I've always been an IGN guy, but I won't lie to you-- I've always checked out GameSpot, and now it's mostly what I like to call "Home". I am deepley saddened on Greg's departure from GameSpot, although not bitter-- in fact I am very happy for him to finally pursue what he always wanted-- create games. Greg was a respectable, informative, and just down to the bone-- thoughtful person when it came for his love of games, and the industry that fuels it. It's also interesting to note, that Greg has always been enthusiastic about video games, and his utter downright passion about writing them. In fact, looking at Greg I see a lot of him in me, since he's always had my respect as a game reviewer. I have read hundereds of his reviews, and thought one thing: There's not a better guy on the internet that does it better than him. Greg has also played an important role in my life, since I am a very passionate on games myself, but also writing about them, I find just as much enjoyment. To my eyes, Greg does indeed have the perfect job. It hit me a few years ago, that being a game reviewer is really what I want to do, and no matter what Greg was always pushing other people forward to pursue their passion of games-- and that's what he has done for me. I wrote for an online gaming site(Advanced-Gamer) back in 2004, while I resigned due to focusing on school work. It gave me a bit of a taste of what that job is like-- and let me tell you, I instantly fell in love with the concept. Life is always hard, and there's also a brick wall at some points when you are speeding head on-- only to find yourself insantly stopped by the immense force of the brick wall only to find out that you've just hit rock-bottom. Looking at Greg and his thrive to pursue his dream job, is an inspiration to anyone who wants to get into the games industry, and an inspiration to me. I've too been playing games all my life-- while not nearly as old as Greg, I've had a passion just as big as anyone who works in the industry. Thank you Greg, for your time at GameSpot. While I never truly chose GameSpot all these years, I occasionally came here to read your reviews, opinions, and thoughts about the industry. Your love and dedication to GameSpot will surely be missed. Thank you for doing what you did-- because if it isn't abduntantly clear-- you've done a fine job, and I'll go a bit further to stretch the truth, you've done a fine job as anyone that came before you. Good luck to your future job, and farewell.
