I Guess This Is Goodbye Then

For the longest time I have been looking for a reason to move from GameSpot to 1UP.com, but it just made no sense. My friends were here, I had a laugh with the unions, and I liked to blog (though that has gone downhill recently). After all of this "Gerstman-Gate" fiasco, however, I think it's finally time.

See, I have been listening to the 1UP Network Podcasts for ages, and loving them. They make me laugh, they provide good, honest opinions and above all, I still respect them. The HotSpot is still funny, but not in a way that these podcasts are. In the same way I grew to know the different editors of GS, I have begun to recognise the familiar voices over at 1UP.

As such, this is goodbye. I am cancelling my subscription, and leaving this account here to wallow in the mound of blogs, reviews and forum posts that I have dedicated to it. I am taking my caravan and following the dusty trail over to 1UP.com.

If anyone ever joins me, or is perhaps already there, my username is Shasam (YAY! No 712!). Although I may check this account from time to time to see comments, friends blogs and updates, the majority of my future in online game perusing is going to be done at 1UP.

It's been real, and for that I thank you, but for the last time...

See you around, GameSpot ol' buddy.
