You know that scene in 'Last Action Hero' when the main kid walks ino the police station for the first time and and then Sharon Stone walks past him followed by the T1000, and he kinda just follows them with a turn of his head in disbelief. Thats what it was like when I saw Alex at the Gamescom 'Germany' this year.
I just didnt expect to see him, even though I knew that Rockband Beatles was making an attendance and the knowledge that Alex works for them (or at least some form of music game). As huge fan of the oldschool 'original' Gamespot, it was a great moment I wont forget any time soon.
I stopped him, told him Im a fan of his gamespot years, and that himself and the rest of the crew (Rich Gallup. Greg Kasavin, Jeff Gerstmann etc) were at the top of their game when they were at the helm, and overall that they rock. This photo soon followed.
Unfortunately I didnt see Alex again, dispite his invitation to perform at Rockband Beatles. But I'm happy enough just bumping into him. Bumping into one of the old school crowd could be compared to finding Deoxys in Pokemon, they are spread out and are rarely found in public expos like this since leaving games journalism.
Next up on on the spot, Rich Gallup. I wish.
p.s. should be getting photos and vids up on here on the next following days
