Wow. That dude has the absolute worst facial hair I've ever seen in my life. If I shaved my beard in patches, I couldn't make it look that bad. Looks like pubes stuck on his face, god awful!

Current count is around 1000 for Madden to 600 for Wolfenstein.  Jeff is screwed.

They need to do this another way.  I'm going to be playing Wolfenstein on PC and definitely not Madden.  I won't get counted.  :(

I think they should have bet on a spread to make it fair. There is no way Wolfenstein will outsell Madden, even in this user base. Wolfenstein looks cool, but I'm afraid it'll go the way of Prey. My prediction: Jeff will be drinking gin at the end of the month, but it will cause him to throw up the tainted beef burrito he will unknowingly eat for lunch, so in the end it will be a good thing.

Dude, Madden will dominate Wolfenstein.  I don't play shooters or sports games, though.

Weak bet. Jeff we know can handle alcohol of all shapes and sizes, and Dave, well, poor Dave should be taught a lesson about betting against the GB collective unconscious. I say five shots in five minutes, then let the camera roll for another 30. That will be a video unlike any ever posted here.

Savages, the lot of you.  SAVAGES, I say!  Gin, served properly, is delicious.
 
Here's a recipe for a Dirty Gin Martini.  If you're going to drink it, at least do it right.
 
3.0oz Boodles Gin (or Beefeaters)
0.5oz Dry Vermouth
0.5oz Olive Brine
 
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.  Shake (or stir, for you purists) for 20-25 seconds (important!  It will taste like garbage if you don't don't shake enough or if you shake too long) pour into chilled cocktail (martini) glass.  Garnish with an odd number of olives.

this is like a bet for 2 school girls. 1 shot?  

-gulp- "omg yuck that was gross" 
 
and then Jeff and Dave are gonna get back to their slumber party? they think this is a real bet just because they threw up when trying Gin when they were like 15? those two are hardened alcholics now, they could take a shot of Everclear or an XXX jug of hillbilly liquor and be fine. 

they should have to take the shot on stage during their panel. in a skirt. thats a real man's bet.

Hahaha, current standings, 666 players of Madden versus 66 players of Wolfenstein. This isn't really a fair comparison right now because Wolfenstein comes out tomorrow, but still.

Man, listening to you guys makes me want a martini. I loves me some gin, especially Bombay Sapphire. But I agree with Ryan, the loser should have to drink bottom-shelf crap.

Not a fan of football but after playing Wolfenstein at Quakecon 2009, so easy to see which direction I've been leaning. Looking forward to this Wolfenstein game but after playing it, it's remarkably solid game & looks incredible.  
 
BTW Gin on it's own is kind of brutal which is why it's mixed with other things.

Even though I find gin to be a pretty nasty thing to sip (even with tonic), I'm with Ryan that they've gotta pony up something more serious when it comes to putting stuff on the line for this bet.

Cheap Gin.
Cheap Gin.
I would bet Jeff has the right idea...
I don't think the Giant Bomb fan base is into sports.
 
Gin is not that bad....

Hmmmm I don't know. Do we have many madden fans among us? I don't think Giant Bomb appeals to that market too much.

@Woocifer: This coming from a guy who has never obviously drank gin before. Douchebag listen I don't mind gin, and even I say it tastes like drinking oily sulfer that chemicals burns my throat as I swollow. Whiskey is like water, as are a lot of other drinks. Go do a straight shot of gin, then come back and say its a womens drink.

Good Lord, Jeff. What were you thinking?
 
Hell, I'd be willing to bet that more people will play Madden 10 by the end of the month than will play Wolfenstein ever.

There is no such thing as a disgusting alcoholic beverage, only men who are not man enough to drink them straight. 
 
Unless it's some disgusting shit like mixing precious liquour with some shitty shit i'd never drink like red bull.
