? Yeah, I guess I'd agree with that."  Are you guys sure that all websites got this Voicemail too? It sounded like it was meant specifically for Jeff.
 
Anyways, regardless of whether it was sent to everyone or not, it was clearly referring to what happened at Gamespot.

No one is more authentic than Eidos.

2007 y'all, let it go.  I'd say Jeff got more out of it than the offenders, so re-living that shit is silly.  I'd say the part they "fucked up last time" was the horrible game we got more than any collateral damage some game site caused.  io is better than that at making games, and delivering a rushed game that was competing with another - that ironically got delayed - to make it to market was the biggest offense.

Anyway if they really did "fuck up last time" I mean look at Gamespot now, its a mess

He said it is a "solid GIG", not game. 
 
Also, I can't believe people are trying to tie this in with GameSpot. It has nothing to do with that. Giant Bomb wasn't even the first site I saw this on today.
