It is my sad duty to inform you that Game|Life East will be shutting its doors, effective immediately, as this is my final day as part of the Game|Life team.

I originally wanted to write something terribly witty and wry for my goodbye post. Something smart, with a hint of insouciance and perhaps a dash of sass. As hard as I tried to put the words together, it never really said what I wanted to say, so I thought I'd just keep it simple, instead. Hope you don't mind.

I'll still be in gaming (I'm not allowed to say where yet), so you'll be able to track me down, should you want to.

Who?

 

[FlyinJ]

Who indeed.

 

[Akia]

Who?

The Psychonauts lovin' writer who kept me (and other subscribers) updated with Yahtzee's latest ramblings amongst other things.

Shame that GAF isn't reading GameLife, it's a good blog except for the truly awful virtual console coverage. That Kohler guy has a real stick up his ass.

I read it too much, they need someone to do weekend stuff so I feel less crazy when I end up checking it like 10+ times with no updates

 

[Darkpen]

game|life had another writer besides kohler? I had no idea, and now I feel sad for no particular reason

 

[Kittonwy]

Does Kohler have another gig lined up already?

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Who?

This.

Kobun isn't going anywhere I don't think.

 

[Mr Jared]

Who?

Who indeed.

Less time sucking up to "important" people, more time reading the work of someone who is actually good at what they do.

Shame that GAF isn't reading GameLife

And this, too.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Game|Life is a fantastic game-centric blog and Susan was part of that successful formula. She'll definitely be missed.

 

[Haunted]

Who?

Spoiler

Yes I've read the thread.

I actually go to Game|Life first before any other site ever evening when I come home from work. And they have breaking news quicker than 1up and other big sites most of the time.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Good luck, Susan. I always enjoyed your writing over at the Game|Life blog.

 

[Flynn]

Susan is awesome.

 

[Nozdeuce]

Susan is awesome.

This. More awesome here

 

[Akia]

This. More awesome here

That's a lot of Wii reviews.

this reminds me what happened to the game life kids?

the half way decent looking girl who everyone thought was hot?

the big guy?

the guy with glasses who threatened to shoot up his college?

the guy who had to be on drugs?

Heh, that's a different Game Life... this is about the Wired blog called Game|Life.

 

[Firestorm]

Was it a remote blogging position or did she have an office and stuff? Game|Life needs to downsize? She received another job offer? What's going on!

Didn't one of them get arrested?

Anyways, I dug Susan's post on GameLife. Are they getting a replacement then?

 

[BTRA]

weren't they supposed to be on MTV?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

there is a wall between Game and Life. There must always be a wall. Now come sit, children. I shall weave you a tale of unicorns and beavers........

So many memories of that other Game Life.. :lol

I remember the gifs and the pictures when the guy with glasses was charged... :lol

Basically threatened some chick he was dating that he'd go Virginia Tech on her school if she didn't stay with him.

the young man always had a bit of the ole 'crazy eye' in him....


maybe it was just the fact his eyes went in different directions and he vaguely resembled The Penguin from BATMAN... who knows?

Is this really thread worthy?

Why the fuck are so many threads on this forum about gaming journalists? Who cares.

I'm sick of this forum feeding hack journalists' already massively over-inflated egos. So yes, "just to bitch".

 

[Schrade]

Game|Life is a fantastic Nintendo-centric blog

Fixed that for you.

I do. I'm here to discuss the industry and they're a part of this industry. Good writers should be recognized.

[Fewr]

I only read Susan's or Kohler's posts, it seems I will now have less stuff to read since I don't usually like what the other people write about.

 

[voltron]

Who?

.

 

[mosaic]

She was sick and tired of Kohler's constant retort of "That's what she said!"

 

[Alex]

You probably just could've read any of the large number of posts after the first "who?".

 

[Tabris]

So is Game|Life that bunch of socially inept gamers (the nintendo dork, the skinny guy and the guy who looks mentally challenged?) who made that 1upshow-esque video podcast that later had the attention whore girl and the angry guy join them?

They had like a moment of popularity like a year ago then kinda disappeared?

That's Game Life Show, this is Game|Life.

Really? You couldn't read this short thread to find out what this thread is about.

 

[Barakov]

The girl has an expression on her that clearly states "Man, I need to get the hell out of here".

Some say there is no point to this thread...
I say there is.

For me, it was bringing the existence of Crispy Gamer to my attention.
The site has the philosophy i've been looking for in a gaming website.
