Who is that...? I don't know who most of the GS staff is... except the Admins who make themselves seen.

I hope this guy doesn't review DS games. DS reviews barely get posted and if they do, it's always like 2 weeks after the game is released.

honestly gamespot is slacking hardcore on reviews... seems to become a sell out site more than anything. Advertisements left and right, only the biggest games get reviews right away, sometimes at all. Give me a break, this is a gaming site, review every game, and get rid of all the ads that have nothing to do with gaming... CNET has enough money to do that lol... jeezum

Jason just sees a problem with writing dishonest reviews. I don't blame him.

... Thanks for the warm welcome.:|

The mods have actually known about this for a while, but we were asked to keep quiet until it was either reported (like Alex and Ryan) or revealed (like this).

Jason Ocampo mostly does PC games.

I'm pretty sure he's the only Asian guy on GS staff, correct me if I'm wrong though - anyway - He's the asian guy with the glasses.

Honestly, you could tell me anyone was leaving at this point and I'd believe it. ... Come to think of it Ocampo might have been the last reviewer that I was familiar with.

At first I thought Jeff's removal was a bit of a blessing in disguise (I hated his reviews so much) - I was mad about how he got fired, and ever since that day GS has almost no credibility, but because of him, most of the other good guys have been leaving too! I mean, why can't someone who sucks like Kevin leave? Why must it be the good guys like Alex, Ryan, and Ocampo?

Oh, and because I've said that I don't like Kevin and Jeff, I think it's time to grab my flame shield and get ready for the onslaught...

(Now back off! I don't want to explain why I don't like them, too much typing, away with you! Maybe I'll blog it sometime!)

They're all leaving at the same time man! I bet someone else just filed in a two weeks notice.

-hell, didn't Ryan and Jeff just start some blog thingy together? I haven't been tracking these guys when they left. Either way, they are quiting because they are all mad at their bosses! More power to them and all, but damn, GS is gonna eventually have no staff except the webmasters and mods.

"HEY WELCOME TO ON THE SPOT! HAHA, JUST KIDDING, EVERYONE QUIT!"

We need to make a thread called "what will happen to gamespot and the site once everyone leaves?"

I expect many "lulz"

I bet upper Cnet managment is really slapping themselves over this whole fiasco. I don't really blame the reviews either.

He reviews a lot more than just PC games, he does seem to be the reviewer of choice for shooters.

EDIT: Although it's true that he reviewed the big PC games the most.
