Jar Time w/ Jeff: Hot Jars Forever! - 03/19/2012

Hey Jeff, can you use the Nintendownload Express intro music for this? I loved that tune!!!

keep the podcast long!!!! the longer the better, I don't think people will complain about 4 hours.

I used to love manuals - ripping open a game on the ride from the game store and reading the manual was awesome. Given the rise of tutorials, the story in game instead of fake backstory in a manual, and the fact that I now get games from Amazon instead of riding to the store with my Mom is really the death of the manual.

@Jeff - If you shorten the podcast to accommodate GameSpot norms I will throw all of your video game collection into a motherfucking river.

(And by "throw your video game collection into a motherfucking river" I mean, "I will moan passive-aggressively for a while and then lose interest entirely".)

And I'll literally throw your shit into a river.

Who's Methodus?

Curious about this as well.

good god man. that room is killing my ocd.

I know how you feel man.

EDIT: I didn't realize that price of a game is such an expenditure that review sites are willing to change reviews just to get freegames.

Yuck. The comments on this site are getting dumb and gross. People argue about the dumbest shit on here that has nothing to do with the content.

On another note: Bombcast, the longer the better.

$100 for the Mass Effect Trilogy sounds crazy. I paid more buying them all at launch on Xbox 360, but also have the ME1&2 on PC that I got for $5 each. So, wait for steam or amazon to have them on sale again is what I'd recommend.

If you make a personal attack on the internet, I will personally attack you off the internet.

If the jar is hot doesn't that mean Jeff is drinking hot water?

Funny how he opens with an anecdote about CNET buying out Ziff Davis and saying "We didn't know what was going to happen. Didn't CNET already have a video game website? Turns out they just shut that site down."

Don't feed the troll, jeff :-)

I agree with Jeff that a best of the week might be good. I'm wasting too much time watching videos on GB that I watch more videos of games than actually playing games. I've stopped watching most games for systems I don't have or I'm not interested in at least. I need to get less lazy and actually play games instead of just watching others play games.

Lame!! You should have guests on the show!!!

THE PODCAST IS PROBABLY TOO LONG?????

BLASPHEMY!!!!

@Nashvilleskyline:

Great, another "Jeff is a suicidal cynic" person. It's not depression or cynicism when he's making observations on the state of the industry that he's worked in for what, nearly two decades now, and knows inside and out. Just because he does not paint a sunny outlook on things does not make him jaded.

And telling him to get laid(he's done that already) is a really pathetic insult. Try to put as much thought into your snide remarks as Jeff puts into his Jar Time answers.

Nothing to do with Jeff (i don't even want to know), but saying "Sex, yeah I've done that already" sounds like sex to you is like an achievement, you do it once and then you're done with it - this is not how the world functions, or at least how I feel about it, so in essence what you said was just as stupid as the guy who wrote he should get laid - in fact you didn't insult a person, you insulted the entire human race and most likely every living being existing.

What in the holy shit are you guys talking about?

SHIT!!!!!!!!

@rudyarr: You can just DL the MP4 and convert that to audio using a program like Format Factory or something.

As of now I take all my game discs and put them into a large, leather binder and keep the boxes in ... bigger boxes. I could see myself throwing them out easily upon a house move or something. I just hate the clutter.

I still like Mass Effect 1 on the 360 and play it regularly. Still my favourite one in terms of using biotic powers.

I think we need to get Jeff on an episode of Hoarders

That podcast needs to be like a hour longer on average

Anime is for jerks, Jeff. I don't know if you know this.

@LiquidSword: mind blown

SO...MUCH...JAR TIME!!!

@depecheload: yeah thats what i started doing. but he should still think about having it available already :)

The Bombcast needs to be LONGER not shorter?!?!

Even Jeff hates Methodis.

the bombcast isn't long enough in my opinion........

Keep those podcasts long.

I like it in hour chunks over 3 days or so.

Yes, the long podcast is awesome.

Ad-Block for life bro.
 
Honestly, I can't wait for internet ads to become an nonsustaining source of income.  Commercials are an archaic form of advertisement that needs to die.  If you added every minute of your life wasted on being forced to watch advertisements, for the average person over a lifetime it's probably over a full year.  Social media and bloggers/writers/journalists are all you really need anymore to have your product name available and to be praised or shunned which is brilliant when you think about it...having non-employee customers provide substantial marketing for you free of cost.
 
If that means half the internet falls apart without ads, then a new/better solution should be researched and implemented for sustainability.  Ad-Block is like DVR for the internet and i suggest everyone use it, especially considering it significantly increases your computers security.
 
 
And also, there is nothing special that makes Mac computers more secure.  Although PC/Microsoft may be losing market share...it's still like 90-95% PC vs 5-10% Apple.  It's more worthwhile to hack the larger userbase. 

Artillery! I remember the Gorilla game--chucking bananas at roommates across a skyline. Good times.

I'm not much of a neat freak, but FUCK man, after that reveal of his game... archive... room, I wanna just clean up that fucking room.

It is jarring!

Holy crap Jeff, my room is clean by comparison!

There's a strange synergy between the screen grabs of Jeff here and Big Bo over in the quick looks.

What is Jeff's username on Comic Vine?

I would watch that show

I'm with Jeff on the left hand stuff. I write with my left hand and that's about it, apart from throwing a ball. I also felt pretty weird when the Wii first came out as I instinctively put the nunchuk in my right hand... Which didn't work all that well.

Agreed!

I don't understand people who are left handed and can't use a mouse right handed. I am left handed and use the mouse right handed. Its freaking awesome. I can take notes and mouse at the same time.

@seanord: A few of my old high school friends and I still do the Gorillas victory dance, when appropriate.

What is your username on Comic Vine Jeff??

Vehicle pages for the wiki sounds awesome.

Almost banned

Jeffs jar was helpful
