Spirit_of_87 from gamespot. He was like a more left-field and niche-nerd version of Leo with impeccable taste and great knowledge. I invited him here to the VGP on a couple of occasions but he respectfully declined.
sp0ink from gamespot. He disappeared from gamespot before I left
I've seen Minda Cubed a few sparse times on Xbox Live.....i mean VERY sparsely. I said what's up to him one time and he said hey what's up then signed off....hahaha.
He doesn't seem as social as he used to be on the internets.
Juradai started his own site and that's where the current Ring of Fire is housed there. Godmode is there.
I forgot all about HiResDes....he was a cool guy. And Webpoet was a big Opeth and Dream Theater fan.
Skylock,rag, gme, argianas all in Rof Juradai's site.
Homer is constantly playing stuff. Pedro is the last remnant of GS, he is still there. Oiler and Ask quit.
Of all the people from GS, I never thought Pedro would be the one to outlast us all. Anyway, here it goes:
- Omni-slash (aka JeremyMravlja) - started his own gaming website, which I could probably track down. I think Kitkat, or whatever was his name, is also there.
- SurlyYerby - don't know where and if he still posts, but he has befriended me on WiiU
- DarkCatalyst (aka PatM) - used to post on GS and later in the VU, owns a signed letter from Reggie, thanking him for buying all VC games on Wii. Biggest F-zero purist I've ever 'met'.
- Mystikvm - Dutch. Last seen in the VU.net. Might or might not be Iga
- Billy Amaro (aka RedMoses) - Xbox fanboy who I developed a mutual respect for during dabates in the GC/Xbox days. Dissappeared long ago.
- JonathanL - former mod, now posts in the VU.net, as does his wife Kamberly
- N3MO - will occasionally post in the VU.net
- RubixCubed - dead
- Crimsonpug - dead
- Iga_Bobovic - hasn't been around much since he left on a spiritual journey for true friendship.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of them.
edit: also, GG, it's Shleco. You make him sound like some evil oil corporation.
Cool s*** guys, updated the list.
Nice breakdown Supreme, the only ones from your list I personally remember are N3MO and DarkCatalyst maybe JonathanL.
But ah... you really mean those people are dead?
gamingeek said:But ah... you really mean those people are dead?
Yes,
Crimsonpug died last year after fighting cancer for many years. Rubix I am not sure of. She was going to help me out with the GoScers, didn't turn up. Then I got one PM from her account, stating that it was a relative of her that she had asked to tell me she got smashed up bad in a car accident. Nothing after that.
Yikes.
Wow, GoScers, forgot about that. Blast from the past. Explain the name again?
The GameSpot oscars? It isn't that far of a stretch to GoScers
Anyhow, in my search for OmniSlash's website I signed in to GS again. Man, brings back the memories browsing through my friends list. I can't believe JordanElek is still an active forumite there. He must have been there for over 15 years now. Also, if SurlyYerby doesn't ring a bell, maybe TheRagingGamer does, as his screenname was for most of his active time there.
I've forgotten my GS password, I saw my old profile page, jesus the design has changed a lot, far from what I was used to.
I think I remember DarkCatalyst. Didn't he have a Ryu icon and used to compete professionally at fighting tounries? He was a real purist.
What happened to the Croatian guy who used to always make videos with game footage and GYBE music ... and seriously lacked a sense of humor? He may or may not have become a mod at some point, I'm not sure?
Yeah, that was him. I only know of one guy who did something with footage and music and that was ArchieGates who made the needler song. I heard of him a year or two ago. He did a commercial for a Plants vs Zombies slots machine or something like that.
Yeah I don't remember anyone anymore from Gamespot, aside from you guys. And to be honest I don't even remember all of you from there, at least not specific details.
I do remember some bitch who used to troll all of my blogs, but I'm pretty sure that's because she was a cunt. Other than that.... nope. Nothing.
Let's make a list and
track these bastards downsee what happened to them.EX-GAMESPOT

Shout out and I'll add them.
