Jeff Gerstmann, 38, found dead after heated Yoshi discussion

[@BlackStripePres]

Gotta love a job where you can call your boss a piece of shit to his face and it's just a perfectly normal day.

[@evklinken]

And not just A piece of shit, THE piece of shit.

[@marco437]

Alex also knew Jeff before he ever entered the industry. Alex owes a hell of a lot to Jeff.

[@MossSquid]

The last thing that Ryan said to Rorie was "You human piece of garbage" This is the sort of friendly relationship that GB cultivates. It may sound like an insult but it's pure love.

[@TheFingledorf]

@@MossSquid It's a similar culture in RoosterTeeth.

[@ADekuKid]

Crazy that none of these guys are at Giant Bomb anymore.

[@Lazirus951]

There was such a special energy back in the day.

[@Barbabonbon]

Vinny, Alex and Brad are still making content together. And all 3 probably make alot more money than under the GiantBomb Umbrella. Jeff also makes alot more money now straight from the fans. We all should be glad that they found a way to be succesful without being controlled by corporate greed. I understand that this is not the popular take

[@jamiemadden2924]

And the world is worse for it

[@MadJackChurchill1312]

"Yoshi games are about a burning pile of garbage" - I fucking died.

[@jerjenki]

What’s great is since becoming a dad this game has come back to haunt Jeff.

[@user1point0]

I fully support Jeff's views on Yoshis being expendable

[@averageo2343]

In Yoshi's Story you don't even have lives, you just have a couple handfuls of backup Yoshis locked in a basement.

~*wrrraaaanannngguguhhhhh*~ ... "that's my yoshi impression"

[@KaneRobot]

Jeff is right, Alex is wrong and should feel like a bad person

[@Sammo212]

Yoshi are an expendable servitor race whose usefulness is only in how high I jump because of its death. Only in death is Yoshi's service ended.

[@ElitistMagi]

I really miss this banter.... why did it all have to change :(

[@Vallnerik]

Right around 3:05 you can see it on Vinny's face, he knows Jeff is about to go full rant.

[@aacampbell]

Thing that brings me back to this is that Jeff does not stutter, err, um or even pause in the rant. Gerstmann 2024

[@drencrum]

Jeff's not wrong.

[@poposterous236]

Yoshi isn't a character, its a species.

[@avidwriter2882]

I read the title... it was on the TOP of my suggested.... and I fucking though Jeff died! Till I saw the "2 years ago.." DAMN YOU!

[@Jimmy_Blanka]

We all miss him

[@toxeia]

Just experienced this, but 10 years after the video was posted. Lord have mercy.

[@sw97058]

10 years later and Yoshi is Jeff's daughter's favorite game.

[@billyb7119]

I'm just gonna say it. Yoshi's Island is a better game than Super Mario World.

[@DannyWilliamH]

Was Yoshi Big Planet any good?

[@frannavarro-efejota-5018]

Great platformer, actually! A bit of a shame they decided to port it to the 3ds instead of the switch, but at least we're getting a different one instead.

[@andreasvedeler80]

Giantbomb is a zombie now, don't know why it's still around when it has practically nothing to do with what it was

[@andreasvedeler80]

@@dorian6021 It seems just like all the other chipper and chirpy youtube shows. I want slow negativity

[@matthall7359]

@@andreasvedeler80 slow negativity doesn’t track well with the zoomers who are toxically positive about everything. They’re actively shitting on the new Zelda game with the cloning mechanics specifically because it’s not a remake of wind waker or twilight princess. Absolutely bonkers.

[@narcopsy]

Wtf at that title, what's wrong with you
