A couple of days ago, we told you how David Jaffe, the designer of the original God of War title, was going nuts over how great God of War III looked. He actually said "HOLY HOLY HOLY F**KING HELL!!!!" We didn't think much about it, honestly. We simply said that "the hype-train pulling into town," and then went about our buisness.
After Jaffe's quote "...looks like a painting come to life" dropped, the folks on NeoGAF began bracing for the worst, as they all knew for sure that sh*t was about ot hit the forum's fan. Forum user EmCeeGramr said it best:
this thread is going to look like a painting: the scream
Oh, how I laughed. Heartily. The NeoGAF guys barely got started, though. After about 100 posts in, David Jaffe pops in to respond to respond to comments on his original post as well as on some personal attacks. His response wasn't very professional, but it was still great.
This one is so good that you'll have to check it out after the jump.
David's entire post:
Jesus fucking Christ.
Some of you guys are just nuts man.
Has my little blog post- wherein (by the way) I trumpeted the greatness of BOTH a PS3 title AND a 360 title- really bothered enough people that they are back on this 'my console, your console' thing? I mean, what the hell? Can some of you people just get beyond it?
It's a stupid fucking console. You made a choice- or your mummy and daddy made a choice- and bought you a fucking console to play games on. If you really waste ANY MORE energy giving a fuck about which console is better/best/etc...it's like: man, one day you will look back and go: How did I spent more than 5 seconds thinking about that crap? Hell, my LIVING is determined by how well consoles do and I don't spend 5% the time some of you guys/gals do thinking about this.
God of War 3 looks amazing- STUNNING. One of the best games I've ever seen. And yes, I've seen Crysis. It's a totally different thing. Both are amazing. Gears plays and looks amazing too. There is ROOM for that in the world. Lot of talent in my business, thus, lot of great games. Live with it. Or don't. Whatever.
Also, as to the way I look:
a- please post a more current picture. That was a few months after the hell that was directing GOD OF WAR. No time for the gym, no time for hair cuts. No time for anything. Tends to happen when you commit to something you love and give it your all. One day if you get a job that demands more of you than making sure the customer's paper doesn't land in the sticker bushes you may know what I mean.
b- Please post your picture so we can fuck with it in photoshop and make fun of it. I'm sure you're a real looker.
c- And not to go there, but I just believe in pure honesty so I have to tell the truth: your mother didn't think I was so ugly last nite. But then again, my cock was firmly in her throat and she was probably not looking at my face. But when I gave her the 10 spot afterwards, I could have sworn she made eye contact with me and she told me to, 'Come back again anytime' so my looks could not have bothered her that much, right?
d- Oh, and when you see her next, please tell her my cock is starting to turn a strange shade of green. Should I be worried? I guess that's what I get from getting a blow job from a woman who kind of looks like the Hulk. Shit, what does that say about me?!?
Talk later-
David
This may not be very professional of me, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Now, seven thread pages later, and this post is a new classic. It makes for great slow news day reading. Check it out.

that thread was pretty awesome.
my SNES is so much better! we have more colors and better sound!! heheh.. (sure you did have mutant league football.. man, why doesn't EA bring that game/series back? madden is prety lame these days!)
Fucking win...
Oh I hope for the day when he an Destructoid's own Jim Sterling get into a shitstorm. I believe that I could actually die of laughter when those two feed it to themselves.
I dont think jaffee is saying that competition is a bad thing, but the imbeciles who devote the time to bringing down the other system because its made by the other guy is rather fucking stupid. just because some people can only afford one console doesnt mean that automatically their decision was the correct one. This is coming from an impartial side because I own them all because I'm not a child and can afford whatever I want whenever I want. This silly arguing over who is better than the other just continues to divide gamers over something that will never affect your lives at all. It's fucking video games. they are supposed to be fun no matter what you are gaming on. with so much seriousness in the world video games are that last vestige of taking the time to relax and kill some zombies or save the princess.
That line made it for me.
