A blog 4 years in the making

So this is my first post on Gamespot in almost 4 years. Give me a moment to let that sink in... phew, ok. I, like many others, jumped ship when the now infamous Gerstmann-gate debacle took place and with it the mass exodus of GS personalities we had grown to love. I never held any real ill-will towards GS' staff, as none of it was their fault, but at the same time it just didn't feel like home anymore. Sites like 1UP and, of course, Giant Bomb gave me my internet-gaming-stuff fix just fine so I never really missed GS. Since then even more has changed in the world of games journalism. 1UP has become a sad shell of what it once was and Giant Bomb has flourished. So with today's news of GB's acquisition by CBS I was at first concerned. But when I thought about it, I realized that a lot of time has passed and the jerks responsible for that crap are probably gone. Plus, and this is a big one for me, John Davison is the head honcho. I've followed his work for years and years, back to the old days of EGM, and I have tremendous respect for the man. So I'm actually kind of looking forward to seeing what Giant Bomb's future holds, under his guidance. Godspeed and good luck gentlemen.
