Meh Shawn Elliot has been there for a good chunk of time. He left cause his buddy Jeff Green did. Had Jeff stayed Shawn would still be there
Shane will soon move on to develop for home. He'll get those videos to stream or die trying.
Community managers are fucking tools who take credit for other people's work. Fuck them.
just think about some of the people who were hired away
just think
He's leaving to be a community manager?
as i was telling patel community managers are part of the reason this industry fails to attract really, really top notch talent, though only part.

They both are leaving/left, I imagine, because the reason they were employed by Ziff got shut down.

Why's this?
I figure that taking a job as a community manager is probably something of a risky proposition. It's a "new" job and I think in a few years, dev teams looking to trim the fat will realize that they aren't really effctive positions. Their salary could go somewhere useful.
"Community managers" tend to take credit where credit most certainly isn't due. Imagine you were working on a top notch game and all the interviews and credit are being directed towards some bumblefuck podcaster.

they still covered PC games for 1up. Probably made the same money they made while their magazine was still alive. I do suspect the pay at Ziff has to be the shittyest of shit compared to the rest of the enthuthiast press. Where else do they live in some bizarre roomate comune system? I dont hear how theres tons of turnover at IGN or Gamespot.

Dunno about that, really. Is Major Nelson a community manager? If he is, I haven't seen anyone give him credit for any actual work on a game.
It just proves my point. Look at his sense of style. Are you going to harp on a physical difficulty he can't do anything about? Heartless.Maybe the game industry wouldn't need community managers if game developers weren't such trolls.This is where I quote your avatar.
What developers are actually allowed in front of the camera? Dreamboats like Cliffyb and Ted Price, and gorgeous babes like that girl who made Assassin's Creed. Burly monsters like Gabe Newell. Kung Fu masters like John Carmack. Attractive people. That's who the public wants to see. Not some sickly albino with a 3 week old neckbeard and a wrinkly Mark of Kri t-shirt on.
Miyamoto is a community manager. Lord knows he hasnt made a game anytime soon.

Nor am I particularly talented, or deserve credit for anything. But I know people who do.
I don't think this is an endemic games journalism problem. It really looks more like a Ziff problem. It's only 1up that seems like the revolving door.
Even those that really love their jobs (as Shawn and Jeff have said 100 times), you're right-- that ship is sinking.
A lot of people have left GameSpot, even before the whole K&L debacle. Hardly knowing anything about the personalities of that place, I can recall several people leaving for jobs at places like Blizzard and EA.
the last podcast was neat. Shawn basically outs Shanes Gaf account
DOES HE?
Who is it?

I had a laugh at Editorial Director Sam Kennedy throwing a hissy fit at Gaf denying that Ziff was in a shitty situation.
Jeff said it outright last week, GFW closing was because of Ziffs economic situation

Its in the segment when luke calls
, you make under the average salary for US residents...
i love it when games writers say stuff like "i'm leaving to make games" as if taking jobs as community managers means "making games"
i'm sure genghis loves hearing shit like that, too, knowing he could have skipped all those years of school and long hours of hard work - and just made podcasts instead

well, i paint filthy apartments for a living, where sometimes people have let their pets shit up the walls and didn't bother cleaning it before moving out
and stinkles will rest his shaven head on a pillow stuffed with halo cash tonight
so what the fuck do i know
Welcome Stinkles
Who the hell is this Sideshow Rahib fellow
two months later NOI offered recompense but someone is too good for free games it seems. :wag
don't rush me to the grave, i have eleven!
chandler was 44 when his first short story, "blackmailers don't shoot" was published in the pulp magazine black mask
so i have five more years
once, i was fishing around behind a bath vanity to clear some trash out of the way, and stuck my fingers into the open end of an empty bottle to get a grip on it
when i pulled it towards me i saw that it was an empty rubbing alcohol bottle with an uncapped and used syringe inside, needle-side facing out, a little bit of cruddy liquid still inside the syringe
if i'd reached any further into the bottle i would have injected that mystery liquid into my finger
i thought to myself, "maybe this just isn't the job for me."
that was ten years ago
so all in all, i'd rather be a community manager

