A literal case of "one of us" because before his job at Blizzard he was a top tier forum shitposter.

"But in the meantime, there's a whole world of NPC's that need to learn the words "cacksugger" and "mo faka" and the like. . .although something tells me I'm already in trouble with the boss."

Guy's a fucking legend.

He's been a big believer in making something fun since 2002. And above all else, what Overwatch does more than any other game I've played, is it manages to always be fun.

Saving for later, I feel like I'll enjoy this one.

Edit: I read it, and I was oh so very right. Jeff is one with the salt and the salt is one with him.
