I really love the title of this video. Anything that reminds me of the 3rd best song from The White Album is good in my book.

I'm pretty sure any personal information you give us Jeff is A-ok. We don't mind hearing it, I can safe to assume we like to hear it.

Srsly, Jeff. Hang in there, I've had family with whom I've had complicated relationships get seriously ill, and it's hard even without corporate mergers to handle. I always look forward to these videos, they're great. Keep it up.

Pretty incredible, not only because he did it all by himself, but it looks like a Vanilla Ware title, which would be an amazing feat for even a fully staffed Western studio. Inspirational!

Is that submarine-type sound that comes out of Jeff's computer a TweetDeck thing?

I want that sound to come out of my computer. Just every few minutes.

First, all the best to you and your family. Glad to hear things are up, and I hope they continue in that direction.

Second, I agree this isn't the right venue for all the details, and so thanks for not turning this in to a reality show. I've got my own emotional rollercoasters to ride.

Third, we know you're a real person and that's a big reason we prefer your coverage to some large, faceless, monotonous corporation where Editor 1 being occupied just means that Editor A comes in as a substitute and the keel of coverage is not disturbed. As a person, you've got personal problems and that is totally understandable.

Fourth, keep aiming to get the coverage up. Don't want to let your standards slip. :P

All the best to you and your family, Jeff. I'm sorry things have been rough lately, and undoubtedly a person's head can get very fuzzy when things collectively go awry - nothing seems to work out right and it can be hard to gain any clarity with your thoughts. Just do your best to keep grinding until the day comes that your horizon starts to look a little less bleak. Keep on keepin' on!

I have one of those insane ASUS ROG laptops that weighs like 8lbs. It's basically a tertiary computer and when I get somewhere and put it down it stays there. I never use it away from a power supply, and move it maybe once every couple weeks.

Plus it was only like 1800 bucks and it can still bascally every game maxed out, which is cool. I never use it at home though.
