Why is Geoff so based?
There's a certain amount of integrity that you sacrifice when you do what he does
but I think he's managing well, and I enjoy most of his shows
>>319831405
>His smile and optimism: gone.
We were supposed to protect that smile.
>>319831405
Mountain Dew is shit though. Doritos are good though, especially cool ranch.
>>319831405
>Geoff
Is his fucking name pronounced jeff?
>>319832086
is english your first language? if it is, kill yourself
don't forget he funded the game awards with his own money. sure they're sorta shit but it's helping games in significant ways.
>>319832018
Only a chosen few can taste the greatness that is Mt. Dew, casul.
>>319832196
fuck off shlomo
>>319831405
What did he say to/about peeved Pedro?
>>319831915
>That pic
I still don't understand why people were mad about Geoff advertising Halo 4's Mountain Dew and Doritos campaign. It's just advertising but I see people making it out to be that he killed a child or something. What's the big deal?
>>319831405
Does he actually care or is he just putting on a show?
>>319831405
>>tore Angry Joe a new one on video
I don't remember this.
Also, ecelebs are not video games.

DEAD INSIDE
>>319832086
I knew /v/ was retarded but fuck
>>319832563
Shitposting isn't vidya either, but 90% of people here do it anyways.
I will never understand why people were mad about the Dewritos ad. How is it any different from other stuff he's advertised? He's a high profile figure in video games its only natural he'd get picked to do something like that. Plus he has bosses, they tell him to do something he well has to do it.
He's always been based, he even likes being known as the Dewritos Pope

