I don't even want to laugh, he is dead inside
Reasons like this are why I love Joel McHale, he's actually funny off script
Oh god you could tell he was uncomfortable
:(
If you look at his favorite tweets, he favored two tweets last night.
One said he was awful and the other said he should proud of handled himself through the night.
I think the guy is seriously shaken up by all this. :(
I was waiting for McHale to say "just dew it" or something about playing a game with a nice bag of Doritos by your side.
Who is this "Dorito Guy"
[QUOTE=Crazy;43113494]Who is this "Dorito Guy"[/QUOTE]
Geoff Keighley did an advertisement for mountain dew and doritos and then

must be angry at that mchale guy for the constant lack of fucks he gave throughout the whole thing
classic winger

what
Geoff Keighley is a douche who sincerely considers himself better than the rest of the current video game journalism scene and it's hilarious to see him get into such awkward situations.

That was another one he favorited.

Jeff Winger, his character in Community. Who he basically is in real life.
i didnt watch vgx but i heard there were a lot of shitstorms cause of what joel said and im very proud someone dares say the stuff everyone else is too afraid to say
why is Doritos guy even famous aside from being a meme?
is there anything good about him at all?

Well he does have an unreleased alpha disc of half-life 1 (a more recent build than what leaked awhile back). Beyond that though I don't give a fuck.

i want that fucking disc

He was a video game journalist who happened to be good at presenting. That's it.

"was" implies something I take it

Not really, he just mostly does presenting work now.
I don't really know Keighley but watching this made me feel bad for him. McHale was acting more as if it was a roast instead of a collaboration between two videogame presenters.

Kneightley is most likely paid to provide one sided "opinions" and McHale knew it and used it.

Keighley has the same job as, say, the Carson Daily of years past.
You ask some questions, build interest in the work, but you don't make waves.
It's getting the information out without being a dick.

No it's being a soulless coporate tool without an own opinion.
geoff seems like a nice guy

If that is true then that's pretty bad. Regardless, McHale could've gone about it in a more civil way instead of just outright bashing him.
One thing I disliked the most though was McHale going on about things like the way Keighley looked. I mean, if you dislike his journalism then that's fine (again, I don't know Keighley so bear with me) but there's no need to get so irrelevantly offensive.

Keighley is actually a corrupted jackass who is essentially giving coverage on whatever pays off the most, and he never hid from that fact.
A huge portion of the video game journalism community consider him a soulless hack that sucks the dick of whatever company will prove the most favorable in return and who will gladly sell out at any occasion.

The thing is, Keighley is known for being really, REALLY pretentious and condescending. There was this one incident a while ago where Angry Joe asked a legitimate question and Keighley pretty much just told him to shut the fuck up and leave, while getting a wave of hypocritical, forced laughter from the audience who had to either agree with him or leave too.
It was only a matter of time before Keighley met someone who was ready to just bash his ego in and made fun of who he actually is.

Yeah, that definitely changes things up. Sounds like a real douche. Thanks for shedding light on the situation.