he didn't make the game.
Stinkles, I was one of the many distinguished mentally-challenged PC distinguished effete fellows that attacked HALO andn HALO 2 without playing them.
Now that I've beaten Halo 2 on WINDOWS XP I take my hat off to Bungie.
Tremendous work, tremendous series. Excellent gameplay, humour and mechanics.
I just wish Halo 3 got ported to the PC.
I hope you read this post and know that I MEAN IT.
Borys' fiance left him? If true, that's harsh

Hooray, Stinkles is here!
hey stinkles i have an idea for a game. it's called "halo revelations" and u play the son of master chief, his name is max (short for maxwell not maximum). master chief is kidnapped by the covenent so max chief must go save him. max chief has many powers because he has the new spartan-iiii armor which is specialy made for kids. gamepalay is like halo PLUS force unleashed. max can pick up objects in the environment and change their shape. like if u are being attacked by a brute you can pull a iron piece off the wall then turn it into a spike with your psychic beam and stab the brute. or if you need to cross some water u can take a rock and turn it into a boat. also there is a outer space battle with arbiter that has very revolutionrery gameplay but i wont post it here because nintendo might steal it for wii sports 2.
if you want 2 use my idea please give me a call but please call after school or on weekends.
Yeah, give me your Facebook account so I can send you my riveting Master Chief/Marcus Fenix crossover fan fic! When the Locusts and Covenant combine forces, who can stop them but humanity's greatest heroes? Guest starring Keith David as Keith David.

Go right ahead. I'm not a producer. And producers range from "organizers" to "in charge of the whole goddamned project" so I'm not sure why someone would automatically hate "lowly" producers anyway. The job varies wildly from organization to organization.
i don't even know what y'all are talking about in here. i just saw stinkles post and wanted to say hi 'cause he's a cool duder in my book. i don't give a shit about producers or game journalism politics or any such bullshit. why are we talking about reasons why we're supposed to like/dislike stinkles again? why are some people getting their panties in a bunch again? are you people actually jealous of the attention he's getting? i just can't believe that - what is this, high school? people were just having fun, you fuckwits.

Because what it comes down to, is that Stinkles has no other real goal than to sell the newest edition of Halo 4, or any other mediocre yet way overhyped product Bungie makes.

WTF
Stinkles used to kind of, sort of be my boss. True story.
Back to :tauntaun
The problem with that is that a lot of his opinions seem to be based on random myths thrown on message boards by people who don't play games. You know the sort that says things like "MM 3-6 are bad". Still, he does make Retronauts.Yes! Totally! 100% agree with this :lol
Retronauts :bow2
Anthony is fine when he it doesn't resort to having really lame back story/skit/joke character shit behind it. I think in the 2 years of GFW Radio the low point was that lame ass Yaddle shit they would drag out. The stuff on 1up FM is also really bad.
Anthony is awesome :maf I thought that yaddle shit was funny too, with the fake offense and all that. Anthony's rants on 1Up FM are now the highlight for me.
I was not a fan of Patrick personally.
And I like stinkles :-*
Parish is kind of like the guy you love to hate. Man, when he gets an opinion, he is not changing that opinion come hell or high water.

Please show said pic, because the only pics I remember where of him and his ugly gf
Is Anthony the dude from the Gamestop Chick story thing? That guy is a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.
"I came here to do two things, one to buy this copy of MGS4, the other to ask you (something)". What the fuck.
Damn. You guys are just some fuckin' haters over here. Anthony is the man. All Brodeo members are. And I'm not really sure who Parish and Klepek are, but they can't be as annoying as Shane Bettenhausen when he's runnin full speed. And even though Shane gets on my nerves, he's still alright and says some righteous stuff from time to time.
