Jeff Bell recognizes Joystiq's contribution to society

by Justin McElroy { Nov 20th 2007 at 12:30PM }

So, check this out, blogger's prerogative: We've totally flipped on Jeff Bell. Sure, when we first met Jeff Bell at E3, we rushed to judgment, laughing up our sleeves and revoking his Ghetto Pass. But as things went on, our understanding and appreciation of Jeff Bell (or, as he's known on the streets, "Jeff Bell") continued to grow.

First, he goes all troll on the message boards, asking a user what his contribution to society was, which was undeniably funny. Now, he's starring in the above Mass Effect take-off straight from Microsoft HQ. Bell's performance in the clip, a clear indication that he's got a good sense of humor, would have been enough to win us over. But it certainly doesn't hurt that his monitor is clearly displaying everyone's favorite video game blog. Your check's in the mail Jeff Bell. That's right, the rumors are true: Microsoft is on Joystiq's payroll.

Just to left things clear I hate furry,yaoi and kotaku.That site is all F'ed up.

Thatoneguy64 @ Nov 20th 2007 4:56PM

YTMND?

Oh, you mean that 4chan-rip-off site that has no good, original memes? Right, gotcha. Had almost forgotten about that retard haven.

Seriously, people take YTMND seriously anymore? Its just a site filled with people that want to be just like their big brother Anon. Not going to happen, all they are is a cheap knock-off of a certain board at 4chan.

Thatoneguy64 @ Nov 20th 2007 5:00PM

Also: Wasn't aware that YTMND or 4chan (well, a specific part of 4chan) had claimed allegiance with one blog or the other?

Meh, not going to make me switch. Rest of Anon can view Kotaku all they want, I'll stick to my good ol' 'stiq.

Kotaku have 4chan on their side? 4chan hates Kotaku.

haha.
Originally when i saw that first picture of him, he looked like a major tool. He looked so damn happy in that picture, he looked like it was his audition picture for Blue Clues.

but this video totally makes up for it, it's nice to see he he's a funny, normal looking guy.
Even though i still prefer my execs to look evil like peter moore.
