Gone gone. Just a short time ago the whole site was set to redirect to that other entity (that I shall not really comment on because… not worth the breath). The promised archiving under Engaget? Can’t find it. Not easy to find, and not all there. BUT… who wants to support them with clicks anyways?

Regardless, we can’t be erased. There is a way to still see all my past work (and that of the other great staff members) thanks to archive.org. And bonus — none of the page views go to support the company that tossed the great news blog and its awesomestaff to the curb in the first place. So its loss. Archive.org, you seriously rock! You have my support (and all my clicks!).

The cat is finally out of the bag. You know that Massively.com, the place that got me into this whole writing-about-games gig (not to mention got me playing more game than I can count!) is shutting down on February 3rd. Yah.

As I stewed in this news for this past week, I had intended to write a long, touching, heartfelt post about my experiences there — all the things I learned, the amazing experiences I had, and the awesome people I met. But I hope you’ll forgive me that I just can’t do it yet. Words are failing me. It’s not that I am super depressed; I am actually excited for the upcoming changes. Instead, I just can’t seem to compress all that stuff in my head and in my heart into a single set of prose. I am sure I will eulogize at some point, but for now just know that I never go down without a fight and I certainly never give up. I’ll be looking for shinies in games until the day they pull the plug on the net!
