    • I'm awful at goodbyes, so...

      ...goodbye.Boy, that would have been awfully obtuse, wouldn't it?I'm going to do my best to avoid turning this into a massive weep session.

How coldly efficient.Wait, let me back up a second. I'm getting ahead of myself.Odds are you've probably heard by now. Yes, last week I put in my two weeks notice and I will be leaving GameSpot as of next Thursday, January 24th. No, this is not my big goodbye post.... Read more »
