Releasing this at the same time as the TNT is not cool.

A guy answering questions by talking to himself while drinking from jar? Sounds good to me! Much better than that prince poser at Tested.

"I spent the weekend rampaging through one of next weeks games". Is there a reason Jeff has to be coy and act like he hasn't been playing Mass Effect 3?

Nice video as always

Two comments about some questions

1-About the cross platform play. How awesome would it be if EA would host all the autlog/ridernet stuff on an universal server. Since there's not actual gameplay it would easily be possible to use our EA Accounts and challenge friends even if they are not on the same platform.

2-For the epilepsy issue. I can't remember for Microsoft and Sony but I know for a fact that Nintendo require developpers to make games without any violent flashing lights/screen. A game can fail a submission because of that.

Battle.net did the cool Facebook friends import thing, and I friggin' love it.

And anomaly guy that doesn't finish games? I've been unfortunately doing the same weird thing. I'm at the end of The Darkness 2, and I loved it so far... but I'm still sitting on it. Same with Rage. Too many good games came out lately, I guess.

The only retail PC game I have is The Witcher 2 and that was because it came with a lot of stuff.

Yay! More jarring than the attempts of trying to set up private matches in Crusader Kings 2!

GODDAMMIT, YES! Jeff supporting the "skip gameplay" option is being a goddamned superhero. Also, just a point, but if they let people who aren't as good skip the gameplay, it's more economically viable to make harder games, right?

$50 a year to watch a man take a phone call about a washing machine?
