It was a genuine honor to get to work with Gordon here and there the last couple of years. A true legend and a tragic loss. Condolences to his family and friends.
Gordon Mah Ung has passed away on December 21. He was a force in the PC community and I am proud to call him my friend. It is a very sad day.

Got to play a chunk of this a couple months ago and I'm super curious to see what people think about it just kinda throwing out large swaths of the RTS playbook. When it was first described to me I think I just said "c'mon you can't do that" like six times in a row.

They should bring the Playroom Labo into the new Astro Bot and give it VR support, I want to look at all the hardware up close in 3D and hold it in my (virtual) hands. Those models are so accurate there's like legitimate historical value to this.

If any current GameSpot engineers want to help dump the data for the old component scores that no longer surface on the site for archival purposes (assuming they're even still in the db), please hit me up.

I've been slowly losing my mind the last few days, staring at that tweet and grappling with the fact that someone is actually trying to reinvent good old scorecalc.xls
look, at funny as this, back in the early early days of GameSpot the reviewers literally filled in a form with 5 or 6 categories (graphics/gameplay/etc) that generated a game’s final review score using an algorithm none of them knew or had access to.

Thanks to Sony for sending over this video game console that appears to have been overtaken by spiders (uninfested PlayStation 5 and one (1) standard fruit unit included for scale)
