I maybe new to this site, but the fact of the matter is that I've been following GameSpot since 2006. That's during the days of when people like Greg Kasavin, Alex Navarro, Ryan Davis, Jeff Gerstmann and many others were around. Before the infamous day when Gerstmann was fired, and the many great GameSpot employees left the site soon after Gerstmann's leaving . I never actually got around to joining this web site for several reasons, one being is that the only way to join is you'd had to be a paid subscriber back in the day, and the other is that I didn't really care. . . . At some time in my life. Those classic days of GameSpot were something. A lot of great personalities, well constructed podcast like the HotSpot, and the old school version of On The Spot, which is now know as Today's On The Spot, the Points Report from Gerstmann, the original Last Word and Button Mashing. My favorite editor of the site was Greg Kasavin, his words that he put together in his review made them an exciting thing to read. Of course, things got rocked when the day when Gerstmann was fired. GameSpot changed a lot for everyone that has/had love for this site. I didn't know what to think of GameSpot since then. Many other great staff members left the site after Gerstmann, and my interest for GameSpot dwindle. But things were looking up as Gerstmann announced that he and other former GameSpot staff members were going to start their own video game web site called GiantBomb. I've followed that site since the early days, I mean early. Before the site actually launched, I was listening to their podcast and commenting on their content back when the site was in make-shift blog days. I was excited for GiantBomb's launched. For the some of the time that I've spent, things were good. But as time when on, the potential deteriorated over time. GiantBomb didn't worked out as much as I hoped. The majority of the community is terrible, the mods are unfair to people that weren't a apart of the majority of users that made the site awful. I've seen users reply to others with a "f**k you" and get away with it, but at the same time, a mod, and I kid you not, banned a good user for disagreeing. The community would also show off their troll side when it comes to certain topics, like the Wii, anime, or this site. And there's the staff and content. . . . My God it's just pales in comparison to what they've put out for GameSpot many years ago. The staff is bias, they put too much coverage on the Xbox 360 and not enough on the PlayStation 3, and especially on the Wii. As for their podcast, it's way too long, too much pointless, unfunny filler that has nothing to do with video games. The amount of enjoyment I get from the BombCast is the same amount I get when I'm just standing around in a Zoo watching monkeys fling their crap at each other. I can tell that the staff has this "We can do whatever the f**k we want" mentally. I didn't see it as a bad thing, in the beginning, but now it's taken it's toll. Now I'm here. I'm not guaranteeing myself that things will be better here. I have heard many bad things about this site, and the mods here can also be unfair with the users. I'm going to do the best that I can to stay away from any confrontation with the mods and trolls of GameSpot. . . . Let's see how this will go.
