I remember when all this nonsense blew up a couple years ago. I laughed then and I laugh now.
 
Is there still rampent fanboyism like this nowerdays with review scores? Since GiantBomb launched I've gladly not paid attention to any review score besides GB's 5 star scale.

Interesting.

What just happened?

You're the man now dog.

Thats a mighty strange YTMND, personally I like this one of a dude completely losing his fucking mind on his terrible internet radio slot:

Its long but its really worth it once his dad comes down to the basement.

A score of 8.8?! Oh noes!

GOD FORBID AN 8.8! Oh fanboys sometimes...

Jeff has failed us.

Lol, good stuff.. Idiot fanboys =p

does anyone have the screencap of the Gamespot Zelda forums after Jeff gave it that score?  That pic is hilarious.

Fucking fanboy bullshit, OMG 8.8, sometimes I wish the people like that were in a real life saw reality show.

Lol, I remember when the internet exploded after Jeff gave that game an 8.8. Lol @ fanboys...

Fun fact: go on Google.com and type 8.8 and then look at the first search result.

Wait... Jeff was the one who reviewed it? Wow. WOW. I'm not joking when I say this - but this review was the reason why I stopped listening to reviews, almost three years ago. I didn't know who he was back then, and when I read the review, I didn't really care. 
 
Wow... 
 
I just didn't like how points were taken off because the game didn't "evolve" anything. For me, I don't care about any of that - if the game is fun, memorable, whatever, I will love it. I don't think that gaming has anything to do with Darwinism. I dunno, it just kinda ground my gears. 
 
And, now knowing that the same guy who reviewed Twilight Princess also reviewed BlazBlue, I kinda get it. I'm just glad I'm not swayed by reviews :D I still think Jeff is really cool, I just don't agree with some of his reviews.

" @Crono: Dude, that's all reviews are: opinions. So yes, I let someone's opinion stop me from being swayed by opinions. "

O god, he's a Twilight Princess fanboy, and even more frightening, a Blazblue fanboy?!  Everyone....run. "

Thats a 9.0 or a 4/5 stars on todays scale. 
 
silly people.

Woah, forgot about that.  That was the only period I was on the HATE JEFF GERSTMANN bandwagon.  I got over it, I thought he had a vendetta against the wii or zelda or some shit, then I found it he gave orcania 10 so he must be a sensible guy.  Either or, I had just bought a wii and was getting TP and the last thing I wanted to hear was the first zelda game on the wii wasnt peferct in every which way.  Tho he's right, I never finished that game, eventually I realized this is just another fucking zelda game, g'damn nintendo.

If it was .2 points more it would be .8 points too less still. And if it was .8 points more it would be .3 points too much. Silly fanboys.

What...?

Gah, should not have had my volume that high for whatever the hell that was.

no you shut the fuck up dad

" Fun fact: go on Google.com and type 8.8 and then look at the first search result. "

Well, that would probably be a 5 stars here at Giant bomb, so that wouldn't happen today I guess.

Man, I love YTMND.

It should have gotten an 8.7!

" It should have gotten an 8.7! "

Ha, I remember that.

wait was that the precursor to the hamburger thread?

Jesus Christ... "

I never learn my lesson. My volume is always about 3/4 to 4/5 so I almost jumped out of my chair when the music came on.

I remember when one of my friends jumped on the "OMG 8.8???" bandwagon. 
 
I stopped reading forums and comments for like a year.

That review just made me love Jeff even more. Silly fanyboys.

I was okay with 8.8 until he gave the Gamecube version an 8.9. I'm kidding. He and Ryan loved the Wii from the beginning.
 
 

NEDM and Jeff coming up.
