    Best wishes to Jeff. Before Giantbomb existed, he was one of the sole providers of worthwhile podcast entertainment on the internet.

    Pop cap got screwed  Jeff Green  is worth at least 100 billion  maybe even 4 times that on weekends or when he is doing "computer gaming world" magazine or a podcast. 
       
     
          

          
     
    And thanks for screwing up Popcap and it's good games ahead of time EA we all know you will do stuff to make them suck now.
     
    OH and i thought Jeff green quit EA to get away from EA I bet he is screwed now, they are going to give Jeff green the shaft now for his past disobedience and maybe even have him assassinated.

    They didn't pay $750m for Pop Cap. They paid $750m to get to Jeff Green.

    Wow, I hadn't thought I played that game enough to remember this. Apparently I did, because I haven't played FFVII in like 10 years, and I've never even gotten past disc 2, but I very clearly remember the music.

    I love the pop cap games, they are all so different i've probably sunk 20+ hours in PVZ at work. Hope EA doesn't make them start churning out sequels for the hell of it.

    Dont really get all the EA hate since its not like they put out all of there games every single year except the ones that well make sense like sports games.

    Jeff Green was the advance recon team. EA sent him, he scoped out the place, said some shit about EA to protect his cover, and now they smoothly real in their big fat casual fish.

    Nicely played Mr. Green.
