Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

jeffsekai's Articles

Like a lot of people I've been following the adventures of Gaintbomb since the very beginning, I always made sure to check the site daily and make sure I watched the latest dumb video they put out. Every week I download the bombcast and listen to the whole thing, smiling and trying not to laugh while on the bus. Jeff, Vinny, Ryan, and Brad (and everyone else) have become as close to being my fr...

There you go, here's a pro player talking about how all these changes are going to hurt SC2. Just thought I would put this here since when I look at this a lot of the comments are from people who won't play this game very long anyways, so here is the opinion of the other side of the fence. As for TeamLiquid thinking about 1 star rating on amazon/just being pissed off: Gotta side with TL on this...

Pre SF4 I the only fighting games I had played were Mk vs DC and Soul Caliber 2 and 4. I enjoyed both, but I never really understood either in terms of what high level play ment and how it was “suppose to be played” as oppose to just button mashing. Then SF4 came out and it clicked, I could understand what was going on even when I got my ass handed too me. I decided I wanted to get seriouse abo...

Is a piece of crap. Anyone who says otherwise is also a piece of crap. I just got a quest done for saying this. HA

I've been playing LoL for a while now and I'm loving it, I finally got fraps working so I recorded 2 matches last night. Also included is the Skype call that I was in with 2 other players ( Specialbuddy (aka Canned) and Annuvis ) we use Skype because vent is for hozers. The first match is me playing Jax, hes really fun dps/tank and hes kinda OP so it makes me look good! The second video (which...

http://cartoonoveranalyzations.com/2009/04/09/pokemon-explained/ My friend sent me this the other day and it literally blew my mind, its crazy that someone would think about Pokemon so in depth and honestly a lot of what this guy says is very true/plausible. Its a very long read but I encourage everyone to read it. Wait what you still think its too long...SHUT UP AND READ IT FFS.

A month or so back i found out that there was a Street Fighter 4 scene in my area after posting a bunch on the SRK thread I deiced to go (Really it was 2am when I found it and I had already decided to go). My first time going was less than amazing, I was still playing Balrog at the time and I didn't win a single match it sucked. Also going from Online where you see different characters every ot...

This is a great 8 part series looking at the History of the Competitive Arcade Scene. very interesting defiantly worth a listen. Theres part 1.

Ordered a TE R2 on the 16th and today its here yay! So since its kinda of a big purchase I decided to make a REAL unboxing video(unlike someone who recently got a new TE) So far the stick feels great, I love how heavy it is and it looks bad ass. :) If you want a proper review head over to iplaywinner for Jared's review. TECH NOTE: No idea why but the audio for some of the video is all janky but...

After just watching the first actual trailer for this game (via VGA's) I can fully say that I am 100% pumped for this game, judging by the names they threw around in the trailer its going to be exactly like the book. WHICH IS AMAZING. I was worried they were going to make it some weird alternate version of Reach but nope there totally going to have the cast from the book. Also I am really diggi...

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. I was going to post this as a reply to a thread but it kidna kept going so now its a blog deal with it. I was thinking about that a few weeks ago. I think its amazing how great of a community we have here in the SF4 boards. No other forum has this, after persona 4 ended people stopped posting there except for the odd post here and there, not...

In late February 2009 Street Fighter 4 was released. Leading up to its launch I had listened intently to everything the bombcast had said about it to get hyped up for it. At the time I was a fan of fighting games but only casually I had never watched one be played or anything like that (I don’t even think I really knew was Evo2k was) and I was generally pretty bad at them and never understood h...

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. THATS RIGHT BABY THE HYPE TRAIN IS BACK!!! IF YOU MAD THEN YOU JUST DONT KNOW! So me and SpecialBuddy did some super casual matches a few days ago (some of the matches recorded are a straight up joke haha). But there's some good combos and matches sprinkled through out, so I recommend watching them all :). I defiantly play better in these vi...

Myself and JJOR64 played some matches last night, and I must say I didn't do very well. My play was off the whole time so I really only included the matches that were actually close. Out of the 20 or so matches I only won 1 . I defiantly need to find some answers for a turtle E.honda because as you will see I pretty much just give him the win alot of the time. Oh well, enjoy!

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. I had to write this for a course in collage felt like sharing. In the article Gaming and Violence by Harvey Rothwell, Harvey writes about how a boy who played a lot of video games essentially took the law into his own hands and died because of it. The boy was shot and killed with his own hand gun by the custodian Brice Smith after a botched...

As some of you may know a month or so I made a post that basically said I was ready to quit SF4 because of limitations I experienced within my own thought process while playing. Well I took alot of the advice I got to heart and now a month in the future i belive I am a much better SF4 player and have defiantly gotten over that wall I was at before. I went back to the drawing board on which char...

I main Blanka and use a SE stick with modded parts I bought Street Fighter 4 first day and have been playing it since I have over 150hrs of game time in it, I love it when im doing well ( and even sometimes when im not) I'd like to think Street Fighter 4 is one of my favorite games ever and that im better than the average player. But even after all this time I still cant wrap my head around eve...

Halo wars should have been so much more, the game I just bought/beat has to be one of the worst games I have ever played. Sure it controls fine and even kinda looks nice but there are so many issues that (for more than 60% of the game) I felt like I was playing some crappy budget title, the sound design sucks, the graphics are boring to look at and way to simple ( and im not just talking about...
