GameSpot's Jeff, Get's the BOOT!

Now as enthusiastic and cheery as the title looks, I'm really actually rather upset over this matter. I strongly believe this act was foul play, Jeff, though a chubby man, was a good reviewer of videogames. He may have had some "bad calls", but that's one thing to like. He never went easy on a game, and he always made sure the game recieved a fair score. Now, some of you may argue that point, but it's actually true. His reviews were constantly lower then most other gaming sites, say: 1up, IGN, even magazines like OXM or Game Informer.

Jeff had an eye for humor as well, his videos were always somewhat humerous, even the reviews, he made sure to cover every aspect of the game and, in detail, describe it's flaws. He was the best reviewer and best personality that GameSpot had. It now seems that GameSpot is slowly losing steam, as it should, and is becoming less and less reliable to the majority of people that go there.

An official response was given in regards to this matter....HAHA! Yes, and that's all it was, they basically told us "Hey, it's not what you think. But we ain't gonna tell!" That's it....bull shit. I don't think it's coincidence that Assassin's Creed received a 9 out of 10 when it had like what? 7 million ads on that site. Kevin VanOrd reviewed that game, now does it deserve that score? You be the judge I guess but I personally don't agree with it. At all. It deserves an 8 at best, it was flawed and got repetitive with no replay value. Anyways, the coincidence being that a game of lesser quality then a 9 recieved a 9. Kane and Lynch a decent game at best recieved a 6, by Jeff. Now, what happened to him? Oh yeah, he got fired. How many ads were on that site before and even after the game came out? 7 million you say?

Hmmm.....well, GameSpot, I don't particularly like the taste of bull shit, so you think you could feed us something else?

My above comment was caused by a short black Gary Coleman impersonator, and does not actually reflect my sexual preference.

Ignore ’em, 8bit Coder; they’re just fuckin’ with ya. Granted, they do have a point — the internets move at the speed of light, and this is ancient news by now, even though it’s less than a week old. But you get points for articulating your opinion in a coherent blog post that (for the most part) follows the conventions of the English language. Keep it up!

P.S. I said “for the most part” because of your title: “Get’s” is the possessive, which doesn’t make sense here; you want “Gets”.

White boy indeed, I don't really love the cock though but I don't doubt that soon I will fall in love with it seeing as it's apparently the best.

However, calling me a white boy might not be entirely accurate seeing as I'm a little paler then white...I don't get out much...
