I actually pity the guy

• I was surprised, yes, I feel that 8.8 was a bit less than the game deserved (feel free to flame me about this), but I've never seen so much butthurt over a "great" rating. Makes me feel sorry for the guy for losing his job because a bunch of angry Zelda nerds raved and ranted.

The Twilight Princess review was dead-on, imo. Nintendo keeps copying and pasting the same shit for every Zelda game since OOT. And Jeff didn't get fired over the 8.8, it was because Eidos didn't get the review they paid for. Toxicity² 19:02, 2 December 2007 (CST)

• Oh. I guess I suck then for not reading it closer. Sure it's essentially copypasta, but hey, it sells, so Nintendo gets moar Jew golds. Slayer of horizontal scroll bars, lulz 21:28, 2 December 2007 (CST)

• Why would anyone agree with or feel sorry for Jeff anyway? He sucks and is a bias douchebag who needs to be fired or shot. --KristinaNardone 1:10, 6 January 1009 (GMT)

The 8.8 made me think of the Neonazi 88 (H is the eighth letter: Heil Hitler)--Jacob 13:24, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Unfortunately he has his own shitty ass website now

• Someone needs to create an article about his shitty excuse of a website called Giant Bomb , more like Giant Fail or Giant Dud, amirite? --KristinaNardone 1:10, 6 January 1009 (GMT)
