Jar Time w/ Jeff: Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Jar - 10/02/2012

Unlike the song for which this video is titled, this question answering session does not feature the world's greatest key change. Giant Bomb regrets the omission.

You ask the questions, Jeff Gerstmann supplies the answers.

check and see if the valves are all the way open or maybe the valve is old and broke half way open it happens to valves all the time probably happen when they made the repair because it hasent been used in such a long time it happens all the time. I would know im a plumber if you were wondering. if you want to check go to the valves connected to the pipes on the heater and slowly and gently turn them if they turn and dont stop eventually its broken and not giving you full pressure and needs to be changed if you want the pressure and just in case a pipe burst you have all your valves working and can shut and isolate the water feed instead of shutting down the whole house with the main valve. im sorry typing is not my profession and you're welcome.

"Room temperature water" is an interesting term for corn liquor there, Jeff. :P

All you need to know about why game developers don't trust showing things that aren't ready or won't be available in the final game is to look at the furor over Fuse/Overstrike changing its art style and name. People have gone nuts claiming they sold out or tried to be more mainstream or something similarly dumb. All over one CG non-gameplay trailer looking different than another CG non-gameplay trailer.

I'm debating whether or not to compliment Jeff on the weight loss he mentioned, but I figure he'd just punch me in the face.

Most new water heaters have a mixer in them. It helps fend off legionnaire's disease but it effects pressure.

I would say he looks more like a young Roy Orbison. Just slap a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers on him, and he could be singing Pretty Woman at a Vegas look-a-like show!

Check the Valves, Jeff. Call , (cover your ass) but make sure the valve by (above) the HW heater is fully open and even (also) the House valve by out front. Hopefully one is up by the house and not dependent on the water company valve in a box out by the street. Also, perhaps (but not likely) a kink in the Tubing connectors they like to use, but I cannot imagine them doing that in the install.

Did plumbing towards the end of my career...

Edit, dependent on the flushing they did if especially you have galvanized piping, the shower head may have plugged up...

Really interesting discussion at the end of the video about the future of the consoles, developers and video games in general. Sounds like maybe some game developers have over hired and now they are hurting for money. And they are really hoping that the next console cycle pulls their bacon out of the fire.

It will be interesting to see what happens next year with the new cycle coming upon us. I think either the gap between triple A titles and the small indie stuff is going to widen or something will have to change to make the middle road games more doable. But then again, maybe all these problems are from a culture shift in general among the populace and the whole industry may have to shrink a little. That's a scary thought. I'm glad I'm a little more focused on PC gaming myself. While I love consoles and I am greatly looking forward to the next ones, I'm glad I have my trusty PC to fall back on if just for different gaming experiences.

I clearly don't know enough about music, because I just listened to Billy Ocean's "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" over and over trying to hear this key change you speak of. I'm not mad, cause it's a good song, but still...

This is great! Put a period before the word "trying" and you do sound mad. ;)
