Excellent advice on the last question, Jeff. Couldn't have said it better myself.

How do you feel about this culture being co-opted by the mainstream?

Re: Reviewing more games. I'm glad you are doing sports games reviews and I'd like to see RPG reviews, but otherwise please stay really selective what you guys cover. I've loved it so far.

I definitely need to get out of this chair more often and drink from a jar more often as well.

It's kind of crazy, but I don't think I actually speak more than 1000 words to anyone outside my family in a week or two. I also almost never hear from my friends from High School in any other way than Facebook Chat when I'm on, which is rare as it is.

Easily one of the best video features on the site right now. After seeing the random video responses Jeff made over the years, and loving those, I could not be more happy with this. Thank you, sincerely, for daring to open up a piece of your privacy.

Man... Jeff got deep. Especially that end question. I was actually pretty impressed. Good words. I appreciate your continual candidness. Always a respected quality.

Proud second year annual subscriber. Worthwhile content. I just bought a Roku so I could watch even more videos on TV! Hear that!? I bought a Roku more for GiantBomb than even Netflix. So now you have an obligation to keep the awesome video content coming :)

I love this type of video, I hope it continues as long as it remains viable (ie questions don't become too stupid/ridiculous/boring).

So I just subscribed and this is the first video I've watched a new premium member, and damn if this one video wasn't worth the entry price. The first couple of minutes are gold.

Also, the end is surprisingly heart-felt. Really enjoyed this and I feel pretty good about supporting more things like it.

Lol the Points videos Jeff use to put up were my introduction to him. Funny how it was thrown in at the beginning. Good video.

As someone who is at year 9 of that "looking back in 10 years and regretting the lost time" thing, I'd like to share some advice; Definitely try something even once, don't let the voice in your head that says "this horrible/embarrassing thing might happen" stop you from trying something that will make you grow as a person. Fight that voice with every fucking fibre of your being. As corny as it sounds, think positively, one moment will not ruin your life, it will not kill you, you will live to see another day and that moment, good or bad, will be in the past. A lot of us think we're victims of circumstance. In reality we're slaves to the world we've created for ourselves.

Anyone want to explain the points thing? Is this a pre-Giant Bomb thing or just something I've missed over the years?
