In twenty two minutes of writing this blog it will strike midnight in the UK and will mark a decade of being a user on this website (September 21st). though this account is not my original one (I signed up as vengeance00 back in 2004 at the age of fifteen) I have been frequenting this site for many years and have seen people come and go and gotten used to I think three website changes. I've watched events coverage like E3 when Gamespot began streaming them live and seen a number of staff-produced shows aired and canceled. and unfortunately I've seen the dark moments as well, the accusations of bribery, targeted hatred and just general nastiness from both the members of the community and the gamespot crew themselves. but this site has continued to grow and change for the better and while everyone has a favourite site to get their news, I find myself drawn to this site time and again.

It has been fun Gamespot, lets see if you can make it another ten years with me!

aye I don't frequent the forums as much as I do the news posts. probably why you haven't heard of me. plus I mostly only contribute if I can bring something meaningful to the table; instead of the usual "NO i'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG!" arguments that most do on the internet.

@AllicrombieI'm star-lord, man. Legendary outlaw? Guys?

@GZATHEGENUIS: I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't decide to browse through my old posts.

I began coming to Game Spot when it was first launched. It was free then. As the cost to run the site increased they charged for premium content and I agreed to pay the charge. The site was started for PC games then. After all the years and changes the site was better in the earlier years. You received better information about games and the reviews were better. The reviews were more about the quality of the game and not about who the developed the game. Right before the last site change a vote was held to determine the best game in the last ten years. The out come was never officially published because the game that Game Spot wanted to win was losing in the voting.
