Just got Burnout Paradise for PS3 yesterday. This is the game I have waited my whole life to play! Anybody want to meet up online, my PSN ID is basskitten.

Crash ya later!

Freezepop are the Gametap Artist of the Month. There's some cool video stuff with them playing Rock Band, their clip for Less Talk More Rokk, and so on.

I love Freezepop. I just saw them here in SF a few months ago and it was pretty much the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. If they come to your town, go see them. And go buy their new album Future Future Future Perfect while you're waiting, it is really great.

That is all.

I met Jeff G way back in 1996 when I started working for GameSpot. We never worked in the same department, and we never hung out all that much, but after 10 years you get used to passing someone in the hall, and nodding as if to say "yep, we're still in this thing together." I always read and watched his contributions to the site, and I enjoyed them immensely. Clearly this was a guy who had passion for the product (which is something we always emphasized as paramount - when I was interviewing people I always asked them if they played games, what games they liked, what they liked about them.)

I no longer work at CNET, and I don't know any of the facts about what happened. All I do know is this mess of undignified rumor-mongering and press releases does a disservice to a great guy and a unique voice. I'm pretty sure he will bounce back from all of this but in the interim, it still sucks.

Jeff, you deserved better.
