Jar Time w/ Jeff: Answers From the Jar Czar - 01/18/2013

gamebomb.ru has assumed direct control of Jeff.

I could do without the old laser printer sound in the background. Otherwise I am really enjoying Answers From the Jar Czar.

Jamming with Jars.

Oh man imagine if they started broadcasting a message while Jeff was recording this.

I can only assume the logical conclusion, Jeff is running a number station from his bedroom.

3 minutes in, does the noise ever stop?

I skipped to 15 minutes and it didn't stop yet... I'll just come back later n see if they fix it or anything.

Welcome to GiantBomb, guys!!

Clearly those members are some cb-radio clods.

The jar czar he knows what jars are.

I love UVB-76 with a passion. Thanks Jeff!

Jeff, the only feedback I can provide for this video is something you already know. That was a really stupid idea. You are awesome.

That number station audio should be the intro to the Giant Bomcast.

Jeff I shall expect you to be properly attired in three piece suit and bowler hat on all future Jar videos as befitting a gentleman of your station. O_o

Truth be told, I would enjoy Bethesda's recent games more if much of the dialogue was text only. Voicing every NPC in the game tends to weaken my immersion with minimal positives attached. When you have so much dialogue to record it all jumbles together, particularly in the case of Bethesda games where you will meet many major characters -or quest important characters anyway- who are all voiced by the same person giving basically the same performance. I think Bethesda could do so much more with their stories and quests if they just gave up on voicing everything and allowed non-essential NPC's to have text dialogue.

I dont know why but everytime I see a new jar video popup on the site it makes me happy...

bzzzzzzt. bzzzzzzt. bzzzzzzt.

If the buzzing stops, the nukes fall.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's because you like the videos.

Radio voice Jeff, is the best Jeff.

Wait, there was a famicom/super famicom live stream with all Ryan's 100s of carts?! And I missed it?! I don't see it on the site, did it get lost to the world? :(

Is the video fixed yet?

@synthesis_landale: http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb/b/349982135 might be what you're looking for.

I agree with Jeff, I think a video games meltdown/do over would be fun, mainly because it would just be something new and interesting.

I feel a bit like Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins for saying that though.

I found that tone oddly soothing

I've seen that one Star Trek episode. You can't fool me, evil alternate Jeff!

Do bestbuy sell steam vouchers? GAME do in the UK, a nice way to get PC games by trading in shit or whatever. It's a bit weird that they're selling vouchers for their competitor when you think about it, of course.

The background ambience is oddly comforting.

The burrito bit had me rolling

Today at work, I just had a stream of UVB-76 going for a few hours while I was programming. I was hoping that's what was going on here as soon as I saw that antenna in the thumbnail.

best time for burritos is 420

jesus christ I almost joked on my cereal hahahahaha

"What are we, as people? Just like, ugghhh..." - Jeff Gerstmann, philosophical savant

why is it buzzing, jeff?

are you doing beekeeping in there, jeff?

Lets....not put that shortwave station on next time, please.

It's interesting how much kvetching yall are doing about this kvetching, Jeff. :P

That noise bothered me initially... But when I realized it was a number station, it stopped bothering me. Weird.

Yeah, I listen to UVB-76 a lot too, changing it up occasionally with recordings from the Conet project. This didn't seem strange to me at all.

Be thankful it was only UVB-76 and not one of those crazy numbers stations that plays J.M. Jarre music backwards every five minutes in between lists of numbers recited in russian or something. Those are truly annoying to talk over.

Man, that beeping was annoying, pls never again?

Jeff was high on something for this!

2074. the death of videogames.

Well Morrowind had that whole Faction system where being X faction and/or guild it would make you more or less likable with Y faction or guild, but yeah that game had little VO.

@Jeff What shirt is that? I want one. Thanks dude.

Yea jar tyme mayne!!!!

Instead of water, I choose to believe that's methanol in the jar. :D

I add mashed potatoes to everything and it is always delicious.

@Benny: Thanks! This is awesome.

What's Jeff's shirt say?

Looks like МИШКА (mishka) which is the diminutive of Mikhail, but basically means teddy-bear.

You dont like the smell because its not yours. Once you saturate that thing with your own spit you will like it.

"Reviews are garbage. Stop reading them." - Jeff Gerstmann

Now, stop writing conventional reviews, Giant Bomb. It looks really poor on you for the GOTY discussions for the most part when Brad gives Diablo 3 this glowing review but is not even mentioned in his GOTY discussions. I have a feeling we'll be saying the same about Devil May Cry in December.

##SUGGESTION Save up a best of collection of questions and just get plastered for em.

We don't have burritos in the UK. Not where I live at least. We have kebab though, which is just as bad.

Anime. Its for jerks.

Always clean your pop filter, don't be a dirty animal!
