During the 7 hour Destiny stream the other day, Jeff started out with a sore throat and left with a cold.

I thought it would be kinda interesting to see a timelapse of that (because I don't think there exists timelapse videos of people getting a cold), so I cut this video together.

Get well soon, Jeff!

This is great! Great choice of music too.

Beautiful

haha that's perfect!

So it wasn't just Destiny game face that made him seem a bit haggard. Man he did a ton better than I would have in that situation. I can't game with colds it just throws me off too much.

Feel better soon Jeff!

This stream just keeps on giving.

This is, hands down, one of the greatest things I've seen on this site.

He drank from the wrong cup and then he started to age rapidly.

Someone put a Max Headroom background on this thing!

I applaud you good sir or madam, this was great all around.

Sitting at home watching Jeff catch a cold while having a cold myself makes me happy :)

Get well soon Jeff.

I think this is less of a cold and more of Destiny sapping away his life essence.

The music makes this. Well done.

Poor Jeff. He got those platforming sections done though.

It's like watching Anakin Skywalker progressively turn to the darkside in episode III. Poor Jeff, awesome vid!

@i_stay_puft: Though, played back at this speed, it's more like the scene when Palpatine hits himself with force lighting.

Jeff is having a good run of getting ill over the course of a live stream. It's a damn shame. Here's to a speedy recovery!

Awesome!

Okay this is fucking great.

Well done.

Destiny raids. Not even once.

He barely ever smiles in 7 hours of video. Why, Destiny, why!?

I read that as Jeff Gertmann getting old and thought wtf there's a timelapse about it?

You can see his thoughts growing darker as the time-lapse goes on.

I didn't think he needed to be sick for that, though.

Thank you for this.

Best use of Leisure Suit Larry 7 music? Maybe.

Great music. Poor Jeff - get well soon.

Poor dude, That dude can power his way through some nonsense in a way I can only respect but not understand

Hahaha, this is awesome! I imagine this is what he's doing at home right now...

You forgot the last part of the stream which I found here.

Don't do Destiny, kids. There are a lot of people that love you very much, you got your whole lives ahead of you, don't throw it all away.

Making you physically ill over the course of 8 hours, Destiny: The 10th Best Game of 2014.

At about the halfway point, his face seems to noticeably droop. Confirmation bias? Probably.

Get well soon, Jeff.

I watched something similar happen during the Rocket leauge rematch

You know, it doesn't seem as bad when spread out over 7 hours but holy shit that was nightmarish.

Now we know what happens when you play destiny! so don't play it !.. or maybe it's okey

Watching this I have to wonder, does Jeff wear guyliner?

Proof that Destiny is literally bad for your health. They should put that on the box.

Add Metal Gear Solid 5 music (Sins of the Father) for a more dramatic effect.

And don't do Destiny kids.

Giant Bomb makes another contribution to science as Jeff Gerstmann plays Destiny for the greater good of all mankind.

He looks and sounds exactly the same at the beginning and end, sorry to be the wet blanket.
