I'm not sure how many of you are aware myself along with several other coworkers were laid off today from gamespot.

Yup, today was my last OTS, my last day as a gamespot employee, and apparently the first in what I'm sure will become a long string of sleepless nights (which is great since I have a 10 hour drive infront of me).

While I've only been her for 8 months, they've been 8 amazing months. GameSpot fans, without you there would be no gamespot. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm. GameSpot ex-employes, you guys made it fun to come to work and helped turn work-into-not-work. CBS suits - I've got some choice words for you but I'll behave myself one final time.

It's nearly time for my alarm clock to go off and that means hopping in the car for a stupidly long drive back to Oregon. Forget living in San Francisco without a job. If you guys want to stay in touch you can find me on twitter and myspace. (twitter = Batgirl)

Thank you all for everything.

Peace out.

CGS announced today they were ceasing production and have let their staff go.

We've seen CPL fall, World Series of Cyber Games fall, and now CGS seems to be the latest victim.

What are your guys' feelings on the closing of these leagues? Do you feel it will hurt the esports community or do you think it's just what the CGSs' press release said - they were ahead of their time? 

Are you happy to see a "private" league (and by private I mean CGS was only open to any competitor during their yearly combine's and that was the only way to have a shot at playing in their league - and occasionally they would put gamers that had big names on games they normally didn't play)go away or sad?

There's been a couple questions concerning how we've started doing prizes and trivia so I thought I'd give ya'll a heads up.

We've started utilizing the trivia module that appears to the right of the small player during the live feed. To use it, log in (please update your email addresses if they've changed because that email or username is how I'm going to get in touch with you to let you know if you've won!) then watch the show live.

When the trivia question is shown, if there's more than one we'll identify which question is 1,2,3, etc (they'll go in the order shown also so it's pretty straightforward), you will then select that question on the pull down menu, select A,B,C, or D.

Answering multiple times with different answers (or the same one) wont help you - the spreadsheet will filter out multiple answers from the same user name. All these entries are time stamped so we pull the earlist answer (after we've shown the question) and that's how we find our winners!
