It's been quite awhile since I've made a blog post. I more or less have stopped blogging, but recently I've had a nagging feeling that I should have a final word and bring this blog to an official close.

It's been nearly two years since I joined GameSpot and started this blog. I've made lots of friends over the course of these two years, and was getting more and more involved with the GameSpot community. But somewhere after the beginning of GiantBomb, the blog started falling apart, and I became less and less involved. Not that I ever got into Giant Bomb (I haven't logged in there in quite awhile). I think it was more about the familiar faces I knew from shows like On the Spot, Tournament TV, and even simple video reviews slowly fading away, leaving a staff nearly completely comprised of unfamiliar faces, people that, despite their efforts, could not save the GameSpot I knew and loved, and just couldn't stack up to the standard set by their predecessors. Some of the guys from the past remain, specifically Justin Calvert and KVO, but they alone simply serve as a reminder of what GameSpot used to be.

In other words, I've lost interest in being deeply involved in the GameSpot community. And with that, this blog has met it's end. It's not that I'm leaving the site entirely, though. I have been consistently checking news and reviews, and you'll probably find me posting my personal opinions in the comments. I'll still be checking out the forums once in awhile, and maybe I'll comment on a blog or two sometime. I'll be around, just not always actively participating.

Thanks to all of my friends and all those who've commented, read my blog, or even simply glanced at my profile, and thanks to all those who have helped improve the quality of my GameSpot experience. Maybe someday I'll return to blogging, but until then, goodbye and God bless.
