Jar Time w/ Jeff

Jar Time w/ Jeff: Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Jar - 10/02/2012

Unlike the song for which this video is titled, this question answering session does not feature the world's greatest key change. Giant Bomb regrets the omission.

You ask the questions, Jeff Gerstmann supplies the answers.

If only Jeff would open the box. If it's Figma Chie she probably comes with a heavy-duty ziploc bag for all those little bits.

As an owner of a Figma Chie myself, I can verify that this is indeed the case. No need to fret the small stuff, , they gotcha covered!

Man, some serious food for thought concerning the next iteration of hardware. The situation and all its implications didn't really occur to me in full, I'll have to say. Well, at least it's going to be interesting. Plus I'll probably have services like Steam, gog and the like to rely on for a more significant time span either way. So whatever the next Torchlights, FTLs, Warlocks and what have you will be - that'll still be there for a while I hope.

You can still apply for a Dota2 key, or you can actually buy one in the ingame store if you want an extra one i guess

Thanks for answering my question Jeff. FYI, PXAbstraction (Comic Vine puts it in all lower case for some reason) is short for Parallax Abstraction, a name I came up with in high school cause it sounded weird and different. I've kept it because well, it's weird and different plus it has the benefit of never being in use on the Internet anywhere ever. :) Thanks again, very interesting information you gave.

Another jar video to love!

I hope it's not an insensitive thing to say but it's great to hear that Jeff has lost weight and I hope he continues to do so. I've lost 15 pounds in the last few months through jogging and cycling on an exercise bike (often while watching new Breaking Bad episodes and Quicklooks). It was fucking hard during the first weeks but now I almost need these workouts. Makes you a happier person eventually.

Good video. Once again making me look forward to the next year or two of game happenings.

Though I worry that Jeff wearing more clothes will severely hamper the influx of new users going forward.

My water heater burst last year. Heard a weird hissing sort of sound coming from the heater room downstairs at about 11pm on a Sunday night. Went to have a look see, and low and behold, my water heater is SPRAYING WATER IN ALL DIRECTIONS! 0_____0

Hey Jeff--jar time is the best. Thanks. And congrats on the pants, man--we'd prefer to keep you around for awhile, so good job on the weight loss. It can be tough.

Regarding Jeff's rant at the end about Dota 2, it's worth mentioning that it is still a closed beta. You have to pay upwards of $40 to get into it (to buy a key and in-game items). So yea, you still need keys.

You need a haircut man. But hey, so do I. Also, can confirm that it was hot as balls over the last few days right outside of SF. The weather here is... bizarre.
