    I hope that whatever it is, it works out OK.

    I'll happily join in with the rest of GB in wishing Jeff the best.

    I'm just going to step in here and remind a few select users of our main rule here on Giant Bomb's forums:

    1. Don't be a jerk.

    Let's not let violations of this rule distract from the topic at hand. Thanks!

    I will pray for you....

    When we all find out this 'Family Emergency' is his family not sure if they should go on a cruise or stay at a nice hotel, I will feel both relieved and stupid. I'll take it though.

    Jeff is such a funny guy I can't help but think things will end with a chuckle.

    I felt really weird when I read his tweet. Giantbomb is often a place of comfort for me when I'm going through tough times, and to think of someone as strong willed as Jeff having to deal with a crisis... well... it sucks. Jeff I certainly hope that everything turns out ok, your community loves you!

    I don't know what happened, and, probably never will, but let me say, that whatever it is, I hope it will pass Jeff and those affected fast. Hope that everything will get better.

    I was beginning to become upset at the lack of content being posted this week, but if it's because Jeff needs to attend to family then my selfish feelings will be shut down indefinitely. Mr Gerstmann, my hopes are with you and your family.

    Wonder what's up- I hope it's nothing too serious.

    On a related note- my great-grandfather died yesterday after a short illness. The guy was pushing 90, so it wasn't a shock to us, but still, a bummer. That guy was awesome, he drove one of the aquatic assault vehicles on D-day, and didn't become a homeless junkie veteran, so well done Gramps.

    What I mean by this is- I wish Jeff all the best, family issues kinda suck.

    I'm kind of late for this, I had seen his tweet but didn't see the thread.

    This thread may seem a tiny bit morbid but I'm sure every user just read that tweet and instantly felt the need to let Jeff know they wished him the best.
    Being the all round awesome gentleman he is, he felt the need to tell us that some content might not be up despite dealing with whatever private matter he's going through. Jeff is the heart and deeply filthy soul of Giant Bomb so it's completely natural to worry that he's doing ok.

    Well, according to Jeff, things are improving. That's good to hear. Hope that in the end this was just nothing more than a scare.
