I think it was an intern video on YouTube. So it'd probably take some trawling to find it now.

Why the fuck is Johnny wearing a suit and tie to Disneyland? Official business? :lol
Well, he does work for Disney, doesn't he?

Yeah, Disney Interactive or whatever their games division is called, not Disneyland. Although I'm just going to assume that DI have meetings at Disneyland. Seems like a thing they'd do.
in his tweet it sounded like he drove from the office just to have lunch with Ryan.
But come on man, at least put on a two-sizes-too-small Winnie the Pooh shirt over your suit for effect!
LOL HES BAD AT GAMES RIGHT
he's obviously referring to the huge amounts of leeway they give you when it comes to wipeouts. Did you not see him landing with his board basically perpendicular to the slope half the time, or flying into a mountainside but still being alright?

Random PC Game will start any minute now.
Not showing the time at the end is a tease.

I'm so excited.
Holy fuck shit tits! Hold me! I get to listen / watch these guys talk about mechwarrior stuff twice in one day!
Yeah, actually, he is. And you need to keep that in mind when he talks about games, e.g. when he complained about how easy it was to run out of items in Alan Wake.
cuevas. PhD.

Oh shit someone stating what their experience was while playing a game? Helllll naw
I have no problem with him stating what he experienced, I just know that lack of items in Alan Wake was not a problem with the game when I played it. On Normal or Nightmare.

Do you guys think Jeff is a millionaire?

I think his tale of his new washing machine is enough to tell you that he has millions in the bank to spend on luxury items.

Why would he have a roommate if he was a millionaire?
Some people don't like to live alone.

Millionaires get lonely.
I find that a very weird part of his life to focus on for arguing against him being a millionaire, haha.

He pays him.
That's a strange comment. Do you think he should be sitting alone in a mansion if he were a millionaire?
He has a gag order from Gamespot, so he got a major payout. It's anyone's guess how much.

Jeff should write an autobiography, especially after hearing about that internet stuff.

My comment was strange? How do you get to "He should be Charles Foster Kane, ruing his life in his solitary estate!" from "Why would you put up with some dude living in your house if you could afford to own it yourself?"
what specific internet stuff? you mean the whole Gamespot thing?
Because the implication is you would only want company in your house because you can't afford to be on your own, I think that's bizarre, and depressing.

I think he means from the Bombcast this week.
The Gamespot story is the one we all want and will probably never hear though!

He said something about 'messing around' on the internet in his youth. The whole Gamespot thing would be pretty cool to hear about, too.

A grown man living alone who has a rich work and social life and has yet to marry is bizarre and depressing? Seek help.
There are other ways to get company in your house than having a roommate.

When he reties he will the one of the FEW people in the entire world who can do an AMAZING book about the video games industry from the press side.
Because he has been covering it since the beginning and almost no-one can say that.
Thought about this a few months ago he really needs to write a book but not yet.
In the USA having room/house mates is very more socially acceptable than in Europe, where you live longer with your parents until you find a partner to live with or living on your own.
I didn't say that, at all. I said not having enough cash is not the only reason a person would choose to live with a flatmate.

He definitely needs to do it when he retires. I would love to read that.
I think if you were an adult with a steady job you'd be able to afford a washing machine. They start at $400.

And god bless him for it. I may agree with his opinions on specific games quite often (particularly when it comes to his dismissal of sacred cows), but when it comes to general matters in games, dude is a fucking bastion of truth. Way too often I forget how good Jeff is at his job.

He is living the dream with a dream job so no I do not think he is retiring any time soon.
But can any one name a other "game press" person who has been working in the industry for 25 years now?
Because I actually like to know.

Seriously?
Some of you guys are taking this way too seriously. I didn't consider the fact Jeff would have a lot of money from Gamespot, haha.