>ecelebs
Are you stupid, he has been a professional journalist for many years
>>319832536
i think he's passionate enough about it and it took balls to call out konami like that
if it was strictly business he probably wouldn't have slighted konami like that
>>319831405
>buddies with Reggie
Huh?
>>319832536
oh he cares anon.
Just look at him back then, full of spirit and happiness, and then look at him now.
The terrible burden of insider information about the industry that the general populace will never hear of, that he has to carry on his shoulders
He just wants to see vidya be good again
>>319832671
That doesn't mean it's ok.
Besides, shitposting is at least more fun than obsessing over some eceleb.
>>319832476
It an excellent representation of the core of the shit in the industry, you would not see a mainstream journalist doing anything remotely like that, and there's a good reason for it. It's the same kind of thing that got Jeff Gerstmann fired for giving Kane and Lynch a bad review, it's a significant part of why GamerGate took off.
I WANT TO [SPOILER]fuck[/spoiler] GEOFF
>>319831405
>>319831915
>>319832814
He looks so dead inside.
>>319832398
Shitskin detected
It's funny, because Geoff is like a straight man in a sitcom to me. Like everyone gives him so much shit and he just has to put up with it all. He's a honest to god straight man to the madness of the video game industry.
>>319832196
>>319832661
how the fuck do you pronounce geoff then, shitbirds? GEE-OFF? thats fucking retarded
>>319832843
You condone shitposting; your argument doesn't hold any weight, jackass.
>>319832741
>Why are people upset that a professional journalist was paid money to promote something?
>>319832476
Video Gamers like to believe that their form of media is above that sort of shelling out, like people think movies and comic books. But truth is, almost all media is just advertisement. How many films exist purely to make sequels? How many comics are just there to hype up the next event? Gamers just want to believe their media is above it.
>>319833000
No I don't, I just acknowledge that off topic shit is bound to end up here and that I'd prefer the lesser of the two evils.
>>319832751
>>Starts by saying "I have a bone to pick with you!"
Nobody will take an interviewer seriously after that.
>>319833076
Its not like it was his review, he was doing a show, Microsoft and Frito-Lay clearly paid Gametrailers to promote both their products and had Geoff get on camera to read off a teleprompter what they wanted him to read.
Adverts are bribes
>>319832563
not sure if the right one but he still got btfo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTNkoDzP1hI
>>319832814
This. He has had an intimate look at the slow corruption of the thing that he loved enough to pursue as a career.
>>319832858
>it's a significant part of why Gamergate took off
If you're talking about Geoff, i doubt it. For Gerstmann, is that true? I know he gave Kane and Lynch 2 a bad rep because he was just speaking his opinion, but did he even have an effect on Gamergate? I don't think I will ever understand the Geoff and Halo 4 situation. The man was just paid to advertise the game, same as Nintendo Power writers, same as any reviewer. It's not anything new.
>>319831405
>Tore Infuriated Jim a new one on video.
Source?
>"Please welcome Stefanie Jewsten"
Oh my shitlist for the rest of time
>>319832814
well if he doesn't like it why does he still insist on staying in the game? has he sold his soul to the god of vidya or something?
Pray4Pope
>>319832086
you were supposed to learn that from ultima
>>319833804
Because he still cares, anon. He wants to see the industry thrive and be free of the issues plaguing the industry. He's one of the few people left that you can tell really cares about the industry.
>>319833443
This shit never gets old.
>>319834013
but what can he do to stop it? he's just one man he can't do it all
>>319832814
>>319832956
It's our fault too.
>>319833750
>>319832751
>mad that the man running the fucking show isn't giving him undivided attention
Jose is such a whiny bitch.
>>319834180
That's the issue, he is just one man.
>>319832086
No, it's pronounced Gee-OH-FF-Fu
>>319834201
It's pretty neat that he responded so calmly to the whole thing, good approach
>>319833804
He does try to do some good though, as is apparent of him helping fund TGA out of his own pocket, not to mention that his entire career has been based on video games. Most of his connections and ties are going to be video game related, if he tried something else he'd find himself a nobody were he to try and become some sort of equivalent for movies, music, etc
>>319834013
this too. You can tell he cares, sure he can't freely speak his mind due to his obligation to remain unbiased and neutral (which really shows during the VGAs when he was paired up with Joel McHale) as he's almost a spokesperson for video games in general now.
>>319834180
We need to lend our pope our power, it's the only way we can make a change
>>319834201
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Dorito Pope was his low point, you could tell it was already killing him inside to straight up do it, so the reaction only made it worse. There was only upwards to go from there
>>319834201
Fuck you its not my fault he wanted to surround himself with low tier chips and dip. I like the canadian prick but don't go pinning the blame on others for his own dong.
>>319831915
>mfw I know the guy who originally found this video back in Oct '12 and took the screencap
>mfw he regrets doing it because he thinks Geoff is basedand I do too
>ran an "awards" show where people only came for the fucking announcements
he has my respect but he's getting on thin ice.
>>319832751
>There is no MMO category
>You should know what MMO's came out this year even though there is no MMO category, this is your award show.
God damn this guys list of grievances is fucking pathetic.
>>319832751
>tfw you will never be as pathetic as this spic cunt
Bonus points if the internet starts seeing crying over five dollydoos because that shit never gets old
Why does Geoff wear so many fucking layers?
Do any of you guys actually like him? I laughed when Joel asked him to name one game he played all year and he couldnt say anything.
>>319834201
if anything, nobody really cares why it happened
it is just a funny meme, like
DUDE DORITOHS AND POPE LMAO
>>319835471
I don't really like him because I don't personally know him to make a proper decision in regards to this. But it wouldn't kill for him to at least smile a little more chirst he looks like a fucking dead man some 75% of the time.
>>319832751
FINAL FANTASY FOURTEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Even to this day, Jose is still butthurt. 30 minutes of damage control didn't help.
>>319832751
I've never enjoyed angry joe, but god damn does he argue like a autist.
"I was nice! I came at it with diplomacy!" Dude almost seems parallel with fucking Chris-chan, but instead of using autism and trans-genderism as a shield for his own shitty personality he uses his fans.
Oh and his fans, his fucking fans man, dude speaks like the Dane Cook of games, he is not an intelligent reviewer, he harps on little points and claims that, because he doesn't just give games 9/10s all the time he has some sort of ethical monopoly over game reviewers.
Literally Angry Joe uses his fans to boost his own ego, he never explains why he was entitled to such an interview.
>>319832751
I actually kind of liked Angry Joe until this video, where he had shown how much of a gigantic baby he really is.
>>319832751
Joe doesn't even play fighting games like that.
I just hope the Budlight Bishop stays true and doesn't become empty and cynical like the pope.
>>319836607
He talked about why he did that in the last final bosman
Basically they contacted him asking if he wanted to do a man on the street segment and he said yes straight away
Then later told him it was sponsored by bud light
>>319832751
I have no mouth yet I must scream

>>319837776
Angry Pendejo is so obnoxious, holy shit.
People who follow him are LITERALLY retarded.
He even takes donation money on twitch
Makes a fortune on youtube and takes donation-money on twitch. Even has a fucking patreon I reckon ( may be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised)
Obnoxious. This is why we need the wall, Mister Trump.
>>319838957
>makes a fortune on youtube
Yeah, $7 is a lot of money in Mexico!
>>319832536
He's literally BFFs with Kojima. He cares about him, and what he's going through.
>>319833621
I didn't mean to imply Gamergate was directly caused by the events with Geoff or Jeff, I meant that the kind of issues with journalistic integrity at the root of those situations are part of why GG got big. The dissatisfaction with gaming journalists has been brewing for a long time.
Reviewers are not paid to advertise anything, they are paid to review things. On occasion their positive statements are used as promotional tools yes, but that is an indirect situation, money doesn't change hands.
>>319833804
A man has to eat, not many would give up a position like his willingly.
>>319834201
Just a little further.
One more push and he'll become Super Geoff 3.
I can feel it.
