To say the least, I was suspended for a week, and lost a grand total of about 70 points, for posting an account suicide thread. That's my fault, I take responsibility, although I wish it wasn't such a huge penalty for my firs time. Even though I was gone physically, as one could say, I was still here, lurking the forums, catching up on the news and so forth.

One of the things that really left me dumbstruck was hearing about Alex Navarro leaving Gamespot. Even though my account is relatively new, I've been coming to Gamespot every since it was "videogames.com", so as you can imagine, I've seen people come and go; but now it's just becoming ludacris! I mean, he was argueably the last remnace of what Gamespot used to - well yeah Ryan Davis, Bryan Eckberg, and Ryan MacDonaldare also part of it - but it's difficult to think otherwise.

I remember watching On the Spot! With Rich, Jeff, and Dave; I don't think you ever got that feeling that it was a huge family anywhere else! But sadly, it's all over and done.
