When I discovered those I became hooked. For some reason watching a guy talk about his gamerscore and games he played was entertaining.
After the "incident," Jeff continued the videos a couple more times on jeffgerstmann.net, but hasn't made one in a while. I suppose most of Jeff's time is going towards the site now though, and not getting points.
Anyone else miss Jeff's old Points Reports from the GS days?
"He did them frequently on his blog, because he had no other outlet to talk to us about games. But now with the bombcast up every Tuesday"But back then he had the Hotspot to talk about game, while Points was more of an outlet to express his personal thoughts and feelings. However, I do agree that he should make some more though.
"Cube said:That didn't stop him when he worked at GameSpot. The Points! videos were about 1/4 about the points, and 3/4's about what's going on with the industry/what he's interested in or playing."I miss those a hell of a lot.I agree to some extent, but it would be pretty much impossible for Jeff to not talk about Giant Bomb eventually. Then it's pretty much a one-man bombcast.
He should do them again.

He's allowed to talk about Giant Bomb, but I'd be willing to bet that he's got enough self-restraint about not leaking info/rambling. You know, all those non-disclosure agreements he's probably signed in the past probably taught him what's okay to talk about and what's not.
I'd love to see more "Points!", but I think he said recently that he probably wasn't going to make any more.
