I saw something about Jeff that made me lol.

Just watch this and lol at the irony. It`s within the first ten seconds.

I figured everyone could apperciate this. :P

intellectually dishonest man

You saw Jeff face in an ad Please enlighten me on the irony, is it because it's a gamespot review?

Ha, what? His face?

...I don't get the funny part about this.

That video overall was actually pretty funny, though it didn't make me wanna play the game at all

what IS IT WITH SHITTY VIDEO PLAYERS? 
 
For the life of me I can't name a single fucking website with a functioning video player

I think the humor is in Jeff using a 5-star rating system at GB when he used to use decimals at Gamespot. I think.

@AhmadMetallic: Giant Bomb?

@AhmadMetallic: @Swoxx: No, the best is obviously IGN. Their video players are FLAWLESS.

/sarcasm

@AhmadMetallic: Giant Bomb?

@AhmadMetallic: Damn! I guess I'll have to photoshop that bra off!

That's weird though, I very rarely have videoproblems (on any site) and all I got is flash and chrome.

I guess.. No, I will not submit to the bra in your avatar! The GB video player gives me the fair share of freezes and buffer disconnections and all kinds of crap. Hell, Youtube's been around for ages and their player makes me punch the fucking monitor. Why is it such an impossible thing to have solid browser video players?

Stop using IE 5?

Irony? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Jeff quit Gamespot, which is known for biased reviews (accepting dinners and other forms of gifts from game companies). GB doesn`t allow that, and some companies don`t give them advanced copies or interviews because of that. Coincidentally, Jeff`s face as they say intellectually dishonest.

:( I thought it was funny.

Oh snap, Ronald Jenkees did the music? That guy is awesome.

I played Sequence, it was shit.

I'm a chroming man, son.

Sure you're up to date? I hade some issues with video players in older versions of Chrome but nothing now.

Don't just look at the reviewer, look at the game that he reviewed.

That review made people go nuts. For example, this got made:

http://fatjeff.ytmnd.com/

"Gerstmann’s review of Twilight Princess cemented his reputation as a criminal renegade with no law but his own, even though he gave the game an 8.9 - a nine, essentially - out of ten." --Jerry Holkins

@AhmadMetallic: I am just assuming here, but don't you live near/around Middle East? The internet connections here are shared, so you don't really have 8mb, you are sharing it with another 3 or 4 people. That's why the download speeds go up by alot around mid-night to morning.

That's from my experience anyway, and if you are on the 'streaming' option, you should probably change to 'progressive', pause it for a minute, let it buffer some, and then continue watching.

@Nocall: You could have at least warned us about the audio attack if you clicked on the link. :P

Oh, that's the game that someone's giving for free to all NeoGAF members.

Whats that music? It sounds real familiar.

@AhmadMetallic said:

@Daiphyer: I live in Israel, my d/l speed on speedtest.net is a bit over 8 mb and my ISP assures me that I have that full speed provided to me. I don't know what the hell it is that's keeping my internet from getting unleashed like it should.. I actually used to go Progressive, but noticed that it takes ages to actually load, so when I switched to Streaming recently, it started playing as soon as I clicked play and barely pauses at all.

I had the -exact- same problem here. ATT said they were giving us 4mbs when, in reality, they were ripping us off and throttling down to 600kbs. We switched over and it doubled. Fucking bullshit. They really do rip people off hard.

8.8

...it just isn't having the same effect on me dude.

I think it is ironic that that last quote isn't from any person at all! It's so ironic that they had to put a fake quote because comedy!

@AhmadMetallic 8 megabit only equals a bit over 1000 kilobytes, so you are losing 400 kilobytes. That is kind if alot on it's own but it's not like you have a super amazing connection when you actually get max speed, at least by Norwegian standards

@Itwastuesday said:

8.8

Yeah, I thought it was a weird choice to use that page as well. Jeff's face on that page makes the whole thing look negative and sinister, which is weird because he gave the game an 8.8. Very strange.

That video was pretty funny. One thing I like about indie developers is their sense of humor.

"Pick this game up on October 20th before out literally infinite number of copies sells out".

8.8 lives on. Still can't believe how many people lost their shit over that.

It's 100MBps, or 8 mb, how does that equal 1,000 kilobytes? You're saying that the max speed I can reach is about 1MB/s ? That can't be right.By your numbers, someone with a 2 mb speed can only download up to 250 KB/s

8 bits (b) to 1 byte (B). So if you have 8 Mb/s you have 1 MB/s roughly (as Management said). So someone with a 2 Mb/s (2 megabits per second) can download at only 250 kB/s (kilobytes per second). ---These being ideal conditions, not factoring in any additional latency (not real world).

So yeah that's exactly right.

Now you have a 8 Mb/s line you said and you're getting 600 kB/s.....Your optimal speed would be 1 MB/s....Depending on what type of internet you have (I'm honestly not familiar with ISPs outside the US) your speed can be affected. I have Cable and they advertise my plan at 25 Mbps, but I won't see that speed unless it's like 3am. I usually see closer to 5-10 Mbps.

You're losing 400 kB/s to overhead somewhere, someway. Crappy modem? Crappy Router? Crappy wiring to your house or somewhere in the ISPs infrastructure. The majority of the time if you call them and they ping their own servers, which doesn't give you the speed your getting at your house....

Honestly, though, anything 5Mbps or faster should handle streaming video fine (this being anecdotal and not necessarily backed up by any hard fact). I would your latency, or ping (http://pingtest.net/). Or try to track down another modem and try that out without a router in between.

I laughed because they used 8.8. I was not really on the internet so much then, but I can certainly appreciate it now.

Those were golden times... and also not the best time to be a moderator in the Nintendo Union on Gamespot.

i saw it pretty funny.

I think that video sold me that game just by mentioning Ronald Jenkees.

i remember the shit storm that review created, gotta say in hindsight i thought it was generous, that series hasn't evolved since OoT
