What is all this "Mario Kart 64 is not very good" talk? THAT'S IT, i'm canceling my subscription RIGHT NOW, this is insanity and TREASON!

Forget Snowden, your government should focus on tracking down Jeff!

I can't figure out why Jeff's taste in games surprises people. How does this still surprise people? This is Jeff Gerstmann. This is Jeff we're talking about. Have you not heard the hundreds of other times he's gone on record and said he didn't enjoy or found a popular game disappointing? Like Super Metroid, Half Life 2, Super Smash Bros., Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Red Dead Redemption, Metroid Prime, Dota 2, Metal Gear Solid, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark, Sonic 3, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox 64, Resident Evil 4, and not to mention Nights Into Dreams. And that's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head.

Jeff is really interesting when he talks about games because I feel like he's all over the place. He's a real wild card. But at some point this has to be common knowledge right? It can't be a surprise if he's already said he didn't like Mario Kart 64 many times in the past, right?

I'm just kidding, you know? ;)

Anyway, I'm just going to say it: Mario Kart 64 is awesome and it was NOT my first Mario Kart. Theory debunked!

The theory is your first Mario Kart is your FAVORITE Mario Kart. You can like Mario Kart 64 as much as you want, but if it's not your favorite then the theory still stands.

Well alright then, Mario Kart 64 is my FAVORITE Mario Kart even though I played Super Mario Kart earlier. Satisfied?

The Perfect Dark Zero music sounds straight up like some Portishead type shit. Cool.

Jeff seems to hate so many games that I love. C'mon, Mario Kart 64 was the best! (even though it was the only one I played.)

Oh, it's just a little shorter. I was expecting Drew had shaved his head or something. :D

I can't figure out the Crash Time tutorial voice guy's accent. It sound like maybe he is native German speaker, who also has spoken french as second language since childhood. Then, at some point later, learned english in... Ireland? And then spent some time in the states?

Wow. Got some Q Sound/Kukeiha Club thing going on there in RotT.

That guy in the driving game sounds like his accent got lost in Bratislava on the way to Tuscaloosa.

I love how Jeff offhandedly dismisses Halo, and then spends five minutes solid talking about R.O.B.

I think they're even being too kind to Perfect Dark Zero. The controls were a little better after they patched it, but it was just the worst. Awful, awful game.

For the record, PDZ was first developed for the Gamecube, actually. Then of course Rare moved over to Microsoft, so then it was an Xbox title. That didn't work out and it became a 360 game.

The multiplayer in PDZ is awful but it really makes me long for a good silly multiplayer shooter like the Timesplitters games or something in that vein.

...and a 6.4 for Mario Kart 64 sounds about right.

Drew looks like an outfielder now. Either that or a Hawaii Five-O villain. He's young and reckless and into the drugs.

And yeah, Drew, play Mortal Kombat. I am highly inept with fighters, but I still taught myself enough of that game to have a good time with it. And I never even played it locally, which would have helped.

Someone must have posted this here already but just in case: Perfect Dark Zero received a 9.0 from GameSpot. Reviewed by Greg Kasavin. So while it's fun to shit all over the game now, keep in mind that when it came out, many publications, including the one these guys were affiliated with at that time, were quite enamored with PDZ upon release.

This may be a first, but I actually preferred the console version of MK9. It looks weird with more fps.

@jakkblades: Yeah. I actually agree with a lot of Jeff's dislike of "beloved" games, but he literally goes from dismissing Halo to saying Gyromite was a great game. Gyromite was pretty awful.

Halo...I actually do think it was a bit overpraised, but it pretty much made shooters on consoles legitimate and holds up reasonably well.

Those classic costumes in MK9 look awful. I can't remembered if it was paid dlc or what, but I never used them.

There will always be someone older than you though, so it's not something I'd think too much about. While Mario Kart 64 is among my childhood gaming memories, Battletoads & Double Dragon was the first game I can remember playing.

Man, this sort of made me want to get Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Always found the core game boring as hell, but the modes Jeff were playing seemed fun.

@wolfhazard: No. It would be nigh on impossible to play Rise of the Triad with an analogue stick. Especially multiplayer, it requires movements too fast to use a gamepad.
