I was a little flippant in the last entry so just in case it isn't clear, I fully understand how completely messed up this is. It's as if Gamespot is trying to destroy their own credibility, trying to make people cancel their subscriptions, with how they're handling this. For the love of God apologize. And if you can't apologize, or don't feel you have to, put the situation out in the open. This policy bull crap about how we don't talk about former or current employee's hiring/firing status is a load of crap. Protecting his privacy? Then why can't Jeff talk about it? Cnet lawyers protecting him from himself?

I don't want to be a big drama queen and leave Gamespot, that's always a load of crap to me, "leaving" the site. It's the internet, you're not really going anywhere. But I'll be damned, Cnet sure is trying it's damndest to change my mind.

edit: And God dammit, do you even realize who you're firing? Greg Kasavin is gone, if he was still here I think Gamespot could weather this a little better (I'd like to think it never would have happened but what the hell do I know?), but now... I don't want to say this in an insulting way to the many editors left over who I've loved to read over the years. Brad Alex all them don't get me wrong I would grieve their leaving in a very real way especially under these circumstances but when you fire Jeff Gerstmann you're cutting off the goddamn head. I mean who the hell do we look to now? Who is the face of Gamespot? And how can we look at whoever takes Jeff's place without a sense of suspicion? If they can swallow their morals and take up his position in the wake of something so blatant as this, what the hell are we supposed to think?

At least we know for sure that the Gamespot Kane and Lynch review is the unbiased truth. Just don't trust any more reviews, unless the reviewer gets fired for it. Instant review credibility.

I was thinking about doing a "How To Play Kane and Lynch" video a while back that would have consisted of an elaborate HTPK&L logo followed by "Don't." in block lettering but all the Anti-Kane and Lynch thunder is stolen now!

Damn iO should have just made another Hitman.

And not even really that. I just finished this video up, it's more Toribash (your favorite) but this time prettier, as Hampa (lead developer on the game) shot me a 3.0 beta copy with all the pretty new graphics. I've been a bit busy as of late but I'll come up with something to post on here again. Not to be a nag but Gamespot hasn't been too inspiring as of late.
