Farewell Elyse Mandatory Update


https://twitter.com/ElyseWillems

Good luck to her and wherever she winds up next. Always felt GT has had the best group of people, and really they are the only gaming related group I have followed religiously for almost a decade now. Glad she found a new place to call home, and hope the GT guys can find another voice to fill the void she left behind. GT seems like the only level headed and entertaining voice in a sea of screaming youtubers and pessimistic gamers.

 

[LiK]

isn't she the only female on staff? i like her. that's a shame. poor Ian

 

[MayMay]

Sad to see her go.

 

[Feep]

Aw. Hope you end up on your feet, Elyse! <3

[thenexus6]

While I don't watch GT content much, I really like the videos on her husbands channel (James from Funhaus) where they play games together. I wonder where she'll go next?

Furboy wishes you well with your next adventure.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Nooooooo, but to where? Also are all Scrumber Kings going to leave GT after winning?

 

[Heyt]

Is there any reason for ther leaving? I was not a huge fan of hers, but I liked her.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

might be hard for her to find a job as a lizard

 

[WrenchNinja]

What happens to mandatory update

you can't have turtle doves with just ian

 

[mrjohill]

Aw that sucks. What's gonna happen to pervence?

 

[Femto.]

They brought side-bitch along for a reason.

 

[The Flash]

Ten bucks says she's going to work with her husband at Funhaus.

 

[CupONoodos]

Damn. GameTrailers loses another great staff member. Sad days to be a GT fan....

 

[NullPointer]

 

[Prompto]

I was just starting to get into Mandatory Update

 

[SPAW]

Elyse leaving? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[JayEH]

Sad to see her go. Liked her when she was on GT time.

 

[Zalman]

I wish her all the best in the future.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Elyse, don't forget to turn off the light as you're going out

You wouldn't want to burn the gametrailers offices down or anything

 

[James Scott]

Was her turning into a lizard in the final Bosman alluding to this?
Not a fan of mandatory update, mostly because of Ian, but she's pretty cool. Sad to see her go

 

[Espada]

Didn't you guys see the latest video? She defeated The Bosman at Scrumbers and proceeded to turn into a lizard. That's why she left.

Sad to see her go, makes me wonder where she's headed next.

 

[Zyrox]

Aw man :/
I liked her. Especially on GT Time.

 

[Rhaknar]

ib4 new giantbomb hire

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

This makes me sad but at least she is going up in the world.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

ib4 new giantbomb hire

Her on the west coast cast would be hilariously refreshing.

 

[Vire]

I didn't recognize her by name, but when I saw the picture I remembered who she was and that she was always very personable and nice in the videos. Wish her well.

 

[Trago]

What will happen to Ian then?

But seriously, I wish her the best. She contributed greatly to GT's content.

 

[SPAW]

Ugh, the GT guys really need elyse to hold them in check (keep the madness in constructive moderation), and Ians heart must be breaking....

This is just the worst.....

edit: WHAT ABOUT PERVENCE????

 

[way more]

Anyone know the gender make-up of the site now?

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Nooooooooooo! GT won't be the same without her! Mandatory Update is dead now isn't it?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Anyone know the gender make-up of the site now?

 

[AkelisRain]

Wish her well, she was really great. Loved watching Table Top adventures, Mandatory update was funny too.

 

[Ashtar]

Dang that s crazy I'll miss her on GT time wish her all the best.

 

[YoYo Switch]

this girl is hilarious

 

[Darrenf]

No more Mandatory Update?

 

[galvenize]

 

[Jonnax]

Kyle played Damiani at Scrumbers and then Damiani left.

 

[Hot Coldman]

fixed

 

[CIA]

I'm sure there are thousands of women with decades of gaming experience just waiting to fill her spot

Hope they make the right choice

 

[Zxrophantom]

This makes me sad, she was an awesome member of GT and always had an interesting point of view when it comes to games. The crew at GT have been great recently and it sad to them even one of them go. Hope she move on to something bigger and better.

They should really think outside of the box and consider hiring two females.

 

[Cave Johnson]

That's too bad. I always liked Elyse's personality in GT. It's not going to be the same without her.

 

[Fachasaurus]

She will be missed greatly but whatever outlet she heads off to has just got another follower.

Hopefully GT doesn't suffer. It is my absolute favorite group of people talking about games.

 

[GamerJM]

Well this explains the end of Bosman's episode this week. I was wondering wtf that meant.

 

[Jonnax]

They should really think outside of the box and consider hiring two females.

Well Defy fired Damiani after he moved out of the office so I'm not sure if they're going to hire anyone let alone two.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Elyse was a major part of why I enjoyed GT. Her and Ian were a great combo and she brought a much needed female perspective to GT Time. I wish her the best wherever she goes.

 

[UrbanRats]

They should really think outside of the box and consider hiring two females.

"hire"? They don't seem to be in the best position to hire anyone at all right now.
I hope they won't suffer further lay offs, if anything, since they're already down to skeleton crew.

Anyway, i echo what i said in the GT thread, she was the funniest in the team, and will be a huge loss, but i wish her the best.

 

[Agram]

I started watching Mandatory Update after this year's E3 and I loved it, every bad joke was still kinda funny. I was a huge fan but I just lost another show I enjoyed watching.
Wish her the best of luck!

 

[TouchMyBox]

Sad to see her Dafoe.
