It references what made GFW radio special, which was the interplay between the participants' personalities. So just because you were "keeping Shawn in check", that doesn't mean people would want him to be less outspoken, or that they dislike him. It was more like you were foils for one another, playing the parts that made for great entertainment and insight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-69904000448240791672008-09-22T00:27:00.000-07:002008-09-22T00:27:00.000-07:00Between Shawn's homage to you and now your words a...Between Shawn's homage to you and now your words about Shawn, I must say that I pray that the both of you will continue to write in some way.

At first you were one of the many 1up podcasts that I subscribed to on that one day, (due to the fact that Gamespot only offered one, and my drive to work was considerably longer than that.) but, over time, i found myself laughing and relating more to your podcast more so than any other than I was listening to.<BR/><BR/>in all honesty, it had nothing to do with the fact that you covered PC games; it was the voice in wich you all spoke with realism and humor.<BR/><BR/>I will never forget sitting in the parking lot of my local grocery store, knowing I had to buy milk and what not, but I had to sit idling to here Shawn go on about his adventures in second life.<BR/><BR/>This is a conversation anyone could have with a good friend who wanted to grief, but I was entranced. <BR/><BR/>Thank you both for validating the hobby of an English teacher dad who loves games and humor. It's 1up's and my loss, but It's also my gain in the future when I sample the products that both you and Shawn have been involved with.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Russ the English TeacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-26054257723855109662008-09-21T17:21:00.000-07:002008-09-21T17:21:00.000-07:00WHAT THE FUCK!!1up is maaad dead.

I'm ...Aw, these blogs are way too much fun to read. I'm a bit sad though because obviously Jeff is going to be starting his new job next week and won't be able to blog like this - how come he didn't get a job writing for a daily newspaper? They could've given him his own space, and he could've called it Greenspeak, and he could've written about life, the universe, and everything. <BR/><BR/>What I find fascinating here is the way the GFW editors, after having had the rug pulled out from underneath them so to speak, have moved on to seemingly bigger and better things. First Malloy, then Green, and now Elliott.<BR/><BR/>This is further evidence, I think, that in order for something good to happen, it's often the case that something bad - or a string of bad things - must happen first. <BR/><BR/>My experience has been that when the bad thing is happening it often feels like the whole world is conspiring against you, but that in hindsight, when you step back and look at the whole sequence of events from afar, it's often the case that a pattern will emerge. It's like there's a kind of method in the madness. <BR/><BR/>Boy I sure hope that Jeff writes about his experiences at EA - that would be fascinating. (Maybe he's one of these guys who deals with stress by writing about it?) Jeff, we are all benefiting greatly from these frank discussions and it would be a great shame to have these blog posts of yours dry up on us. Keep writing!<BR/><BR/>Also, this is completely off the topic, but why is it that before I post a comment I have to type in a 'word verification'? Presently I'm seeing the letters 'tsasmrl' in green, and I have to type these characters in before posting this comment. Inevitably I get the sequence wrong - it seems like a silly thing to have to do?<BR/><BR/>WabeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-72532922999453244742008-09-19T09:27:00.000-07:002008-09-19T09:27:00.000-07:00The very best of luck to Shawn.
