I still miss Greg Kasavin.

I still miss Greg Kasavin.

From the Hotspot?

 

[robotrock]

I still miss Greg Kasavin.

he wrote a really good article on the new doom game http://www.pcgamer.com/doom-is-asking-important-questions-that-other-fpses-arent/

wish he wrote more, but i love what supergiant is doing anyways. i will take any greg kasavin writing i can get.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

it's okay, guys, they're hiring

only requirement is "must be good at playing 'nearer my god to thee' on the violin"

 

[Savinowned]

Mary Kish is a rockstar. If she goes to Giantbomb she'd crush it. Best of luck to you Mary!

 

[chubigans]

No

...maybe tho?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Good luck to Mary Kish wherever she lands.

Can't really imagine what's next for Gamespot... Like, I don't visit very often, but it seems like the writing's been on the wall there for a while now.

 

[nyan]

It seems like all the good personalities on the bigger sites are realizing they have more potential just doing their own thing instead of being stuck with a corporate company. Best of luck to her and hope it'll work out for her

 

[strafer]

Seems like a good reason to post this image I guess

Also, the new Giant Bomb hire will probably be someone you've never heard of.

Drew?

 

[Milly Osworth]

Which Gamestop did she work at?

 

[chogidogs]

Last person at Gamespot I cared about. Good luck Mary!

I don't think she's going to GB. Maybe she's gonna do that Misscliks full time.

 

[Auctopus]

Who are the personalities left at Gamespot? Danny and Kish were the last bits I paid attention to

Peter Brown and Mike Mahardy are both great. I don't know a whole lot about the rest.

But she hasn't finished RE4 yet...

She said she'll still finish it (I'm assuming that's a hint that she'll be staying on the West Coast).

 

[Parsnip]

Drew?

Unholy hellspawn of Drew and Dan by the looks of it.

 

[Sanctuary]

More charisma leaves GameSpot.

Gamespot was forever dead to me when Kevin left. Although I still occasionally check the front page every now and then.

 

[Poyunch]

I really don't see her going to GB; it wouldn't even be a change in office buildings.

First thing I thought of is her helping out Danny on Noclip but that seems improbable too.

Mary is great, probably the last Gamespot personality I was personally interested in listening to.

Interested to see where she's heading.

 

[madmackem]

All the best Mary, she has been badly underused on camera. Her personality is so dope, she's such a badass the girlfriend of dreams. Selfishly hope she lands somewhere she's still on camera but all the best Mary.

Nein.

 

[Nibel]

I bet y'all wrong and she'll do her own thing somehow; Patreon allows these high-profile media peeps to do what they want if they play their cards right

Good luck to Mary though I gotta admit I'm not very familiar with her outside of her GB appearances

Thanks. Found my new avatar.

 

[ValeYard]

Mary is such a great personality on camera, with a ton of skills off camera, too. Always found her super fun to watch, and like her dark humour.

Best of luck, Mary!

Please be going to Giant Bomb, Please be going to Giant Bomb, Please be going to Giant Bomb, Please be going to Giant Bomb, Please be going to Giant Bomb.

I really want this, but I think that they will choose someone else.

 

[Par Score]

I wonder if there is a point in time when CBS might decide to merge Gamespot and Giantbomb.

I think that point in time was about a year ago, things like this take time and we've been watching it happen ever since.

 

[Devilgunman]

I really want her to join Giantbomb as much as some of you but I don't see how that's going to work. CBS owns both Giantbomb and Gamespot. I think they're shutting down GS because it's redundant with GB and if Kish want to be on GB they can just move her internally instead letting her walk away.

 

[TannerDemoz]

Why is everyone leaving everywhere this year.

Videogamer
Gamespot
OPM

They're leaving every year.

 

[Acorn]

Wish Mary all the best. I hope she ends up at gb but who knows.

 

[thepenguin55]

At this point, the only people I really like at GameSpot are Mike Mahardy and Peter Brown. Interested in seeing where Mary Kish goes. In most instances like this I'd guess a game developer but I don't think that's happening here. I'm also very doubtful about her going to GB even though Vinny is in need of someone like her to be able to help him out.

EDIT: Just found out that she plans to continue her play through of the RE games which says to me that she's staying in SF.

 

[Briguy13]

The mass exodus from Gamespot continues. Probably not long now before the whole website goes under. Their community is garbage, and only consists of System Wars ; the worst slime hole the world has ever seen.

 

[Mupod]

seems like a no-brainer for Giantbomb's mysterious new hire to me, but so did Danny.

The only reasons I can think of otherwise are that this is a cruel world with no justice, and that she's too good at video games to be at GB.

 

[CanUKlehead]

As much as she was a good on-air personality, she's more video and backstage, no? With Jason and Drew, does GBWest need another, vs GBEast that only has Vinny?

 

[strafer]

the good ol days

 

[Auctopus]

As much as she was a good on-air personality, she's more video and backstage, no?

Yeah, she's primarily a producer etc.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Poor gamespot. Peter Brown is going to be running that place off of a laptop in a basement soon if things don't change. Can't wait to see where Mary ends up next though! (Hoping for Giant Bomb even though I know it isn't realistic for her to leave one CBSi company for another.)

Peter Brown's work stinks, couldn't think of a more appropriate website.

System Wars is actually great once you become part of the community. It's one of the most tight knit group of folk I've seen on the internet.

 

[Zaph]

the good ol days

the good old days when they were on-camera crying over the sudden firing of their boss and worrying about their future employment?

 

[E92 M3]

Mary on GB would be perfect.

 

[chrominance]

I think that point in time was about a year ago, things like this take time and we've been watching it happen ever since.

I don't know if I see it, personally. Gamespot has always been CBSi's equivalent to IGN, with a big pool of writers and big floor shows at E3 and whatnot. It's a much bigger outfit and I don't know if Giant Bomb is interested in trying to take all that over.

I was a member for almost a decade, and de-activated my account last year because most of the long time members left, and the place got flooded with alt accounts of the lowest form of fanboys possible.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Yeah, she's primarily a producer etc.

Thought so. And unless she's doing production work for GB, not sure if she's a fit there.

Eh, regardless, good luck to her. Her and Danny ganging up on GB in Avalon was boss.

 

[Lashley]

Best of luck to her

At least Gamespot UK is still decent

Giant Bomb are in desperate need of diversity / someone different, we already know she would be a great fit

Probably going to work for one of the big publishers.
