I think we expect that EA and Activision probably already do this. It's just when the outlets cave to the pressure that we have anything interesting to talk about.

Won't be as good as the first one!
I'm pretty sure that the stuff about the Tools of Destruction review isn't new. I seem to remember hearing about that not long after the whole Gerstmann-gate thing happened.
Edit: Yup, here's a story by Patrick from back in 2007 which mentions them having similar issues regarding the Ratchet & Clank review not long before the Kane and Lynch review.

It's almost as if neither side ever confirmed it so it was just speculation or something.

No more rumours and speculation. It's all water under the bridge, etc, etc.
Me too, I want to see the guys have their own places, if they want to, that is. Always seemed weird to me they had room mates with the work they did (well, at least Jeff and Ryan), but I guess I have no idea how much they get paid (and to be fair, they live in one of the most expensive places in America to live in).
Great thanks, not heard from Davison for a long time.
it's almost as if it was 100% obvious what the reason was the entire time.
then it turned out to be that 100% obvious reason!

I posted it earlier but whatever.... why are people angry that the story was what they expected? Should they have came up with some big elaborate story just so people could start posting Shyamalan pictures?
It was important that people could see both sides publically talk about it and move it, it showed maturity from Gamespot and while it wasn't as 'shocking' as some people might have wanted, it did alot to re-assure people that Gamespot has changed and this deal might just be beneficial.
ok, my animosity against gamespot has ended. I trust Gerstmann and what he's saying, so GS is officially visitable for me once again and I can finally place IGN back in the graveyard where it belongs. It's so weird visiting my profile again after all these years and seeing my shitty looking photoshops and blog posts. It's like literally going into a time machine. I really don't want to see how my forum posts were.
Anyone else former GS members that are coming back? Gimme some usernames. Mines the the same as my GAF name

For the link I just posted? Sound works fine for me duder.
No not that one. I'm pretty sure I saw a video at some point where all the gamespot guys were together in a room saying goodbye to Jeff or something. Like the last episode of the show or something.
Ahh ok, yeah not sure where that one is.
Meditation/Haiku Jeff is my favorite part about that tribute."that he knows about"

Yeah, they did a video with Ricardo and Ryan talking about the firing and what it would mean for GS. It must be archived?
Alex has the "fuck this shit, I'm out of here asap" look throughout.
Yeah that's it. Thanks!
Thanks!! Haven't seen this in a long time.

With Vinny selling bootleg Domino's out the back, yes.
He did talk to him, Rorie was with them in the quick look, no? Also he did a long write up on it. Kinda funny that Jeff forgot about Rorie too.

Good thing you got that clarified for yourself, close call.
I kinda got the feeling that Rorie didn't really want to talk about games.
Just though I would post this here.. for some GOOD ole gamespot action.

Man, watching that after listening to Gerstmann talk to Davison how the Gamespot staff really got thrown under the bus for no reason, as his "termination" was entirely the doing of the CNET management and had nothing to do with them....it must have really sucked for all of them
Alex in particular looks uncomfortable during the entire thing.Alex always looks uncomfortable. But that is why I like him.Man, watching that after listening to Gerstmann talk to Davison how the Gamespot staff really got thrown under the bus for no reason, as his "termination" was entirely the doing of the CNET management and had nothing to do with them....it must have really sucked for all of them

Man the gamespot videoplayer sucks. I really hope that none of their bloated site design bleeds over, because Giant Bomb are way ahead of them on the UI side.
