Gamespot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann: Huge Neo Fan

[LIVINGWONDER]

Well I get the gamespot e newsletter. This guy was reviewing XBOX titles and was reviewing Metal Slug 3 and mentioned in his review that he owns the real thing and has a link to his collection page where he has 34 AES games. Anyone know him? Does he post here?

 

[SNKJorge]

I wonder if he's a Neo•Geo Legend?

 

[LIVINGWONDER]

I don't know if he is. But it does make you wonder if he posts here or at least knows about this site and lurks here.

 

[SNKJorge]

I don't know if he is.

the thought of that makes me want to go tinkle in my underpants.

Wasn't he the one doing the 10 minute long rant about the Neo? Someone posted that some time ago...

Yeah, that was him. He's a big neo fan and one of the many that swears sam sho2 is the greatest fighter ever.

Do you have a link? Thanks.

Here is Gamepot's recent (somewhat) thoughts on SamSho 2. It's not Gerstmann though:

Here are the other games the gamespot staff considers to be the best:

Do I detect a hint of bitterness/jealousy underneath that sarcasm?

 

[Buro Destruct]

You got the "huge" part right.

 

[twalden]

Where were all these "praise the Neo" game reviewers 4 years ago when SNK was going under and needed support? They were nowhere to be found. Too little, too late.

 

[Trifecta]

You got the "huge" part right.

Is he like 350 lbs. or something??

Oh, they were around. The problem was that everyone else (and even some of said reviewers, according to some reports), were too busy burying SNK by stealing pirated ROMs, and not enough people (reviewers and otherwise) were actually supporting SNK by buying actual products.

That was actually Greg Kasavin. Total different person.

 

[Atro]

That was actually Greg Kasavin. Total different person.

Yeah! The one that look like a mega-ton Big Mac fart.

Great Neo Fan though.

 

[galfordo]

That was actually Greg Kasavin. Total different person.

Yeah - I thought that was actually a pretty decent video. A little on the gh3y side, but you could tell that the guy was pretty passionate about the neo, and was perfectly willing to let people know it.

Some of the parts got a laugh out of me.
