This isn't as satisfying when you are not depriving someone of something they want.

The absence of these videos recently has been really jarring. Good to see them return.

That guy asking about multiplayer is making the mistake of assuming everyone else had the same personal experience he did. It's more likely his life situation has changed since Halo 2 came out rather than games themselves have changed all that much.

I'm with you. These are so good, I'm almost upset they were gone for so long.

Always good to get more Jar Time. It's great when the GB crew go out of their way to produce more content. I wish Spookin' With Scoops became more of a thing though. Feel like that only lasted a little while at best.

Teletext! Yeahhh. I forgot all about that nonsense. Every time my uncle came to my house he would spend hours looking through that teletext stuff. Like a retro newspaper on your TV.

I like it a bit too much that the fact that Jeff knows about Goldie Lookin Chain. Also that previous sentence was written so badly.
EDIT: and yeah, Teletext is over now Jeff :(

People, stop talking of the '83 crash like it was everywhere. It was in the US, and in the console market, arcades and computers were as happy as ever and the rest of the world didn't even notice.

That tv is shot! My brother got a...somebodies plasma. I am pretty sure it was the Panasonic..maybe Samsung if they make one. At any rate good black and color. Plasma has really re-asserted itself, was suppossed to be heading to the end of the pack at some point. I have a Samsung 56" DLP, and the last TV repairman (lol) assured me it was still a very good gaming set.

It's weird that one of the things I look forward to the most with a new The Elder Scrolls game is a 12 hour playthrough by Greg on this site (please make that happen!). His solo playthrough of Skyrim is one of my favourite pieces of content this site has ever done.

BF3, BC2 and BF1943 on PS3 have bigger multiplayer populations than most games. Uncharted 3 has also had a huge population even before going free.
