    Maybe I'll just take to reviewing movies, instead. Here, I'll try this one. My Best Friend's Girl looks like it probably sucks. How's that?
    Maybe I'll just take to reviewing movies, instead. Here, I'll try this one. My Best Friend's Girl looks like it probably sucks. How's that?
    Last year, we all witnessed the first salvo in the process that makes game reviewers obsolete. Yes, I'm talking about Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's shockingly accurate review of the Xbox Live Arcade release, Braid. At the time, he said... well, I actually don't really remember what he said. I just remember that feeling of being shaken to my very core.

    Well, the full-scale invasion of famous-type people reviewing video games is now in full-swing. The latest transgression comes courtesy of stand-up-comic-turned-actor Dane Cook, who recently took a little trip to Infinity Ward to check out this "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" game they're working on.

    After the trip, he had this to say...
    Infinity Ward - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: How good? Eating your fav ice cream while getting a bj in zero gravity ... is a close 2nd.
    ...oh, and he said it via Twitter. I suppose I should point that out so that the lack of specifics on the graphics, gameplay, number of levels, and "fun factor" makes a bit more sense. I like that he's ditched the whole "wait until the game is done" thing that the current crop of game reviewers seems so hung up on these days. Just get to the point already, right?

    And, obviously, Cook comes with a pretty heavy pedigree. From another entry on the man's Twitter thing:
    I'm a hardcore life gamer. ColecoVision was my meth growing up. Mr. Do!'s Castle was my turf. Looping was my bzitch. WarGames owned pwned.
    LIFE GAMER, dude. Anyone that can casually name drop Looping is A-OK in my book. So that's why I'm packing up my stuff and turning my attention to more fruitful endeavors, such as my new business venture, jeffgerstmannshowsyouhowtorumba.com.

    Well, regardless of my now-obsolete career, this all looks like sound purchasing advice to me. I mean, I like ice cream. And I like Call of Duty. And I like "ice cream," if you get what I'm saying. So clearly Modern Warfare 2 is going to be the greatest game of our generation. If you need me, I'll be packing up my things and crying.

    [UPDATE]: As I was getting ready to fire Ryan and shut down the office, I showed him the text of Dane Cook's review and he immediately became infuriated. It seems that Ryan used this exact wording in his review of Raymen 2 for the N64, which was written back in 1999! Old habits die hard, eh Dane? Well I guess we ain't going nowhere and you can expect to hear from our legal team. Good day, sir.

    Dane Cook seems like a pretty cool guy, he wears Dio shirts and talks about video games.

    At the same time though, he's the biggest and unfunniest douchebag in existence.

    Yeah, I don't really think Dane Cook is all that funny.   A lot of people I talk to say he is overated.  To each their own I guess. 

    But when it concerns CODMW2, I'd listen to anyone who has been to IW to see it.

    So... They brought in a standup comic/rom-com film actor to look at an FPS that no footage has been shown of yet? Well, at least he liked it, maybe it's a good way to reach the "hardcore life gamer" audience instead of just entheusiasts that read sites like this.

    A friend of my mine actually had the pleasure(?) of playing GRAW 2 with Dane Cook. My friend started spawn killing, which was not down in Dane Cook's book. So, Dane simply said "Not cool, man..." and booted him from the game. And that was the end of that. In case, you're wondering what Dane Cook's gamertag is, it's Dane Cook. Yep.

    I played on Xbox Live with Dane back when Ghost Recon 2 was fairly new, and Dane was still hardly known (compared to now).
    He posted his Xbox live account on his website, so i figured what the hell, i'll check it out. I was a fan. (it was DANECOOK, btw, not sure if it is anymore).
    Either way, he fucking LOVED GR2, and was acctually pretty good at it... so it seems authentic and probably not forced...and it makes sense to me that he would spooge over CoD:MW2 (man, the zero G element of that comment just got weirder when you consider Zero G spooge, eh?)

    Jeff, you're a great guy. You're smart, funny, and an excellent writer. But I have to say, you are overly insecure about the appreciation of game reviewing.

    Game reviewing =/= music reviewing. Music is entirely subjective, as can be seen by the 21st century's crapfast; which still makes a shitload of money, despite the fact that the "music" of The Jonas Brothers is entirely abysmal.

    And while some dude might have thought Vampire Rain was the best game ever, games cannot be taken subjectively (consensus)even when compared to movies. Because games either work, or don't work.

    Argh! I hate Dane Cook because he's popular, but I tell people it's because he's a bad comedian and steals jokes! Arrrr!
