gshomer's Emblems

  • GameSpot Staff

    Representing the few, the strong, the proud, and the sleepy. This unique insignia belongs only to those currently employed by GameSpot or, rather, by its parent company, CBS Interactive. GameSpot employees no longer get a complimentary membership to the local fitness center and are no longer permitted to rest or eat lunch, but, to make up for the downsized benefits suite, they get this beautiful insignia on their profile pages.
