I don't even know why I'm doing this but here goes anyways....
I'm pretty much going to stop blogging from now on, or should I stopped blogging 2 months ago
? In any case I have grown tired of blogging on Gamespot and pretty tired of Gamespot altogether. This website used to be something years ago when it was active and full of life. Now the only thing it's full of is 13 yrs old kids who think they know something about gaming or whatever they talk about.
For those who read this and are 13 yrs old don't take it bad I'm not necesseraly talking about you but rather those who speak in your name.
In this blog I have interacted with many amazing people and discussed many topics regarding video gaming and some stuff happening in my life. Gamespot has been something, now it's just a dull place.... broken behind the scenes (unions and such) and it lost all of it's meaning to me. I don't think I'll come back so often to Gamespot anymore, or at all. I still post (very rarely) in a union and (even rarer) in forums, but beyond that, you should pretty much consider me gone.
I used to say that there is no such thing as ''quitting Gamespot'', I still stand by that and that's why I'm not saying that I quit, just that you won't notice me here any longer...
Gone are the days of the unions, vibrant little communities within gamespot. Gone are the amazing video features by key reviewers, those we have now are just generic. Gone are the days of the good ol' gamespot, where you always wanted to go to the site, post, watch videos and etc...
I'm still gaming, still want to become a game developer and so I will still visit this site for reviews but for news I pretty much use only Kotaku. It's been a long run, I've met a lot of great people (murlow12, Phantom5800, REVOLUTIONfreak just to name a very few) but most of them (if not all) have already quit or have been MIA now, some have been gone for a very long time now.
So for all of those who made my experience on Gamespot a great one, thank you, it's been fun.
PS: I also deleted my union (The Nintendo Online Community Union), once again thanks to all those who made this union possible and helped me build it and make it the great Nintendo community that it was. It's time was done long ago and now I gave it the kiss of death and it's gone. Thanks for everything everyone! I'll never forget all the great moments I've lived within that union and how happy I was to lead it and manage it.
