I'm out.

Well as it seems to be more and more true, the departure of Mr Gerstmann has pretty much been confirmed, although the reasons for which have not. Jeff was pretty much the charisma behind GameSpot Live after the departure of Rich. He had some pretty big shoes to fill and he did his job admirably. Don't get me wrong, Ryan D, Ryan M, Brad, Aaron, Brian, Justin and all you guys behind the scenes who make GameSpot go are all fantastic, but ti was Jeff who held up the live side of things and got that charisma on camera.

Anyways, the alledged events being the case, I don't think i'll be around here anymore. For most of you this won't mean a whole lot, but for those of you guys out there who have posted on my blog and said hi occasionally (fishdalf, UpInFlames, the rest of you know who you are) I thank you dearly. I'm terminating my total access subscription and probably won't be here much anymore. I may still come back to check some things out, or just incase any amount of this mess can be undone.


Take care everyone

For Jeff.

Well I might not leave entirely, we'll see how things go. But i've already canceled my total access subscription and I will be blocking as many ads as possible. A lot of people are doing the same.

About Me

(5th Oct, 06... Thought this thing could do with a little update). I am Josh, I play PS2 and PC games. I hope to get a Wii at some point in the near future and possibly a PS3. I play a games from a wide variety of genres but my favourite games are FPS, Role Playing and RTS. I'm a big fan of the Silent Hill and Final Fantasy franchises. I listen to alot of music and I play acoustic and bass guitar. At the moment i'm listening to 16 Horsepower, Woven Hand, The Smiths, Akron/Family, Scott Walker, Primus, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Plaid, Ochre and much more I won't list here for your benefit. I've been at Gamespot for around two years now and I hope to be here for a good while longer. I like nice, idealistic people and I dislike most people including myself. Wait a minute...
